It's been nearly a year since the late Nipsey Hussle was gunned down in front of his clothing store, Marathon Clothing, in South LA.
Since his untimely death, many members of the entertainment industry — specifically the hip-hop community — have continued to find ways to keep his memory alive and ensure his legacy lives on forever.
And they did just that at the 62nd Annual Grammy Awards last night. DJ Khaled, John Legend, Meek Mill, YG, Roddy Ricch, and Kirk Franklin took to the stage for a powerful tribute in Nispey's honor.
Meek Mill and Roddy Ricch kicked it off with a performance of their song, "Letter to Nipsey."
They sang lyrics like, "I remember I bawled out in tears when I saw your body / And the flight back home, had cold days in LA."
Then DJ Khaled and John Legend delivered a special rendition of their song "Higher," which featured Nispey. There wasn't a dry eye in the room, especially when the full choir and Kirk Franklin joined them.
To close out the tribute, YG, a fellow LA native and close friend of Nipsey, delivered the final verse.
The high-energy performances ended beautifully, as images of Nipsey Hussle and Kobe Bryant appeared on the screen behind them.
Later that night, DJ Khaled, John Legend, and Nipsey won the Best Rap/Sung Performance Grammy for their song "Higher." They brought Nipsey's partner, Lauren London, and the rest of Nispey's family on stage to accept the award.
Nispey also won for Best Rap Performance for "Racks in the Middle," featuring Roddy Ricch and Hit-Boy.
This moment will definitely go down in Grammy history.
