The Full Truth About Nipsey Hussle And Lauren London's 5-Year Love Story That Came To A Heartbreaking End

Their romance started in 2014.

Editor's note: Today (March 31) marks the one year anniversary of Nipsey Hussle's passing.

While we continue to celebrate the life and legacy of Nipsey Hussle, who tragically passed away yesterday (March 31) from gun violence, we send our prayers out to his longtime-love, Lauren London. The couple, who were together for five years and shared a son, embodied #BlackLove. And although their real-life California love story was cut short, there’s no doubt in our hearts that Nipsey Hussle was the “Rashad” to Lauren’s “New New.”

Learn how the West Coast rapper and ATL-famous actress met, plus see all the love they shared and more below:

  1. The couple met when she orchestrated a DM slide looking for copies of His pricey ($100 a pop!) ‘Crenshaw’ mixtape. The rest is history…

  2. They’re both Cali-born and bred. Often they spent date night watching the Lakers play at the Staples Center.
