Nipsey Hussle’s birthday is quickly approaching on Thursday, Aug. 15, and many fans are wanting to celebrate with a public birthday bash to honor the late rapper. However, his family is turning down many proposals, as they say his death is just too fresh in their minds.
The Racks In The Middle rapper was shot and killed in front of his Marathon Clothing store back in March, leaving many devastated. He is survived by his mother, children, long-time girlfriend, Lauren London, and many more.
There has been a lot of talk on how to celebrate what would be Hussle’s 34th birthday, and his family has been overwhelmed with suggestions on how to publicly celebrate, according to TMZ. The Los Angeles Police Department is even expecting mass amounts of people to gather in front of his Marathon Clothing store. They are said to have a heavy presence in front of the store that day. Additionally, fans will not be able to get close to the storefront because it is said that an extra set of barricades will be added to an existing fence.
However, a source from TMZ said that there will be no city-wide celebrations in LA despite fans’ pleas for one, as Hussle’s family is still devastated. Rather than a public event, his family will reportedly gather to remember their loved one privately. The family understandably feels that it is too soon for a big birthday bash, since it has only been a few months since his death.
While many would like to remember Hussle on his heavenly birthday, the family is still in mourning.
