Grammy-nominated rapper Nipsey Hussle killed in LA shooting

Grammy-nominated rapper Nipsey Hussle reportedly was killed in a shooting outside his Los Angeles clothing store Sunday.

Sources told NBC News that two other people were shot as well, but survived.

Hussle, 33, had sent out an ominous tweet just hours earlier, saying: “Having strong enemies is a blessing.”

“How ironic is this man,” wrote one Twitter user in response.

Hussle, an LA native, was nominated for Best Rap Album at this year’s Grammy Awards for his debut studio album, “Victory Lap.” His clothing store is located in the 3400 block of Slauson Avenue in Hyde Park.

Police officials said the shooting happened around 3:20 p.m. local time. The gunman was still at large Sunday night.

“We have no suspect info at this time and will provide more details as they become available,” the LAPD tweeted.
