Nipsey Hussle’s Children Set to Inherit Estate Amid Legal Battle

by
Nipsey Hussle's Estate is Reportedly Valued at $4.1 Million Following Final Appraisal

Five years have passed since the tragic shooting of rapper Nipsey Hussle outside his Los Angeles clothing store, a moment that sent shockwaves through the music industry and beyond. While his legacy continues to inspire millions, the legal aftermath of his untimely death has been a complex journey, with recent developments shedding light on the ongoing struggles faced by his family.

According to reports from Radar Online, a recent ruling by a Los Angeles Superior Court judge has cleared the path for Nipsey Hussle’s children to finally receive their rightful inheritance from his estate. This decision came after the judge dismissed a creditor’s attempt to delay the estate’s closure, ensuring that Nipsey’s offspring are set to receive their first inheritance check.

The creditor in question, songwriter Tasleema Yasin, had filed a motion seeking to keep the case open, citing an alleged debt owed to her by Nipsey Hussle’s estate. Yasin claimed unpaid royalties for her work on the track “Hussle & Motivation,” which was released prior to the rapper’s tragic death. Despite her efforts, the court denied Yasin’s plea, emphasizing the need for a fair and just resolution while suggesting she pursue action against another party involved in the dispute.

Nipsey Hussle’s brother, Sam, opposed Yasin’s request, arguing that she had previously reached a settlement with All in Money LLC regarding the alleged debt. Sam maintained that Yasin’s claims should be directed towards this entity rather than Nipsey’s estate. Ultimately, the judge found insufficient evidence to support Yasin’s case, granting approval for the final report and paving the way for inheritance payments to Nipsey’s children.

Amidst the legal proceedings, Nipsey Hussle’s family continues to struggle with other challenges, including a custody battle over his 15-year-old daughter, Emani. Despite the bitter dispute, the court has appointed Nipsey’s relatives as co-guardians of Emani’s finances, ensuring her well-being alongside her brother, Kross.

The significance of Nipsey Hussle’s estate cannot be understated, with assets valued at approximately $11 million. As a result of the recent ruling, his children are poised to inherit a substantial portion, with Emani and Kross expected to receive around $5 million, alongside ongoing annual payments from the estate.

Wendy Williams’ Son Narrowly Avoids Eviction

Wendy Williams' Son Accuses Her Manager and Others of Enabling his mother as she battles addiction issues

Two years ago, the public eye turned to Kevin Hunter Jr., the son of former daytime talk show host Wendy Williams, when he faced eviction from his Miami apartment. This eviction came amidst his mother’s financial guardianship by Wells Fargo Bank, leading to a cutoff in financial support for Kevin due to his decision to drop out of college. Now, recent reports from The Sun shed light on Kevin’s ongoing financial challenges, revealing a near-eviction scare just last month.

According to The Sun’s exclusive report, Kevin Hunter Jr. found himself on the brink of eviction once again in February. The timing was particularly striking, as it coincided with the airing of a Lifetime docuseries in which Kevin shared his experience of being cut off from his mother’s finances after her placement in guardianship. This docuseries, on which Kevin served as an executive producer, brought attention to his personal struggles, including financial instability.

The details of Kevin’s recent eviction notice paint a picture of mounting financial pressure. On February 26, his apartment building served him with an eviction notice, citing non-payment of rent. Allegedly, Kevin had failed to pay February’s rent, amounting to $4,317.08, despite his monthly rent being $3,731 as per the lease agreement. This situation followed a three-day notice of non-payment issued to Kevin on February 6, indicating a pattern of financial strain.

Fortunately, by March 5, it seems Kevin managed to resolve the matter, as the building’s attorney filed a notice to dismiss the eviction case. However, this incident adds to a series of financial setbacks Kevin has faced, including a previous eviction from a luxury apartment in Miami back in 2022.

NBA star Lebron James recently launched his new “Mind The Game” podcast with JJ Reddick, which led Draymond Green to saying that he had “a bone to pick” with James. Draymond stated, “I’m a little upset that LeBron James is going on a podcast, and he still hasn’t been on ‘The Draymond Green Show.’ But when it’s your own thing, you kind of can’t say anything, so I guess I’ll live with it for now. Pick the bone with him that I got to pick with him later.” 

Cam’ron and Mase, the hosts of It Is What It Is sports podcast, reacted to Green’s statement, with Cam’ron comparing it to artists signing to Roc Nation and thinking they’re getting a verse from Jay-Z. Cam’ron and Mase laughed at the thought , with Cam adding that artists will get the Paper Planes hat and a “vintage pair of S. Dots.”

Ye and Ty Dolla $ign Eye Pyramid in Egypt for Next ‘Vultures’ Experience

Ye and Ty Dolla $ign Release Trailer for "Vultures" Video and Announces Three Release Dates

Ye and Ty Dolla $ign have eyed Egypt for their next Vultures experience. The two have announced an event for April 20 at the Step Pyramid of Djoser in the desert of Saqqara, Egypt. Tickets are currently on sale.

Ye’s friend and frequent collaborator Travis Scott attempted to perform a show in Egypt ahead of the release of UTOPIA. That didn’t go as planned. You can read more about it here.

We can get a glimpse of Ye’s recording process for Vultures. The closing verse on “CARNIVAL” was recorded while at least 25 people surrounded him.

Earlier this month, Ye and Ty Dolla $ign reached the top of the Billboard Hot 100. Their collaborative, stadium-sounding anthem, “Carnival,” featuring Rich the Kid and Playboi Carti, hit No. 1.

“Carnival” now makes Ye the first rap artist to have a No. 1 in three decades (the 2000s, ‘10s and ‘20s).

According to Luminate, “Carnival” secured the 1,165th No. 1 spot in the 65-year history of the Hot 100. It amassed 33.7 million streams (up 4%), garnered 3.9 million radio airplay audience impressions (up 85%), and sold 3,000 downloads (up 15%) during the tracking week of March 1-7.

With “Carnival,” Ye claims his fifth Hot 100 chart-topper, following hits like Katy Perry’s “E.T.” (featuring Ye), which spent five weeks at No. 1 starting in April 2011, among others. Ty Dolla $ign previously led the Hot 100 for a week in June 2018 as featured on Post Malone’s “Psycho.”

It is the first No. 1 record for Rich the Kid and Playboi Carti.

Additionally, “Carnival” maintains its reign for a second week atop both the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs and Hot Rap Songs charts, utilizing a similar multimetric methodology as the Hot 100.
