Nipsey Hussle's Last FOX 11 Interview Before His Death

Nipsey Hussle joined me on "Good Day L.A." on November 15, 2018 to promote his album, clothing, and community work.
My colleague at the time, Leah Uko, had just done a profile of his efforts to transform his neighborhood.
Little did we know at the time that he'd be dead just a few months later...killed by Eric Holder on March 31, 2019.
Hussle's legacy of community work lives on...as the Marathon continues.
It was an honor to conduct this interview on FOX 11 Los Angeles.

Man, they both much so much to me. God keeps them alive although they are not on earth. Legacy lives forever.

[@ronharris3411]

As a kid I literally idolized Kobe because he was so relatable to me, thus influential, and I didn't know better. Then I as a young man Nipsey was the last person I considered myself a true fan of for much of the same reasons, but I grew out of fanatics years before their deaths. Both of them passing brought up so much frustration and humility because of the rush nostalgia. I grew up and looked up to them at one point, was/am still inspired by their dedication and growth.

[@TheNamronTV]

Imagine being on the plane watching nipsey walk down the aisle and locks eyes with you and greets you like you know each other and says what up my Nigga in front of everyone then sits in the aisle over next to you.
