Nipsey Hussle’s Birthday Has Police on Alert

Police are gearing up for a huge turnout at Nipsey Hussle's Marathon clothing store in celebration of the rapper's birthday. 

According to TMZ, more than 100 officers will be at and around Nispey's Marathon Clothing store August 15 and many will not be in uniform. 

Nipsey's family hasn't released any particular plans as of yet. 

TMZ reported:

"Nipsey Hussle's birthday is still a couple weeks away ... but cops are already gearing up and bracing for a huge turnout at his Marathon Clothing store in his honor.

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ ... LAPD has August 15 marked on its calendar, planning a heavy presence at the location where the rapper was shot and killed earlier this year.

The police force is fully aware Nipsey was a beloved member of the community, so its anticipating thousands of fans showing up to pay their respects on his bday.

We're told the LAPD is not taking any chances.

Our sources say more than 100 officers will be in the area -- but many will be in plain clothes because they don't want to come off as threatening.

Interestingly, Hussle's camp hasn't even released any official plans about how it will celebrate his bday ... but cops are making an educated guess it will revolve around Marathon."
