On Tuesday, Actress Lauren London, the partner of the late Nipsey Hussle, addressed the shocking shooting death of her longtime boyfriend and the father of her youngest son. The rapper was gunned down outside the clothing store that he owned in South Central Los Angeles on Sunday.
In the days since Hussle’s death, fans and peers have come together online and at his store to pay their respects to Hussle. No doubt reeling from the shock of the unexpected news, London remained silent as news that he felt unsafe in his final days came to light.
But Tuesday brought news the LAPD had arrested a suspect in the shooting. And later in the day, London broke her social media silence with an emotional Instagram post honoring the life of Hussle.
The post featured a collection of photos of the couple together taken over the years and included shots of the pair with their young children. The caption that accompanied the post read:
I am completely lost
I’ve lost my best friend
My sanctuary
My protector
My soul….
I’m lost without you
We are lost without you babe
I have no words
London and Hussle had recently appeared together in a photo spread for the March issue of GQ Magazine titled “California Love” It’s clear she’s struggling with the news, as many of his fans and other musicians are as well.
