More than six years after Nipsey Hussle was shot and killed outside his Marathon Clothing store in Los Angeles, his two kids have finally received their portions of his estate. Court documents obtained by TMZ confirm that Emani Asghedom, 17, and Kross, 9, have each been paid out in cash and other assets from an estate previously valued at around $11 million.
The exact amounts each child received remain under seal, but the split was equal between the two. Emani is Nipsey’s daughter with Tanisha Foster, while Kross is his son with Lauren London.
Getting to this point was not a straightforward process, especially for Emani. Her guardianship situation became a prolonged legal battle that only reached a resolution in 2025, when Foster and Nipsey’s brother Sam “Blacc Sam” Asghedom, who manages the estate, hammered out a custody agreement after years of dispute.
Under that agreement, Foster and Blacc Sam now share joint legal and physical custody of Emani. She spends 60 percent of her time with her mother and the rest with her uncle, and both adults hold equal say over decisions around her education and upbringing.
As part of the settlement, Nipsey’s mother Angelique Smith and his sister Samantha Asghedom stepped down as co-guardians. It marked the end of what had been a messy and emotionally charged chapter for a family already navigating grief in the public eye.
Blacc Sam has been the central figure holding the estate together since Nipsey’s death on March 31, 2019. His role managing his brother’s legacy while simultaneously fighting through guardianship disputes and probate proceedings puts into perspective just how much has been handled behind the scenes over these six years.
On a lighter note, Emani had something worth celebrating just last month before the estate news broke. She graduated from Fusion Academy, with both Foster and Blacc Sam present at the ceremony, a moment that felt like a quiet signal that the family had found some kind of working peace.
Foster posted photos from the graduation on Instagram showing Emani in a purple cap and gown standing between her mother and uncle. She kept the caption simple: “Congratulations to my baby.”
The image of Foster and Blacc Sam side by side at that graduation, after everything the two went through in court, says something about where things stand now. Whether that stability holds as Emani approaches adulthood and Kross grows older is a question the family will be living in real time.
