Was Nipsey Hussle a crip or blood?

American rapper, Nipsey Hussle was said to have been affiliated with a gang. According to sources, he advocated for unity despite his own allegiance with the Rollin’ 60s Crips and advised that they put their differences aside.

After his death, his rival gang, Bloods, reunited briefly to pay respect. Crips and Bloods are considered the biggest and most notorious rival gangs in Los Angeles. They have committed numerous crimes over the years.

“The tally of gang-related homicides, mainly by Crips and Bloods, in Los Angeles County broke a record in 1992, reaching 800 for the first time, according to a preliminary count by law enforcement officials. The record has been climbing since. It marked the fifth consecutive year of record killing in the county, which had seen the annual gang-related death roll rise from 452 to 559  to 690 to 771,” reports said.

One of the community leaders named Big U shared that the gangs had to come together to pay respect to Nipsey after his untimely death.

“It’s in honor of Nipsey. There’s a lot of people who said they wanted to get together and come to a vigil and pay respect because Nipsey was the first real LA artist that was from LA,” he said.
