Petition to Rename Crenshaw and Slauson to 'Nipsey Hussle Blvd' Filed

The death of 33-year-old Grammy nominee Nipsey Hussle has left behind a legacy that is cemented within the hip-hop culture. Now, fans are asking that an intersection in his hometown be renamed in his honour.

A petition was filed on Change.org to rename Crenshaw Blvd and Slauson Avenue in the Hyde Park district of L.A. to Nipsey Hussle Blvd. The intersection is where The Marathon Clothing store is - the store he owns and where the tragic shooting took place. The petition calls for Councilman Marqueece Harris-Dawson to green light this project. 

Keep it on lock for more as we get it. The murder suspect has been arrested.
