Report: Nipsey Hussle’s Family Searches For Large Funeral Venue
Nipsey Hussle’s family is reportedly searching for a large venue to house the slain rapper’s funeral.
Hussle’s relatives are looking at spaces that will accommodate upwards of 15,000 people, and they have passed on venues with 2,000 seats, reports TMZ.
The Victory Lap rapper’s family could be looking at hosting his funeral at the Staples Center, The Forum, or Hollywood Bowl.
Pop icon Michael Jackson’s funeral was held at the Staples Center in 2009.
Nipsey Hussle was fatally shot six times in the head and torso on Sunday (Mar. 31) outside of his apparel store Marathon Clothing in South Los Angeles.
Hussle is survived by his two children and fiance, actress Lauren London.
