Nipsey Hussle‘s funeral was held at the Staples Center on Thursday morning in Los Angeles. The city showed up to pay respects and show their love for the Crenshaw and Slauson rapper who was tragically gunned down in front of his Marathon Clothing store last month.
The funeral saw appearances from rappers like Snoop Dogg and YG and performances from Stevie Wonder and Marsha Ambrosius. Following the funeral, there was a 25.5-mile long funeral procession that traveled through Inglewood, South LA and Watts.
A part of the service featured Ambrosius reading a letter from President Barack Obama, who was inspired by everything that Nipsey was doing for the community.
