Nip Was Really Doing Big Things…
According to writer Sonya Magett, Nipsey Hussle was helping the community in ways people didn’t even realize. Via an excerpt from a Root publication, she reportedly mentions as follows:
“Among Hussle’s many notable accomplishments: the February purchase of the shopping plaza in his South Central neighborhood where his Marathon Clothing store is located; his support of Destination Crenshaw, a new arts project, open-air museum and outdoor art and culture center celebrating black Los Angeles.”
“Hussle donated shoes to and funded the renovation of a Crenshaw elementary school’s playground and basketball courts,” the writer continues concerning Nipsey’s accomplishments and goals. “He launched Too Big To Fail as part of a partnership with Vector90 which led to the opening of a coworking space for a STEM initiative for local youth. There were plans in the works to duplicate the program in Atlanta, Baltimore, and Chicago. He also owned several other businesses and real estate.”
Nipsey Hussle was only 33 years of age.
Reportedly, the 19th Annual BET Awards will be held at The Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles, Sunday, June 23, 2019 at 8 p.m. ET.
