Nipsey Hussle's real estate investments in his hometown of Los Angeles were well known.

What was less known is that his empire was about to get bigger.

The 33-year-old, who was killed on March 31, had an ownership share in a Las Vegas resort which was slated to open next year.

His business partner David Gross jumped on Instagram and spoke on Nipsey's involvement in the Virgin Las Vegas hotel and casino.

“Spoke some things into the universe and they appeared...” . You always emphasized how important articulating a vision was to actually executing . We always planned to tell the story behind these pictures but didn’t get the chance to because we were busy executing on the next idea, and each successive opportunity got bigger and bigger... . This moment deserves sharing because this was a full circle moment. The significance and symbolism of this was profound for both of us because this was us realizing the American Dream at a high level; we took different paths, but both started with no money, connections or a legacy roadmap that got us to this moment. . This was about 4 months after our syndicate (@djkhaled, @luoldeng9, @rdpeebles) put in a bid for the Viceroy Santa Monica. We were unsuccessful in that but we still shared our attempt with the world. Some people were puzzled why we would share a “failure” but we knew... . A few weeks later, senior execs from Virgin Hotels reached out to Atlantic (@dallaslifestyle) to meet with us to see if we were serious about being in the hospitality space. We were 👌🏽 . This is the meeting a couple months later, that would result in us becoming partial owners, of not a hotel... But a resort and casino in the desert... . The Virgin Las Vegas coming 2020 #legend #facts #TheMarathonContinues 🏁
