The Game Pays Tribute to Nipsey Hussle With New Tattoo

Nipsey Hussle’s memorial service in Los Angeles on Thursday is bringing together countless members of the hip-hop community wanting to pay their respects to the rapper and philanthropist. Ahead of the widely-attended event, some of Nipsey’s closest friends and collaborators have honored his memory by offering love and condolences on social media and postponing new music releases out of respect for the West Coast rapper. 

The Game decided to pay tribute by getting a portrait of the late rapper’s face tattooed on his chest with “Crenshaw” written below. The fellow Compton native also got “Prolific” spelled out on the side of his face, both of which he shared on Instagram Stories Wednesday.
