Wack 100 has ignited a wave of criticism from Nipsey Hussle fans following his recent about-face on the late rapper. On August 21, the controversial music manager took to Instagram to label Nipsey Hussle a “musical legend,” citing impressive posthumous commercial achievements.
However, many of Nipsey Hussle's followers have taken issue with Wack 100's sudden shift in tone, accusing him of insincerity given his past criticisms. Last year, Wack 100 made headlines for claiming he possessed a controversial sex tape involving Nipsey, a statement that added to the ongoing tension between the two figures.
Critics also recall Wack’s 2019 comments, where he questioned Nipsey's legendary status due to his limited discography and absence of major hits during his lifetime. Wack 100 had previously argued that Nipsey's acclaim came only after his death
Additionally, Wack 100 stirred further controversy with his remarks defending Nipsey's killer, Eric Holder, which he later apologized for.
Fans have expressed their frustration on social media, with many deeming Wack 100’s recent praise as disingenuous. One user remarked, “My problem you just all last year talking about a sextape you got on old boi now you posting showing love,” while another criticized, “U been slandering this man legacy and name for years now u wanna show love smh.”
The backlash highlights the ongoing divide in public perception of Nipsey Hussle’s legacy and the complexities surrounding Wack 100’s controversial stance on the late rapper.
