The late Nipsey Hussle was honored with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame on what would've been his 37th birthday.
Nip received the 2,729th star during a ceremony on Monday (August 15th) where he was honored by longtime girlfriend and mother of his child, actress Lauren London.
London said, “I think he would want everyone to remember that you can’t get to what’s possible unless you commit to moving forward. That doesn’t mean forgetting where you come from but it requires acknowledging the reality you were born into and the power you have to change that reality for the better. So whenever you’re in the City of Angels and you see this star, I hope it encourages you to break away from whatever might be holding you back and for you to run your marathon until God says that it’s finished.”
Roddy Ricch, YG, NBA stars Russell Westbrook and Isaiah Thomas were in attendance as well, along with several others.
August 15th is also officially declared Nipsey Hussle Day in the City of Los Angeles.
Nipsey was shot and killed outside of his Marathon Clothing store in March of 2019.
