Lauren London Says Love for Late Boyfriend Nipsey Hussle Is 'Forever' in Sweet Tribute
Gone but never forgotten.
Lauren London again paid tribute to the late Nipsey Hussle in a touching Instagram post on Thursday. “Forever,” she captioned a black-and-white shot of herself and her late boyfriend taken from behind, showing the couple’s arms wrapped around one another.
Since his death, the slain rapper’s longtime girlfriend has shared a number of emotional tributes to her love, who was killed on March 31 after being shot outside of his Hyde Park, California, clothing store.

On Easter Sunday, London posted a black-and-white tribute to Hussle, who was 33 at the time of his death.
“Missing you,” the 34-year-old actress captioned the image of her and her boyfriend of six years.
In the photo, which appeared to be taken from a red carpet interview, the pair cast adoring looks at one another while standing by each other’s side.

Speaking at Hussle’s funeral on April 11, London tearfully remembered her longtime partner, whom she referred to as “the love of my life,” in front of a crowd of 21,000 who had gathered to pay their respects. She told the crowd, “His soul was majestic. He was the strongest man that I ever knew. A gentle father, a patient leader, a divine light. He was brilliant. He researched everything, completely self-taught, constantly seeking knowledge.”
As parents to 2½-year-old son Kross, London became emotional at the thought of her child growing up without his father.
“My pain is from a 2-year-old that probably won’t remember how much his dad loved him,” London said. “This is something that I don’t really understand but I know Ermias always used to say that you can’t possess people; that you experience them. I’m so honored and blessed to experience such a man.”
London was joined at the memorial by Hussle’s daughter Emani Asghedom as well as London’s son Cameron Carter (whom she shares with rapper Lil Wayne).
Following the service, London went on show off a new tattoo on her forearm honoring her love.
In addition to an image of Hussle’s face with a crown and racing flag, the inking also includes the saying “God Will Rise” underneath — the same phrase that was tattooed on Hussle next to his right eye.
“Real Love Never Dies,” she captioned the photo. “When you see me, you will always see him #LoveYouHussle #TMC”
Nipsey was allegedly killed by Eric Holder, 29, who has been charged with one count of murder, two counts of attempted murder and one count of possession of a firearm by a felon, according to the Los Angeles County’s District Attorney’s Office.
On April 4, Holder entered a plea of not guilty in court. Holder could face a maximum sentence of life in state prison if convicted.
