Nipsey Hussle’s Daughter Shares TikTok Video Featuring NBA YoungBoy’s Song
Emani, Nipsey Hussle’s kid, has grown so much in her recent TikTok video that people are startled.
The death of Nipsey Hussle has been a hot issue recently. Since it was reported that his alleged killer, Eric Holder, was attacked in prison, people have started discussing the rapper’s tragic death more frequently. While the lawsuit is bringing Nip’s name to mind, something else is gaining attention.
Nipsey Hussle, real name Ermias Asghedom, left behind two children: a daughter and a son. His daughter, Emani, was just ten years old when her father was killed in 2019. Now, three years after his terrible death, she is growing into a teenager. The 13-year-old posted a video on TikTok, and social media fans were taken aback by how big she had grown over the years.
Emani danced to NBA Youngboy’s “Whap” challenge in a crop top and fluffy afro, a trend that has been going viral on the video app for quite some time. To add some flare to her performance, she pulled a bundle of cash out of her jeans and fanned it out before letting it fall to the ground.
This would not be the first time she has astounded the internet. Last October, she shared video footage of herself singing Whitney Houston’s “I Will Always Love You,” which elicited a strong reaction from industry figures such as T.I. and YG.
In recent news, the late artist’s family launched a dispensary in Los Angeles, California, last month. According to Nipsey Hussle’s brother, Samiel Asghedom, the clip, titled “The Marathon Collective,” was something Nipsey has always wanted to perform.
