Grammy-nominated rapper and activist, Nipsey Hussle's sudden death has brought social media platforms to flood people's feeds with conspiracy theories immediately upon being pronounced dead. In the last two days I've read numerous posts from people who knew him and I have noticed a consistency — they all agree that Nipsey Hussle was a man of the highest caliber, who supported up and comers, who inspired new generations, who loved genuinely and who wanted nothing more than to become a better man for himself, his family and his community.

Nipsey Hussle , the Los Angeles rapper who earned a Grammy nomination for Best Rap Album earlier this year, was shot and killed in L.A. on Sunday, according to NBC , citing multiple law enforcement sources.
