Lauren London has shared a heartbreaking tribute to Nipsey Hussle, her longtime partner and the father of her son Kross, on the five-year anniversary of his senseless murder.
Taking to Instagram on Sunday (March 31), the You People star remarked that she’s come to spend the entire month of March dreading the day, on which the rapper was slain in front of his Marathon clothing store in 2019.
“If you know me, you know March is always tough for me,” she wrote. “31 days of holding my breath. This day decided to fall on Easter Sunday this 2024. Interesting…considering your name #GodWillRise. Energy never dies. I love you. Eternal.”

Nipsey Hussle’s killer, Eric Holder Jr., was sentenced to 60 years to life in prison by a Los Angeles judge in February 2023, eight months after being convicted for gunning down the rapper.
Holder, 33, was allegedly angered by Nipsey accusing him of being a snitch during a brief conversation outside his South L.A. clothing store. He returned moments later with a pair of weapons and unloaded at least 10 shots into the Crenshaw rapper, fatally wounding him.
“I also don’t want to give a misconception that I’m at peace and I’m walking around on a cloud,” London told PEOPLE while reflecting on her partner’s death months after the verdict.
“I have to wake up with the intention of this every day because there are days I don’t want to, and I’m like angry about it. And that’s what healing is. It is up and down, side to side, all over the place. You know what I mean? And with each new level, there’s something else.”
