Roddy Ricch is extremely transparent during his recent sit down Akademiks. The Compton native did not hold back. Roddy who appeared on ”Victory Lap,” said many started to listen to Nipsey’s album after his death.
“N***as don’t want to say it but I’ma say it, when the album came out, I didn’t really hear a lot of n***as really playing this sh*t until it was a trend to play his music. We was playing this sh*t, forwards and backwards, as soon as it came out, just like any other Nipsey Hussle album because we from the West and we support that sh*t and we know what he talking about, we understand what he talking about. N***as ain’t bump Victory Lap until it was a trend and I’ma stand firm on that. N***as wasn’t Nipsey Hussle riders until that shit was a trend to be,” Roddy explained.
