Nipsey Hussle’s passing remains a deeply emotional subject for hip-hop fans, as the respected emcee and entrepreneur was admired for his business savvy and meaningful music. Recently, his brother, Blacc Sam, participated in a rare and heartfelt interview where he discussed Hussle’s final moments, the challenges he faced in arranging the funeral, and his feelings about the loss.
In the interview, Blacc Sam revealed difficulties in securing a venue for Hussle’s funeral until LeBron James and Karen Civil intervened, helping them secure Crypto.com Arena (formerly Staples Center). This venue was closed off to accommodate friends, family, and fans honoring the beloved rapper from Crenshaw.
Reflecting on the circumstances surrounding his brother’s tragic murder, Blacc Sam expressed his belief that the act was premeditated and dismissed rumors of a prior disagreement between Hussle and Eric Holder, the man convicted of the shooting. He emphasized that certain protocols were not adhered to on that day, which may have contributed to the tragedy.
Fans responded emotionally to the interview, with one noting the palpable pain in Blacc Sam’s voice as he recounted the day of Hussle’s death and the guilt he felt for not being present. Another fan remarked on the revealing nature of the interview, suggesting that it highlighted the internal conflicts within Hussle’s circle.
