It's been nearly two months since the tragic death of Nipsey Hussle. Since then, there have been numerous tributes from performances being dedicated to the late rapper to fans petitioning to have a crayon color being renamed, "Nipsey Blue." Although Crayola didn't budge after fans bombarded their Twitter mentions, the name's become an official color in the hip-hop community. 

T.I.'s making sure even his youngest kid knows the legacy of Nipsey Hussle. In a recently shared video to his Instagram page, Tiny's heard asking Heiress what the color of the car is. Heiress takes a deep sigh before adorably uttering the words, "Nipsey Blue." T.I. was clearly proud of his daughter. He captioned the post, "My baby So Solid, So early.... & Already Rollin’....βœŒπŸ½πŸ‘πŸ½TMC🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁."

T.I.'s not the only rapper to paint his car in the dedication of the late Nipsey Hussle. Following the rapper's death, The Game, Offset, and Meek Mill painted their cars blue to pay tribute to Nip.

In other Nipsey-related news, the court made a temporary decision regarding the custody of his child. Over the past month or so, his sister Samantha Smith fought to gain custody of Nipsey's daughter, Emani. Although the child's mother claimed Smith unlawfully took the child without her permission, the judge decided that Emani should stay in Samantha Smith's custody until the next hearing in July.
