As fans mourned the death of entreprenuer and rapper, Nipsey Hussle, his wife Lauren London, has remained understandably silent. Today, London broke her silence with a heart breaking message on Instagram writing:
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
She followed her message with an array of photos of the couple over the years, Nipsey with his children, and a family photo. The couple has been together since 2013 and share two children.
Nipsey's little sister, Samantha Smith, also took to Instagram tonight writing a lengthy heart-wrenching tribute to her brother stating:
You are my heart.
You are my strength my wisdom my joy my balance. You are my Superhero.
Invincible to me. I feel so safe with you. I feel so covered and protected. Imperfections do not exist with you because you are flawless. I need you I need you please let me hold you again. You are my baby. To the world you are the strongest man and to me you are the most vulnerable innocent child. Your heart is pure they don’t know you like we know you. Your love is expansive. Talk to me again. You’ve taught me so much. You hold me down through everything. I got Lauren. I got Emani. I got Kross. I got Sam, he is my responsibility now. He is my big little brother. I got mommy and Granny and Pop. You gave me so many tools. You gave me so much insight. We will talk every second of everyday and I am here to carry out your vision. Ermias God Will Rise. I love you forever and I will cry forever. You are my lifeline as long as I am here you are too.
An unimaginable loss. Our hearts and prayers are with Nipsey, Lauren, and the family.
