Tekashi 6ix9ine is honoring late legend, Nipsey Hussle. While on a trip to Los Angeles this week, the “PUNANI” rapper visited Nipsey Hussle’s mural. Tekashi shared footage of himself standing in front of a portrait of the late West Coast icon and praying while waving to someone off-camera as Nipsey’s song “Last Time That I Checc’d” played.
6ix9ine had revealed that he initially wants to visit Nipsey’s Marathon Clothing store, but since it was close he had to find a nearby mural at a Fatburger drive-thru on Crenshaw Blvd.
“REST IN PEACE NISPEY ! I KNOW YOU LOOKING DOWN ON ME IM OUT HERE IN THE HOOD PAYING MY RESPECT,” he captioned the video. “P.S THE STORE WAS CLOSED BUT THEY PAINTED THIS ON THE SAME BLOCK.”

Meanwhile, Tekashi 6ix9ine’s appearance has sparked controversy as he cooperated with feds and snitched on several of his associates, something Nipsey Hussle didn’t take lightly. Even Nipsey’s alleged shooter Eric Holder has also been accused of being a snitch.
“Total disrespect he died because he told a snitch get from round him,” one fan commented, before another added, “Bro Nipsey Turing in his grave rn.”

Before his death, Nipsey Hussle addressed 6ix9ine on “Rich Ni**a Lifestyle” off Rick Ross’ album Port of Miami 2. “When it’s war time never lay low / Y’all play roles / Can’t name a fake ni**a that was not exposed,” Nipsey raps. “How y’all ni**as so surprised that Tekashi told? / Ain’t a real street ni**a ‘less you got a code.”
Hussle also talked about 6ix9ine during an interview with Big Boy on REAL 92.3. “The public should not even react to clown s**t,” Nipsey said. “The public should follow the real ni**as. The real ni**as ain’t reacting, so y’all don’t react. Put the dude on goofy time and just let him sit over here and do what he doing till that shit expire, ’cause it always gonna self-destruct, clearly.”
This Saturday, August 15, would have marked Nipsey’s 35th birthday.
Keep Resting In Power Nipsey Hussle!
