As reported, rapper Nipsey Hussle tragically died today after being shot multiple times outside of his clothing store in Los Angeles.
The father of two was pronounced dead less than an hour ago, however the outpouring of emotion has been immense from his peers – many of whom are struggling to make sense of the news.
Word from Drake, Rihanna, Pharrell Williams and more below…
This doesn’t make any sense! My spirit is shaken by this! Dear God may His spirit Rest In Peace and May You grant divine comfort to all his loved ones! ???

Watching Nipsey inspired me to invest and own in our communities. He was a solid man who loved his woman, his family and his community. This hurts.

Hip-Hop aside..Nipsey was a Father. A Husband. A Son. A Brother. A community leader. He was a human and other humans need him.
He worked hard. He never asked for handouts. He wanted to learn & be great in every aspect of his being.#RIPNipseyHussle
You are a legend Soldier

Nipsey was a model for me: his music, his intelligence, his entrepreneurship, his love for his woman, his focus on community & education. He was an honorable chief in a time where honor is scarce. I still don’t want to believe the good die young #RIPNipsey

Wow! The black community really is delusional. Nipsey hussle was affiliated with gang activity. Hours before he was shot and killed he bragged about having enemies. Yeah he may have helped his local community but at what cost!? Was he also selling drugs and or selling guns illegally!? He was a gang affiliate and this is why he was unfortunately murdered. Gang affiliates are not good people regardless of what community they help. Gangs are responsible for the continued war on drugs. Being a gang affiliate in the public eye glorifies gangs and that is why the US is in so much turmoil. We celebrate and allow ourselves to be entertained by gangsta music and music that talks about all b****** I f***** or drugs I sold to get to the top and or the illegal gang activity. It’s ridiculous. I feel bad that he was murdered but to have so many public figures speak highly of someone who was a gang affiliate that is a problem. What does that say to the fans!? Gangs are cool… not!
I get the gang sh*t but you didn’t know him personally to say he wasn’t a good person. A life was still taken and regardless of the reason, people with hearts are still gonna mourn. What an insensitive a**hole.
While it does sound a bit insensitive there’s a lot of truth in C’s statement. There’s really nothing good about being in gangs. Gangs sell drugs and only empower drug use. Gangs distribute and sell illegal guns. They also employ the youth in our community to sell drugs and they arm them. Nipsey was vocal about his gang activity and flaunted having enemies. That was not smart, he welcomed death at his door. If I have enemies I want to know why and I want to diffuse the negative energy and resolve conflict. Young people are impressionable and they look up to celebrities and people in the public eye. We shouldn’t be celebrating someone who enabled illegal activity and glorified being a part of any gang. We are sorry for loss of life but maybe if he wasn’t apart of a gang or didn’t glorify then maybe this wouldn’t have happened
You are SOULLESS!
This is sad. When I got the first tweet that he was shot 6 times I knew the outcome would not be good. Prayers for him and his family.
I remember everyone was saying he deserved the Grammy over cardi. So I’m glad to see the celebs aren’t being fake af with their support towards London. this is just sad Af. I’m not gonna be fake and say I bumped his music because I didn’t, but I’m going to listen to some of his stuff.
RIP
I don’t morn homophobic people.
Black people and their conspiracy theories smh. He was murdered by the pharmaceutical industry cause he was doing a documentary on the cure for a*** and cancer,LOL.

RIP man!
Reece effect album out now https://hiphopza.com/album-a-reece-reece-effect/
Literally just downloaded this guys album Victory Lap last week after coincidentally seeing it on my friends last played, I was enthused by his wokeness that always draws me to an artist, it’s really sad because I’m sure he’d have become an international star, and a role model to a lot of black men around the world. RIP
People plotting on your demise. Such heavy news to have to wake up to. Condolences to his family and loved ones. Rest in Peace Nipsey??
Why didn’t he take Jasmine the ladyboy TROLL with him?
They both belong in HELL.
