In terms of Twitter, they don't & anyone who knows anything about celebrities, know they are real sensitive when it comes to someone making money off their name & likeness.
They don’t have to join twitter, there is a lot of cost and back end support to build the platform. Then they brought in the crowds, it was only after the crowds were there that the influencers started to pop up. The money is and should be Twitter’s, don’t like that, invest in another platform and reap the benefits when they sell.
Dudes dead anyway, it’s not like it matters anymore. Bye Felicia.

Which was actually what he doing.

Nipsey Hussle: Corporations are so aware of our influence and the value of cultural currency that they’ve created entire business models built around it. They develop the platform, implement a structure, then bring us in to raise the value, and then they hide that from us. Nobody really knows how they monetize it, until you accidentally sit next to an app owner and he gives you the game for free. That’s why I created Proud 2 Pay. You’re either leveraging, or being leveraged. That’s why I think direct-to-consumer is important, because we’re being leveraged.

Which is even more stupid, an app owner can't tell you the game, because it's not a game or a hustle.
Twitter and Facebook didn't buy influencers because they didn't need to do that. They grew their communities organically that made the influencers come to them. Facebook only allowed college kids at first, it got tremendously popular and boomed from there. Buying influencers to bring in communities is a failed approach. Needs to be right place and right app, no app owner is going to be able to teach you how to hustle that no matter what this dead idiot thinks...
Lol at the name alone.

Nipsey Hussle: You’re absolutely right. I will give you an example. I was at a Laker game, and I was sitting next to the owner of Tinder. As we were talking, I asked him what’s his business model? He said, ‘it’s simple — distribution. Just like every other industry.’ I told him I didn’t fully understand what he meant by that, so he explained. He told me that to make Tinder valuable, he had to get influential people to use Tinder. Once influential people started using Tinder, the app became valuable. Then, he went into more detail. He said, every user is worth $21 to him, as the owner of the company. Meaning, when he went to get a valuation from venture capitalists and other investors, they take the total number of people who use Tinder, and multiply that total by $21 to measure its worth. So, when you say own your influence, you have to be clear about what that really means.
quote:
When the owners of Twitter go to get their valuation in order to sell 50% of the company at $21 per user, yet you’re the person who added 10 million people to the platform, the owners are the only ones getting a huge payday. We have to be more aware of what’s happening. We should be included, in whatever way we see fit. We don’t want advances, we want equity. We don’t want one-off endorsements, we want ownership. We want backend participation with the acquisition. If not, it’s disrespectful, because the whole model is leveraged off of our influence. It’s like that for all tech companies — Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and so forth. We celebrate having millions of followers, but they have the concrete numbers that matter and ultimate get to the revenue.

talking to the guy at Tinder to learn things. Tinder didn’t need influencers. Tinder is a hookup app, influencers aren’t going to frick their fans. Well unless they are prostitutes. This post was edited on 4/1/19 at 11:50 am

He apparently doesn’t understand that he isn’t responsible for adding Twitter users, they were already there and then chose to follow him.
Also not sure if he knows the difference between twitter and tinder

I gotta say I'm a bit surprised a lot of people in this thread are upset over some of the comments. He seemed to be a pretty violent guy considering his lyrics.
He helped ex-cons and tried to do some good and owned real estate. Okay? The Black Panthers held food drives. The Bloods and Crips have done the same thing. New York mobsters would give out food, money, etc.
Maybe he wasn't a monster, but the messages in his lyrics are those of hatred and nihilism. Not a good role model for young men.

Grammy-nominated rapper Nipsey Hussle, who was gunned down on Sunday outside his clothing store in South Los Angeles, was scheduled to meet with the city's police chief and the president of police commission Monday afternoon to discuss ways he could help prevent children from getting involved in gangs.
quote:
"We're talking about programs to help underserved kids, to keep kids out of gangs. And this was his idea. We've been working on this meeting for three months. How I wish it would have been on Saturday," Steve Soboroff, president of the Los Angeles Police Commission, told ABC News on Monday morning.
quote:
Soboroff said the meeting Nipsey Hussle had requested with him and Los Angeles Police Chief Michel Moore would go on as scheduled with representatives of Roc Nation, the entertainment company founded by rapper Jay-Z, set to attend.
"I just got a note from Roc Nation that said go ahead and have the meeting," Soboroff said. "I still have to get it verified with the chief, but I told those guys we will."
Moore tweeted early Monday morning that the slaying of the 33-year-old rapper, who was born Ermias Asghedom, who was born and raised in the neighborhood where he was fatally shot, came during a "troubling surge in violence" in Los Angeles.

According to CNN

His Facebook says Hussle was "a devout member of the Rolling Sixty Crips," a national street gang that was founded in Los Angeles in the mid-1970s.
Pablo Escobar did many wonderful things for the poor in Medellin and was beloved by many.

A "devout" member of the Crips would never be in photos much less do business (make songs together) with Bloods which Hussle did on a regular basis. It's also hard to "put in work on the block" like active bangers do while he actively networking & doing business across the country. He wasn't some local gang banger who never progressed out of his environment. He was still there because he wanted to change the environment into something that had more of a positive influence for future generations.
quote:
Pablo Escobar
Horrible comparison since Escobar was the main contributor to violence, drug sales & drug usage his community while on the otherhand Nipsey Hussle was putting together programs to curb gang violence, investing in businesses to provide jobs in the community & giving business seminars to the youth in the community.

His songs are used a lot in LSU sports videos. Most recently in today's big cat video.

Link? Surely a pos gangster like Nipsey Hussle has a long rap sheet that you easily find articles about.
