Hussle would have turned 34 on August 15 if not for his tragic shooting back in March. He was gunned down outside his Marathon clothing store in Los Angeles.

Stars mourned his death and now continue to celebrate him on his birthday with special tributes. His girlfriend, Lauren London did so by sharing a slide show of photos and honoring him as “king."
