Nipsey Hussle has passed away at the age of 33. The LA-based rapper was shot dead earlier yesterday outside of his Marathon clothing store in Los Angeles during afternoon. As per reports, he was shot at alongside two others by an unknown person multiple times which led to the death of the illustrious MC and wounded the rest. Having become an integral part of the West Coast hip-hop scene, Nipsey was nominated for the Best Rap Album at this year’s Grammy Awards for his 2018-released album, ‘Victory Lap’. Following the break out of the unfortunate news of his passing, several artists and other stars came together on social media to mourn the loss of one of hip-hop’s modern greats.
Our prayers and thoughts are with Nipsey Hussle and his family and friends.
