Nipsey Hussle’s Grade School Poetry Shared Online After His Death

Nipsey Hussle was always a talented wordsmith.

Hussle, whose real name was Ermias Asghedom, was always good with his words, as seen in a few short stories and poems he wrote when he was just a little boy. Somebody that went to school with him shared images of his school’s yearbook, writing: “So it turns out that @NipseyHussle was my friend Ermias from elementary school. Sad we lost touch and even sadder to learn of his tragic passing. Here are some yearbook pics and a short essay he wrote on the meaning of friendship at age 9.”

The essays were written when Hussle was a little boy so to see that he already had so much emotion to convey in his writing was just a precursor for what was to come. Hussle may be gone but his creative work will live forever.

Here are some short stories and a poem from @NipseyHussle that I also found in old yearbooks. Nip was just 7, 8, and 10 years old when he wrote these. Already a great wordsmith. pic.twitter.com/GHY8Nsv1cF
