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.”

From that day to letting you open up for me on tour & us going around the world together, creating a bond & watching your growth to today…… Murdered my friend in front of his own store on a Sunday at that !!! After just talking to you on the phone just last night about the Dr. Sebi documentary, family, the kids & how we were both bout to f&$k the summer up with this music, the world loses a true king. A man that was truly about everything he spoke & stood up for all that he believed in.
