Master P Says Nipsey Hussle Received ‘Fake Love’ After His Death
“We Got To Celebrate While We Are Here, Stop It With Fake Love” – Master P
Master P is still coming to terms with the death of Nipsey Hussle, having stressed in a new interview that the late rapper received a lot of “fake love” after his passing.
The 51-year-old discussed how Nipsey’s artistry, particularly with his debut album, Victory Lap — which was released in February 2018 — wasn’t given the same amount of praise until Nipsey, whose real name is Airmiess Joseph, died in March 2019.
The No Limit Records founder is now asking the question of why that same amount of love Nipsey received after his passing was not shown while he was still alive, especially during a time when the latter began to doubt himself when Victory Lap didn’t perform as well as he hoped.

“He was like, ‘Man, I put my all into this project….And then when it didn’t happen, – and just watching the people, this guy didn’t know that his funeral was at the Staples Center,” Master P explained, per TheJasmineBrand. “He didn’t know that he had that type of love.”
According to the ‘90s rap legend, when the reception to Victory Lap had proven to be minuscule, people were alleged to have discouraged Nipsey by telling him that he may not be as good of a rapper as he thought.
Interestingly enough, however, the project has since earned a Platinum plaque for sales upwards of one million units, which has left Master P completely baffled.
“Let’s be honest, he was still in Inglewood and Crenshaw trying to figure it out […] People would tell him, ‘Well, I don’t think that you got it.’ What happened? I mean, it’s the same album,” he remarked.
“The same album that people love now. That’s the part that I don’t understand. That’s why we got to celebrate while we were here. Stop it with fake love.”
