Nipsey Hussle’s children, 17-year-old Emani and 9-year-old Kross, have officially received their respective shares of the late rapper’s estate. According to court documents obtained by TMZ, the distribution includes both cash and physical assets, marking the resolution of a long-standing inheritance process following the artist’s 2019 death.
How the Estate Was Distributed
The estate, valued at an estimated $11 million, has been divided equally between the two heirs. Each child received a 50% share of the total inheritance. While the specific dollar amounts remain sealed by the court, the assets distributed include interest in various business ventures, most notably The Marathon Clothing company, as well as several trademarks and a 2012 Chevy Suburban.
Lauren London, who was Nipsey Hussle’s girlfriend at the time of his passing, signed documentation acknowledging the receipt of the assets on behalf of their son, Kross. The management of these assets was overseen by the rapper’s brother, Sam Asghedom, widely known as Blacc Sam.
The settlement follows years of legal tension regarding the estate. Blacc Sam had been involved in a protracted dispute with Tanisha Foster, Emani’s mother, over the inheritance. Both parties reached a formal resolution last year, clearing the path for the final payout.
Managing Celebrity Estates and Assets
The resolution of the Hussle estate highlights the complexities of managing intellectual property and business interests after a sudden death. For many artists, the bulk of their wealth resides not in liquid cash, but in business equity and trademark rights. In this case, the inclusion of The Marathon Clothing company as a primary asset ensures that the children maintain a stake in their father’s professional legacy.
Pro Tips for Estate Planning

- Inventory Intellectual Property: For creators, trademarks and brand rights are often the most valuable components of an estate.
