The law has confirmed they were keeping tabs on his movements prior to his death. TMZ has confirmed that the LAPD had an open investigation on Nip’s crew and his retail location. According to the report the police were not eyeing the rapper specifically but all the alleged gang activity the Marathon Clothing store attracted. To make matters even more touchy one of the website’s inside sources claims the investigation is now causing an uproar as the department was once commending Nip for encouraging local gang members to keep the peace. Hussle was an admitted Rollin’ 60’s Crip. His family closed the store shortly after his untimely death but the wears are still available on the Marathon Clothing site . In June police confirmed the getaway driver in his murder was offered protection for her cooperation. — Photo: Danel Bailey

Nipsey Hussle and DJ Khaled’s “Higher” is one of the cuts to be included in Khaled’s upcoming album Father of Asahd which drops this Friday (May 17). Check out the post below.

The rest is here:

According to TMZ we won’t be seeing Soulja Boy anytime soon because he was just slapped with a hefty sentence for violating his probation!  The rapper appeared in court Tuesday where a judge sentenced him to 240 days in jail and 265 days of community service. Get Breaking News & Exclusive Contest in Your Inbox:    Close Thank you for subscribing! Please be sure to open and click your first newsletter so we can confirm your subscription. Email Submit Soulja was arrested earlier this month after failing to complete his court-ordered community service and trying to falsify evidence that it was completed.  Making things worse Soulja home was raided by cops in February after an investigation was opened by an ex-girlfriend that said the rapper helped her captive in his garage.  During the raid, officers found ammunition which is in violation for his prior violation fora weapons case dating back to 2014. RELATED STORY: Soulja Boy Locked Up For Violating Probation The judge ordered Soulja to serve his violation sentence immediately but knocked off 40 days as credit for time served.  So it looks we won’t be seeing him until sometime in January 2020 unless he gets off for good behavior.

Damn Skippy: Nipsey Hussle’s Friend Who Was Arrested After Being Shot Set To Be Freed Today

Posted on April 18, 2019 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Source: Chelsea Guglielmino / Getty Nipsey Hussle’s Friend Kerry Lathan To Be Released From Jail People were rightfully outraged when news broke that the Los Angeles District Attorney and the Dept. of Corrections had Nipsey Hussle’s friend Kerry Lathan arrested for violating his parole for associating with a gang member, Nipsey, after he was shot during the rapper’s murder. Kerry was the reason that Nipsey went to the Marathon store that fateful day as the rapper wanted to get his friend some fresh clothes so that he could see his family later that day. According to TMZ , Kerry is soon to be a free man this week, again. Lathan was transferred to Men’s Central Jail in downtown L.A. but the Dept. of Corrections has inexplicably chosen to withdraw their petition to have his parole revoked. Our guess is that they didn’t want no smoke with the public. It clearly wasn’t because IT’S THE RIGHT F***ING THING TO DO or else they never would have arrested him in the first damn place. It is said that Lather will be released today. View this post on Instagram He will be home soon!! Thank you to everyone for all your support. A post shared by Lauren Noriega (@nori_thenightmare) on Apr 18, 2019 at 11:21am PDT A lawyer on Instagram who sought out Kerry’s family to represent him posted the above message earlier today.
