LOS ANGELES — On Monday morning, a plane circled above Hollywood Boulevard trailing a banner that wished a happy birthday to Nipsey Hussle.
Below, a huge crowd of fans, artists and family members took over the fabled Los Angeles street to celebrate the late rapper receiving a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame on what would have been his 37th birthday.
Tributes to Hussle, who died in 2019, were scattered across Hollywood Boulevard, from custom blue Lakers jerseys sporting the number 60 and "Hussle" to larger-than-life paintings available for sale. Even the refreshments were reflective of Hussle's brand and motto, as a man weaved his way through the crowd selling "Marathon waters" — aka your standard bottles of Aquafina.
