00:09Hey guys, it's Ali for Hollywood Life with some tragic news as 33-year-old rapper Nipsey Hussle

00:21of his clothing company, Marathon Store, when he and two others were attacked. There's also

00:32the hospital where he was later pronounced dead. For those unaware, Nipsey has ties to the crypts
00:37and law enforcement believe his attack was gang related. However, some are skeptical, which we

00:47is a blessing. While he's been involved with violence on various occasions, he's also worked
00:52hard to improve safety in his community. Nipsey tried to lower gang violence in Crenshaw, created
00:57an art initiative, Destination Crenshaw, and even launched a STEM learning center. He also revealed
01:02that he was working on a documentary on Dr. Sebi and the conspiracy that the government killed him
01:08after he claimed to have a cure for AIDS. Many fans and locals of Crenshaw believe this project may
01:14have been one of the reasons that Nipsey was attacked. Allegedly, a video has resurfaced that shows
01:20Nipsey worried about his own safety while working on the project. Another video also shows someone
01:25who claims to be the shooter on Instagram Live, who says he committed the violent act
01:29in front of Nipsey's daughter. Many artists are reacting to the news, like J. Cole, who tweeted,
01:34Nipsey, you're a legend. I respect and admire your career path and what you did for the neighborhood.
01:39My heart broke today when I saw the news. I'm praying for your loved ones. This was supposed to
01:44be the year we got one in. God had bigger plans for you. Rihanna reacted on Twitter, saying,
01:49this doesn't make any sense. My spirit is shaken by this. Dear God, may his spirit rest in peace
01:54and may you grant divine comfort to all of his loved ones. I'm so sorry this happened to you.
01:59Drake also paid tribute on Instagram, saying, my whole energy is just at a low right now hearing
02:04this. We just linked for the first time in years and said we were going to do a new song this summer
02:09because it had been too long. You were having the best run and I was so happy watching from distance,
02:14fam. Nobody ever talks down here on your name. You were a real one to your people and to the
02:19rest of us. I'm only doing this here because I want the world to know I saw you as a man of
02:23respect and a Don. Rest easy, my G. Nipsey is survived by his two children and longtime girlfriend,
02:29Lauren London. Make sure to follow us for the latest updates on the ongoing investigation
