Lauren London Posts Nipsey Hussle Tribute

by

Unfortunately, it hasn’t gotten any easier for the hip-hop world or society at large to reckon with Nipsey Hussle’s loss. The Crenshaw rapper remains a symbol of inspiration and admiration for many, and with other tragic losses in the rap community, his murder is a somber but important part of that history. However, that’s not to say his death looms primarily over his impact and life, which are what fans, friends, and family treasure and champion to this day. On the fourth anniversary of his transition, his partner Lauren London shared some potent words of grief, but also love.

“I hold my breath all of March knowing I have to face the memory of the day you transitioned….” she captioned a picture of Nipsey. Holding on to ancient wisdom but the pain is the pain and nothing was ever the same… Eternal Being Ermias Asghedom [his real name] I Love You.” Not only that, but she also included a passage from texts from the Bahá’í faith. Said message reflects, in this case, on the “Racks In The Middle” star’s immeasurable impact and the continuance of his spirit.

Lauren London Reflects On Anniversary Of Nipsey Hussle’s Passing

“‘To consider that after the death of the body the spirit perishes is like imagining that a bird in a cage will be destroyed if the cage is broken, though the bird has nothing to fear from the destruction of the cage,” it reads. “Our body is like the cage, and the spirit is like the bird. We see that without the cage this bird flies in the world of sleep; therefore, if the cage becomes broken, the bird will continue and exist. Its feelings will be even more powerful, its perceptions greater, and its happiness increased. In truth, from hell it reaches a paradise of delights because for the thankful birds there is no paradise greater than freedom.’”

Meanwhile, developments in the murder case surrounding Hussle took hold of the media recently with the news of his murderer Eric Holder being a target in prison. Although many feel passionately and rightfully about the need for justice, many argued that to honor Nip is to continue positive cycles, not negative ones. Recently, his brother said that his children own the Marathon store he opened, creating the generational wealth he aspired to gift his family. With that in mind and other developments, we can remember his legacy for its greatness, not just its tragic end. Regardless, come back to HNHH for the latest news and updates on Lauren London and Nipsey Hussle.

Nipsey Hussle Murder: Ex-LAPD Officer Suggests Police Ordered His Death

by

Bernard Robins, an ex-officer of the Los Angeles Police Department, suggested that the LAPD might have orchestrated the murder of Nipsey Hussle. The Crenshaw rapper’s passing struck the hip-hop community like an earthquake, and though his legacy endures, his loss is still painfully felt by millions. Readers may remember that the police department launched an internal investigation into the 33-year-old’s loss. However, Robins recently said during an appearance on the Comedy Hype podcast that he didn’t discard the possibility of police ordering his death. When the podcast host brought up the department’s other accusations of organized murder, the ex-cop expressed belief that they possibly took Nipsey out.

“I think that there could have been,” he stated. “I’ve never witnessed any law enforcement officers say that there was something going on or even eluded to it. But there’s that possibility. We know a lot of the positive things that he was doing in the community. So, there’s definitely that possibility that they were that determined to stop what he had going, that they probably could have sent [Eric Holder Jr.] to go and do that.

Ex-Officer Alleges That LAPD Ordered Murder Of Nipsey Hussle

“I think also that they said [Eric] was an informant for law enforcement. That was a part of the issue that he had with Nipsey Hussle allegedly so we don’t know. We don’t know what was going on behind those closed doors.” In addition, the LAPD denied reports from the Los Angeles Times that they were investigating Nipsey. Also, they reportedly targeted his businesses and movement in a secret operation. While this is a lot of speculative material, neither law enforcement nor state prosecutors explained how they came about in the first place. As such, many looked to these organizations with raised eyebrows.

Meanwhile, the rapper’s killer Eric Holder Jr. received a 60-year prison sentence this February. However, even with all these accusations and potential malpractices, Nipsey Hussle lives on in ways more important than any of that. For example, his brother Sam stated that Nip’s kids now own his Marathon clothing store. As such, he achieved the generational wealth he always wanted for his family. However, to seek true justice for his murder and to avoid further corruption, perhaps these rumors will result in a more thorough investigation into the LAPD’s handling of the case. Regardless, return to HNHH for the latest news and updates on Nipsey Hussle and his everlasting legacy.

Boosie Badazz Wants Nipsey Hussle’s Killer To Get Stabbed To Death By Crips In Jail

by

Boosie Badazz recently expressed that he wants Nipsey Hussle’s killer, Eric Holder, to get stabbed to death by crips while in jail. Of course, the harsh, morbid, and vengeful tweet came after the court sentenced Holder to 60 years for the murder. Moreover, authorities sentenced him after finding him guilty of first degree murder on Wednesday (February 22) for the 2019 killing. While many debated whether this sentence is enough, clearly the Louisiana rapper wants a more extreme price to pay. Furthermore, he took to Twitter to fire off the intense wish.

“JUST 60 years for killing Nip n he go get PAROLE N 20 lol,” Boosie wrote. “I hope some crips stab him to death n prison! MAKE NIP SMILE!” Though Boosie stated some disappointment, Hussle’s friend Cowboy spoke to TMZ about justice and grief in this case.  “60 years, that’ll hold him,” he shared. “It was definitely justice for Nipsey. It’s going to hurt forever. It’s going to be an open wound forever because we’re not going to get over Nipsey… He got all this time but it’s not going to bring Nipsey back.

Boosie Badazz Goes Off On Nipsey’s Killer

“I’m still grieving Nipsey,” he continued. “I could imagine how his mom, his dad, his brother – they were tight. I’m still hurt and I was just his friend.” On the other hand, many waited for a long time to learn the fate of Eric Holder. Moreover, the court delayed his sentencing for various reasons following his July 2022 grand jury conviction. Allegedly, Holder took issue with Nipsey accusing him of being a snitch, while he just tried to warn him about.

“Nipsey was like, ‘Man, you know, they got some paperwork on you, you know,” a witness told the grand jury in 2019. “‘I haven’t read it, you know. Like you my bro, you know. Like maybe you need to take care of that, you know.’” Holder also suffered a brutal prison attack during his two-week trial. With this new sentence in mind, animosity towards Holder will likely remain, but Nipsey’s memory and life can be celebrated more in peace now. Regardless, stick around on HNHH for the latest news on Nipsey Hussle and his enduring legacy.
