Nipsey Hussle celebrated at 2020 Grammys by Meek Mill, YG, John Legend, Roddy Ricch and more
Why FKA twigs pole dances in Grammy-nominated ‘Cellophane’
Using DJ Khaled’s “Higher” as the backdrop , Legend led the chorus on piano, with Meek Mill taking a first pass before Compton rappers Roddy Ricch and YG and gospel crossover star Franklin joined in on verses. The range of performers — from tent-revival gospel to hard-edged rap to pop-aspiring soul — showed just how wide Nipsey’s influence stretched across black music in L.A. and beyond.
All-star sets can get messy at the Grammys, and this one had yet another close call after YG was arrested on Jan. 24 in connection to a robbery investigation . But this performance was as exultant and reverent as any Nipsey fan could have hoped for. Just after the performance, Hussle again took home a posthumous Grammy for rap/sung performance for “Higher,” which Khaled dedicated to the late MC’s family and children.
Staples Center may once again be surrounded by mourners, and the Grammys projected images of Kobe and Nipsey side by side at the end of their set. But in this performance, the city came together one more time to remember an artist whose impact and legacy is still unfolding across hip-hop and South L.A. today.
