As days pass, those closest to Nipsey Hussle are breaking their silence after the devastating murder of the Crenshaw rapper. A day after Nipsey’s girlfriend Lauren London spoke for the first-time following his death, YG opened his heart to reflect on his close friend. YG, who collaborated regularly with the 33-year-old on records like “F**ck Donald Trump” and “Last Time I Checc’d,” appeared a vigil for the rapper/entrepreneur in Los Angeles earlier this week.

“Lost for words kuz i got so many of em. We went thru so much shit together tryna make it out of LA with this rap shit, But we always got thru it then talked about it & after we talked. We laughed! You was a real big bro to me no kap. YOU 1 OF A KIND!,” said YG. The Compton star would go on to speak on their America’s Most Wanted collaborative album coming out one day, and more. “THE WORLD DIDNT KNOW WHAT THEY HAD TILL YOU WAS GONE. I BEEN KNEW! @nipseyhussle.”
29-year-old Eric Holder has been arrested after a 2-day manhunt, identified by police as Nipsey’s alleged killer. Sources close to Nipsey tell TMZ that the rapper was at his Marathon clothing store on Sunday (Mar. 31) to pickup some new clothes for a friend who was just released from prison after serving a 20-year sentence. Nipsey wanted to hook his friend up with clean clothing before meeting his own family and friends later that day.
A spur of the moment move, Nipsey did not inform his security team or his camp that he was heading to the store. On Wednesday morning (Apr. 3), Holder’s bail was set at $7,040,000. Law enforcement sources tell TMZ that the alleged shooter is being held in solitary confinement and not allowed to mingle with the general population, because he’s a target. Holder will remain in solitary once he’s transferred to L.A. County Jail while awaiting trial.
