\"We are to live in our highest vibrations today because that is how Nip lived his life. We should encourage and inspire today because that is how Hussle lived his life,\" she continued.

London added that Hussle, born Ermias Asghedom, \"wasn’t a sad soul\" and would want those who adored him to \"lift up,\" even in his absence.
