*Whoa! Here’s some mind blowing news we just came across. Would you believe Crayola is considering naming/renaming a color after the slain rapper?
Mind you, the the key word is “considering” for what should be obvious reasons. We’ll get to that shortly. In any event, the company put the idea of renaming its cobalt blue Crayola color in 2017. Fast forward to this year and in the wake of the Nipsey Hussle tragedy, his fans are lobbying the company to go with the color of the former Crips gang member: blue.
As has been reported, the Grammy-nominated rapper was gunned down outside his clothing store in Los Angeles in March. The 33-year-old had planned to meet with LAPD officials the next day.
Nipsey’s friends and fans, including NBA superstar LeBron James, are calling for the crayon to be named “Nipsey Blue.”

Sandra Rose reports that in an interview with CBS Los Angeles, LeBron called Nipsey’s murder “one of the most unfortunate events that’s happened in American history.”
He added: “It’s so unfortunate when you look at a guy who believed in what he believed in, talked about how he wanted to give back to his own community, actually gave back to his community, and actually stayed in his community.”
Of course the problem for the company is the deceased rapper’s association with the notorious Crips street gang. You can only imagine the problems the company will have on its hands if they go through with naming the color after the rapper. It’s a nice gesture, and we hope we’re wrong, but we’re betting it WON’T happen.
And your thoughts are?
