13:11Now PlayingLos Angeles and the music world turned out today to honor Nipsey Hussle who was killed on March 31st.
The funeral, billed as a "celebration of life," was held at the Staples Center. More than 20,000 tickets for the event, which were free, were claimed within minutes of being made available online earlier this week.
The celebration of Nipsey's life began with a procession that went past the parking lot of the shopping center where Hussle was gunned down in front of his clothing store. The same parking lot where he started his music career selling CDs. The Funeral procession wound through the Crenshaw neighborhood on to the Staples Center where the famous and the just regular folk came to pay tribute.
