The Marathon STILL Continues – Nipsey Turns 35 Today

The music world still mourns a true artist in Nipsey Hussle. The American rapper would have celebrated his 35th birthday today but his memory is all that family and friends can hold on to in this nostalgic moment for them. Nipsey was shot in March 2019 outside his merchandise store and was pronounced dead on arrival at the hospital he was being rushed to. He left behind two sons, Kameron (sired by London’s ex, Lil Wayne) and Kross. His widowed girlfriend, London, has eulogized him yet again as her “… best friend… greatest teacher” and “beautiful strong vessel”. She capped the heartfelt caption with “Eternally Yours, Boogie”. Nipsey’s friends and fellow celebrities have also taken to social media to wish the fallen hero a happy birthday and to resound their praises for him. The likes of Snoop Dogg, who released a track on Friday titled Nipsey Blue, were among those. Nipsey won a Grammy Award posthumously this year for the Best Rap Performance as well as the Best Rap/Sung Performance of the Year. The rapper had received the BET Humanitarian Award, posthumously still, last year for his charity work in his hometown in LA.
