HOT 91.7 FM Nipsey Hussle Honored with Wax Figure at Invest Fest 2024
Written by Randy C on August 28, 2024
The late Crenshaw icon was recently honored with a wax figure at Invest Fest 2024. This marked the debut of the first-ever wax figure of Hussle, unveiled by an artist known as Mr. Officials as part of a $100,000 competition at the festival.
From the looks of it, they got it right because fans believe the wax figure is a strikingly accurate representation of Hussle. The figure depicts him in a black T-shirt emblazoned with “Crenshaw” across the chest in white letters, paired with a gold chain and distressed black jeans.
According to Mr. Officials, crafting this figure was a labor-intensive project over nine months.
Invest Fest’s official Instagram posted:
“A tribute to greatness meets the grind for success. Witnessing a contestant honor Nipsey Hussle with a stunning wax figure while competing for $100,000 at Invest Fest. The Marathon continues!”
This moment was critical as the $100,000 pitch competition at Invest Fest was dedicated to Hussle’s memory, a tribute initiated by his company, The Marathon Continues. Hussle’s brother, Blacc Sam, was present at the event and was reportedly moved to tears upon seeing the wax figure.
