Wack 100 stopped by Nick Cannon’s Power 106 show in Los Angeles on Thursday (December 5). Unsurprisingly, the Wild ‘N Out firecracker asked Wack about the controversial comments he recently made regarding the late Nipsey Hussle.
In an attempt to clear the air, the veteran music manager explained why he can’t call Nip a “legend.”
“I’m not involving myself with who he was as a father or what he was to his community because I don’t know what his portfolio was,” Wack said. “I don’t know! But what I do know, and if I don’t know it I can go check, is the stats of music.
“I said he had a few joints that I personally felt should have went. I named the joints. I think if he would have been around long enough, a little longer, maybe he could have got to that status. But for me to give him that ‘legend’ word means we have to go back and give LL [Cool J], Dr. Dre, [Ice] Cube and all these other people a different moniker.”
Wack has kept his name in the headlines for his outspoken opinions on the slain L.A. rapper. Last month, he explained to TMZ why he didn’t believe Nip is a legend.
“He wasn’t. What’s a legend? Define a legend,” he told paparazzi. “If Dr. Dre, right now, died, we would say we lost a legend, right? Based on what? Numbers, right? Body of work, right? How many albums did Nipsey drop? One album, right? This not no personal shit I’m talking, right?
“This just real shit. The man died with a million followers, no radio hits, no platinum hits, right? No world tours, right? After he died, he went platinum, sold a bunch of records, his followers went up nine, 10 million, right? First of all, we got to define what the fuck a legend is, what the fuck a legend ain’t.”
He also reiterated his point during an interview with the No Jumper podcast, while calling the posthumous love for Nip “fake.”

who cares anymore
Why the fuck is Nip’s name in his mouth yet AGAIN? Shut the hell up and let that man Rest In Peace. Dude left a family and friends behind so put some respect on Nip’s name.
Nothing he has said was controversial, and nips name is in his mouth because he was asked about it. Where did he lie? I’ll be waiting for the rest of my life for someone to explain where he lied. Everybody is too sensitive, and yeah the love is fake. Like the Paul Walker love was fake too. Nobody loved these dudes til they died, then they’re legends. Sorry, Wack is right
FUCK WACK 100- U BITCH U-THE MUTHERFUCKIN MARATHON CONTINUES BRUH!!!
Biggie smalls sold 67.000 albums the first week off Ready to die and wasn`t platinum untill after he died either.. So if we are going by stats i guess Big wasn´t a legend either lol.
Ready to Die was certified double Platinum just a year after it’s release. Two years before his death. Da fuck you talking about.
wack is too real for the new school fake woke flash in the pan fans
Is this nigga dumb for real? There’s a difference between a “legend” and being beloved. Brady is the greatest based on stats, he’s NOT more beloved than Lamar Jackson already is around the league, I’ll bet my life on that. Nipsey was independent most of his career, so no, he wasn’t a legend in terms of numbers. But he was beloved, more than almost anybody on the West coast not named Snoop, Pac, Dre or Kendrick. And that’s the real issue, this goofy nigga, his talentless “artists” and anyone else he’s involved with will never get that love. Ever. And I guess it stings. But he’s old enough to understand, he ain’t no fucking child…
