Nispey’s Affiliates MOCK Big U After The Death Of His Son

💔 A Halloween Nightmare: The Assassination of Jabari Henley and the Vicious Cycle of Online Karma

The tragic assassination of Jabari “Baby Wii” Henley, the son of hip-hop figure Eugene “Big U” Henley, on Halloween night, October 31st, 2025, in South Los Angeles, did more than just take a young father’s life. It became the horrifying ground zero for an explosion of toxic online speculation, fueled by six years of unresolved beef and conspiracy theories surrounding the murder of Nipsey Hussle.

The incident exposed the worst of internet culture, where grief turns into content, rumors become facts, and a young man’s death was weaponized as “karma” against his incarcerated father.

🔪 The Tragedy on Figueroa: What Went Down

On the night of October 31st, 2025, at around 11:11 PM PDT, Jabari Henley (34) was shot multiple times at the Fig and 69 Smoke Spot on South Figueroa Street.

The Incident: Witnesses reported a dark-colored sedan (believed to be a Toyota Camry or Honda Accord) pulled up to the curb. Jabari walked up to the passenger window and began talking to the occupant. Gunfire erupted immediately, with at least seven rounds fired.
The Victim: Jabari, who was a warehouse supervisor and father to a 10-year-old daughter, was hit four times in the torso, chest, arm, and thigh. He was pronounced dead at the scene at 11:28 PM.
The Ruling: The Los Angeles County Coroner’s office officially ruled the death a homicide caused by multiple gunshot wounds leading to hemorrhagic shock.
The Investigation: As of November 2nd, 2025, there are no arrests. LAPD offered a $50,000 reward and collected 12 surveillance videos. Forensic evidence suggests a possible partial match to a Hoover affiliate, indicating “spillover retaliation” related to traditional gang tensions, not the Nipsey Hussle case.

A Father’s Grief From Behind Bars

The heartbreak was magnified by the fact that Jabari’s father, Big U (58), learned of his son’s murder while incarcerated at the Metropolitan Detention Center in downtown LA. Big U has been held without bail since March 2025, facing a massive 43-count RICO indictment alleging he ran a mafia-like operation tied to the Roland 60s Crips.

His co-defendant, Loose Cannon, delivered the news via a contraband phone, describing Big U’s agonizing grief: “Big U just froze… tears streaming, fists clenched… Then he whispered, ‘Not my boy, not like this.’”

📱 The Digital Mob: Karma and Conspiracy

In the hours following the shooting, the internet erupted with a toxic pile-on, immediately linking Jabari’s murder to the six-year-old conspiracy theories that Big U was somehow involved in the 2019 murder of Nipsey Hussle.

The Lies That Won

The online narrative was driven by rumors that had been proven false during Eric Holder Jr.’s 2022 murder trial. The key pieces of “evidence” used to justify the mockery:

The Holder “Vouch”: The unproven theory that Big U vouched for Eric Holder Jr., Nipsey’s convicted killer, was recirculated. Fact: Big U’s name never appeared in the official court transcripts, call logs, or witness testimony during Holder’s trial.
Old Beefs: Resurfaced clips from figures like Charleston White and Wack 100—detailing alleged business disagreements or physical altercations between Nipsey and Big U—were used to construct a motive.

As one commentator pointed out, if there was any real evidence of Big U orchestrating a murder-for-hire, prosecutors would have used it against Holder, who received a 60-years-to-life sentence.

The Real History: Mentor, Partner, and Community Builder

The irony is that Big U and Nipsey Hussle were, for years, partners in community building and music.

Mentorship: Big U signed Nipsey to a management deal in 2009 and viewed him as a “next-gen leader.”
Community Work: They co-hosted the “Unity in the Community” event and collaborated on the “BlockbyBlock” series, with Nipsey donating $100,000 to Big U’s CIA youth programs.
Post-Murder: After Nipsey’s death, Big U organized an April 2nd unity march and delivered a eulogy, calling Nipsey his “son in spirit.”

The rumors of betrayal, however, destroyed Big U’s reputation, leading to the loss of a $3 million contract with Adidas and other programs for his non-profit, even before the RICO indictment. Jabari’s murder became the final, tragic layer of injustice.

The tragic death of Jabari Henley shows how digital conflict and unhealed community trauma can hijack the narrative, overshadowing the pursuit of justice for an innocent victim.
