'I've lost my best friend' Nipsey Hussle's wife cries after the death of rapper

Within in an hour of posting her tribute, the post had already garnered 1.3million likes.

Nipsey and Lauren had been together since 2013 and shared son Kross. They first met on Instagram after the actress picked up his mixtape for her castmates as a wrap present. She followed him, he followed back, and then the DMing began.

The rapper’s sister Samantha Smith also shared her grief in a public post.

‘You are my heart,’ she began, ‘You are my strength my wisdom my joy my balance. You are my Superhero.’

She continued: ‘Invincible to me. I feel so safe with you. I feel so covered and protected. Imperfections do not exist with you because you are flawless. I need you I need you please let me hold you again. You are my baby.

‘To the world you are the strongest man and to me you are the most vulnerable innocent child. Your heart is pure they don’t know you like we know you. Your love is expansive. Talk to me again. You’ve taught me so much. You hold me down through everything.

She promised her late brother to support the family, saying: ‘I got Lauren. I got Emani. I got Kross. I got Sam, he is my responsibility now. He is my big little brother. I got mommy and Granny and Pop. You gave me so many tools.

‘You gave me so much insight. We will talk every second of everyday and I am here to carry out your vision. Ermias God Will Rise. I love you forever and I will cry forever. You are my lifeline as long as I am here you are too.’
