Fans and loved ones pay tribute to the late Nipsey Hussle on his 35th birthday

Written By Zaina Cummins

August 15, 1985, a legend was born. Ermias Joseph Asghedom, known professionally as Nipsey
Hussle, would have been celebrating his 35th birthday today.
Killed by the hands of a man who was and still is uncomfortable with his own reality, Nipsey
Hussle left this earth way too soon.

It has been 16 months since his death. He left behind friends, family, fans and most importantly;
he left behind his legacy.
His peers, close friends, collaborators in the hip-hop industry, family and his beautiful girlfriend,
Lauren London, also showed love as they remembered their late friend.
Lauren London posted the following on her Instagram today:
“King Ermias Best friend Twin Flame Greatest Teacher Beautiful Strong Vessel The Spiritual
Giant that walked Earth,” London described her beloved partner on Saturday. “‘I Miss You’ will
never be deep enough for the void left in my soul. Yet, I know you walk with me- always still.

Happy 35th Eternally Yours, Boogie.”
Snoop Dogg, west coast and Long Beach legend, also shared a photo of himself and Nipsey with
the caption,”Miss u loco 🏁🙏🏽😥,”
On Twitter, Rick Ross showed respect for Hussle in a series of tweets. “Perfect time to shine,” he
wrote, adding, “Marathon continues…” and finally posting the rapper’s name with a dove emoji
next to it.

Rapper YG also paid tribute to Hussle writing on Instagram, “Happy Cday Loc. Talk to me foo.
We miss you everyday.” He finished the caption with multiple red and blue hearts.
These were not even half of the birthday wishes and condolences shown today. Hundreds and
thousands of friends and fans all over the world showed respect to Hussle on his special day.
His passing has been hard on many people. He paved the way for a lot of young men just like
him while also getting people through tough times of their own.

Hussle wasn’t just a rapper. He was a motivator, a mentor, an entrepreneur, a friend, a father, an
uncle, a brother, a companion. Killed by the hands of a coward holding a gun.
It’s different when you do the things you rap/talk about and when you came up from nothing and
got it on your own. Nipsey was a perfect example of being a man of his word.

Hussle will be in history books. He considered himself “the Tupac of my generation,” and no one
disagreed with him. His music continues to uplift and empower.
Today, we celebrate the late Nip Hussle Tha Great. He is forever missed and will never be
forgotten. HustleTV we miss you Nipsey Hussle
