LA rap artist and activist Ermias Asghedom, known professionally as Nipsey Hussle, was shot and killed three years ago on March 31, 2019.
According to Douglas, the artist was "always a reader, he was always a thinker ... You couldn't tell him to do something he didn't want to do." As a young man, Douglas had "seen where he was headed -- he was looking for acceptance," which he says often leads to gang involvement. On the anniversary of Nipsey's death, Douglas says what he wants to do is "have all gangbangers have a ceasefire." Ya know, Nip was the people's champ. He was like the underdog that made it," said Douglas. He gave us hope because he started from nothing.
