AceShowbiz - Slain rapper Nipsey Hussle's Los Angeles clothing store has been boarded up and fenced off to keep fans away on what would have been his 34th birthday.
A barbed wire fence now surrounds Marathon Clothing, where Nipsey was gunned down and killed in March.
The store became the site of an ongoing memorial for weeks after his death, but his associates and family members are trying to keep fans away on his birthday.
Concerned about gang activity around the store, Los Angeles police officials are planning to post more than 100 officers near the Slauson and Crenshaw intersection, where the store is located, on Thursday (August 15) to monitor those arriving to pay their respects.
Meanwhile, TMZ sources claim his family members are planning to stage a private gathering to mark his birthday.
