On Sunday, Grammy-nominated rapper Nipsey Hussle was shot dead in broad daylight outside one of his stores in what police reportedly suspect is a gang-related incident.
Hussle, who rose to national stardom following the release of his Grammy-nominated 2018 debut album “Victory Lap,” has been open about his past involvement in a South Los Angeles gang. Despite his rough upbringing, the Los Angeles Times reports, Hussle (born Ermias Asghedom) had become a pillar in the community, generously donating his resources and employing many in the area through a handful of stores, including Marathon Clothing, outside of which he was killed Sunday.
