“I will be heading to the House Floor next week to formally enter Nipsey Hussle’s contributions to South Los Angeles into the Congressional Record where it will be a part United States history forever,” Bass wrote on Twitter.
Karen Bass represents Nipsey’s district. She spoke to ABC News and said that he’s someone that’ll forever be remembered in his community as not only an entrepreneur but also as “someone who selflessly gave back and invested and enriched and cared.”
“Nipsey was a proponent community development at the real estate and intellectual level,” the congresswoman said. “In real estate, he was all about empowerment, specifically when it came to the economic opportunity in South LA – being a part the opportunity by becoming a real estate owner himself and immediately using the stores he opened as opportunities for employment for the community.”
After Nip’s death, the LAPD commissioner revealed on Twitter that the rapper and representatives from Roc Nation were going to meet with the police force to discuss ways to end gang violence.
