We are in sad times when individuals would take to the internet to spread outlandish and reckless lies on people but especially when those lies involves that of a deceased member of the hip hop community when that person can clearly not defend himself. Recently, Cash Jones who is famously known as Wack 100 was on a Clubhouse chat where he insinuated that there was a video showing that the late rapper Nipsey Hussle was playing for both teams or was gay. He also claimed to have received the video several years ago where it showed the late rapper in a compromising situation. Around 2019 after Nipsey died I was contacted by an individual looking to sell a video of him in which they said it would break the internet but it would cost. Will we would never run any type of porn on our platform I wanted to see if there was in fact a tape out there and why would someone want to harm this man’s legacy by releasing something like this.
At this point I asked the individual to send proof that they in fact had a video and within the hour the proof was received. I told the individual that we were not interested in purchasing it and that they should just destroy the footage because it could be very dangerous for them had it ever got out that they were trying to sell it.
I thought it was very odd to hear Wack 100 make such a claim about someone who meant a lot to so many people around the world and I knew from my own eyes that nothing in that video could ever be perceived as gay.
Why put out such a narrative like that? It is reckless and irresponsible and no one should ever condone such behavior.
