Nipsey Hussle's sister files to become the legal guardian of his daughter while her mother is still alive

Nipsey Hussle's sister has filed to become the legal guardian of Nipsey's first child, Emani Ashedom.

Emani's mother goes by the name Tanisha Asghedom and Chyna Hussle. She has been known to ruthlessly mock Nipsey's fiancee, Lauren London on social media with posts informing her that she still slept with Nipsey.

Now that Nipsey has been murdered, his sister, Samantha Smith has filed a petition to become the legal guardian of 7-year-old Emani who currently lives with her mum Tanisha, according to court documents obtained by The Blast.

In court documents, Smith says she has "always been a constant presence in Emani's life and along with the rest of Emani’s paternal family has assisted in her care."

Samantha wants to be the girl's legal guardian to ensure that she can make legal custody decisions regarding Emani and "so that she can continue to live with family members with whom she has always had close ties."
