A touching tribute
E! Online reports that actress and model Lauren London took to Instagram on Sunday to pay a Father’s Day tribute to late rapper and boyfriend Nipsey Hussle. The popular music artist, who was born Ermias Joseph Asghedom, was shot dead in March outside his The Marathon Clothing store in South Los Angeles at age 33.
“One of the reasons I fell in Love with You....Your Fatherhood Today we celebrate You Love you Ermias,” wrote the 34-year-old on Instagram, alongside a photo of the two doting upon their 2 and 1/2-year-old son Kross Ermias Asghedom.
While fellow celebs such as Taraji P. Henson and rapper T.I. left supportive comments on her post, Nipsey will be honoured posthumously with the Humanitarian Award at the 2019 BET Awards next weekend in recognition of the work he did for his community.
