Ab-Soul’s first encounter with Nipsey Hussle left an indelible mark on him. Recalling the moment, he couldn’t help but reenact it for others to experience.
On Thursday (August 15), DJ Hed shared a video capturing the excitement between him and Soulo as they reminisced about Nipsey on what would have been the late rapper’s 39th birthday.
In the video, Ab-Soul animatedly reenacted their first meeting, emphasizing how unforgettable it was. “I have to reenact this because I can’t make this shit up. I’m not over-exaggerating, I’m not embellishing. This how I met Nip,” he stated.
Backstage at a show, Ab-Soul and the Black Hippy crew encountered Nipsey when he was still just a hypeman. Despite his status, Nipsey approached them confidently, introducing himself by name to everyone.
Meanwhile, Nipsey Hussle’s brother, Blacc Sam, shared a rare insight into the tragic last moments of Nipsey’s life. In a candid conversation with Big Boy on his Off Air Series, Sam detailed his perspective on the events leading up to that fateful day.
Sam explained that usually, strict protocols were followed when Nipsey arrived, with team members positioned strategically for safety. Unfortunately, that day, they didn’t follow the usual procedures.
“Somebody should have been in the doorway,” Sam remarked, reflecting on the break in protocol. He theorized that Holder might have premeditated the attack. A shirtless individual was seen checking the scene before returning in a red shirt to execute the heinous act.
Blacc Sam voiced his conviction that it wasn’t a spontaneous decision, describing how the attacker navigated through an alley to carry out the plan. He believed the red shirt was intended to mislead, potentially pointing fingers at gang-related motives.
The recollections of both Ab-Soul and Blacc Sam paint a poignant picture, celebrating Nipsey Hussle’s impactful life while mourning his tragic demise. Ab-Soul’s vivid reenactment and Sam’s candid account provide fans an intimate glimpse into the charisma and legacy of the late rapper.
Nipsey Hussle’s legacy is cherished in these personal stories, reminding us of his impact and the void left by his passing. Ab-Soul’s reenactment and Blacc Sam’s reflections ensure that Nipsey’s memory lives on.
