Nipsey Hussle's team is dispelling rumors about the late rapper's connection to his alleged killer, Eric Holder.
After BG Knocc claimed the alleged murderer was once signed to Nipsey's record label, All Money, and a video serviced showing Nipsey allegedly hugging the suspect six months before his death, Nipsey's camp set the record straight about their association.
"Nipsey is embracing Flacco, who is NOT Eric Holder," a source clarified of the video that surfaced on Monday (May 6). The insider added, the only rappers signed to Nipsey's label are Cuzzy, Jstone, Cobby, BH, PacMan and Killa Twan; Eric Holder was never a part of that group.
Eric is accused of murdering Nipsey outside his Marathon clothing store on March 31. As fans know, after allegedly shooting Nipsey multiple times and kicking his body, Eric allegedly fled the murder scene in a getaway car but was captured days later following a city-wide manhunt. The 29-year-old suspect was arrested and charged with one count of first-degree murder, two counts of attempted murder, and one count of possession of a firearm by a felon. He entered a not guilty plea last month.
Eric is being defended by the man who tried to put O.J. Simpson behind bars. Chris Darden, who was a part of the prosecution team in O.J.'s 1993 double murder trial, was front and center when Eric plead not guilty in court on April 4. According to the L.A.Times, Prosecutor John McKinney said it was his understanding that Chris had been privately retained for Eric.
