In a nine-minute video posted on Facebook on Tuesday, Angelique Smith delivered powerful and needed words of encouragement and peace in death of her son Ermias Asghedom aka Nipsey Hussle who was fatally shot outside his clothing store Marathon Clothing, in Los Angeles on March 31.
"I have strength, and I want to lift you up," Smith said. "Please do not stay down, do not stay stuck, do not mourn. Because Nipsey is great. And now he's even greater because he has no bounds and no limits. His energy is everywhere. He's there with you now and he's here with me now. And please be encouraged."
Smith said her son appeared beautiful and peaceful after his death.
“When you walk this earth and you do good deeds for people and you are loving and kind, those are the things that will show on your face — you will look more beautiful," Smith said. "Ermias looked healthy, he looked clean, he had a glow."
"He did not look scary. He did not look like he was shot. None of the trauma … the way that he left this earth, none of that showed on his face. He looked like a radiant, clean, beautiful light being. Nothing negative."
A memorial will be held on Thursday at the Staples Center in Los Angeles.
