Rumors are swirling that Los Angeles police officials knew rapper Nipsey Hussle would be assassinated a day before they planned to meet with him to discuss gang violence in the inner city.
Director Mimi Hendrix posted a collage of clips from her documentary film on Nipsey who worked to revitalize the low income neighborhood in the Crenshaw district.
In the video clip, Steve Soboroff, President of the Los Angeles Police Commission, is heard confirming that Police Chief Michel Moore called him 15 minutes after Nipsey was gunned down on Sunday, March 15.
Soboroff said he received a call from Chief Moore who informed him that the 33-year-old rapper had just been “assassinated”.
The use of the word “assassinated” by a top law enforcement official – who surely knows the definition of the word – is troublesome to Nipsey’s fans.
The word “assassinated” is typically associated with the ambush-style murder of an important figure – such as a president – for political reasons.
It’s rare that top police officials would describe the murder of a rapper as an assassination, unless they knew Nipsey was killed for political reasons.
At the time he spoke with the police chief – 15 minutes after Nipsey was shot – neither man could have known the identity of the killer.
Another troublesome factor is high-profile attorney Chris Darden represents the killer, Eric Holder. Darden is the former LA District Attorney who unsuccessfully tried the O.J. Simpson murder case.
Nipsey’s fans are wondering who is paying for Darden’s very hefty legal bills.
Looking back at the surveillance video of Nipsey’s murder, it’s clear that the killer wanted to make sure the rapper was dead. It was overkill.
Exactly what you would expect to see in a murder-for-hire hit.
He was high profile in the city… He was an important figure in his community.
It was a sneak attack and he was killed mercilessly… the killer made sure he was dead before leaving.
No more conspiracy theories needed.

I’m not into the theories and all that but something keeps nagging at me. I keep wondering if his newly released friend asked him to go get him some gear or if Nipsey volunteered to get him some gear. The setup was somewhere. They need to follow the trail.

The real conspiracy is the culture that breeds these emotionally disturbed men who glorify everything that’s wrong in life and can’t solve their problems without a gun. It’s easier to play semantics and blame others as if some allusive boogie man is out there holding black men down and forcing them to kill each other…SMH.

Great leaders are typically assassinated, MLK, Malcolm X, JFK,….. Nipsey was definitely making some power moves. There are too many ppl/agencies/governments that benefit from violence. Nipsey was trying to stop the violence, so of course, some powerful entities did not like that idea. Google Michael Ruppert. He was a former LAPD officer who had evidence that the CIA flooded the black community with drugs during the crack epidemic. He somehow killed himself by two gunshots to the head. How does one shoot themselves twice in the head?

I’m not sure about all the conspiracy theories (Dr. Sebi/government).

I too think someone had Nipsey murdered. Despite the fact that the killer has been apprehended, I still feel there is more to this. Even more so after reading Nipsey’s brother statements that the dude came up and shook Nip’s hand and told him he was a rapper and such. I haven’t heard anything more about Nipsey supposedly calling him a snitch. If the snitch part of the story line isn’t true, then what was the motive for killing him? It’s clear this boy wanted to ensure he was dead, so this wasn’t a crime of passion.
I also feel some type of way that the boys name is Eric Holder. That seems like a political trick or taunting.
Also, I read that the boy that killed Nipsey was from the hood, but disappeared for awhile. Where has he been in all this time?
There’s more to this story and I’m certain pretty soon he will come up dead in his jail cell and they will say he committed suicide.

There is a reason this OJ attorney is representing this boy. Someone is ensuring he doesn’t tell the wrong person the wrong thing. This Chris guy used to be a prosecutor, he’s tied in with all the key players. Whatever Eric Holder has to say about why he did this, Chris will be the one he’s telling.
This entire situation is just weird.
Bottom line is, nobody gets murdered for nothing. It’s not this easy to just die. By all accounts this was a unprovoked attacked. I’m not saying it’s a Dr. Sebi issue, but there is a reason for this.

Folks quick to “rush to judgement” before knowing all the facts. First it was ‘gang related’ then it was a just confrontational, now it an “assassination”. The only person who knows the reason and or the motive why Hussle was kilt is his killa. As for an assassination, the only thing they trynna assassinate is Hussle’s character, like he was still affiliated in some kinna gang activity. One thing I dew know is that nobody deserved tew be kilt and die in the manner in which Hussle did. It was evil, demonic and quite disturbing.

He was assassinated. It was a hit by the LAPD. He had a meeting scheduled with them to discuss gang violence and finding solutions. The person who executed the hit was a known police snitch and hadn’t been seen in years. This was a hit. He and his crew were cleaning up the streets uniting folks and the dirty cops were mad. He was also buying property in a hood they wanna gentrify. It’s deeper than that. And why would a common thug be “privately retained” by Darden.
