Former President Barack Obama Sends Letter Honoring Nipsey Hussle | NBC News
Barry was never our President!! He’s a fake
No he was indeed our president, your comment is just as bad as all the racist black people saying Trump isn’t their president!
John Wayne Pettimore racist black people… lol.. We’re officially in the twilight zone
ill will.. there’s more racist blacks than whites these days!
@Andrew Sullivan Define racist.
No matter what, he still our President!!!
Donovan Mitchell he your president everybody don’t claim him
Why mr Obama didn’t helping black people .he made black people on welfare.. Mr Obama faked
@Andy Pham u expect that man to help every black ppl?????
@Donovan Mitchell ur president not ours
He isn’t anyones’ President. That’s not how it works. Donald Trump is your President.
What an awesome tribute from one of our country’s finest Presidents!
Madelyn Mathers I wouldn’t say finest but I agree!
Obama was a lame duck president.
That wig.. but ok
Jernel Strong I’m just saying that’s all I see
Almost all black girls have wigs and weave nowdays, so u pointed out the obvious…
bee t I pointed out how wiggy it looks
Y’all doing the most it was a joke
But all I see is it taking half her forehead with a little hump..ijs 👆
@DontNeedToKnow84 lmfao
@rosegoldbb the point is at a time like this do u really think yr comment was necessary that’s the least important thing to worry about
🙏🙏😇😇
Biden 2020–>Obama Legacy Restored!
Right On Barack let us Move Forward on Nipseys Legacy
If Obama would have done a fraction of what Our beloved Brother Nipsey was doing, we would have had a great day of reckoning for the Black Communities across the country. Obama had no interest, and unfortunately his policies proved it. So let’s not get side tracked with who praise Nipsey, but who follows Nipsey path of Greatness. Rest in paradise 👑 Nipsey
@Adaryll Kelly if Obama didn’t have people shutting everything he tried to do down we would be better. WTH? Lol
@Jacob Alfaro Not true, he implemented executive orders only when it was convenient for him. No real fight in that guy for the people. Research it.
Who shot the punk? Stop shooting each other up!
Your step dads name wasnt mentioned what punk would you be talking about?
It you don’t have nothing to say don’t say it you sound stupid for your comment
@Antonio Goode Stop shooting each other!
Not even black person shooting each other white people do it to the problem is that the newspaper don’t print it they print black only
@Antonio Goode Big time wrong! They media does not want to use the word “black”…So stop it. There was three young girls in Florida yesterday. They were naked in the middle of the day…outside…in the middle of the day. Someone called the pOlice….and when the pOlice arrived..the young girls tried to run them over…one had a baseball bat…I’m thinkin…Who does that?
It was black girls! Why bro? Why? So stop your crap. I’m black too!
YEAH OBAMA’S LETTER READS AS FOLLOWS THANK YOU NIPSEY FOR DOING MORE FOR BLACK COMMUNITIES THAN I DID IN ALL MY 8 YEARS IN OFFICE 🙏
tiffany curtis , You obviously have never had major medical problems, or you’ve always had big money to pay doctors & hospitals. I don’t know who this “Nipsey” was, nor do I care. I know who President OBAMA is. Because of HIM my family & I can go to any Dr. and hospital and receive care, without going bankrupted. I am not a religious man, I am a BLACK MAN who says this: “May God Watch Over You & Your Family, MR. PRESIDENT.”
@Jon Cooper IM TALKING ABOUT CRIME NOT MEDICAL CARE AND JOBS READ CAREFULLY BEFORE YOU GET UPSET JOBS AND CRIME HE DID NOTHING 😡😡
He’s smarter than most. He knows that race is a social construct, so he’s not picking and choosing what color people he should make changes for. He made changes that impacted ALL. #43, 44, & 45 had a big impact on black communities.

The Presidency went from Black Excellence to white incompetence. Agolf Twitler can’t hold a candle to number 44!
The economy can.
Exactly!! I love it “Agolf Twitler”…lol
@Ollie Wood dumb
DID TRUMP HONOR NIPSEY?
Her eyelashes and tears are as fake are her dad..
KeepItReal you know that’s Karen Civil, she’s not an Obama
Who is her dad ?
That’s a real President right there.
Awww. Very sweet
President Obama remember Nipsey for respect for family and friends
Wanted ta thumbs up but im gonna leave that sixty instead.
Not even a tweet or condolence message from the 45th President of United States of American.Too bad Mr 45th President.
As much as I don’t care for Trump and respect what Nipsey represented I don’t think he is obliged to tweet or message. Barack for other reasons showed his respect but essentially to the rest of the world it’s just another life lost.
OBAMA 💯💯💯💯
😥😭
This beautiful man is the real one 💯💪 Nipsey Hussle 🙏🕊️
Jacinda Camacho Nipsey was the ultimate Alpha Male…something that’s rare in today’s society.
Obama for eight more!
Eighth more on black welfare
Why everybody so hyped over Obama?! He did nothing!!! Nipsey did way more than Obama for his people.
Here are just the top 50 things Obama did.
https://washingtonmonthly.com/magazine/januaryfebruary-2017/obamas-top-50-accomplishments-revisited/
Marathon continues world need more legends like you.
Your heart your soul can never be forgotten…
You already made us love each other more.
Nuppsy who?
Never liked rap.
There will NEVER BE ANOTHER 44TH PRESIDENT WITH SUCH A GOOD HEART!
derrick terry Get out of here, the President was a better man than you ever could be.
@REDANDSILVER741 You probably think gangbanging, drug dealing Nipsey Hussle was a great man too, so you as a judge of character fail all the way around.
@Ben Chillin no I don’t, but that is the reality of the situation in lower income neighborhoods where drugs a d ga vs run rampant. Nipsey tried to change that with his music. Your comments are that of hate. Say what you want, you will not be remembered as a great man by the actions you are doing but Obama will. Nothing you day will change that
There won’t be another number 44 ya your right lmao but u get what u saying yeah we just needa hang the number 44 jersey in the rafters of the whitehouse
He almost destroyed the country. But he will be the first president to go to prison
Donald Trump wanted to show up and honor Nipsey but his family denied him. What a shame.
RIP . Too young to go .
Mr Obama faked .
That young lady looks like a young version of Gabrielle union but it’s just me
Michael Jordan i agree
💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽 Obama for president again
Rip Nipsey wont be forgotten.
Wonderful words to a wonderful man. I appreciate this very much.
I wanna be free but u left me lying there to bleed in slavery u sit and earns gunna turn to Saturn
You are all sheep
So we just gonna ignore that wig… ?
Taqeem Hilton2.0 stfu rude
That’s a weird comment to post about a woman, speaking at a funeral.. Why do you care about her hair..tf
Taqeem Hilton2.0 I think you are bothered she is reading Obama letter.
1 Dead, Others Hurt in Shooting During Nipsey Hussle Procession today in LA…let that sink in.
Nipseys death reminds me of Tupacs death in the magnitude of how big it is.
kinda look like Tupac is overrated tho. tbh
When it comes to writing epitaph Obama is simply the best. Rest on Nipsey ,from Nigeria with love .
44 the epitome of class.
Barack obama!!!! If that aint love and respect I don’t know what is. #Powerful #RIHNipsey #YouHaveTouchMeInManyWays #BlackExcellence #BusinessOwner #Love
RESPECT 🙏🏾💙🙏🏾
Our president.
💯♾❤️
Obama is a lying POS. I will bet my last dollar that Obama’s self hating white bread daughters never heard of Nipsey Hussle before he was murdered. My nephew goes to Harvard and he told me that he never seen Obama’s daughter with a black person. She don’t hang out where the black people hang out and she don’t go to the parties or dances that black people attend. Obama, his wife and his daughters are enemies of black people.
I think that is a disgrace to play a letter from someone who killed Gaddafi a Libyan leader who was going to transform Africa with oil wealth
This had nothing to do with Obama. This was not even during his time in office. So please STFU.
Obama for Crenshaw
Lol
Obama is a good man 👍
God Bless you President Obama, forever my President.
A president who cares. Thank you President Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama.
We always have Obama on our team. So Michelle Obama please be next president and get dat stupid uneducated mf outta office next election thank you
NIPSEY HUSSLE did more for the BLACK COMMUNITY than al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson and obama
Still my President!!!!
Oh please…. 🙄
Donald trump somewhere Saying I wish I can spell 😍.
But rip to the legend
Democrat Party is a bunch of sickos. Jail time for Renegade (R) is coming.
Barack one of the greatest presidents of all time! ❤️
I just say come to the chair the president off the world .
That flower wall is out of this world. It was a beautiful send off for a beautiful soul and a lovely touch from the former president there Nipsey would be made up with that. May he Rest In Peace
I wonder if Barack knew that vector 90 never had anything to do with lifting the eritrean American community
ex president cuz trump is president stupid title dont make sense
Obama did nothing for the blacks … Nipsey did more R.I.P
That is simply untrue. Opportunists will always make exaggerated claims like yours.
What a wonderful entertainer. Genuine Soul.
Respect always to #44 President Barack Obama 🙌🏽❤️
R.I.P. Nipsey Hussell🕊👑❤️
Nipsey got more love than anyone else I’ve seen since Michael Jackson.
Shakespeare Fan he was a true legend

Karen Civil is a powerful Black Women. She really aims 2 make a difference 4 us on all levels. Peace baby.
U r the truth 4real.
Karen Civil 4 President.
-Tapio.Must.Die
Please understand that this was a power grab for the Black vote for this up coming election, so Obama could endorse another corporate Democrat. Obama would have never acknowledge Our Brother 👑 Nipsey if LAPD wouldn’t have spoke so highly of Nipsey’s United Deeds, and heart warming Greatness, of solving some of our most devastating issues that we face in our Black Communities, followed by the mainstream news positive & fair coverage of him. So Obama risked nothing, and tried to gain something for acknowledging Our Brother 👑 Nipsey. Rest in paradise 👑 Nipsey
R.I.P Nipsey Hussle your legacy will forever live on , everyone spoke highly of you which made me feel you were a wonderful person . Sorry for your loss Laura London and family.
💙💙💙😭😭😭😭😭😭😪😪😪😪😪😪😪😪😪😪😪😪😒😒😒😒😒🐐🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭💙😭😭💙😭💙😭💙😭💙😭💙😭😭💙
Am eritrea what i lernt from you that fo over nippsy hassul ya but thanks doughter obama !
My president. I felt safe with him in the white house. Now, I don’t know if I should immigrate someone else till this fool leaves.
A criminal president giving his condolences to an actual criminal, ironic!!!
Gabriel Lopez 😀
Both claims are actually non factual . So,…………. I don’t get it.
BIG U=BIG KILLER
Obama the wimp and traitor to the America!
Fk Obama and his health care
Pm N toilet flash ur self.
It would be great if he did that for X but still rip to all the legends

I got my already programmed and blanked ATM card to withdraw the maximum of
$20,000 daily for a maximum of 35 days. I am so happy about this because i
got mine last week and I have used it to get $100,000 so far. MR BEN DONARD
is giving out the card just to help the poor and needy though it is illegal
but it is something nice and he is not like other scam pretending to have
the blank ATM cards. And no one gets caught when using the card. get yours
from him. Just apply via email “bendonardatmhack@gmail.com”.
WHATSAPP, or direct message via +1(862) 250-5232
He still my president
Karen seems a little edgy , look at her body language
She seems bothered by something ….. Her breathing is not normal
🙏🏾👏🏾Thank you President Obama that was a good honor for Nipsey Hussle and his words.🙏🏾👏🏾
R.I.P Bro😭😢😔🙏🏾🙏🏾😇😇
Very nice words. #rip
Long live nip. 💙
Obama might have not been the best president from an economic standpoint but maaaaan he is hands down the most genuine human being to ever be called president
Bruh idc, nipsey is the second Tupac he was a straight up hustler
2020 ANYBODY
Obama is a war criminal
……If you refuse to apply necessary context, maybe. In other words, the office of the presidency would automatically make one a war criminal, …by your standards. It’s literally impossible to defend and protect US citizens, without falling within someone’s perception of being criminal. In fact, why not just name every man that’s been elected, rather than the one you want to demonize today?
Tell the entire story or continue trying to deceive . Your choice.
We all can down as Greats . Nipsey got all his knowledge from books . When he was a alive , he titled himself a Great and a King . Thoughts are powerful , speak it into existence and put fourth action behind it
Marathon continues
