Nipsey Hussle non-dominant hand portrait.

Ermias Joseph Asghedom (August 15, 1985 – March 31, 2019), also known as Nipsey Hussle, was an Eritreann American rapper, activist, and entrepreneur. A leader to many in the gang organizations in the Compton west coast area bringing together bloods and crips to unify the Black impoverished communities. He taught things like self wealth and self ownership. Was also one of the first rappers to own his masters teaching the youth steps of financial empowerment. He was later gunned down in a messy situation with local hater ex gang affiliate / FBI cooperative, who later came out and claimed he was offered 75k to kill Nipsey Hussle.

A tragic end to a prophetic leader in the Black Community.
