Nipsey Hussle's final music video ‘Higher' featuring DJ Khaled drops six weeks after the rapper was gunned down in LA

NIPSEY Hussle’s final performance on camera has been released six weeks after he was shot and killed in broad daylight.

The video for DJ Khaled’s new release Higher dropped yesterday and features the late-rapper and John Legend.

Directed by Eif Rivera, the short film was shot days before Hussle was gunned down in Los Angeles and is believed to be his last performance on camera.

The video pays tribute to the slain musician at the start and ends with the credit: “Rest in Paradise Ermias ‘Nipsey Hussle’ Asghedom.”

Hussle appears in the upbeat clip wearing blue while Legend is shown playing a grand piano.

The pair also join DJ Khaled for a rooftop jam in the LA-shot video.

Higher features on Khaled’s new album Father of Asahd which was also released yesterday.

On March 31, Grammy-nominated Nipsey, 33, was shot three times in the head and chest by a gunman who delivered a final kick to the lifeless rapper before fleeing to a waiting car driven by a female accomplice.

The deadly shooting took place outside the rapper's own Marathon clothing store in Los Angeles in broad daylight.

Hussle – linked to the notorious Crips street gang – had posed for a photo with a young fan at the same spot shortly before he was murdered.
