Argentina, South America – Kendrick Lamar has joined the laundry list people mourning the loss Nipsey Hussle. The fellow Los Angeles native held a moment silence for the slain rapper and community activist during his set at Lollapalooza Argentina 2019 over the weekend.
“Keep your lights up, y’all,” he says. “I need a favor. Before we got on this stage, we got wind that our brother, our warrior, our soldier, Nipsey Hussle passed away, so we want to take this time to truly give a moment silence, can we do that?”
He adds, “Repeat after me. We love you Nipsey!”
Nip was gunned down on Sunday (March 31) in front his Los Angeles clothing store, Marathon Clothing. He was reportedly shot at least six times before he was rushed to a local hospital where he later died.
Two other men were also shot and are currently in stable condition. So far, police haven’t arrested any suspects. The investigation is ongoing.
