Nipsey Hussle was posthumously honored with the Humanitarian Award at the BET Awards on Sunday night, and the rappers family and peers honored his commitment to community service and empowerment from the stage.

Rapper T.I. appeared on stage before playing a short film that honored Nipsey, who was fatally shot outside his clothing store in Los Angeles in March. He said Nipsey proved that your life is your canvas and your body of work is your legacy.
