NIPSEY HUSSLE MEMORIAL TO BE HEAVILY GUARDED … To Avoid Vigil Chaos

Nipsey Hussle’s Downtown L.A. memorial service will be a heavily guarded affair — and it’s got a lot to do with the chaos that broke out at a vigil a week before … TMZ has learned. Sources familiar with Nipsey’s Celebration of Life at the Staples Center arena this Thursday tell us there will be an abundance of security from multiple agencies and organizations — all with the intention of keeping the memorial peaceful and drama-free.

We’re told security on hand Thursday will feature a mix of muscle — from members of the LAPD, members of the Nation of Islam, as well as Staples Center personnel. Our sources say the LAPD is only on hand to offer assistance … helping to move traffic, keep the peace and to step in if needed.
