    The articles are saying he’s pals with Isaiah Thomas and went to the Lakers games frequently.

    Shot in front of his store in the hood. Pretty terrible

    They both went to Audobon Middle School in LA (They are 4 years apart, so not sure if they attended at the same time) I recall his mother saying she moved James away to keep him out of trouble and into a better area, Im guessing this was once he was in high school.

    Nipsy was a Crip, but seemed like he distanced himself from gangs, and did a lot for his community, he receives a ton of respect from CP, Lebron, etc

    What led up to it is he was about to film a documentary about Dr. Sebi. The billion dollar pharmaceutical industry didn't think it was a good idea. That's all I will say.

    Anyone who doesnt take into consideration that he was killed because of the documentary is dumb af. Murders are staged so the rich can get organs they need off the black market. The government lies about why they go and terrorize other countries when they only do it for money and power. Facts. Dr. Sebi didn't just have the cure for aids, he knew the cause and cure for mostly all sickness and diseases, the truth about cancer etc. Anyone would be a fool to not believe someone could be killed (and have been) for something like this. Dr. Sebi was murdered. You think Nipsey wouldn't be killed for filming this movie? Basically saying no one really needs to go to the Dr. or take medication which does more harm than good. We're talking about a billion dollar pharmaceutical industry (and rich/powerful people who invest in the industry) that didn't take too kindly this movie being released.

    He didn't JUST have the cure for aids. "Unortunately" for him. And u obviously don't know what the **** ur talking about. I never said they'd be down to $0. People don't like losing money. Period. They don't have to be down to nothing. They don't want **** to be changed. And they want people to continue to rely on harmful drugs most dr.s get kickbacks for prescribing. Reply when you've done some research. What's unfortunate is there is another black man killed with ppl like you mentioning hes gang affiliated and this was bound to happen. Gtfoh with that bullshit.

    Sucks... About a year or two ago, I watched a few videos about him, his thoughts, him starting that store with his brother, and how he was trying to help people out there. He seemed like he really was trying to help that hood out. I didn’t know Harden, CP3, etc and him were tight until after the Rondo/CP3 incident.

    Awful situation. He was really doing great things for his community and had been working to bring up upcoming artists as well as others through his store and other ventures.

    I’m not going to bring in the conspiracy stuff here, but I hope that whoever took his life so soon is arrested. We’re losing too many good men, and Nipsey definitely was one of them.

    My thoughts are with Harden/CP3 and everyone else impacted by his loss.

    I just did and sources are clear that it was gang related. I hate to see this happen but to bring some mad conspiracies... Man just focus on where the problem really is instead of blaming it on conspiracies. I was a fan of Nippsey and it was in the middle of Crenshaw with shootouts happening in his store before. And believe me there is milions of scientists in the world and if there was cure for AIDS/cancer/whatever it would pop up anyway its not like all of these people of power are in the same fraction. If USA would hide it then China or Russia would be more than happy to reveal it
