In 2017, Hussle opened the Marathon Clothing store, which he co-founded with partners Carless, Karen Civil, the agency’s president, and his brother Samiel Asghedom, as well as a co-working space dubbed “Vector 90.” Hussle was fatally murdered outside his business in South Los Angeles on March 31, 2019. On April 2, 2019, Eric Holder, a 29-year-old man who had challenged Hussle earlier in the day, was arrested and charged with murder.

Was Nipsey Hussle Ethiopian?

Nipsey Hussle has Ethiopian ancestors. Nipsey Hussle was born in America to an Eritrean father who fled his nation owing to political instability in the 1970s.
Hussle, born Ermias Asghedom, drew the attention of rap fans from Ethiopia and Eritrea for his embracing of his father’s Eritrean background before his 2018 debut album “Victory Lap” received a Grammy nomination for Best Rap Album.
Eritrea was a province of Ethiopia until 1993, when it voted for independence following a decades-long campaign for freedom, although the two nations remain culturally and familially linked.
Tezeta Solomon, an Ethiopian residing in Los Angeles who attended the Addis Ababa tribute, said, “It’s just incredibly awful what happened.”
