During last night’s BET Awards Nipsey Hussle was given his just due in the form of the 2019 Humanitarian award for his efforts throughout the community (See below for his family’s acceptance speeches).
Nipsey was a well-known philanthropist with a belief in black ownership, especially where it mattered most, in your own neighborhood. His humanitarian efforts haven’t gone unnoticed and are rightfully praised even in the wake of his unfortunate demise.
Hussle’s efforts included hiring convicted felons at the district on Crenshaw where he owned a slew of shops, putting a Co-working facility Vector90, in the inner city to allow kids from the surrounding area to nurture their interests in STEM and entrepreneurship, and so much more.
Undoubtedly, he’s missed by the hip-hop community & throughout the world. Until next time big homie.
