Nipsey Hussle Involved In Fight At Lauren London’s Birthday Party

Lauren London’s birthday celebration took a turn on Sunday night when her longtime boo Nipsey Hussle was dragged into a huge brawl outside of a West Hollywood nightclub.

The incident in question occurred in the Nightingale’s parking lot, where Nipsey had also run into O.T. Genasis earlier that night. Shortly after the rappers encountered one another, several men came out of nowhere and confronted Nipsey’s whole crew. Punches were thrown, which caused security to be called, and the altercation ended without any major injuries or arrests.

But why was Nipsey even targeted in the first place?

Earlier that night, O.T. Genasis was seen punching a fellow patron inside of the nightclub. TMZ reports that the unidentified man wanted to settle the score so he and another guy approached who they thought was O.T. in the parking lot.

Both O.T. and Nipsey were wearing flannels on the night in question, which is why some believe Nipsey’s involvement in the fight was nothing but a case of mistaken identity.

Days later, when TMZ caught up with Hussle at LAX, the rapper seemed unfazed by the incident and was more interested in plugging his projects. “That’s life. We don’t give that s**t no attention,” Nipsey said about Sunday’s altercation. “We workin’ on music at this point. Do I got any bruises, any scratches? We workin’ bro.”
