During an August 9 interview with Big Boy on his new YouTube series Off Air, Nipsey Hussle’s brother, Blacc Sam, said protocol was not followed to ensure the rapper was safe on the day he was killed, XXL reported.
As previously reported by Face2Face Africa, Hussle, born Ermias Asghedom, was fatally shot outside his Marathon Clothing store in his South-Central Los Angeles neighborhood in March 2019.
Blacc Sam, whose real name is Sam Asghedom, told Big Boy he felt security did not do enough to protect his brother when he came to the store on the day Eric Holder Jr. fatally shot him and injured others.

“Somebody come to the shop, they know we in the doorway,” Sam said. “When Hussle pull up, we in the doorway. You’re gonna see me with a hoodie on and I got a pistol on me. You’re gonna see one of my team members in the hoodie in the doorway with a pistol. That’s protocol when Hussle pull up. So, it’s Sunday. It’s busy in there.”
“Why the ni**a in there didn’t follow the protocol? I wasn’t there,” he added. “Why they didn’t follow it? Maybe they was f**king around, helping a customer who was doing some f**king customer service. This is what I’m thinking, trying to transition into some legitimate, just selling clothes. But nobody was in the doorway.”
Sam also explained why he felt his brother’s murder was premeditated. “From my understanding old boy walked up with no shirt on first to check the scene ’cause he knows what’s going on in that parking lot,” he explained.
“He probably seen no one was in the doorway, Hussle had on shorts, checked everybody else, left. They say he came back with a red shirt on. Tip-toed through the alley, went right and started shooting.”
“To me, that’s premeditated. Number one, there’s no red shirt in the hood. You can’t buy no red shirt…when a ni**a come through an alley with the red shirt, that’s a throw-off, or the Bloods did it,” he added.
“I felt he was supposed to do a job or somebody sent him and he was nervous,” he continued. “He was supposed to hit that alley with that red shirt immediately. He didn’t do that.”
In February 2023, Holder was sentenced to 60 years to life in prison after he was found guilty of first-degree murder last July for fatally shooting Hussle, Face2Face Africa reported.
