Nipsey Hussle receives posthumous Hollywood Walk of Fame star: 'He lives forever'
Nipsey Hussle's legacy is being cemented in Hollywood.
The late rapper received a posthumous Hollywood Walk of Fame star Monday, with emotional tributes from his longtime partner Lauren London, his family and local officials.
Hussle was shot dead at 33 years old in the parking lot of his Los Angeles clothing store, The Marathon Clothing, on March 31, 2019. Jurors found Eric R. Holder guilty of first-degree murder in July.
London, who shares 5-year-old son Kross with Hussle, spoke at the event, thanking the Chamber of Commerce for "honoring a visionary."
"I think I speak for the entire city of L.A. when I say that we've always known Hussle was destined for greatness, this moment only amplifies that for us," London said, taking a deep breath before continuing. "Nip would have been honored by this moment. I think he would want everyone to remember that you can't get to what's possible unless you commit to moving forward."
Another celeb got his own star as well.
"Saturday Night Live" cast member Kenan Thompson's Hollywood star was so bright he brought his shades along.
