Lauren London and Snoop Dogg honour Nipsey Hussle at public service (via Channel24Music )
Anthony Hamilton invoked the spirit of a church service as he performed in Hussle's honour. Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan hailed Hussle's ability to bring different factions together. And blogger and media figure Karen Civil read a letter sent by former U.S. President Barack Obama.
At the memorial, Father Thomas Uwal read a scripture in Tigrinya — the native language in Eritrea, the African country where Hussle's father was from. Father Uwal spoke of Hussle being a"proud to be an Eritrean-American," later saying to the late rapper's family:"On behalf of all Eritreans ... we say our condolences to you."
"I've never cried myself to sleep over any public figure before, but Nipsey's presence meant so much for our community," actress Issa Rae said in her message inside the book.
