Barack Obama Pens Tribute Letter To Nipsey Hussle [PEEP]

Real BIG.

Former President of the United States Barack Obama paid tribute to Nipsey Hussle by writing a letter to the late, GREAT one. The letter was read by Karen Civil at his “Celebration of Life” memorial service today at the STAPLES Center.

Obama wrote:

Dear Friends and Family of Nipsey:
I’d never met Nipsey Hussle, but I’d heard some of his music through my daughters, and after his passing, I had the chance to learn more about his transformation and his community work.
While most folks look at the Crenshaw neighborhood where he grew up and see only gangs, bullets, and despair, Nipsey saw potential. He saw hope. He saw a community that, even through its flaws, taught him to always keep going. His choice to invest in that community rather than ignore it — to build a skills training center and a coworking space in Crenshaw; to lift up the Eritrean-American community; to set an example for young people to follow — is a legacy worth of celebration. I hope his memory inspires more good work in Crenshaw and communities like it.
Michelle and I send our sympathies to Lauren, Emani, Kross, and the entire Asghedom family and to all those who loved Nipsey.
Sincerely,
Barack Obama

The Intersection Of Slauson & Crenshaw Will Be Renamed After Nipsey Hussle [PEEP]

South Los Angeles is commemorating the late, great Nipsey Hussle by renaming the intersection of Slauson and Crenshaw after Neighbahood Nip.

Los Angeles City Councilmember Marqueece Harris-Dawson made the announcement today and confirmed the intersection of Crenshaw Boulevard and West Slauson Avenue will become Ermias “Nipsey Hussle” Asghedom Square.

There had been a petition started to spark the movement days after Nip passed after he was tragically shot. That petition accumulated almost half a million signatures with fans pushing for the name change to honor Nip who did so much for that community.

“Ermias Asghedom known as ‘Nipsey Hussle’ was an icon and West Coast hero,” said Councilmember Harris-Dawson said, per Los Angeles Sentinel. “Nipsey’s genuine nature allowed him to be a light to everyone he interacted with from family, friends, fans, and his larger community.  As a father, brother, and son, Nipsey was a rock helping to build an empire that will continue through generations. Nipsey will always be remembered for delivering a pure, authentic Los Angeles sound, his numerous philanthropic efforts, his innovative, community-focused business mindset, and his humble heart.”

Good way to honor a great.
