After the verdict, Herman “Cowboy” Douglas, a friend of Hussle, said he never called Holder a snitch and still wanted answers on why the rapper was shot.
“It was so senseless, why?” he asked, rhetorically.
Douglas said the conversation between Hussle and Holder “never got heated” that fateful day.
“I’m just sad, I miss my friend. He’s supposed to be here, he’s supposed to still be here. He was the underdog that made it,” said Douglas, who tested during the trial.
“I don’t wish death on people,” he said of Holder. “Give us some closure, let us know why.”
Hussle collaborated with dozens of artists during his career, including Kendrick Lamar, Drake, YG, Ty Dolla Sign, Meek Mill and Young Thug.
Holder is scheduled to be sentenced in September. CNN has reached out to his attorney for comment.
