His day comin soon," Jackson tweeted alongside a photo of the rapper.
Fans of the "Victory Lap" artist also wrote about how the multi-faceted rapper affected their lives.
"While I didn’t get to know Nipsey personally, I had small encounters that I’ll always remember. His presence was so strong, it was intimidating. I thought I had more time to chop it up with him cause we had so many mutual friends and he wasn’t hard to find," tweeted @iesha_irene.
