Nipsey Hussle’s brother, Blacc Sam, spoke about the late rapper’s death in a rare lengthy interview with Big Boy for his Off Air Series on Friday. In doing so, he reflected on the moments leading up to the shooting and his theory for what was going through the killer’s head. Police charged Eric Holder with the shooting and he was found guilty of first-degree murder and two counts of attempted voluntary manslaughter three years later. Holder is currently serving a 60-year prison sentence.
“Somebody come to the shop, they know we in the doorway,” Sam began. “When Hussle pull up, we in the doorway. You’re gonna see me with a hoodie on and I got a pistol on me. You’re gonna see one of my team members in the hoodie in the doorway with a pistol. That’s protocol when Hussle pull up. So, it’s Sunday. It’s busy in there. Why the n***a in there didn’t follow the protocol? I wasn’t there. Why they didn’t follow it? Maybe they was f*cking around, helping a customer who was doing some f*cking customer service. This is what I’m thinking, trying to transition into some legitimate, just selling clothes. But nobody was in the doorway.” From there, he walked through the steps of the killing and described it as premeditated.

Sam went on to theorize that wearing the red shirt was a “throw-off.” “I felt he was supposed to do a job or somebody sent him and he was nervous. He was supposed to hit that alley with that red shirt immediately. He didn’t do that,” he continued.
