Nick Cannon announced that he would continue what Nipsey Hussle started by promising to finish the Dr. Sebi documentary that some think is tied to the rapper's death.
As Blavity reported, Nipsey Hussle, born Ermias Asghedom, died on Sunday after being shot six times in front of his Los Angeles store. The 33-year-old rapper was transported to a local hospital where he later died. Two others are reportedly in critical condition. The shooting is still under investigation, and the cause is unknown.
Hussle was spearheading a documentary about the 1993 case People of the State of New York v. Ogun Herbal Research Institute. The case involved famed Honduran herbalist Dr. Sebi and the state of New York; Sebi was sued for claiming to have found the cure to AIDS. To this day, conspirators believe, like Hussle, the spreading of Dr. Sebi's legacy also had some correlation to the early death of TLC's Lisa "Left Eye" Lopes.
As conspiracy theories amount, Complex reports Nick Cannon took his dedication to Hussle's cause one step further by announcing he'll carry on the documentary torch in a series of Instagram posts.

"And the Lord said, 'Job well done my son,'" Cannon captioned a photo of himself and Nipsey Hussle. "King this is how I want to remember you! Laughing! Smiling! I ain’t slept yet, thinking about our conversations! Real ones from a real one!"
"And I’m gonna say this only for the real ones to recognize. Where you left off, we gonna carry one! It’s a MARATHON, so I’m picking up the baton! Because they can’t kill us all!" he continued. "Spiritual Warfare is REAL and in full effect. And now your Spirit is protecting your community eternally! Your words, your steps, your walk always was and always will be SOLID!
"Now, Your message is my message! Your work is my work!" Cannon wrote. "I know you still rocking with us and your voice will never be silenced, because to be absent from the body is to be present with the Most High! So now that you are at Peace don’t Rest… Keep leading… Keep Shining King! Cosmic Love My Brotha!”
Cannon also uploaded several videos of Dr. Sebi speaking about his work and the curing of diseases, adding that it is up to the Black community to keep messages from leaders such as Hussle and Sebi alive.
Many responded, congratulating Cannon on stepping up to take on the task, while others appeared to be fearful of the move.
"You are a real one Nick. Please do carry on what he started, ESPECIALLY that Dr. Sebi documentary," wrote one.
"Protect Nick, don't just pray for him. Throw your body in front of him," another added.
"You got the tears burning," wrote a third."THIS is what real love is! I Know you're one of the greats and I knew YOU wouldn't let his voice be silenced! Woke!"
Nipsey Hussle is survived by Lauren London, his long-time partner, and his two children, daughter Emani from a previous relationship and his son Kross whom he had with London.
