‘His Soul Was Majestic’- Lauren London Pays Tribute To Late Rapper Beau Nipsey Hussle With Heartfelt Eulogy
Actress Lauren London hailed her late Rapper beau Nipsey Hussle ‘the love of my life’ in a heartfelt speech at his memorial service on Thursday.
The ATL actress appeared on-stage at the Staples Center in Los Angeles where Nipsey’s memorial service was held, nearly two weeks after he was shot and killed at the age of 33.
Speaking to the 20,000-strong audience, Lauren said:
‘Ermias I want you to know that I feel real joy in my heart when I’m around you… I’m totally myself when I’m with you. ‘My pain is for my two-year-old who probably won’t remember how much his dad loved him… Ermias said you can’t possess people, you can only experience them. And I’m so grateful I got to experience such a man. ‘His soul was majestic. He was the strongest man that I ever knew. A gentle father, a patient leader, a divine light.’ Sharing fond memories of Nipsey, real name Ermias Asghedom, Lauren continued: ‘He would listen to audiobooks at night and I would tease him… but I thought that was the coolest s**t ever.’
“I’m never going to give up on you. My loyalty and devotion is to you.” 💙

‘You’ve made me into more of a woman. You have encouraged me and inspired me to reach higher. ‘You’ve been the greatest boyfriend to me. You and I work. We fit. And you’re the coolest guy in the world to me still.’ Holding back tears, Lauren closed her speech: ‘Ermias, the love of my life. I’m so grateful that I had you. I love you beyond this earth and until we meet again, the Marathon continues.’
