Late Nipsey Hussle’s casket has left the Staples Center where his Celebration of Life service held for his funeral procession around Los Angeles.

The late rapper’s casket will be driven across the city of Los Angeles, a 25-mile stretch following the memorial at the Staples Center on Thursday. This will be his last touring of the streets before he’s laid to rest.

After the funeral procession, Nipsey Hussle casket will be buried at the Forest Lawn Memorial Park.

As the 25 mile procession rolled through the streets of South LA , Nipsey Hussle coffin was carried in this silver hearse and followed by hundreds of cars.

The rapper’s casket will travel by his Marathon Clothing store and through multiple Los Angeles neighborhoods on a 25.5 mile funeral procession.

It’s expected to take about an hour-and-a-half from Staples Center in downtown L.A. to a funeral home in Crenshaw.
