Lauren London, the partner of late rapper Nipsey Hussle, continues to honor his legacy and keep his name alive. Recent reports reveal that the ATL star will receive a substantial settlement of $6 million on behalf of their son, Kross, and also be granted 50% ownership of Nipsey’s Marathon Clothing Company.

Last year an ongoing custody battle found the mother of Nipsey Hussle’s daughter filing to regain custody of her child and control of her estate. The estate claimed she admitted to issues with substance abuse and alcohol back in 2019. The Probate Investigator recommended that Tanisha not be appointed guardian due to alleged issues with alcohol, being unemployed at the time and having no stable housing. Now Nipsey’s family has finally been awarded control of the estate.
Radar Online reports:
Nipsey Hussle’s mother, brother, and sister scored a massive victory in court against his ex-girlfriend Tanisha Foster — with a judge ruling the family will control the estate for the late rapper’s daughter.
According to court documents obtained by RadarOnline.com, a hearing was held this week in the never-ending war between Nipsey’s family and Tanisha over 14-year-old Emani.
The judge ruled that Nipsey’s mom Angelique, his brother Sam, and sister Samantha will be co-guardians over Emani’s finances, including her $2 million+ inheritance.
Nipsey was murdered on March 31, 2019. He left behind Emani, and a son named Kross, who he had with his girlfriend Lauren London. The only beneficiaries of the musician’s estate were his two children.
Nipsey’s brother Sam was selected to manage the rapper’s estate which was valued at $4 million. Sam believes the estate will bring in another $4.7 million annually.
Following his death, Nipsey’s mom Angelique Smith, his brother Sam, and sister Samantha were appointed physical custody of Emani. The family claimed Tanisha was not fit to take care of the child.
In August 2021, Nipsey’s family filed a petition to be appointed guardians of Emani’s estate, which would allow them to control her inheritance and make investments with her money.
In their petition, the family argued, “Appointing Petitioners as the Guardians of Emani’s Estate will allow Petitioners to invest Emani’s share of the expected inheritance from her father’s estate.”
“Petitioners will manage Emani’s assets prudently and in Emani’s best interests until she reaches 18 years old,” the filing read.
Tanisha objected to the petition. She demanded the court deny the request and allow her to take over control of Emani’s estate – and regain custody.
In her filing, Tanisha claimed at the time of his death, Nipsey and her were on good terms. She said they shared custody, but Nispey took care of their bills because of his “far superior economic powers.”
Tanisha said Nipsey never tried to take legal custody of Emani from her during his lifetime. She claimed the rapper had been paying for her apartment before his death — but his family cut her off after his murder.
Nipsey’s ex admitted she entered into an agreement to allow the musician’s family to have custody of Emani in 2019. However, she said her “motivation for doing so was” due to her “financial limitations” at the time.
DJ Drama‘s Gangsta Grillz series has had a resurgence in the last couple of years. Already multiple projects in this year, including his own album, DJ Drama revealed to XXL who else he would love to work with.
“I’ve had the conversation with Stove God [Cooks],” Drama said. “I would love to do a project with him. I think a GloRilla ‘Gangsta Grillz’ would be fire. Maybe even like Ice Spice or maybe Lady London. So many dope females out there.
“Obviously, a lot of people have always wanted the EST Gee Gangsta Grillz. Don’t get me started, so many people. I mean, would love to do a Brent Faiyaz ‘Gangsta Grillz.’ It is endless. I think that’s one thing that’s dope and potent about ‘Gangsta Grillz.’ It’s a platform and gross-generational.”
Drama would also reveal the Gangsta GrillzDe La Soul project hasn’t gained a lot of traffic yet. “There’ve been a lot of conversations, especially between me and Pos[dnuos], something that we’ve talked about for the last, like two, two-and-a-half years and really trying to bring it to fruition.”
"I think a GloRilla Gangsta Grillz would be fire. Maybe even like Ice Spice or maybe Lady London. A lot of people have always wanted the EST Gee Gangsta Grillz."
DJ Drama is delivering back-to-back MVP-caliber years. In March, the mixtape legend and iconic DJ and producer have released his sixth studio album, I’m Really Like That.
The album follows the street single “Forever,” which brings in a group of Hip-Hop elite in KRS-One, Jim Jones, Fabolous, Benny the Butcher, and Capella Grey, paying homage to the late and legendary DJ Kay Slay.
“I’m excited to share this project with the world,” says DJ Drama. “I’ve worked hard on this album, and I’m proud of what we’ve accomplished. I’m grateful to all the artists who lent their talents to the project and my fans who have been rocking with me since day one.”

NBA star Russell Westbrook jumped on social media with his wife, going through a bracket of the best rappers of all time. The Cali native made it a point to say that Nipsey Hussle was the best on the list, above Nas, Jay-Z, Eminem, Ice Cube, Redman, Lil Wayne, and the Notorious B.I.G.
Westbrook also put Ice Cube above Redman in the brackets, and Dr. Dre ranked higher than Biggie. The bracket came down to Nipsey and Hov, to which, of course, the Cali native chose Nip.

On Feb. 22, 2023, Eric Holder, the man convicted of taking the life of rap superstar Nipsey Hussle, was sentenced to 50 years to life in prison. Still, a clip from his sentencing is now going viral, showing his lawyer pleading to the judge about Holder’s harsh reality to be faced in prison.
Holder was also given another ten years for assault with a firearm for shooting two people the same day that he gunned down Hussle. L.A. County Superior Court Judge H. Clay Jacke II said of Holder, “I am mindful of what was presented as to Mr. Holder’s mental health. I am also mindful of the devastation caused to the victims and their families. I believe this sentence balances the two.”
A clip from his sentencing has now surfaced, showing Holder’s lawyer pleading for the 33-year-old, an L.A. native, to be housed in protective custody in state prison, as his future in any correctional facility is bleak.
Holder’s lawyer can be heard in the video saying, “Once he gets to state prison, he’s a target. There’s a green light on him from all the gangs. All the people that love Nipsey Hussle. And so, his life in prison is going to be hell … for as long as it lasts.”
