Millions of people have taken to social media to express their profound grief over the loss of rapper Nipsey Hussle.
The Crenshaw native was brutally gunned down in front of his Marathon store on March 31st, 2019. Just days before his funeral, his mother, Angelique Smith, shared a beautiful message of peace for those grieving the untimely passing of her son.
“You see, students, don’t fear,” she said in a video. “When you live your life, and you have God on your side, when God dwells inside of you, there is no fear. Everything is in perfect order.”
Continuing, “Everything is in the divine perfect order of our creator. And we have perfect peace. I have perfect peace, and I have strength. And I want to lift you up. Please do not stay down. Do not stay stuck. Do not mourn because Nipsey is great.”
“He is the great,” she explained. “And now he’s even greater because he has no bounds and no limits; his energy is everywhere. He’s there with you now, and he’s here with me now. Please be encouraged. Death is not to be feared. Death is something to prepare yourself for. And when you walk this Earth, and you do good deeds for people, and you are loving and kind, those are the things that will show on your face. You will look more beautiful,” his mother decsribed. “Ermias looked healthy, he looked clean, he had a glow. He was radiant. And he was so perfect that he had a sweet aroma. He even smelled good.”
Concluding,”So please do not fear death. Death is just the beginning of a wonderful world. And I tell myself, Ermias liked thrilling things. And now my son knows the mystery, the secret rather, to the mystery of life.”
