Nipsey Hussle's family and friends gathered Friday for a private funeral on a day when the slain rapper was also honored by his hometown of Los Angeles. The small ceremony stood in contrast to a giant celebration a day earlier of the 33-year-old Hussle, whose real name was Ermias Asghedom. Earlier Friday, the Los Angeles City Council voted unanimously to rename the intersection of Crenshaw Boulevard and Slauson Avenue "Nipsey Hussle Square." The South Los Angeles intersection is home to Hussle's clothing store, The Marathon. Hussle's family and dozens of fans were at the meeting, which also adjourned in his honor, before heading to the burial service.
