Although The Game does not appear in the video, it’s clear that he is heavily distraught.
“I can’t even fucking sleep, man. I’m disgusted by this shit,” he said. “In his own city? In his own hood? In his own place of business?”

In the Instagram post, Nick Cannon said he will carry out Hussle’s wishes and “unfinished King business,” including the completion of a documentary that Hussle had been producing. The documentary focuses on the controversial Honduran herbalist and healer Dr. Sebi, who claimed to have discovered the cure for AIDS. People on social media floated theories that Hussle and Dr. Sebi’s deaths were connected.
“Now, Your message is my message! Your work is my work,” Cannon wrote on Instagram.
The New York Daily News reports that although an anonymous law enforcement source said the LAPD has a suspect in mind for Hussle’s death, the suspect was not in custody by Monday morning.
