DJ Khaled, Nipsey Hussle, & John Legend’s Single Teased In Behind-The-Scenes Footage
The trio filmed the music video for their single just days before Nipsey was murdered.
RIP Nipsey. I just spent Thursday with him filming a video for a beautiful new song we created with Khaled. We filmed in Inglewood, close to where he grew up. He was so gifted, so proud of his home, so invested in his community. Utterly stunned that he's gone so soon.

Now, TMZ has obtained behind-the-scenes footage of the trio filming the music video. Hydraulic lowriders bounced alongside the three men as Legend sat behind a piano and the late rapper was decked out in his Nipsey Blue ‘fit. On Thursday, Khaled shared a bit about the loss of his friend and their last collaboration on Instagram.
“Recently, I embarked on a soul-searching journey down a road I never thought I would travel in a million years,” Khaled wrote. “It began when a tragedy robbed the world of an enlightened soul, a brother, a father, a partner and my friend, Nipsey Hussle. Just days prior, he shared his energy and positivity with me on a video set for a song called ‘Higher.’ After much prayer and reflection; and with the full blessing of the Asghedom family, I am sharing that moment with the world.”

“The very title of the song reminds us that vibrating on a ‘Higher’ level was the essence of Nipsey’s soul,” he continued. “It is in the spirit, of moving forward of preserving his mission that I, my co-writers, producers, and label partners are donating 100% of all our proceeds from ‘Higher’ to Nipsey’s children, Emani and Kross. The Marathon Continues. With love, Khaled Khaled.”
