Laurel London started her career in commercials in 2002 and went on to star in several music videos for rappers such as Tyrese, Ludacris, JAY-Z, and Pharrell. She had to wait a few more years before making her debut on the big screen. Her breakthrough year was 2006, when she appeared on television for the first time in the Everybody Hates Chris episode “Everybody Hates Funerals.”

Kross’s parents, Nipsey Hussle and Lauren London, were an item for a very long time before his sad demise. Despite reports and rumors that the two were secretly wedded, it was, however, verified that they never got to exchange marital vows, as shown by a copy of Nipsey’s death certificate, which carried the rapper’s marital status as single at his time of death.

The two met through social media but also had mutual friends. London, in an interview, informed GQ magazine that at the time they met, she was not in a relationship, and they had hit it off after she purchased his mix tape from him and began following one another on social media. When she went to pick up an item she had purchased from him, he asked her out for a date, and she obliged.

The exact day they started dating was not captured, however, it is revealed that they dated for a period of over 5 years which seem good enough for them to start a family together. Throughout the period of the relationship, they became an item of discussion for fans and followers who speculated that the one-time couple secretly got married.

Well, a lot of those speculations were fueled by the late rapper’s use of the term “my wife” when talking about London. Weeks before Nipsey’s passing, the couple were spotted taking photos which many assumed was their engagement shot they were doing. They, however, quenched the rumor and informed the public that the pictures were meant for a magazine promo.

Who Has Custody of Kross Ermias Asghedom?

The court session, which was held on Tuesday, the 15th of October 2019, witnessed the Judge announcing London to get guardianship over the then 3-year-old son, Kross’s estate. The case was a unique situation because estates are only created when someone passes away. The person to contact for handling the finances that could provide Kross with a secure future is Lauren.

It is worthy of note that Lauren and Nipsey had a beautiful relationship, and she was loved by the late rapper’s immediate family members, which included his surviving mum and siblings. So it was not a problem for her to get full custody and estate guardianship of the 7 year-old after Nipsey’s untimely demise.

However, there has been some legal battle involving Tanisha Foster, Nipsey’s ex-girlfriend, and the mother of his daughter, Emani, who is also expected to inherit $1 million. Nipsey’s siblings had accused Foster of being a neglectful parent, which is why the rapper’s sister Samantha Smith has petitioned to become Emani’s legal guardian.
