“This doesn’t make any sense!” Rihanna, 31, tweeted, captioning a series of photos of Hussle — including one of he and his daughter on the red carpet at the 2019 GRAMMY Awards. “My spirit is shaken by this! Dear God may His spirit Rest In Peace and May You grant divine comfort to all his loved ones! 💔🙏🏿 I’m so sorry this happened to you @nipseyhussle.”

“I just spent Thursday with him filming a video for a beautiful new song we created with Khaled,” a shocked Legend, 40, wrote on Twitter. “We filmed in Inglewood, close to where he grew up. He was so gifted, so proud of his home, so invested in his community. Utterly stunned that he’s gone so soon.”

Said Drake, 32, on Instagram: “F—. My whole energy is just at a low right now hearing this. We just linked for the first time in years and said we were gonna do a new song this summer cause it had been too long.

I’m only doing this here cause I want the world to know I saw you as a man of respect and a don. Rest easy my g.”

In February, Victory Lap, which is both Hussle’s debut album and his last album to be released prior to his death — was nominated for best rap album at the Grammy Awards.

Although he did not walk away with the coveted award, following the ceremony, the rapper sent a warm congratulation to Cardi B, who did win.

“WHEN ITS YO TIME..ITS YO TIME!” he wrote alongside a screenshot of Cardi accepting the award. “Congrats to @iamcardib on Her Grammy for Best Rap Album & Also being Tha 1st female to Do it!🏁.”

The beloved rapper was not only known for his prolific lyrics, but also for his impact on his community.

As Hussle rose to fame, he kept his ties to his community strong and began focusing on helping make a meaningful impact on his neighborhood of Crenshaw.

In February, Hussle and business partner Dave Gross also spent “a couple million” to buy a strip mall near where he grew up, in order to help revitalize the neighborhood, according to Forbes. His clothing store, the Marathon Clothing, is one of the tenants of the property.

“Before we was renting here, I was hustling in this parking lot,” he told the outlet.

Within the next 18 months, the outlet reported that Hussle and his business partner planned to totally revamp the area, adding in a six-story residential building on top of the new commercial plaza. Additionally, a new train station was being built nearby.

The rapper went on to tell Forbes he planned to repeat the real estate venture in other cities across the country by teaming up “with local leaders.”

According to GQ, the rapper was also involved with a STEM program for inner-city kids.

Hussle leaves behind his longtime love Lauren London, whom he dated for five years. The couple, who recently opened up about their romance to GQ, shared 2½-year-old son Kross.

Hussle was also dad to daughter Emani from a previous relationship.
