Nipsey Hussle.
The two rappers met as teenagers and remained good friends until Hussle’s death on March 31, 2019. One of the last verses the rap legend completed before his death was featured on Sean’s latest Grammy-nominated single, “Deep Reverence” from
Detroit 2.
The
Detroit 2 rapper said it feels “great” to have earned his sixth Grammy nomination, including his third for Best Rap Performance.
“The song, ‘Deep Reverence,’ for me and Nipsey Hussle is such an important rap song, so it’s an honor, and I appreciate the honor [the Recording Academy] gave me,” Sean tells
People.
He described Nipsey as “more like my brother” who he “learned a lot from.”
