The mother of Nipsey Hussle’s firstborn child, Tanisha Foster, has faced scrutiny since the rapper’s death in 2019. Foster faced significant pushback from Nip’s family as she tried to gain custody of their daughter, Emani Asghedom. However, reports of the custody battle also led to public scrutiny surrounding her parenting. Still, she remained relatively lowkey since Nipsey’s passing.
This week, she broke her silence in a series of heartbreaking messages shared on her Instagram Story. “I miss my child’s father,” she wrote. “I wish he was here to see my accomplishments.” Though Nip dated Lauren London until the day he died, Foster explained how she and Nipsey continued to have a strong bond due to their history together as parents and friends. Still, since Nip’s passing, she faced strong criticism from his fans whenever she tried to post about him on Instagram.

Afterward, she explained that she spoke to Nipsey just a half hour before he died. “I spoke with him 30 min b4 his death, I was one of the last persons he spoke with,” Foster continued. “I wish I was there I would have took those bullets,” she added.
Nipsey Hussle’s Killer Sentenced
Earlier this year, a jury convicted Nipsey Hussle’s killer, Eric Holder, of first-degree murder after a judge denied his bid to reduce his sentence to manslaughter. The jury handed down a sentence of 60 years to life. Additionally, the jury found Holder guilty of two counts of attempted voluntary manslaughter and two counts of assault with a firearm.
