Lauren London stands on stage and delivers a touching speech about her late boyfriend Nipsey Hussle during his memorial service on Thursday (April 11) at the Staples Center in Los Angeles.
The 34-year-old actress was joined on stage by her and Nipsey‘s two-year-old son Kross, as well as her nine-year-old Cameron Carter and Nipsey‘s seven-year-old daughter Emani Asghedom.
“My pain is for my 2-year-old, who probably won’t remember how much his dad loved him,” she said during the speech. “I’m so honored and blessed that I got to experience such a man.”
“This pain is really ours. We know what Nip meant to us,” she added. “We lost an incredible soul. We lost a real one. We won’t ever be the same.”
“But in Hussle’s words, ‘The game is going to test you, never fold,” she continued (via Access Hollywood). “What’s in you, they can’t take away, and he’s in all of us.”
Lauren London, actress and longtime girlfriend of Nipsey Hussle, read from a text she wrote to Nipsey while he was sleeping: "I feel real joy in my heart when I’m around you. I feel safe around you." https://t.co/HHHK7S0YvS #NipseyHussleMemorial pic.twitter.com/FgdUcg1RdF
