<p>Happy Birthday Nip! It&#8217;s an honor to receive a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, but to do so on ones birthday takes the cake. Nipsey Hussle&#8217;s star was unveiled on Monday morning and his beloved peers gathered in his honor.</p>
<p>Lauren London, Nip&#8217;s partner and mother of his son, took the podium and shared some inspirational words about the impact Nipsey had on his community before his tragic passing.</p>
<blockquote><p>I wanna first start by saying Happy Birthday Hussle. And to the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce, thank you for acknowledging a visionary. I think I speak for the entire city of L.A. when I say we&#8217;ve always known Hussle was destined for greatness. This moment only amplifies that for us.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>Nipsey Hussle was a father, a partner, a brother, a son, a rapper, and an influential figure throughout his community. The legacy he left behind is one of perseverance and self-work, which fans remember with the phrase, &#8220;The Marathon Continues.&#8221;</p>

<blockquote><p>Nip would&#8217;ve been honored by this moment. I think he would want everyone to remember that you can&#8217;t get to what&#8217;s possible unless you commit to moving forward. That doesn&#8217;t mean forgetting where you come from but it requires acknowledging the reality you were born into and the power you have to change that reality for the better.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>Many of Nipsey&#8217;s peers were in attendance at the ceremony including YG, Roddy Ricch, and Russell Westbrook. The late rapper&#8217;s family was in attendance as well.</p>

<blockquote><p>So whenever you&#8217;re in the city of angels and you see this star, I hope it encourages you to break away from whatever might be holding you back and to run your marathon until God says that it&#8217;s finished.</p></blockquote>
