Nipsey Hussle‘s family is heading to trial and will face off against the late rapper’s ex Tanisha Foster in a custody battle over his 14-year-old daughter Emani.
According to Radar Online, the pending legal showdown comes after Nip’s brother, Sam Asghedom, filed a third status report as part of Nipsey’s probate case last November, explaining that guardianship of Emani is still pending due to Foster’s reluctance despite the fact his family technically obtained guardianship of Nipsey Hussle’s daughter back in 2019. They accused Foster of not being a fit parent and argued she would not provide a stable home.
Asghedom and the rapper’s sister Samantha Smith were originally appointed as guardians, but Tanisha Foster opposed this by filing legal documents for full custody of her daughter, claiming she only agreed to the arrangement due to her “financial limitations; her desire to maintain the standard of living and family contact the minor had experienced with the paternal family prior to her father’s death; and upon the verbal assurances that each of them would act in the best interests of Emani.”
According to new documents obtained by Radar Online, a court date has been set by a Los Angeles Court Superior judge for April 27 and comes after the three concerned parties failed to reach a mediation agreement last November.
Nipsey’s family sought to obtain guardianship of Emani on March 31, 2019 shortly after the rapper’s murder caused Asghedom to be the administrator of his estate. The family has accused Foster of having a history of drug and alcohol problems.
Foster instead asked the court for full custody and for a “neutral experience financial planner” to be hired to manage Emani’s inheritance. Emani is one of two beneficiaries of Nipsey’s estate set to receive around $2 million each. The other is his son, Kross, whose mother is Lauren London.
“There are no circumstances or events in my life that would disqualify me for regaining my exclusive role as Emani’s parent,” she wrote. “There is no longer any need for guardianship. Emani routinely asks me when are she and I going to be able to live together. She longs to be with me as her mother. I am begging the court to terminate the existing guardianship.”
But the latest court documents point to an alleged incident involving Tanisha assaulting another person in front of Emani and other children.
“Obviously, the behavior summarized herein endangered Emani’s well-being, but such behavior also makes Ms. Foster wholly unfit to act as guardian of the estate, and be able to manage Emani’s inheritance expected to exceed two million dollars ($2,000,000),” the family’s filing read.
In other Nipsey Hussle news, Eric Holder, the man convicted of killing the rapper, suffered yet another legal blow in December when a Los Angeles judge denied his request to have his first-degree murder conviction reduced. His sentencing hearing is now scheduled for February 22, 2023, and he faces a potential term of life in prison.
Obviously they only care for that 2 million.
I agree give that girl to her mom
So her mother can burn through that 2 million? For the real ones that know this is all she truly caress about. The money.
Nah. She only fighting for the bag. Tweety response above makes sense, bc if she counters, it’s all for the bag.
Exactly that’s all she wants That Lil girl won’t get a penny of that money,if they give her back to her mother,of course she going to say that she wants to be with her mom,most girls do, but that Lil girl doesn’t have a clue that her money is the is the only reason she wants her.
Exactly
Give her custody but not rights to the money. Put a stipulation on it or in a trust fund until she is 18.
Custody all for it. The money uh no uh hell no…
Sad, money will bring a parent out to now want to be one. Then again two sides to every story. I’ll stick to mine though.
They tryna snatch that kid away from his moms so they have more money THAT is what these greedy monsters are doing. You aint the mommy and you aint the daddy. Stop messing with other peoples kids. Nip would really have loved this!!!
That’s not the kids mom buddy.
But they been had coustody the mom want her back because of the money. Y’all can’t be that dumb.
Right! They been had custody of that baby! However, I do understand how it feels not having your child. Stuff like this really affects children. All over MONEY! SAD
You’ll up here saying give the kid back to the mother are you’ll hearing you’ll selves Tanisha was on DRUGS, Fighting in front of her daughter what kind of Example is that to teach your daughter and also Tanisha is a money hungry Bitch the only why she want her daughter is for the Money bc she is BROKE Tanisha never said nothing about the money I think it’s best interested that Emani stay with Nipsey Hussle Fily where she belongs bc she will be well taken care of.
For her safety she needs to stay with Nipseys family. Where she would not have to worry if some crazy person will come kidnap her. She will be safe!! Let her mom come visit on structured visitation. This is deep she is an icons child she needs security!!
In guardianship, the mother must have lost custody for this to occur. If the mother was so concerned why was the child not living with her while Nipsey was alive. If she goes back they need a trust and she would only get a few $ a month. Nothing to live off of and receipts need to be shown. If the mother assaulted someone then the court won’t give her back anyway!
I agree soon as he die now she want her daughter cause the money its a shame she didnt want her before.
