Nipsey Hussle Ancestry: Was Nipsey Hussle Ethiopian? Was Nipsey Hussle Eritrean?

American rapper, Nipsey Hussle was an Eritrean. His father fled the war in Eritrea to settle in the United States in order to have a better life for himself and his children in the future. Before Nipsey’s death, he visited Eritrea two times. He first visited the country when he was 18 years old, and visited for the last time in April 2018.

During his recent visit before his death, he was accompanied by his father and brother Samiel, who met the Eritrean President, Isaiah Afewrki. They also met and sat with the Ministry of Information to conduct an interview about his life and growing up in a gang-related community.

“I am here to visit my family and reconnect with my grandmother, my cousins, and everybody else. I love to be here. The people, the food, the culture, and the lifestyle are extremely good,” he said during the interview.

Nipsey was shot and killed near his clothing store.
