Joyner Lucas is just a few days removed from the release of his new album ADHD, but he’s asking his fans to stop listening to it in favor of another artist.

It has been one year since the tragic passing of Nipsey Hussle, who was shot in front of his store in Los Angeles. The rapper was celebrated as one of the greatest wordsmiths of his generation, leading his community to achieve great things by the young age of thirty-three. If you have been listening intently to Joyner Lucas’ new project, he is kindly requesting for you to stop so that you can enjoy the artistry of the late Nipsey Hussle on “Nip Day.”

“If you listening to ADHD right now then please stop and go listen to @nipseyhussle all day,” wrote the New England emcee on Instagram. “Rest In Peace bro. Today I’m bumping #victorylap all day long.”

Joyner Lucas is not alone in celebrating the life and legacy of Nipsey Hussle today. Fans of the Los Angeles rapper have been extending their wishes to his family all day, sharing their favorite memories of him and re-posting their preferred songs. With first-week sales meaning a lot to most artists, this is a very gracious move from Joyner Lucas to direct attention away from his new album. 

Rest in power, Nip. We miss you.

Nipsey Hussle‘s tragic death last March shook the world to its core, and many of his loved ones and supporters are still mourning the loss of the hip hop legend. Despite the sadness that lingers, celebration is in order for his latest posthumous accomplishment. Nipsey’s debut studio album, Victory Lap, which dropped on February 16th, 2018 less than a month before he passed, has been officially certified platinum. 

Victory Lap debuted at number four on the Billboard 200 album chart before returning to hit the number 2 spot. It has now sold over 1,000,000 units based on streams and sales. While Nipsey’s music no doubt speaks for itself, he did see a huge spike in sales and streams following his death as his fans, friends, and family tried to cope with the loss. Before his death, he averaged about 2 million audio streams, but after he passed he earned 10 million audio streams and 57 million that following day. His video streams also rose, going from 900,000 to 9.7 million the day he passed. His legacy continues to be honoured, as it was recently announced that he received three Grammy nominations this year, including “Best Rap Performance” and “Best Rap Song” for “Racks in the Middle,” with Roddy Ricch & Hit-Boy, as well as “Best Rap/Sung Performance” for “Higher,” with DJ Khaled and John Legend.

Victory Lap debuted at the No. 4 spot on the Billboard 200 chart when it was released in February 2018 and helped earn Nipsey Hussle a Grammy Awards nomination for Best Rap Album. After the rapper’s tragic, untimely passing, his music streams greatly increased, and now 10 months after his murder, Nipsey’s debut studio album has been declared certified platinum by RIAA.

Following Nipsey’s death, the community leader and philanthropist was celebrated for his charitable efforts. His name was mentioned in songs, visual artists drew his face in mural worldwide, people took to the streets to honor his life, and celebrities talked about Nip in interviews as if he was a dear friend. You couldn’t go on the internet without reading about the late Nipsey Hussle, but now that this latest accomplishment has been announced, the rapper’s friend wants to know where all the fanfare has gone.

J. Stone, Nipsey’s good friend, collaborator, and All Money In records artist took to Instagram to call out people who were just using Nipsey’s name to “capitalize” off of his death. “Where the Nipsey love at now? My bro just went platinum,” he wrote. “All you b*tch ass n*ggas was just doing it for the clout & tryna capitalize. N*gga this sh*t forever his real bros gonna hold him down for life y’all b*tch ass n*ggas was temporary. I’m tired of y’all fake ass love for my bro and our team. We don’t need it and don’t want it. Cuz set his whole team straight for life. We good! God got us!”

Snopp Dogg commented, “It’s a thin line between real and fake thank god we on the real side and. Cuz knew that while he was here that’s key nefew ???. Oz up. NHNIPRIP.”
