Nipsey was murdered outside his clothing store on March 31, 2019. A man named Eric Holder was arrested and charged with the murder. He is set to be sentenced in the next couple of months.
As RadarOnline.com previously reported, Nipsey Hussle’s family is still dealing with the aftermath of the late rapper’s death.
The family has been battling Nipsey’s ex Tanisha Foster in court over custody of the musician’s 13-year-old daughter, Emani.
Nipsey left behind Emani, and a son named Kross who he had with his girlfriend Lauren London. The two children are the only beneficiaries of the estate and are expected to receive at least $2 million.
After Nipsey’s death, his brother Sam and sister Samantha obtained guardianship of Emani and have been taking care of her ever since. However, earlier this year, Tanisha went back to court demanding the guardianship be dissolved and custody be awarded to her.
She claimed to only agree to the guardianship in 2019 due to her “financial limitations.”
However, she said after the deal was reached with Nipsey’s family they started using their “financial position and influence to disregard their priorities by controlling the desires of Emani and Tanisha by withholding financial assistance and reducing visitation.”
Nipsey’s family has objected to the request claiming Tanisha is unsuitable to be Emani’s caretaker. A judge has yet to rule.
