As noted in the report, Hussle’s estate has not yet announced any plans to celebrate the rapper’s birthday next month. There will likely be an organized event to follow up the official Celebration of Life that took place at the STAPLES Center.
Back in April, thousands attended The Victory Lap rapper’s memorial service held at Staples Center in Los Angeles to honor the slain entertainer. During the memorial service, many spoke about Hussle’s significance on the culture including his girlfriend Lauren London, family members, Snoop Dogg and many more. Barack Obama penned a heartfelt letter sending his sympathies to Hussle’s family.
“I’d never met Nipsey Hussle, but I’d heard some of his music through my daughters, and after his passing, I had the chance to learn more about his transformation and his community work,” the letter reads. “While most folks look at the Crenshaw neighborhood where he grew up and see only gangs, bullets, and despair, Nipsey saw potential.”
Obama continued: “He saw hope. He saw a community that, even through its flaws, taught him to always keep going. His choice to invest in that community rather than ignore it — to build a skills training center and a coworking space in Crenshaw; to lift up the Eritrean-American community; to set an example for young people to follow — is a legacy worth of celebration. I hope his memory inspires more good work in Crenshaw and communities like it.”
