Fans are livid after a video of a girl vandalizing a Nipsey Hussle mural hit the Internet.

The alleged teenager, who calls herself "Kay Kay," can be seen in the video, taken by a passerby, tagging a mural of the late rapper and activist in Hartford, Connecticut with her name and derogatory symbols.

Kay Kay also posted a photo of her vandalism saying, "Who’s a b*tch?! Not I. No disrespect to Corey y’all was coming out y’all mouths way too much so I did what I did." She also posed for selfies in front of her mural defacement. According to The Shade Room, the woman who recorded the video of Kay Kay as she defaced Nipsey's mural said the teen "blamed her actions on a disagreement she had with her boyfriend."

This disgusting and shameful incident is a far cry from the outpour of love and support fans have shown since Nipsey was gunned down outside his clothing store in Los Angeles on March 31. Most recently, Nipsey's tour manager, Jorge Peniche, announced on Instagram that he and his wife, Letty Martinez, welcomed a son and named him after Nipsey. Lauren London, Nipsey's longtime girlfriend, also honored him in a similar fashion by getting a tattoo of his face on her lower arm above the words "God will rise."

In addition to the love shown by those closest to him, Nipsey's fans and the South L.A. community have made it their mission to make sure his legacy lives on. Since his sudden death, Nipsey has been memorialized in his hometown of Crenshaw with multiple murals, a number of celebrations of his life, and the renaming of the intersection of Crenshaw Boulevard and Slauson Avenue to "Nipsey Hussle Square." Nipsey's philanthropic efforts were also made part of United States History.

Fans, including Lebron James, even recently started a Twitter campaign asking that Crayola rename one of its newest shades of blue to "Nipsey Blue," in the 33-year-old rapper and activist's honor.
