scale with a proven, dynamic leader.”
The partnership will not only include a relaunch of Queen Bey’s entrusted Ivy Park brand and will focus on co-creation for both perform- ance and lifestyle products and materials.
The family of slain rapper Nipsey Hussle was search- ing for a venue to accommo- date the huge crowd expected to attend his memorial serv- ice. After reportedly rejecting several venues that only had a 2,000 seat capacity, Hus- sle’s memorial service will be held Thursday, April 11 at the Staples Center in Los Ange- les.
The 21,000 seat venue previously hosted Michael Jackson’s memorial in 2009.
The L.A. native leaves be- hind two children, a daughter from a previous relationship and a son with his actress girlfriend, Lauren London. Disturbing footage of the shooting hit the Internet im- mediately after the incident. The alleged gunman, 29- year-old Eric Holder, was apprehended two days after the killing and charged with one count of murder, two counts of attempted murder,

and one count of possession of a firearm by a felon.
It was reported that Hus- sle had gone to his clothing store without protection to give an acquaintance who had been released from jail some clothes.
Hussle was a community activist and self-made rapper who released several mix- tapes over his 10-plus year career—including one priced at $100 a pop—but didn’t drop his first studio album, Victory Lap, until 2018. That recording earned him a 2019 Grammy nod for Best Rap Album.

Cancels Rapper
For Hitting On Nipsey Hussle’s
Girlfriend, Radio Station
Despite Nipsey Hussle being shot to death only a few days ago, Kodak Black at- tempted to woo his girlfriend Lauren London.
Kodak Black called Lau- ren London a “hot widow” and would “allow” her a year to get over the death of the father of her child. The internet came for Kodak Black on Saturday and now the Florida rapper is apologizing for his comments that were deemed “insensi- tive.” Radio stations in Los An- geles and around the country have banned to play Kodak's music. T.I. has openly criti- cized Kodak on instagram.
Kodak Black was criti- cized savagely after he was shooting his shot with Lau- ren London with an ap- proach that was not exactly the sweet-as-honey. “Lauren London that’s baby, though. She about to be out here sin- gle,” Black said in a video. “She’s finna be a whole widow out here. I’ll be the best man I can be for her. I’ll give her a whole year. She might need a

whole year to be crying and sh*t for him.”
On Sunday, Kodak Black realized the error of his ways and gave an apology to Lau- ren London. However, the apology did not mention Nipsey Hussle by name and Kodack Black only refer- enced him as “dude.”
“If I disrespected you Lau- ren London, in any shape or form, I’m sorry, even though I didn’t,” Kodak said in an In- stagram Live video. “And rest in peace to dude. Y’all already know what I said. I said dude encouraged me to do (exple- tive) for the community. But, anyhow, my bad to them two.”
