Papoose has revealed that he and Nipsey Hussle had plans to work together before the Los Angeles rapper’s untimely death in 2019.
Taking to Instagram on Friday (March 3), Pap shared a video showing off a bunch of official Nipsey Hussle apparel gifted to him by Nipsey’s brother, Blacc Sam.

“Me and Nipsey was just about to work together before he passed. Never told that story!” Papoose began the post’s caption.

In the wake of Nipsey’s death, the Hip Hop community was left shattered. The Victory Lap rapper was shot and killed in front of his Los Angeles Marathon Clothing store in the spring of 2019. He was 33 years old.
In other Papoose news, the New York rapper —who’s been in the game nearly two decades — shared in a recent interview what he believes is the “hardest” verse of all time.
