Schoolboy Q

While promoting his latest album, Blue Lips, <a href="https://hot97.com/hot-news/schoolboy-q-reveals-making-of-blue-lips-was-a-five-year-process">Schoolboy Q</a> was recently interviewed by Drink Champs. During the interview, the rapper opened up about a range of topics. One of the things he discussed was his biggest career regret - not seizing the opportunity to work with the late rap star, <a href="https://hot97.com/hot-news/judge-approves-usd5-million-payments-to-nipsey-hussles-children-despite">Nipsey Hussle</a>.
The question came up because both rappers are from LA and Nipsey had a close connection with Top Dawg Entertainment, the label Q is signed to. Nipsey Hussle's debut album, Victory Lap, was released in 2017 under Atlantic Records, while Q's debut album, Oxymoron, was released in 2014 under Interscope Records. <a href="https://hot97.com/hot-news/kendrick-lamar-drake-j-cole-the-road-to-like-that-and-whats-next">Kendrick Lamar</a>, Q's labelmate, was featured in the song "Dedication" on Victory Lap.

&ldquo;It was presented before,&rdquo; Q told hosts N.O.R.E. and DJ EFN. &ldquo;I think my timing was a lil off, and we didn&rsquo;t do the record. And that is my biggest regret of my rap career -- is not having a song with Nipsey. And he reached out too, through Karen Civil. He got a song with Mozzy; it&rsquo;s called &lsquo;Ain&rsquo;t Hard Enough.&rsquo; He sent it to me. I wish I was on that joint &lsquo;cause I love that song too.&rdquo;&nbsp;
Eric Holder shot and killed Nipsey Hussle at The Marathron Store in Crenshaw District, Los Angeles, in 2019. The city of Los Angeles named the area after Nipsey Hussle a couple of years later.
Q&rsquo;s new album features Freddie Gibbs, Rico Nasty, Ab-Soul, Jozzy, Lance Skiiiwalker, and Devin Malik. He shared that the album will include more videos following already released music video for&nbsp; &ldquo;<a href="https://hot97.com/hot-news/drake-chris-brown-glorilla-bryson-tiller-more-new-music-you-might-have">Yeern 101</a>,&rdquo; &ldquo;Thank god 4me,&rdquo;&nbsp; and &ldquo;Cooties.&rdquo;
&ldquo;I do have more visuals. And I&rsquo;m pretty much making it that -- a visual album. [A] book. I&rsquo;m making it an art piece, a whole theme around it,&rdquo; he explained. &ldquo;I filmed myself the last four years recording it too, so it&rsquo;s years of footage of me just making this album. So I have a lot to do.&rdquo;

<a href="https://hot97.com/hot-news/tmc-nipsey-hussles-foundation-joining-forces-with-the-l-a-marathon">Nipsey Hussle</a>&rsquo;s children will begin receiving inheritance checks after a Los Angeles Superior Court judge ruled this week to stop delays by alleged creditors.&nbsp;
https://www.instagram.com/p/Bt9tgmbhbPw/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&amp;igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==
According to obtained court documents, <a href="https://radaronline.com/p/nipsey-hussle-children-inheritance-payments-will-not-be-delayed-songwriter-creditor-claim-estate-dispute-2-million/">Radar Online</a> broke the news on Wednesday (March 20) after the case was closed. A plea from songwriter Tasleem Yasin caused the delay. Yasin requested a halt in payments until her case with Nipsey&rsquo;s estate over alleged debt was heard.
In 2019, Yasin filed a <a href="https://hot97.com/hot-news/nipsey-hussles-estate-beats-5-million-hussle-motivate-lawsuit">lawsuit</a> against Nipsey's estate for unpaid royalties related to &ldquo;Hustle &amp; Motivation&rdquo; from the rapper's Grammy-nominated debut album <a href="https://hot97.com/hot-news/lauren-london-shares-untold-fact-about-nipsey-hussles-victory-lap-album">Victory Lap</a>. The judge found that Yasin&rsquo;s case has &ldquo;insufficient evidence&rdquo; and granted inheritance payments to the Nipsey&rsquo;s children after reviewing of estate&rsquo;s final financial report.&nbsp;
Nipsey Hussle's brother and business partner, Samiel "Blacc Sam" Asghedom, submitted a final report in 2024 stating that all of the rapper's financial affairs had been resolved. Blacc Sam was appointed administrator of Nipsey&rsquo;s estate following his death in 2019.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
Nipsey's assets were worth around $11 million. The estate will pay his children $5 million and annual payments. Nipsey Hussle is survived by his two children, a daughter named Emani and a son named Kross.

<a href="https://www.hot97.com/hot-news/nipsey-hussles-family-heading-to-trial-over-custody-battle-for-late-rappers-daughter" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Nipsey Hussle‘s</a> estate recently beat a $5 million lawsuit from a Los Angeles singer who claimed to be an uncredited co-writer on the late rapper’s “Hussle & Motivate” track.Tasleema Yasin had reportedly filed the claim back in December of 2022, almost three years since the rapper was killed. The songwriter claimed that she wrote a “prominent vocal phrase” in the “Victory Lap” song and contributed to the song’s chorus and countermelody. According to the court documents, an initial settlement offer of $100,000 was made to Yasin, along with a 10% share of the masters’ royalties from the song and three other tracks. However, Yasin alleged that he was not honored what was agreed, forcing her to seek damages of at least $7.5 million. She later offered to settle for $5 million.Court documents obtained by <a href="https://hiphopdx.com/news/nipsey-hussle-estate-victory-lap-lawsuit" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">HipHopDX</a> revealed that Yasin's case was dismissed last Tuesday (April 11) after she failed to respond to the Order to Show Cause, which is issued when a court order or the demand of a judge requires a party to justify or explain why the court should or should not grant a motion or a relief. Judge Stephen V. Wilson ruled that Yasin, who chose to represent herself, did not provide enough evidence as to why the court should pursue with the case.“The file in this case lacks the papers that would show it is being timely prosecuted, as reflected below,” Wilson wrote in the order dated March 28. “Accordingly, the Court, on its own motion, hereby orders plaintiff(s) to show cause in writing no later than April 4, 2023 why this action should not be dismissed as to all remaining defendants, for lack of prosecution.” Nipsey Hussle released "Hussle & Motivate" back in February of 2018. It was featured on his debut album Victory Lap, which earned him a Grammy nomination for Best Rap Album.

It's been four years since Nipsey Hussle left this world. On Friday (March 31), <a href="https://www.hot97.com/hot-news/lauren-london-opens-up-on-gun-violence-raising-black-boys-in-america" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Lauren London</a> is remembering the life and legacy of the man she called a boyfriend and father with a heartfelt tribute."I hold my breath all of March knowing I have to face the memory of the day you transitioned," the actress wrote in an Instagram post. "Holding on to ancient wisdom but the pain is the pain and nothing was ever the same. Eternal Being. Ermias Asghedom. I love you."London's tribute ended with a quote from Baha'i Sacred Writings. It reads, “To consider that after the death of the body the spirit perishes is like imagining that a bird in a cage will be destroyed if the cage is broken, though the bird has nothing to fear from the destruction of the cage. Our body is like the cage, and the spirit is like the bird. We see that without the cage this bird flies in the world of sleep; therefore, if the cage becomes broken, the bird will continue and exist. Its feelings will be even more powerful, its perceptions greater, and its happiness increased. In truth, from hell it reaches a paradise of delights because for the thankful birds there is no paradise greater than freedom."Nipsey Hussle, at the age of 33, was fatally shot on March 31, 2019 outside of his <a href="https://www.googleadservices.com/pagead/aclk?sa=L&ai=DChcSEwjloffRqI7-AhUzypQJHW2SAWwYABAAGgJ5bQ&ae=2&ohost=www.google.com&cid=CAESZeD2xtP5_nS-jm25r17TK5nltLZgt5IMbJ1JEWN4ayybIiFZvq3JZWfbBX1KxwqQYeQf6pt2m3J6BiYGO98VWLH_9h4lF2lfxKsqZZLrj7-PCkUkIb5_WeKNsrf6W4El9UpSFMu_&sig=AOD64_3yOAwZzJuNupYWklJWh5bvsUrRwA&q&adurl&ved=2ahUKEwiO5uzRqI7-AhX0FVkFHVDuBcAQ0Qx6BAgHEAE&nis=8&dct=1" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Marathon Clothing store</a> in Central Los Angeles. Eric Holder, a 29-year-old man, was arrested and charged with murder two days later. On July 6, 2022 he was found guilty of first-degree-murder. The couple began dating in 2013 after meeting on social media. They have a son, Kross Ermias Asghedom, together.https://www.instagram.com/p/CqdIIDKLOs0/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link

According to prosecutors, the father-of-two was killed in a calculated, premeditated fashion over a discussion about snitching. The Victory Lap rapper was only 33 years old. May Nipsey Hussle continue to rest in peace.See related posts below:https://twitter.com/JamesQueallyLAT/status/1628485849708101633?s=20https://twitter.com/JamesQueallyLAT/status/1628487432286121985?s=20

They deserve that.”Laruen also reveals that her oldest son, Kameron Carter, encouraged her to start working again.“You know, when you lose someone, they’re on the other side wanting you to continue life, as well,” London further stated. “So, I just always think about what I know Nip would want me to do and what I know my children deserve.
