Nipsey Hussle had a meeting scheduled with LAPD for Monday, unfortunately a day after the rappers untimely death. The meeting was arranged to discuss the preventing gang violence and it will still go on in his honor.
Law enforcement sources say that the Roc Nation honcho Jay Brown had a conversation with LAPD on behalf of Nipsey. The goal is to set up a face-to-face sit down between the rapper and at least a couple high-ranking police officials.
Roc Nation tweeted “Our hearts are heavy over the loss of our brother, Nipsey Hussle. Rest In Peace. Our thoughts, love and prayers to his family and friends.”
In response, Steve Soboroff tweeted; “We (@LAPDChiefMoore and I ) were meeting , at the request of @NipseyHussle with him and @rocnation tomorrow at 4pm to talk about ways he could help stop gang violence and help us help kids. I’m so very sad”
Three months ago Jay had reached out to L.A. Police Commissioner Steve Soboroff in efforts to coordinate the summit. Nipsey’s intention was to bring light to the gang violence going on and ways to prevent it in L.A. With the main focus on his own Crenshaw District neighborhood.
Soboroff revealed not too long after Nipsey was gunned down at his clothing store that the meeting was indeed supposed to take place Monday afternoon. LAPD Police Chief Michel Moore with Soboroff were going to be representing LAPD.
Despite the rappers untimely murder the meeting will still go on as originally scheduled per Jay’s request. He insisted that the meeting moves forward to honor Nipsey’s wishes. Sources say that Jay may just fill in for Nipsey. The meeting actually could have happened days ago. The police commissioner spoke on how he regretted not holding the meeting earlier.
He says, “The sadness that I feel — I wish we could have had the meeting on Friday. I think he would have been excited about all the possibilities, and I know we were.”
Game amongst a lot of others are taking Nipseys death pretty hard. The Game was reflecting his friends death early this morning. The rapper had posted a few videos of himself driving in the wee hours Monday morning around 4 AM. The rapper does not show his face but you can clearly hear the distress in his voice.
He expresses how dumbfounded he is by the fact Nipsey not only murdered at his own place of business but in his own neighborhood in the Crenshaw District. The rapper goes on to say how much good his friend was doing for the area and that is what disgusts him the most.
Game sums up by saying, “LA on some bulls***, on me”. Very similar to Jay Zs reflection on XXXTentacion murder last year.
