Nipsey Hussle Receives Star On Hollywood Walk Of Fame

On what would have been his 37th birthday, Nipsey Hussle received a posthumous star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Fans gathered on Hollywood Blvd. for the presentation, which kicked off with an impromptu rendition of “Happy Birthday.”

Family members shared touching tributes to the rapper, entrepreneur, and philanthropist, while Nipsey’s peers including YG, Roddy Ricch, Russell Westbrook, and Saweetie were also in attendance.

Dressed in all white, Lauren London was first to speak.

“I want to first start by saying happy birthday Hussle,” London said. “I think I speak for the entire city of L.A. when I say that we’ve always known Hussle was destined for greatness. This moment only amplifies that for us.”

“Nip would have been honored by this moment,” she continued. “Whenever you’re in the City of Angels and you see this star, I hope it encourages you to break away from whatever might be holding you back and for you to run your marathon until God says it’s finished.”

In honor of Nipsey’s legacy, August 15th was also declared Nipsey Hussle Day in the city of L.A.
