Nipsey Hussle’s sister was denied temporary guardianship of her brother’s daughter, Emani Esghedom. Samantha Smith tried to get an emergency order granting her temporary guardianship over the late rapper’s daughter but a judge denied the request.
According to court documents obtained by The Blast, the judge denied Samantha Smith‘s request to be appointed Emani’s temporary guardian because the child is not in immediate danger and Emani’s mother was not given fair notice of the hearing.
The ruling stated, “No urgency demonstrated for granting this relief prior to hearing on May 14th.”
The judge also added that Emani’s mother, Tanisha Asghedom, must be given notice of the hearing.
As The Blast first reported, Smith filed a request for guardianship earlier this week, saying she has “always been a presence in Emani’s life and along with the rest of Emani’s paternal family has assisted in her care.”
Smith, pictured speaking at her brother’s funeral earlier this month, wanted to become Emani’s legal guardian to ensure that she can make legal custody decisions regarding Emani and “to ensure that she can continue to live with family members with whom she has always had close ties.”
Emani lived part-time with her father, Nipsey, before he was killed in March.
Yea.. wat was the emergency sis & wat was the rush/urgency??
This is getting stanky. Don’t trust that other baby mudda. Make it stop. Ev!lness is at an all time high for money. Janky.
Duh! How does an aunt…a ratchet one at that think she’s going to just snatch that baby from her mother? That woman was Nipsey’s high school sweetheart and he dated her for like ten years. Everyone says she’s ratchet but I checked out her Instagram (ChynaHussle) and she seems like your average mom, posting selfies, pictures of food. She’s fully clothed. This gangsta aunt just wants money.
She must not get along w/Tanisha & thought this was the only way to see her niece regularly. I’m trying not to assume she did it for $ control, but article say she lived w/Nip part time.
People are posting utube stories showing pic of her with eric h3ller (holder) that she took off.
Is the mother really unfit or is this about money?
They seem to all run in the same circles. How was anyone to know the psycho was going to shoot Nipsey down and then kick him in the head?
The mom I would not say is unfit but she has a bunch of kids that she started having VERY young so you can say she is still very young minded and not living a life suitable for her kids. I do believe she loves her daughter but she hasn’t really had to put much effort into being a parent because she has had peoples help due to the fact that she was a really young mom maybe 13 when she had her oldest. Nips family definitely stepped up and pretty much raised Emani. She lived with Nip full-time and his family plays big rolls in her life.
Neither just… young minded and never really had a huge roll in raising Emani, She’s been with Nips family since like 4 full time.
Ion know but I can picture her sitting back mad, hating. So she “supposedly” dated eric.Probably made him feel like ish. No man syndrome. You got to have haters on lock.
Thanks, i was about to ask what was her ig name. I’m going to check it out.
You must be looking at a totally different Instagram, she definitely have pictures showing body, boobs and ass all that! Syrup, pills and weed. But that’s neither here nor there. I’m just trying to figure out how you got that his sister was Ratchet? https://media3.giphy.com/media/BpadRS0HKJ7Irh150L/giphy.gif
They All From The Same Neighborhood & I’m Sure Went To School & Grew Up Together. California Gang Life Is Basically The Area You Grew Up In Is The Gang You Claim. People Mothers Fathers & Grandparents Be In The Same Gang From Growing Up In That Area Generations Ago.
Like the Ojays said it’s that mean,mean green
I hate plotting as people . She got that plot face right dang now on that pic. Good job Sandra….
A cousin of hers posted the court papers from like 2013 or something and it shows the days nip were to have the girl and the papers clearing stated BOTH parents have custody
My son’s father did an advertisement in Henry County, GA newspaper for emergency temporary custody of my son. They gave him a court date, and then emergency temporary custody. We didn’t even live in the same STATE! He said I abandoned my son with him when I had always had him. Then he tried to have me arrested when I wouldn’t turn him over. Long story short, it was turned over to a detective, they called the judge, and they gave me custody back. He never even saw the boy. Maybe she should more to GA. They clearly do stupid shit.
Plot face ? ?
“No weapon that is form against me shall prosper” Gon Somewhere Sam!!!
Misconduct
* bangs gavel
Hate faced. She gon play people into believing her story, like she’s innocent. Watch….Don’t trust no quiet mf’er.
She thinks Nip’s custody is transferable to her, lol. Aunts get no custodial rights when parent(s) is alive & sane.
It’s not the courts fault that your bd lied, if Nips sister claimed the mother couldn’t be found & filed notice in the newspaper… same result in any state
Well they can still play a role but WITHOUT the money
Her daughter is getting the money period
Sis had burnt blunt lips and teeth.
Awe okay.So I guess the sista keep her until she’s old enough to claim it.
Lord I pray Emani’s care is placed in the right hands. ?? This poor baby don’t need to deal with anyone’s foolishness!!! I hope her fathers spirit is looking over her and guiding the way.
The aunt looks like a gutter rat just like the mama.
I’m not sure what the aunt was up to. I don’t know if she wanted the child as a way of holding onto her brother, if she saw something inappropriate, or if she wanted to secure the bag. That is if there really is a bag. But I hope the family continues to stay in this child’s life, and provide a good standard of guidance, and not any gang banging or hood ratchet foolishness. Hopefully Nipsey’s death is a wake up call for the whole family.
For his sister to go behind her back and do that..she foul!!
Nippsey posed up with same dude matter of fact he saw this guy the day he died
What in the sam hell made her think she could just get guardianship while the other parent is still living? Even IF Nipsey had LEGAL primary custody (actual court ordered custody, not a verbal agreement between him and the child’s mother), the child would still be given back to the living parent or put in foster care while DFCS put forth every effort to restore the living parent’s custodial rights. Only in the most extreme cases of documented, repeated abuse and neglect would a child be permanently removed from their birth parent.
This is why marriage IS important. If her mother was unfit she should be with her stepmom and sibling but Lauren would stand no chance
The momma is a thief. K!ll, steal and destroy, baby.
I just can’t get out of my mind Nipsey’s sister hanging out that car when I went to the procession/
Throwing up gang sign I bet.
Totally disrespectful…but she’s about that life
Sad to say but this probably has a lot to do with money as much as anything else. This is what happens when affairs are not in order. I know you can’t plan for a sudden young death but Nipsey did not marry Lauren and the mom and her daughter are just as entitled to any fortunes Nipsey left behind as Lauren and her child. The daughter will probably actually see the money before Lauren because she’s older and the first born.
That was weird .
How is it not the court fault ? School records and attendance if the child was school would have told them if he was abandoned . If she left the child how could she turn him over . The child wouldn’t have been in her care .
Um… is this how this works?
As great as ppl want Nipsey to be, he was still a crip with two baby mamas and no wife, which I don’t respect bc a true legend leaves an honorable and respectful legacy for his children upon his untimely death.
And there is nothing honorable about a damn gang banging set claiming sister trying to get guardianship so they can insure they will still see the daughter.
It’s sad, but that’s the chance u take when your family planning is messy.
But C world, cuh!!!
Even tho it was cuz that killed him..
CLOWNS
He had enough sense to buy land but couldn’t figure out the true wealth in having children with one woman whom he is married to?
I can’t take any new wave wealth builder seriously who doesn’t know this basic principle.
?
Cam and his lady are listening.
Get your affairs in order especially involving children and money.
girl no.
So in situations like this, the eldest would get the money first????
If no will the estate goes totally to the children…50/50 split it’s 2 children… into a trust until 18
Plus I don’t think she would try and keep the girl from his side of the family especially if she didn’t do it all this time but now since that sister done carried on idk
No
Cam Newton I’m losing respect for
“always been a presence in Emani’s life and along with the rest of Emani’s paternal family has assisted in her care.”
****
In other words, Nipsey didn’t marry Lauen so his sister needs to file for guardianship to keep the kids together. I hate to say this, with respect to the devastation of the situation, but Nipsey and Lauren should have been married and made each other legal stepparents. They were raising these children together, but Emani is Tanisha’s child and Camron is Wayne’s. A judge would be less likely to break up children raised together in a married home.
Money. I bet this boils down to his estate. Emani is the oldest, so technically, she (and brother) trump everyone else. If Sis becomes guardian of the child, they don’t have to include mom business or money wise. The court will so appoint someone to rep the children’s interest. His mom, Lauren, etc have little control of that for sure once Emani turns 18. SMH.
Nice try though.
I noticed that when parents don’t really have to step up and parent, they continue to have more kids that they can’t take care of.
Emani’s mom better get a lawyer cuz her daughter has more say than parents, sibling, and baby mama Lauren. I know kids can’t make decision and sign docs, but you better know her well being had nothing to do with this. They realize their hands will be tied cuz in the end, Emani’s mom will have to be included to rep her daughter on business matters for Nipsey (through the estate). Kids trump all others.
Example, Michael Jackson. IDK who the executor is/will be for Nipsey, but the kids will come first.
Is this Nip real sister? Like same mom and dad or just same dad? Cause when Sam spoke and pictures of them growing up, it was just him and Nip. I need answers on these family ties.
This is what his daughter’s mother has been trying to say, but in her way.
God forgive me but I didn’t understand his sister and Lauren’s dresses with the very low cut necklines.
That’s still a real sister…there’s no difference either they share one or both parents
Same Mom only… Still makes her their sister
But he chose to procreate with her and he never sought custody.
Oh I know it does. I was just wondering because again she wasn’t spoke of in that context when talking about him and Sam. I also just read her Instagram and she said thanks for choosing me. So I was just curious. Same mom it is!!
Very aware of there being no difference! Thanks!
Good, I’m glad she was denied. She doesn’t want the money to go to the mother.
If Nipsey had of had a will he could have divided the assets amongst his mother sister and Lauren but your right of Lauren was his wife she would entitled to his whole estate.
I didn’t see that. I’m going to Google it.
How you just gonna file something like that in court and not consult or reach out to the mother? #messy
Ha. Ha. Ok. That makes sense.
This is so messy and just wrong.
Ok
Welp…. This crap is going to be sadly entertaining. Here we go… Ghetto folks can’t do things peacefully for the sake of the kids! This was only the beginning!
This bish is never gonna see her neicy again if she keeps this up
That’s a half-sister. Physically and genetically, there are many differences.
Henry County smh….I had my son there. Hope his crazy daddy doesnt try this. But i got documentation that he never legitimized our son so I have SOLE custody. Sorry to hear about that. I hate how they fight fod the child but as soon as they get what they want they send them to they mama house smh!
Not true. Emani’s mother is alive. The court leans toward the mother even if she’s unfit. They will put her in treatment, counselling…whatever.
Sad to say this! Too many people are hood married in spirit !!
There have been several pictures publicly posted of their childhood with her in them. Of course shes younger than the brothers, so……
She was with Nipsey since she was 16. I only see one child on Instagram. When did she have all these children? Nipsey must have been fine with it because he stayed with her for more than ten years.
I’m speaking of legal definition. The law does not distinguish on half
I looked at ChynaHussle.
She didnt lose, she just was not granted an EMERGENCY order. Based on the wording, it appears their is a May 14 court date.
Preach??????
I’ll look again. Her IG seemed tamed compared to thots like Cardi B.
The sister was doing too much too fast! Can’t they talk it through first …my goodness! I’m glad the next court date is after mother’s day..maybe some kind of consensus can be made. I still can’t see nor understand a mother just giving up her child especially now that the father is gone.
He just did it to be mean spirited for some reason. He was actually seeing him on a regular basis. I have sole custody too. He hasn’t even ever tried for visitation since it happened. It’s been like 6 years now. We’re good. Less stress on me.
That first sentence took me out
I don’t know anything about this kind of issues so I have a question, can the person that gets custody of the girl gets the money and I mean, is she gonna be able to spend it or is the judge gonna put it in an account until she turns 18 and no one will be able to touch it. Cause from what I heard, her mama is a drug addict who goes from men to men and I know for a fact she will spend it all before her daughter turns 18.
Billboard awards fashion post please Auntie ?
Thats what i looked at and she is covered up from what i saw. I went back to 2017. I didn’t see what the other poster did.
What court of law are you going by??? Hoodwinked Superior Court… Stepparents have NO say as long as there is a birth mother. If Tanisha did not exist it would go to her mother, then Nips mom. A judge will break that up because the stepparent has no rights after a spouse is deceased!
It was in the very beginning of the procession near the staples center.
Exchanging rings with no ceremony, certificate, or CLUE! ????? #Hoodrangements sans an official!
The bbma were so good. Jeez….
Who is she LOL…she’s not a parent or a grandparent…lawdy….
Ahhh ya think… the little girl has a mother who is alive and well smh . Im sure nipsy wouldn’t have cosigned this. ?
U know 4 a fact? So u can predict the future?
No…yes
So the mom does have custody? I thought she didn’t have custody of her 3 kids….
You better preach and teach our people, esp Black women poppin out babies w/ no marriage!. If we cant see our low ranking in EVERY category in the world is not linked to babies being born into chaos and poverty w/ no traditional family structure, we are FOREVER doomed as a people. #Facts
It’s Not a coincidence that the BILLIONAIRES of the world are usually married. Maybe a few times, but the structure and legalities are established for each marriage and resulting kids. Black women deserve the title of wife just like white, Asian, and Mexican women do. F babymomma culture…
Just damn trifling…..
This is so sad. Really no escape.
Say it again… but after reading some of these comments you might ruffle some feathers..lol…
I wonder why Nip never married Lauren ? Something tells me he was still sweet on his first BM. The way the public is trying to play her is quite sad. I read her and Nip had joint custody. So why is his sister trying to straight up take the daughter away from her mother ? It’s definitely about money.
I almost melted into my couch reading this ! Thank you !!! He should have married Lauren ! Lauren ain’t gonna be able to have a lot of wiggle room because she’s not his widow. She can claim that “life partner” sh*t all she wants. The courts don’t recognize/honor that!
I strictly believe in having children *after* marriage. Obviously that wasn’t their case, but he should have married her to ensure she and the kids were good. Then maybe the courts would have turned over his shared custody of Emani to Lauren !
They should keep his money out of the court if they can.
I 1000% agree with you! All black women deserve to be a wife of loving, protective, strong, providing MAN.
Lmao ! She really does. Looks just as hood. It’s obvious they have different dads. She looks nothing like Nip and Sam, but she does look like their mom.
Well, hopefully it all works out for the child’s best interest! Most judges take parental rights very seriously!
But legalities have to be performed. This mom is entitled to child support.
A judge might feel, if it was safe for Emani to be with her mom part-time and her dad part-time, how much danger was she actually in?
The mom obviously has strong ties with some family members that she didn’t come to the memorial or sell any stories to ZMT!
Best wishes and outcomes for all involved!
I say give the girl to her mom. The child has a trust fund.
HIS 1ST BABY MAMA HAS TOTALLY MOVED ON JUST LIKE HE DID. SHE’S BEEN HAD A NEW MAN THAT SHE POST ON HER IG. NIPSEY LIKE MOST DUDES ESP STREET DUDES DON’T RUSH INTO MARRYING B/C THE WOMEN PLAY WIFE AND ACCEPT & DROWN IN BEING CALLED WIFEY W/O THE RING AND MARRIAGE BUT THE WAY HE TALKED ABOUT LAUREN IN INTERVIEWS AND IN POST TO HER YOU COULD TELL HE REALLY LOVED HER…….JENNY JONES!!!
AND I TOO BELIEVE CONTROL OF INHERITANCE IS PLAYING A ROLE IN HIS SISTER’S REQUEST ALONG WITH LOVE TOO. I’M SURE NIP’S FAMILY DOESN’T WANT TO LOSE CONTACT AND THE CLOSENESS WITH EMANI ESP AFTER SPENDING SO MUCH TIME WITH HER WHEN NIP WAS ALIVE……..JENNY JONES!!!
Her mother lost custody of all three of her kids. She is unfit. Why should she be with her?
The mom does not have custody
But she doesn’t have custody of any of her 3 kids. Alive and well doesn’t mean fit
THANK YOU
The mother doesn’t have custody so I doubt that
They just have a new court date and the mom doesn’t have custody of any of her three kids so why should she get one child now when she was deemed unfit
It could also be the fact that the mother has BEEN deemed unfit and doesn’t have custody of any of her 3 kids
The court deemed Tanisha unfit to have any of her three kids tho
But Tanisha didn’t have custody of Emani or her other kids
Because the other patent LOST custody of her 3 kids including Emani
Samantha didn’t do anything wrong. Her brother had custody of Emani. Tanisha lost custody of all 3 of her kids. So why would she want her niece to go back to an unfit mother???
Nip and his brother were business partners and Nip had an insurance policy so money wise the family are not going to hurt. Sam will take care of everyone as he has.
The court date WAS MOVED and she didn’t lose
EXACTLY why I “pshhhh” EVERY comment stating:
1) A bond is better than a title
2) Marriage is nothing but a piece of paper
3) Kids from 2-parent households only have a $$ advantage
When things need to be handled, that bond doesn’t help much. Now suppose Tanisha’s PARENTS want sole custody? If she ok’d it, and they could very well get it & KEEP Emani from the Asghedoms & spend whatever inheritance she has how THEY see fit! Tricky ish w/out those pieces of paper….
You will be ACCOSTED by your own people @the thought of babies FOLLOWING a marriage! I get it all the TIME bc of my comments, but I reFUSE to accept this single-parenthood as our new NORMAL – NOPE! The kids deserve better, even if YOU don’t know you deserve better! I came from a 2-parent home, & I’m raising my babies in one. I made it PERFECTLY CLEAR from day ONE – no ring, NO BABIES, & even then, we waited almost 5 yrs to start! They post up about how having money makes it different, even used Diddy as an example – I said if his daughter is in ATL needing him & the twins want him by their side in Cali, who’s he gonna choose? My parents never had to make such a choice – I had them BOTH & my kids have the same.
We are QUEENS!!!! Stop allowing these men to degrade us! I don’t look down on single parent homes, bc they often become that way thru circumstance, but I CERTAINLY wouldn’t advocate willingly raising your child in a 1-parent home. NOT EVER.
Lauren’s not entitled, her son is.
Emani will technically have the ability to CONTROL her portion first bc of her age, but the amounts will be equal.
I almost died when the camera pulled byke and I saw Terry Crews fireman boots. He can be a tad annoying. Iono what was goingz on with Retardi’s entire asz. Russell was dressed down.
His sister is out of her lane and she does not seem anymore fit than the Babymama.
She probably is or was the caregiver or babysitter, which is the reason why she thinks this makes sense.
I would think the Grandparents would step in first, if their was really an issue.
Right. But they burned sage, tho so they are black elite. ?
Lauren is a bird, and the defense of her speaks loudly to how low black people think of themselves and how totally behind we are in the true meaning and actions of wealth building.
Exactly!
They have black women and children out here looking like trash. It’s no coincidence we are the most missing and killed, bc police wont put the resources in to find us, and murderers know it so we are targeted.
I just told this idiot w four children by 4 women that his daughters have a higher chance of being murdered, coming up missing, contracting HIV or being a drug addict than graduating from an Ivy League school. And that increases dramatically by the fact he isn’t in the home with them.
He started crying smh
Screw crying, black men and women WAKE TF UP this is truly life or death.
Agreed. But unlikely to happen when u make trashy family planning decisions.
People really need to consider who they have children with…prime example of should u die young and unexpectedly, now your child’s only parent is allegedly unfit?
They make poor choices so now your child is around a steady stream of bf’s/gf’s of questionable backgrounds and motives?
This is sloppy and children deserve better.
According to the paperwork that was posted on line it showed that the mother and nip had primary custody it even had the days he were to get the girl so I’m confused when ppl say she lost custody
Exactly.
He had enough knowledge about wealth building to know a married man earns more, is more respected, and should he die, it would be an easier and less costly exchange of his wealth to his children and other intended.
He didn’t marry Lauren bc he didn’t want to ?????
Even their interviews come off as a man who was caught cheating and is now placating the gf to get her off his back so he won’t be separated from his child.
We see this all the time with public displays of affection by men on social media who have women that value others opinions more so than their true reality.
Look at that LONG text she sent him while she was right next to him, and watching him while he was asleep…the men who did this to me were batshit crazy…by her own admission she said he told her people can’t be owned…she comes off as possessive and into him more than he was to her.
AMEN! Sad when we accept undesirable, unhealthy and unstable behaviors. It shouldn’t be normalized.
Amen!
Well said!
They are not taking this child from her mother and giving her to his sister. The mother is also within her right if she does not want her child raised by Lauren.
The daughter lived with her father part time to be with her father and by virtue of visitation she lived part time with her half sibling, spiritual sibling, and her father’s girlfriend.
Now that her father has passed away, the family structure and dynamic has changed. Nipsey did not marry Lauren and make her a legal stepparent. And his daughter’s mother is within her right if she does not want her child to be raised by Lauren.
Just because his family likes the famous actress baby mom better than the day one hood baby mom, doesn’t mean they get to take his daughter from her mother.
The judge is going to give the mother full custody of her child, ample child support, and give visitation to Nipsey’s parents. His parents’s visitation time will serve as family and siblings time.
Hopefully the two mothers can maintain the children’s bond. But his daughter’s mother doesn’t sound open to being on friendly terms with Lauren.
I’m not sure why folks feel like it is some right type of passage for Lauren to have married him. She has her own money and we all knew of her years before we ever heard of him. I’m still not that familiar with him. Doesn’t she have a new show on BET?
1) Doesn’t Lauren have her on money? Why would she need to be scrapping for his estate?
2) It doesn’t seem like Lauren is seeking any form of custody in this case
3) Why would Lauren need to marry if she has her own money to protect? I’m sure I heard she has a new show coming out
But didn’t she have shared custody of the girl?
She trying to make sure the mom don’t get none of nipsey money…petty ass hell
First certified comment I’ve read so far. An executive of the estate will be appointed and then everything you stated.
The way I see it an executive of the estate will be appointed. Each child will receive a monthly stipend equivalent to child support. Each child will receive an inheritance once the child reaches the age of 18.
I do believe he was planning to marry Lauren..they were on and off for unknown reasons but, im sure since they recently reignited the flame they both may have been gearing towards that. Sadly his future plans were cut short. Yes he has a past but what was and is honorable about him is that he was pursuing a positive change from that lifestyle. We all make mistakes and fall short, I just respect that atleast he was trying to do better for himself and all those he loved and respected.
Good!!! The Sister should take care of her own damn child!!!
I agree, the judge will move in the mom’s favor, unless there’s other undisclosed factors!
I hope the mom proves everyone wrong, not at the expense of the child! She will be under intense scrutiny, but because she share a daughter with NH, it inadvertently gives her a seat at the table!
I believe Emani may very well follow in her dad’s footsteps, in some major fashion, and in 5 years or so, have a voice of her own, if not sooner! His family will nurture her regardless of parental rights or custody!
off topic: i know lauren is now realizing the difference between legal marriage and spiritual marriage. she has no say in none of his affairs even though they had some sort of ceremony , they never filed the paperwork tho for marriage
i agree with the judge. no matter how you feel about the mother, that was bytch move. now you have no good will with tanisha, who is prolly already getting calls from greedy lawyers to represent her because this is high profile, and she is gonna retain her custody, because contrary to what people are saying, she had JOINT LEGAL *AND* PHYSICAL.
Thank you…Wills was one of my favorite classes in law school
But why would she want to? We all knew of her wayyy before we ever heard of him. I’m still not that familiar with him. Furthermore that woman has her own money. I recently read that she has a new tv show on BET. For all I know maybe she didn’t marry to protect her money.
if lauren has a mother, i’m sure this was discussed at many a sunday table lol. she just wanted to be with him. that whole cow and milk thing. everybody thinks they are gonna live forever. i had a friend who lived with a dude for many years (we were in our 20s). they finally broke up and she chased the hell outta that MF. i kept asking her why she could not move on. all she could say was never move in with a man and play the “wife” role because you give everything to that man. contrary to that, my grandma always told me to “shack up” at least one year before marrying so i could know what i was dealing with. sooo, i would say maybe a year or so but then i gotta have some papers.
as much as she claimed to love him i doubt money was a factor, plus, he seemed to have the potential to really make al ot according to his business interest and his music was just becoming mainstream…..
I’m confused, I looked up the net worth of both and they both seem to pretty much have equal value yet folks seem to be painting it as if she’s a money chaser solely based on her gender. That is stereotyping and completely ignoring that woman’s work over decades. She has a name in her own right. It is my humble opinion that she had a higher potential given her role as executive producer of TV programming unless I read the article wrong. It just doesn’t make sense to me why people feel she needed to lock his money down through the vehicle of marriage when she already has her own money. With all due respect I greatly respect the work that man had done but I barely knew of him prior to. Oprah doesn’t need to be married because she has her own. Same for Tryra and a host of other women. Today there are a lot of independent women out there who don’t depend on a man for financing. I respect that.
Exactly.
Agreed! She seemed quite comfortable being a baby mama times two. This had to be a wake up call.
where are you seeing the mother lost custody of emani?
Lauren has a white Jewish dad. This was DEFINITELY discussed many many times. Her parents and family were not at the memorial service for the passing of the father of their grandson. I imagine they were not pleased with her choice of situation. I’m sure they have feared Lauren’s youngest son’s father’s affiliations and associations.
marriage confers legal rights, not just money.
What rights might have been sought on her part? She has her own money and now she has sole custody of their child. If anything it would have made more sense to suggest he hung his hat on Lauren given she had an established name in the industry when they met. Seems to be a lot of misogynist stereotyping afoot.
yeah, im taking money out of this cause she was with him for years when he was just some grimy rapper from the hood. im not labeling her money hungry cause we all know she couldve had any man she wanted. she wanted HIM and loved him and it showed, she wanted to be his wife (she said it all the time) but some people dont care about legal stuff until its too late.
oh wow! damn.
Wake up call in what regard? That woman has her own money, new TV show, and we all have known about her for decades before we ever heard of him.
not really. the only topic here is marriage. not money. my initial point wasnt to suggest that she shouldve married him based on getting money. but to have a hand in his final affairs that she was around for for years, and just be disregarded as the girlfriend/baby mama
I hear u.
But my thing is this- he was far more honorable towards his efforts for financial change when true honor starts at home with your children.
We can speculate whether he was going to marry that woman or not, fact is, he didn’t. Fact is, he was a very decisive, intelligent, and action oriented man. Yet here we are and here his children are being left in a ghetto ass financial and custody balance to be decided by courts, just like any common ghetto minded bum.
But what affairs? It would make more sense to me to assume she had a leg up on any properties they may have shared given her money is older than his. So I’m not sure what affairs we are speaking of.
Exactly. People have been putting lipstick on this pig since Nipsey passed.
When fact is, she is a two time baby mama, he has two baby mamas, and his ghetto mentality towards family planning is weighing far more heavily than his finance ideals. Bc what is wealth if u don’t take inheritance seriously?
That is YOUR truth. Oprah is a billionaire. A marriage certificate would put her in a bond that equates to a bind. That is HER truth which is just as valid and respected as your truth. Your life and experience have set you on a different course in life in comparison to others. You can’t speak on THEIR truth because you don’t know what they have been through.
you keep speaking on this man as if he had nothing going on cause you havent heard of him. yes, he had affairs, businesses, music royalties etc. i get he wasnt jay z, but he wasnt a nobody
So he didn’t have a will?
So he didn’t have a will?
If I were in a long term relationship, had a child with, and made a home with a man, I would not accept him not marrying me. Especially, with another baby mom carrying his name and he never protesting the other baby mom carrying his name. Nipsey had loyalties to his daughter’s mother.

Yes, with all due respect I just didn’t know much about him other than him being her man. Now that I have learned more about him his work gives me pride.

tell em again
does oprah have a kid we don’t know about?
that’s true. we were engaged before we moved in together. even after shacking up, that first year of marriage…whew!
A child would definitely complicate her wealth in terms of a man not earning a fraction of her wealth could become entitled to a portion of it.
where is her money going? to her dogs? gail? stedman is a fool if he was with her for like 30 years.
Doesn’t matter Oprah earned her billions. It’s her money to do with as she sees fit. She is not legally beholden to a man via a marriage certificate. It’s Oprah’s to spend as she pleases. That means dogs or just throwing it into the ocean just because she feels like it.
she sent the child with nipsey so she could do what she wanted. if the child is primarily with her now, and the siblings are chomping at the bit for custody, she might clean herself up.
if i was tanisha, they would have to talk to my lawyer from this point on. if tanisha doesn’t have one, she better get one.
If the mother believe she can provide a better situation I say let her believe it. That mother haven’t been taking that girl to school, doing her hair, and providing day to day meals she’s been with her dad and his family. I say give the girl to her mom and when she’s 18 if she want to be with nips people full time she can and will.
lol she did it in the funeral limo with lauren too. her daddy prolly taught her that shyt. it’s true that they’re trying to make nip and lauren brand new when, at its core, nip is a gang member and lauren got two kids by two dudes from different gangs lol. it tis what it tis.
The mom isn’t entitled to any money. Her child has trust fund and can get social security check. Nip brother is and was his business partner so none of that go to his kids unless there was a written agreement. Only married women without pre-nups are entitled to a dead man’s estate.
Stedman never divorced his first wife and steadman is a millionaire.
Only shack up after marriage. I refused to give my condo up before my husband married me. Anything can happen and then u are stuck tryna pay for movers, first month deposits, and first month rent. Why inconvenience yourself like that?
This whole situation should teach black women a valuable lesson, get married. Even with a pre-nup u can still get something for your troubles.
Yes millionaire, NOT Oprah-esque billionaire. Kudos to that woman for not being starry eyed and feeling the need to get married for social status. Keep your billions to yourself girl. That man did not earn it and he not entitled to your billions just because he’s your man.
Your statement is an emotional truth.
I speak from a standpoint of wealth building, dear.
What I have said may rub you the wrong way or hurt your feelings, but it’s financial facts and black children deserve to be properly and respectfully regarded and taken care of.
Hopefully, one day you will understand this.
It is an “evidential” truth. You can not speak on that which you have not experienced.
Same thing I said. I can almost guarantee u his family is in and out of the home they shared packing up chit and even if they allow Lauren to stay in that home she will not be allowed to have men there. A lot of black ppl be having show weddings but don’t really be married. I personally know 2 people who had show weddings. Those long engagements are foolish as u can see no one is guaranteed tomorrow.
Confusing Right? I dont get the correlation either
Why a pig? What did I miss?
You do realize Oprah can marry her male equivalent, right?
Marrying down isn’t a must.
And how smart is JHud really when should she die tomorrow and her baby daddy is known as unfit, her own family and child will struggle emotionally and legally to divide time with the child and her finances?
Children deserve honor and respect. Parents fail to realize how their decisions cause children to walk into spaces already being written off as trash.
It’s a niggardly mindset.
THAT DAUGHTER IS GORGEOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Bottom line that is her child not his sister. That is good that the daughter spent half the time with her father a lot of children don’t get even close to being with their dad. That arrangement was with those two not anyone else. She may dislike her but bottom line that is not her child.
Oprah couldn’t get starry eyed, Stedman is still married to his first wife. He is just enjoying the perks while saving his millions.
Right. She is taking this personal and can’t reason.
It’s bizarre when people confuse emotions with facts, there is no progress in that.
Why would Lauren fight for a home? I wouldn’t be shocked to learn she might be able to afford several homes. That woman has her own loot. A lot of these comments seem to be based on the assumption that women are gold diggers. If anything the argument should be inverted given her loot is much older than his.
Why is everything always about wealth building?
Never said she doesn’t have her own money. Being a live in girlfriend as u can see is a big time inconvenience once the lover die. I’m married and I wish my husband family would come near my home, cars, and bank accounts.
Am I missing something? Was Nipsey a billionaire?
As you are now? Why do you assume I haven’t experienced it?
I can speak on it from several standpoints.
Aside from that, is evidence of failure not enough for you? I’d at least partially agree with you if the detrimental affects of broken homes weren’t so prevalent and destructive collectively.
But they are…
They say he may be worth 200 million
Reason and deducing logic are distinct. From my perspective your logic simply doesn’t compute. If anything it should be inverted given it is a fact that her money is older than his. I suspect some the comments are misogynistic in nature.
We all are imperfect humans. I’m sure u have lipstick on a pig situations going on now or in the past.
That is your definition of honor and respect. Others aren’t required to adapt your truth. My truth is different than yours. Still, I respect your right to your truth which you can’t impose upon others. It is not your role in life to force your truth in life down others throat.
Well good for Oprah then. Have fun at it girl!
I would have granted the same. You can’t just take someone’s child because she spends the night over ur house sometimes or because she lived with her dad part-time, or because you bought her toys and clothes. that’s makes no sense. If that’s the case everybody should have joint custody of their friends kids, baby daddy kids, grandkids etc nieces and nephews.. Now if the child had unexplainable bruises or stories of physical or verbal abuse by the other parent or her boyfriend etc maybe she would have a leg to stand on. But apparently Nipsey didn’t think his child was in harms way because she lived with him only part-time and had no problems taking her back home to his baby momma. You would think maybe Lauren would be fighting for custody but she may not want to deal with the baby momma I’m sure…..I think this is all about the almighty dollar!!!!
I would hope you wouldn’t speak from a place of having zero experience. You seem smarter than that. Am I mistaken?
don’t waste anymore time with this.
Fair enough.
I think it isn’t computing for you because I’m speaking from a wealth building perspective when children are involved that are black in America, which comes with so many more increased risks…
And I am a woman who doesn’t subscribe to any ideal that, no matter how warm, fuzzy or common, simply isn’t working collectively.
I agree. Now that they have access to Nipsey’s money they’re getting a little overconfident. I’m glad the judge shut that down.
Agreed. Let’s agree to live in our own truths. I respect all y’all owning your own truth.
Access. Opportunity. Protection.
To name a few..
I sincerely hope you are not teaching girls to engender themselves with wealth by hitching themselves to a man. “god help us all”.
It’s a figure of speech, as in trying to make something superficially pretty that is, in fact, deep rootedly ugly.
in some pictures, she looks JUST LIKE her daddy. it’s crazy.
I just want to put this out there.. there are other legal ways to have all of those things. Its called a Living Trust. That can hold ALL of your assets, businesses, insurance policies etc without probate. You can even specify guardianship of children & pets. White people have been doing this for ages & I’m positive many mistresses & baby mamas have lived better than the wives. we are not as privy to the same information. That’s why so many women feel the need to judge when people don’t marry- they don’t know it’s quite possible for a mistress to end up with more than you legally. Nipsey was a young black entrepreneur & like myself, he learned business tactics that have been hidden from us- I’m almost certain he used this tactic since it provides complete anonymity & protection if done correctly. We will never know what he arranged for his kids & Lauren, but I refuse to believe that he bypassed something as basic as this when I’ve heard him speak on basic wealth management. Now I’m just giving the other side of the coin since I’m not married (bc of MY issues) & my man has ensured that I will always be provided for regardless. And I have a whole lot more say so in decisions w his health & death than you could imagine. Y’all go get your wills & ish in order & learn about wealth management. Its not even expensive like many believe.
She was completely out of order & disrespectful. I’m sure she just made it that much harder to maintain her relationship with her niece after this.
But her life experiences are completely different from yours. Your experiences in life has you in a situation in which an such occurrence would put you in a potential bind. That woman is rich. Why would she quivel over such a pittance? Is she middle class like most of us? That is whole entire point -> We all live in our truths based off our own life experiences. We can’t juxtapose our life against others. The peices won’t fit.
Yep. Gold star for you ??
Gurrrlll you would be shocked..lol. Some wives out here thinking they will inherent a home upon a husbands passing only to unfortunately find out it goes to another woman in part due to vehicles that some states have encoded on the books. That’s when folks find out that marriage certificate isn’t as iron clad as they may have thought. Bottom line-> know your rights. It doesn’t take a genius. There are several ways other than living trusts. Your comment should be upvoted a zillion times. It’s based on facts! I am a wife but I have a hard time seeing myself basing my livelihood on my marriage certificate. He has his and I have mine. That’s how I like it. It’s my truth based off my experiences in life.
Some funeral homes will help you out with a basic will for $99.
So basically what u are saying is because she has a few million bucks in her time of grieving she doesn’t experience inconvenience ? especially during a time of grief? I believe your explanation of this is pure phuckery. I don’t care who u are and what u have in a bank account no one want to deal with what Lauren has to deal with when grieving.
Here’s what I’m trying to get you to see-> that’s your experience and your truth. I wanted to remain a live in girlfriend but was pressured into marriage based off his religious values. Being a live in girlfriend was the right answer for me based of my life experience. It’s my truth and no one can dictate my truth to me just as I can’t dictate a truth to another given I don’t know what they have been through in life.
Just because he married you doesn’t mean he will leave you anything/everything.
I encouraged you to re-read my comment. It seems you have misinterpreted it. Best!
Trust me no one want to take care of someone else child let alone babysit. I’m sure there is a good reason. Time will tell.
A lot of wives seem to be under that false impression. That’s why it’s a good idea to become familiar with the civil laws in the states in which we reside.
What u speak of isn’t the norm. U can try and down play marriage but the norm is the wife get everything unless there was other things put in place. Marriage is a contract aka business deal no one should be going in dumb as hell assuming anything is a given. Even married u have to stay up on game.
To all the wives who think they will be financially secure upon the passing of a husband it might be a good idea to inspect vehicles like a Transfer-On-Death- Deed (T.O,D.D). The best way to secure your wealth is to build your own and then secure it. My truths is NEVER SOLEY RELY ON A MAN.
Wealth has never afforded black people the same access, opportunity or protection as it does white people.
Even one is significant. Hopefully you won’t be the one. You seem smart so I doubt you will get caught getting got in a marriage. Not downplaying it. Merely pointing out is that is your truth. Your truth is the correct answer for you and I’m okay with that. You have a right to your truth based off your experiences in life.
I don’t know why people keep talking about marriage regarding custody of this little girl. She isn’t Lauren’s kid and married or not Lauren has no say unless her mother was dead. The best Lauren could have done was try and file for visitation if her and Nip was married.
They would not put the kid in DCFS while the mother gets her shit together if another FIT family member was willing to take her while the mother sorts herself out.
Oof u walk in a marital contract not getting anything u are a dummy. If u are in a marriage and don’t have a hefty life insurance policy on your spouse u are a fool. If u enter a marriage not knowing who name is on the deed and making sure your name is added u are a imbecile. This is just the basics most of u will not marry a wealthy man but should at least know the basics. Oh I get it most of u think marriage is about love ???
Money grab. This aint’ about nothing but preventing that girl’s mama from getting access to any of Nipsey’s money and future earnings. By legal right, Nipsey’s heirs are his children, not his brother, sister, mother or, father. His CHILDREN… which means, unless he provided for that family by way of a will or insurance policies, technically – everything he had will end up in trusts for his kids and royalties, etc will go straight to that trust. If he was providing for his family and didn’t provide for them in his death – their lives are about to change – dramatically and, getting access to one of the kids means they get the monthly stipend, child support, etc. FOH!
Preventing the girl’s mother from getting access to what’s rightfully her daughters and, balling out in the process. That’s all. She don’t want whatever’s in that estate to end up outside of THEIR end of the family and would rather take custody of the daughter than to let the mother drive a Mercedes.
That’s what makes it so sad. Believe it or not there are many who enter marriages not knowing there are pre-existing agreements. In many cases it’s due to the spouse completely forgetting they entered into those agreements once upon a time.
No. You misunderstood completely.
He can put your name on the deed for 1% and leave the other 99% to someone else dummy! If you took out an insurance policy then you did that not him. He can take out a policy and not have you as the beneficiary just as easily!
Chile…
Same goes for the designated beneficiary for job benefits. A LOT of times a spouse unfortunately forgets to remove the name of an old flame and the wife gets nothing. That isn’t so uncommon. Sad but it happens.
BM should be smart to keep her daughter away from the whole witchery .
My apologies then
I doubt he was worth anywhere near that much money. Unless he was a serious businessman (and from what I can see, he had a store in a strip mall)… he hasn’t made $200 million dollars. Most people who are pro Nipsey all of a sudden hadnt’ even heard anything about him, or his music until he got shot.
Oh ok. This is going to be ugly as hell.
Relativatity isn’t apart of my statement, nor do I dispute what you are saying.
I do miss your point, though.
Are you saying we should eschew wealth bc it doesn’t compare to whites?
Where do you stand on the disproportionately large number of missing and murdered black women and children…men, too for that matter? The frightenly large number of HIV contractions within the black community?
Fact: where epidemics within whites is behavior based, ours is economic-based.
Can you connect how wealth would diminish these epidemics?
Yup! There’s always someone bailing them out. Therefore, they never really grasp the full responsibilities of parenthood. My Aunt and this chick that i went to school with is like that.
Seehereseehere spouting YouTube conspiracy theory loominati-type bullshit about marriage and inheritance. Ain’t no side chick or baby mama superseding a wife’s legal right to any and all property and assets acquired during the marriage in the event of the death of her husband.
He had more than one store. He owned several hair stores and lots of real estate.
He still didn’t have $200 million. Y’all gotta stop believing everything you hear.
What in the world…. I am speaking MY truth despite me humbly granting you YOUR truth. Some folks just seem compelled to force THEIR truth down others throat. Respectfully and with all due respect, it’s a sign of being a control freak. I could post numerous links to old flames getting benefits due to the husband forgetting to remove the old flame’s name and then adding the wives name. But this isn’t about evidential truths is it? It’s about control. Some folks can’t stand not being in control of everything.
Now I’m waiting for Plan B since Plan A didn’t work.
Only caveat I’d add to your list is at #2…the marriage LICENSE seals the LEGAL commitment already made by becoming formally engaged. The marriage CEREMONY (if you choose to have one) seals the SPIRITUAL/RELIGIOUS commitment and/or requirement already made by becoming formally engaged.
The marriage ceremony is not legally binding but the marriage license is.
That mom is entitled just like anymom for child support
Harley aka Samantha is deferring to hood custody, not actual court ordered, legal, signed off by a judge and file stamped CUSTODY.
Didnt i say it? All my friends are africans i got the 411 on how some move when theres no marriage involved. If lauren wasnt famous they would try to take that boy too. They probably drag her and call her all sorts of names too. Smfh
Let’s not add to or subtract from my words…Where did I write I believed that? Let me look for you…I didn’t…he had nowhere near that, but he had money…sheesh.
@Chocolate, say it louder for the people in the back. Folks want to over-romanticize their relationship after his death but clearly she was way more into him than he was her.
His brother and father was his business partners so that’s where u are wrong. Matter of fact hussle’s brother black Sam funded those businesses.
DFCS will be involved even if foster care is with a family member. Foster care is the legal term for it, whether it’s a family member or not. A social worker will make home visits and submit reports to the court from doctors (medical, psychological) until permanent physical custody is decided for the minor child. But if there are no documented reports of abuse at the hands of the mother, then DFCS will work with her (parenting classes, drug rehab, etc.) and make every effort possible to return the child to the birth parent.
Right…. UNTIL the wife finds out the spouse forgot to remove the name of an exwife as beneficiary and now she looking stupid getting nothing and wondering how it could of happened.
Do u understand that what ever Emani is suppose to get she will not be getting until she’s 18. Now if Emani mom can’t afford to take care of her child and try to get ahold of her daughters trust early so she can spend it up then that’s on her. Either way it sound like Nip’s family is trying to protect thy child. My stepdad got ahold of his son’s trust early and spent it up ? when he turned 18 he had absolutely nothing he was furious.
You’re talking a bunch of “what if this and that”. Baby mamas and side chicks have no legal rights that supersede a legal marriage.
It i$ quite po$$ible that $he ha$ good intention$ with thi$ reque$t. However, $omething $eem$ a little fi$hy about all of thi$. Not $ure what it i$ though. Who know$???
Love this!???
I make sure I get a copy of the beneficiary form of all bank accounts, insurance, job benefits etc. yearly.
You summed it up far better than me- “over-romanticized” ?
Right, He was a very, very wise young man and he had his hand deep in many companies, CBD/Weed companies, technology companies, Real Estate , Hotel/Resort investments with Rusell Branson and etc. Very, very wise. He was good for sure. Building for the future. Hate this happened to him.,
Worth $8 million at time of his death. Owned all of his music so that money routing back to his estate and Im sure its generating a helleva lot more now that he is dead. Add in the value off that real estate, and add in an insurance policy…he probably worth 16-20 million now but we still dont know. https://media3.giphy.com/media/BmmfETghGOPrW/giphy.gif
sho ya right
My family including myself have met nipsey. Read the guy comment above his estimated net worth is about 200 million. People like u were not up on Hussle but a lot of ppl were.
Exactly and I wonder what their will do with vector Corp now that he’s gone.
Preach but chicks still letting dude get them pregnant with no rings. Shes lucky the judge saw through this plot. Some judges look down on unmarried mother, she coulda lost at least partial custody
Thank you for setting this straight! Its hard out here for #truth
I have my deed that didn’t happen dummy. Smh like I said read your contracts.
U are right and not only did I make sure that didn’t happen my husband made sure I removed my nephews. Marriage is a contract it’s not about love.
I agree I guess I seen so many people married or not married find out stuff until it’s too late and I vowed to never let that happen to me.
Whew chile the hurt in this truth.
Facts
Do you also have a copy of his benefit form to confirm/verify that you are the beneficiary? There are a lot of people getting married for the second time around. Spouses often forget to remove the name of the first wife. Why do we have to call names instead of just having a civil conversation. Not all black women angrily communicate like the real housewives of Atlanta. Can’t black women just talk sometimes without animosity?
Smart of you!
You are smart!
U are as well
I sure do ? everything is locked up and safe. I almost forgot to take my nephews off as beneficiaries if something happened to me so yes what u say is true, people forget. I almost did. I was so busy making sure I was taking care of ?
Soooo, that stops the sister from wanting his baby mama’s to end up with his money?
I don’t get your reply as I never spoke on any of that. I addressed the OP who spoke about how raising these children together could now be in jeopardy.
SN: I’m married w/my own as well, but God-forbid if I’m EVER in Lauren’s shoes, I am next of kin, estate executor, policy inheritor, surviving home owner, child guardian (no outside kids here), annuity inheritor, etc., etc., etc., & I prefer THAT scenario. I have relatives who went the “bond” route, & when one elder lost his partner after 45+ years, he looked like a fool at the hospital bc all decisions were made (for a woman he spent a lifetime with) by her sister. That’s ridiculous.
Agreed, but that visitation could be jeopardy so I guess that’s why since people are saying Nip would want his kids to grow-up together.
Got it! English is not my first language so sometimes I miss speech figures.
Ooooh…I see.
Very “money grab” suspect.
She would have to prove that Emani’s mother is unfit in this case… but truthfully, if nip and her had 50/50 custody when he was alive then this case will most likely get thrown out.. whatever grudge she got against her will make no difference
Beware Lauren, especially when it’s time for you to date again.
Them lips look like she smoke nothin but roaches.. just fuck the fresh blunt, give her the roach
No problem.
Truth is, MOST people aren’t willing to put in the time to keep it updated, or deal with the costs and tax filing issues associated with maintaining a trust, so this is moot for the average person.
???? you say she goes lurking in folk’s ash trays for weed?! you aint right!
Yep ! I agree ! Chicks talking about they want a man like Nip. Now Nip was definitely sexy but uh …. he clearly wasn’t trying to get married to Lauren and was still about that gang lifestyle. I’ll pass on that type of man.
Some people believe Lauren had him killed. I’ve seen a few vids on YouTube. Who knows. But yea she was smitten by him. Watch that GQ video of them. Nip didn’t even know that girl’s favorite color lmao I cringed watching that video. It’s clear who was in love and who wasn’t.
Your last sentence explains your position. You speak from your circle, and if I did the same- I’d feel similar to you.
I speak as a collective, but taking prevalence, cause and affect into consideration.
So when I speak of honor and respect, I mean it from a legal perspective; speaking of family planning that is common place yet collectively isn’t working.
You’re intelligent enough to know what a niggardly mindset is, the mention of your circle is just a self-serving flex.
IF YOU DON’T PREACH!!!! We have to WAKE UP – there’s too much evidence of what elective single-parent homes are doing to Black homes as a collective to ignore it.
This ! I said this on IG and people came for my head and called me a hater and was saying I was just mad because I didn’t have a ninja like him ! My boyfriend is a principal. I’ll take his 6 figure salary over Nip’s blood / gang money any single day. IDC about the fact that he was a millionaire. I’m not anybody’s baby mama so I’m not mad. I was just stating facts. She has two kids by two men. Do better. She’s gorgeous. She seems loyal. She deserves marriage. Sh*t we all do. Lol
Isn’t the premise of there BEING an ex-wife SUPPORT the tenets of marriage? I mean, she wouldn’t get it as a BM….
TELL DAT! Some posters keep harping on as if LL was unmarried by choice to preserve her cash. Please. When she went to that hospital, the FIRST words out of her mouth were an embrace of LEGALITY – aka – “That’s my HUSBAND,” bc she KNEW AT THAT MOMENT, BM wasn’t cutting it! Now roll the bean footage on DAT!
My aunt and Tanisha are actually childhood friends, she has an older son and an older daughter. Which she does post both and talk about both on her Instagram, Ya’ll gotta stop going off social media.
Are u serious? “SHOW” weddings is a THING amongst normal folk???
Amen! Money isn’t everything.
LA is a major city where most know him not for his music but as a businessman and his civic ventures. That strip mall is sitting on the route of an unfinished train route beginning at Staples Ctr, USC Exposition through to LAX. I’m a HS alum of Dr. Dre and Kendrick Lamar. Nipseys contribution to our community eclipses theirs.
Gurl – you good. Don’t listen to the what-ifs and he-could have scenarios…., I’m sure your name is on ish, he doesn’t have an ex-wife, etc., etc.,
You can’t add an old flame to most forms – there has to be some legal connection like spouse, sibling, parent, etc.,
I keep thinking the SAME THING!
I heard less than 10M
They aren’t trying to face the facts, just have folk agree with them when they make these choices. Don’t come at me w/Oprah was from a broken home, she turned out…, GURL YOU AIN’T OPRAH, and NEITHER is ‘lil Kamry!!!! Y’all REGULAR folk, making babies w/REGULAR MEN, then living HELLA UN-REGULAR!!!
??? that’s what I was saying in most cases not all the wife hold all the cards but as someone stated u do have to make sure old benefactors were removed on some policies because even I forgot to remove my nephews in place of my husband when we got married. My nephews get a portion now but before I was giving them everything.
Yessss LeeLee I was just as shocked! My close friend confided to me 3 weeks ago she had a show wedding ????? All this time I thought they were married. Many people aren’t mailing the marriage license off after these show weddings. I have another friend who had a 20k wedding and her show husband was like we aren’t mailing that license off ????? Yandy from love and hip hop had a show wedding ? a lot of these old black women be walking around with a ring on talking about their husband this and that and don’t be married to the man.
The baby momma can gain early access to Emani’s trust and if she does she will spend it up and by the time that girl is 18 she will have nothing. I seen this happen all the time my step dad did it to his own son. The baby momma has no rights to the family businesses. Maybe a wife but definitely not a baby momma.
Good to hear you guys are 9n better terms. I wish you and your son blessings and happiness!!
Thank you! Peace and many blessings to you and your son as well.
Oh wow- I didn’t know others thought that. It sure crossed my mind.
I just found it strange she still aligns herself and even applauds an element that killed him.
Everything that had to do with what took my loved ones and lover away, I despised.
Her speech gave me a bad vibe.
Right! It makes me cringe to see how low the bar is for legions of black women.
That’s what she gets. This made no sense in the first place. The sister was being messy. She probably asked could she see her for a day or two and the mom declined. She got mad and thought she could go down to the courts to make some shit happen. Girl go sit down! LAUREN I hope you are paying attention. It’s all good until it’s not all good anymore.
EVERYBODY!
Ikr? The idolization of these ghetto folks is astounding
And if she does that’s still her mother and that was her man at one point. Actually he was her husband.
He wasn’t when he died but i’m sure he’s very up there now. i wouldn’t say billions but i’m sure he’s in the upper millions.
Well now she will file for sole and who can stop her and why? She tried but checkmate to the BM
I’m outdone. So we’re letting these men do a “fake,” & STILL SETTLING?! BULLCRAP! I had an expensive wedding AFTER we were secretly married!!! Bump all DAT! BRUH said “I do” TWICE cause MY DADDY wasn’t paying $35/head on no empty ish! That first wedding was a spousal DEPOSIT far as I’m concerned! ?
The “mom” is actually his ex wife and the mother of his child so yes she is untitled and if he didn’t switch things over out of her name then she will receive whatever. She is going to receive it anyway in child support.
Correct! The streets be talking and be hella wrong.

Marriage doesn’t equate being dependent on a man financially. It signifies his formal commitment to you & I respect that. So in your estimation, men should simply commitment to sex without a condom (animals do everyday), then draw up papers so the financial aspect is taken care of. Isn’t it just as easy to marry and draw up more papers? At least THAT way, there’s some pledge to YOU as a woman willing to share your life w/him. The reality is that Chablis in the hood isn’t having a trust setup for her and lil RayRay. She’s struggling as a CNA while BigRay makes more babies, so this discussion from this angle is comparing apples to oranges if your advice is to the common Black female having kids out of wedlock.
Wait – why come I kept repeating her “sush a man” comment. She seemed fan-like.
I think he is still legally married to his first BM. Her last name is the same as his.
She had joint custody of Emani
SMH… bless your hearts. Y’all act like opening weave stores in the hood is a $10 million dollar a year business… You know how much weave you’ve got to sell in the hood to become independently wealthy? LOTS… and then a lot more lots on top of that. But, again, this still doesn’t prevent the sister from wanting to keep Nipsey’s money in the family and away from the baby mama. If she was concerned about the child’s care, why wasn’t anyone in the family trying to get custody prior to him dying?
Sam is G.H.E.T.T.O! She just as hood as Tanisha, just more polished. Don’t let the looks fool you
The sister’s lip filler looks awful.
He was never married to the mom.
She took his last name. They were never married.
Yep
Because our ppl are broke as hell ?
We’ve never had wealth. We’ve been “rich” which doesn’t buy opportunity or protection. Wealth does.
??
Lauren does not have money. I think her net worth is less than $5 million. To live in a state like Cali with two kids? Trust, she’s going to be on the prowl within the next 3-6 months looking for a new “protector”.
Yes ????????
I think that’s the child’s mom.
Damn ?
Hunty REFUSE and REBUKE that bullsh*t! Ain’t sh*t normal about b@$t@rd breeding… NOTHING!
???????
You making too much sense
I question which one was he really in love with too. It just seems he had to move on from the babymama because she refused to grow and improve herself. Lauren was just an upgraded version of her. But honestly he seemed head over Hills with Each one while he was with them.
He definetly loves Lauren. And it definetly looks like he loved his baby mama when he was with her.
They both look the same and act the same publiicaly. except one is super ratchet and the other knows how to carry her self with a little more class.
So clearly he had a type.
Agree with you 100%. He was too wise and self taught in business not to have all his affairs in order. I truly do not believe he did not have all this taken care of. No matter how free he flowed through them streets, he knew where he came from and what was up. (Just my opinion)! The man was kind hearted but seemed far from a fool with his $.
Prince was wise enough to be musically independent, owned his ish, financially philanthropic & all dat – family STILL fighting 3 years later bc @57, his estate affairs weren’t in order. Happens all the time.
if that judge saw his fool behind sis on camera throwing up gang signs, he knew she was just as bad as the mama. NEXT CASE
It the words of Nip “a nigga real ratchet, I ain’t wife’n shyt”
“You look good, but to me you just a bummy bitch“
“These hoochies always talking bout, where my dick is
But if it’s not in your mouth, then get out my business”
????
For real though. I believe he was in love with his babymama at some point in the past and still had a lot of love for her but I do belive he was in love with Lauren at the moment. I do belive he had intentions on marrying her. He don’t strike me as the Lying player type.
I’m rollin at your screen name ????
?
Money!!
No you gotta stop believing everything you here. You’re wrong and I will leave it at that.
?????
It sounded like the text she sent and read was after a long night of arguing.
Your assessment is true, but filled with plenty of assumptions. We don’t know the finances of this man. To my understanding, no will has been released to the public. How are you aware no family planning wasn’t present? Perhaps, the sister filing could potentially be in his wishes. But again that is an assumption on my part. No one makes a choice to die. Do we know if he and Lauren wanted to get married, because not everyone wants to…that isn’t a goal for some people. Again, your opinion is warranted, but unless you have inside knowledge, its just an assumption based on hearsay.
Very nice write up. It almost reminds me of when Whitney Houston passed. I can’t remember if Bobbi Kristina was of legal age at the time, but I do remember everyone fighting to gain ownership of the estate. Perhaps a conservatorship for her to control the finances.
Legally? Because that’s all the courts care about.
She couldn’t even bury him – and they lived together.
People kept saying she was an unfit mother … lets hope this is not true …I know sometimes judges DON’T make good decisions BUT if she were why didn’t Nip have full legal custody because if he did the sister would have her so ….. yeah we’ll see
We don’t know the real situation. It’s not always about the money. We don’t know what the relationship was between the mother and his family. Maybe it was contentious or nonexistent. The little girl spent half time with dad and his family. Now that bridge is gone, maybe they fear mom will restrict visit or cut them altogether so I don’t blame the aunt. Just another way to look at this. She’s a preteen and hopefully will use her voice to let mom know she wants to see her paternal family and siblings as much as possible.
His death certificate said he was never married.
His lack of family planning is evident:
2 baby mamas
No wife
No one chooses to die, but you do realize having two baby mamas and no wife is a choice? Also, knowing that is your reality, having a will and custody arrangement legally in place is also a choice.
Guess what, having a crappy bm or bd is also- u got it now, A CHOICE.
I’m not assuming anything.
Expand your thought process and mentality to fully encompass what family planning actually means.
Lack thereof is being played out right within this article..think about it.
?
Welp
He has spoken
I have no idea what he intended.
I just know he didn’t ?????
Broke broke. I’m waiting on the poster to respond bc they act as if our non-existent wealth as a collective, has already proven wealth wont matter…wth?
Gurl diggin’ all thru the fallen leaves at the park….
I know someone who did the same thing – 50K blown like DUST in the wind. Kids had to go to ECPI when they got out of HS. Me: But wait, y’eent got NUFFIN?!?! AND you spent all their SSA checks TOO?!?!
?????? I know it’s insane
Why would you give a child to a mom who has been deemed unfit to take care of all 3 of her kids? That’s assanine
It’s fact I don’t have to see it hun
No not of any of her kids
That was NEVER her husband. Crazy girl just changed her last name
amen
all the talk in the world will not make up for being in a legal marriage with someone u have babies with and is living with. widow trumps baby mama in every state and language.
she is just another skank no matter which way u look at it. that is why he did not wife her. for goodness sake she had a baby by lil wayne
I hold myself to a higher standard. Sure, it takes discipline but it’s possible.
I won’t make assumptions on what you have going on, will just wish you well in your decision making and choices.
You’re right. I just feel compelled to dialogue in hopes of something clicking. But you are so right…le sigh
They probably thought they had all the time in the world ??
Does anyone know who has custody of the little girl?
Oh ok..I didn’t know that. Who has custody of the little girl then?
Nip had full custody
Oo ok
Oo ok
I’m sure from someone else perspective u have a pig in lipstick situation that has happened in life. Now your Jesus Christ. Good bye. ??
You are sure, are you?
Your attempt at personally attacking a stranger you do not know, is bizarre.
.
Excellence, leadership and over-achievement exists, dear.
It’s something to be proud of and encouraged by, not offended.
I’m responding bc its important people know that messy lives/poor choices are totally avoidable…a norm doesn’t make it normal nor necessary.
What money ? The only thing I can name is ATL. That movie didn’t gross billions. Lmao these folks tripping
A mess!
?
Again, you have not answered how you have access to his will, which would allow you to assess there is a lack of family planning. To me that is the biggest takeaway. Also, you made an assumption that I needed to expand my thought process and mentality. Based on what exactly? My very first sentence to you was in agreement. I hope you have a wonderful day.
Is his sister contesting his will and pre-arranged custody arrangement within same?
It didn’t say that, so I inferred he didn’t have at least the custody arrangement properly in place, and that is lack of proper family planning. That is where I suggested you expand your thought process..family planning starts at selection of who you conceive with all the way through your demise and thereafter.
I stand corrected if the sis is contesting the former.
I’m literally responding to the article as written.
You have a good day as well.
Not bizarre on a gossip site. U see how perspective works. From your perspective I attacked. From my perspective I used your own comment against u. From My perspective with your comment u attacked a dead stranger. Now how bizarre is that ? oh from your perspective. Can’t play victim with me.
I’m responding to an article, dear.
You are responding to me.
Hopefully this dialogue expanded your thought process.
Good day
just take the girl mother to court with you..what’s so hard about that!
Not true at all. But keep believing that. I already did my research and I suggest you speak w an attorney about protecting your assets if you’re married. Love & Light.
You got it.
Yea, the average person may believe that. You can create & update trusts yourself…just get it notarized. entrepreneurs don’t think like average people,, especially not us young black entrepreneurs. We open trust then open corps & llc’s in the trust name in states like wyoming & nevada so we are protected & anonymous. It’s a great business write off for the end of the year. Im just trying to put a bug in somebody’s ear lol.
Me too!!
Yes!! Great message!
He probably left his businesses and money to his kids. That’s it
Spread that. A lot of us are unaware.
They don’t wanna hear that, they just wanna be married and have a huzzband lol. A lot of women get shocked about the real state of their finances when their spouses pass and they find out they they are not getting a comeup that they thought they were.And if he has a will, he can leave you with the bare minimum
it’s obviously about the money he left for his daughter
FEW do what you speak of, so it still isn’t normative & likely bc of what I’ve already stated – actions & costs associated. Past that, many people don’t have the houses, cars, stocks, bonds, life insurance policies, etc., to fund any trusts they WOULD setup. Of course Nipsey should have the assets, but his age leans more towards one who might put it off – time will tell.p
That’s true, but I doubt it. How do skip the mom’s entire family and just go to Dad’s family.
Nip did
