Nipsey’s music sales have reportedly increased 2,776 percent, Billboard reports. Before his passing, Nipsey secured masters to all of his music, making this increase in sales extremely beneficial to his family.
On Sunday, Nipsey’s songs and albums reportedly sold a combined 15,000 copies–a large increase compared to the 1,000 copies reported on Saturday. On their own, Nipsey’s songs collected 13,000 downloads and his albums sold nearly 2,000 copies.
Nipsey was gunned down Sunday afternoon at his Marathon clothing store on Slauson and Crenshaw. Many poured their tears out because Nipsey was a pioneer in his community and truly was a great example for a black man. When musicians make it big they forget where they cane from. Nipsey made it big and started to reinvest in community like creating employment opportunities with his businesses. He also started a stem center in Crenshaw called Vector 90 to give the youth in his community opportunities to explore entrepreneurship.
Nipsey touched many lives around the world and he will truly be missed. Our condolences go out to his family, friends, and every life he impacted.
