It’s been three days since Nipsey Hussle was shot and killed and this huge loss is still affecting many of us in the hip-hop community tremendously. His suspected killer, Eric Holder, was caught in Los Angeles yesterday by LAPD. He is now in solitary confinement and his bond is set at $7 million. One artist in particular who is still feeling the effects od Nipsey’s passing was his close friend, rapper and fellow Los Angeles native, YG.

YG took to Instagram today to finally vent about Nipsey’s passing. He stayed off of social media for the last few days to grieve in peace. He said it took to long to post about Nipsey because he can’t believe this murder happened and he still won’t accept it.

The 400 rapper also reminisced on the memories of the two grinding hard in LA to make it in rap. YG revealed that they also had so many projects on the way such as a collab album titled “2 of Amerikkkaz Most Wanted” and TV shows being written.

“Lost for words kuz i got so many of em 😢💙😔.We went thru so much shit together tryna make it out of LA with this rap shit, But we always got thru it then talked about it & after we talked. We laughed! You was a real big bro to me no kap. YOU 1 OF A KIND!
I took so long to post you kuz I Kant believe this shit, I don’t wanna believe this shit. I’m not never accepting it. IDGAF what nobody say. It wasn’t yo time to go.”

YG also vouched for Nipsey’s work ethic. Many of their projects wouldn’t get done because they had different recording processes, such as Nipsey wanting to record early in the morning. YG said the world didn’t know what they had until Nipsey was gone but he knew a while ago.

In a second post, YG offered his condolences to Lauren London and the rest of Nipsey’s family. He labeled Nipsey as a “verified real n*gga, young father, son, husband, brother, friend, CEO, and business owner.” Nipsey was definitely all of those titles and made a huge impact in Los Angeles, the people around him, and the world in general. Long live a west coast legend.
