A documentary about the late rapper Nipsey Hussle will be made by LeBron James.

 


Nipsey Hussle, a 33-year-old rapper, was shot and killed in Los Angeles three years ago. Today, one of basketball's biggest stars will produce a documentary about his life in order to preserve the musical legacy he left behind in just a few years.


LeBron James announced a collaboration with Maverick Carter's SpringHill Company and Nipsey Hussle's Marathon Films to produce a documentary about the Angeleno rapper.

As is traditional with such documentaries, its value lies not only in presenting the story of Airmiess Joseph Asghedom (Hussle's real name), but in showcasing exclusive, unpublished footage and interviews with other rappers of the caliber of Diddy and Snoop Dogg.

LeBron wants to inspire others through the documentary

"It's an incredible honor for SpringHill to be able to share Nipsey's story and legacy with the world," James said. "He used his gift to give back to his community and lived what it means to inspire, empower and uplift others along the way."

"His words, his ambition and his actions stay with me to this day as he continues to inspire me, our company and people around the world", he added.

The series does not yet have a title or premiere date

The documentary, which does not yet have a title or a release date, will be executive produced by both LeBron James and Maverick Carter.

"It's an incredible responsibility to tell Nipsey Hussle's story with his family and Marathon Films in a way that captures all aspects of his life, from his childhood to his impact on the community and culture," Carter said. "His legacy extends far beyond music. He defined activism and what it means to never forget your roots."
