Nipsey Hussle's "Celebration of Life" will be held on Thursday, April 11.
The celebrated rapper and activist's friends and family shared the details of his memorial service on Monday (April 8). "Join Us for the Celebration of the Life & Legacy of Nipsey Hussle," read the Instagram caption of the memorial service announcement, which features a photo of Nipsey in an all-white suit with angel wings.
The service will be held at Los Angeles' Staples Center from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. It is open to the public. Fans are instructed to get tickets at Staplescenter.com/NipseyHussle. While tickets are complimentary, there is a four-ticket limit per household, and you have to be a resident of California.
Doors will open at 8:00 a.m. and guests are asked to arrive early as Staples seats only 21,000 people.
While the memorial service is a public event, guests are not permitted to take photos or videos. "Out of respect to the family, cameras and recording devices will not be permitted inside the venue," read the event information shared on the memorial services' website. "You may be asked to leave the event if you are found recording or taking photos."
Following the service, the Grammy-nominated artist will take one last victory lap around Los Angeles as part of his funeral procession. According to TMZ, Nipsey's casket will cover just over 25 miles, traveling through South L.A. to a few important landmarks, including his Marathon clothing store, where he was fatally shot on March 31.
Sources told the entertainment news site, "Nipsey's family wanted to make sure the community got an opportunity to pay respects along the route because most people won't be able to attend the memorial."
The funeral procession is expected to take about an hour and a half, ending at a funeral home in Crenshaw, TMZ reports.
