So Many Celebs Are Honoring Nipsey Hussle After The Grammy Nominee’s Tragic Death

On Sunday, March 31, fans were shocked when news broke that rapper Nipsey Hussle had died at age 33. According to the Los Angeles Times, police confirmed that Hussle was shot outside of his Marathon Clothing store around 3:20 p.m., and he was rushed to the hospital, where he was pronounced dead. Two others were reportedly injured in the gunfire, and it seems the shooting suspect still has not been arrested. And although it hasn't been long since word of Hussle's death has spread, celebrities and his fellow musicians have already come forward to share how much he meant to them.

It makes sense that Hussle made a mark on so many people; although he was only 33, he was already an accomplished rapper. His debut studio album, Victory Lap, earned him a Grammy nomination for Best Rap Album this year, and he was known for his work helping underserved communities. Last year, Hussle opened Vector 90, a STEM center for families and children's organizations that will help them get interested in science and math. And on Sunday night, Los Angeles police commissioner Steve Soboroff tweeted that he and police chief Michel Moore had planned to meet with Hussle on Monday to talk about how they could work together to stop gang violence and help children.

It's already clear that Hussle will be missed, because so many celebrities are sharing tributes to the late rapper that show what an impact he made on them and on music.
