A video has circulated online that allegedly shows rapper Nipsey Hussle and his alleged killer Eric Holder embracing in a friendly manner six months before Nipsey's death.
In the video posted to Instagram on Monday, Neighborhood Nip and Holder are outside his clothing shop, The Marathon Clothing, which is the same place Holder killed the father of two. However, a source close to the slain musician told XXL that is not the same man who killed Nipsey and wounded two others on March 31.
"Nipsey is embracing Flacco, who is NOT Eric Holder," the source explained.
In fact, the source added that Cuzzy, Jstone, Cobby, BH, PacMan and Killa Twan were the only artists on the label and Holder was never involved in that cohort.

The rejection is a response to an interview Compton artist BG Knocc Out did with VladTV in which he said that Holder was signed to Nipsey's All Money In record label before he and Nipsey severed ties due to accusations of snitching.
"He was actually on Nipsey’s label before," BG Knocc explained. "I think he caught a gun case with one of the homies or something. Something happened where they went to jail and he’s supposed to had said something. So, they pretty much kicked him out, you know what I mean? For snitching. They didn't kill him or beat him down or nothing like that, but they just told him to stay away, like, 'You can't hang out.' He probably took that some type of way 'cause he got the hood all over his body."
Holder, 29, pleaded not guilty on April 4 to the first-degree murder and attempted murder charges stemming from killing the beloved artist and philanthropist. Prior to Nip's murder, footage revealed the "Last Time That I Checc'd" rapper and Holder were engaging in conversation before the assailant returned with a gun and fired shots at Nip and two associates before taking off in a getaway vehicle.
