In shocking news this morning, rapper Nipsey Hussle has been shot dead in front of his clothing store in Los Angeles.
As NBC News reports, the Grammy-nominated artist was shot reportedly six times, along with two other victims who are seriously injured. No suspect has been caught yet.
Hussle was only 33 and dropped his first and only album Victory Lap in February 2018, featuring scores of features with the likes of Kendrick Lamar, P Diddy, YG and many more.
The record had just been nominated for Best Rap Album at this year's Grammy Awards and just a month ago, he released Racks In The Middle featuring Roddy Ricch & Hit-Boy.
Many artists have already started tweeting their tributes and condolences to the rapper who is survived by a partner and two children.
Rest In Peace, Nipsey.
This doesn’t make any sense! My spirit is shaken by this! Dear God may His spirit Rest In Peace and May You grant divine comfort to all his loved ones!
