Nas: "..Nipsey is a True voice. He will never be silenced."
Efter nyheten att Los Angeles-rapparen Nipsey Hussle skjutits till döds inatt svensk tid har hiphopvärlden sörjt offentligt. Rapparen var en extremt respekterad av omtyckt person, som dessutom lämnar efter sig partnern Lauren London och två barn. Namn som Drake och Rihanna har gått ut på Instagram för att visa sin respekt, där den förstnämnda bland annat skriver:
“I’m only doing this here cause I want the world to know I saw you as a man of respect and a don.”
Rihanna uttrycker även hon sin sorg med orden:
“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!”
Svenska QD3 har också lagt upp en bild tillsammans med Nipsey där han skriver:
“No words… #fuckguns they keep taking leaders… small minded ish. Love to u and your family #Nip #RIP ? I was just at the store a few days ago and everyone was excited about having bought the block and ready to rebuild and spread positivity. #WTF.”
Läs flera reaktioner från bl.a. LeBron James, Pusha T, The Game, Nas, J. Cole och Snoh Aalegra.

???. A black man, was murdered today. He was a man to his woman, a father to his children and a leader in his community. We are weaker without him.

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.

Nipsey was all about his community, investing in Vector 90, a co-working space in South Central LA for entrepreneurs and place for young people to take classes in STEM. Please take a moment to watch this. His legacy. pic.twitter.com/OnrPS3cZeQ
