Following Nip’s funeral procession, there will be a 25-mile “victory lap” throughout the city Los Angeles that will bring him back to his old stomping grounds in South Central, where he will be laid to rest at a Crenshaw funeral home.
Tickets for his memorial were strictly made available to California residents for free but sold out in minutes. Some those who were able to obtain tickets attempted to make a prit by selling the free tickets on Craigslist and eBay for upwards to $500. Unfortunately for the scalpers, all tickets are non-transferable.
The Grammy Award-nominated rap star was pronounced dead on March 31 after being shot up to six times outside his Marathon clothing store. He was 33.
Watch Nipsey Hussle’s memorial TIDAL tomorrow at 10 a.m. here.
