Lauren London

**Lauren Nicole London** (born December 5, 1984) is an American actress. She started dating Nipsey Hussle in 2013, and were together until his murder on March 31, 2019. Their son, Kross Ermias Asghedom, was born on August 31, 2016.

## Background

For a cover story photoshoot with *GQ*, London stated, "I did not slide into his DMs. My homeboy did...." She explained that in 2013, whilst filming for the TV series *The Game*, she bought Hussle's new mixtape *Crenshaw* for her co-stars, which was $100 apiece. Afterwards, she followed Nipsey on Instagram, which led to him following back and DM-ing her. Hussle revealed the first time they met in person was at his store on Slauson and Crenshaw in Los Angeles.

When London was chosen by John Singleton to be in the crime-drama TV series *Snowfall*, she got the part and participated in the pilot. When she became pregnant, she turned down the role, revealing, "It was the toughest decision of my career my far." Hussle added, "I didn't put any pressure on her for whatever decision she wanted to make. I learned then that what she believes in, she really believes in."

In November 2017, they briefly split up for a couple of months. Hussle took to Twitter to announce, "[Lauren London] and I had a dope relationship and made a beautiful child. We are deciding to separate and raise our son together as the main priority. This was a mutual choice and we will function with each other as family [with] love and respect." They were seen together again in February 2018, for the release party of his album *Victory Lap*. A month later on March 31, 2018, Hussle was fatally shot. Since his death, London has made posts dedicated to him and helped to carry on his legacy.

> “To consider that after the death of the body the spirit perishes is like imagining that a bird in a cage will be destroyed if the cage is broken, though the bird has nothing to fear from the destruction of the cage. Our body is like the cage, and the spirit is like the bird. We see that without the cage this bird flies in the world of sleep; therefore, if the cage becomes broken, the bird will continue and exist. Its feelings will be even more powerful, its perceptions greater, and its happiness increased. In truth, from hell it reaches a paradise of delights because for the thankful birds there is no paradise greater than freedom." - Baha'i Sacred Writings
