Lauren London made an appearance on the “A Really Good Cry” podcast with Radhi Devlukia where she had a honest conversation about moving through grief and self acceptance.
Lauren not only shared her touching story of love and loss, offering heartfelt insights into finding strength and purpose through spiritual connection but she also shared how she met the love of her life, Nipsey Hussle.
She said:
“I do remember how we met,” the actress began while adding that she was working on a set and wanted to gift her co-workers Crenshaw merchandise. “I was like, ‘It would be really cool if I, like, got them his mixtape and all the Crenshaw stuff.’” She added, “I didn’t get the discount, either.”
After making the purchase she followed Nip on Instagram, and then he DM’ed her.
“He DM’d me, like, ‘Hey, thank you. Thanks for the support, appreciate you, send me your sizes so I can send you a personal box,’” she went on before sharing that he gave her his number, too. “I text him, because I was like, I don’t do DMs… Yeah, I thought he was fine.”
During the podcast the ladies also dived into practical strategies for managing grief, like the healing power of prayer and journaling.

After dating for three years, Lauren London and Nipsey Hussle welcomed a son in 2016, named Kross Ermias Asghedom. Nipsey also had a daughter from a previous relationship, while Lauren has a son with rapper Lil Wayne.
Tragically, on March 31, 2019, Nipsey was shot and killed outside his beloved store, and since then, his loved ones and the hip-hop community have worked to keep his legacy alive.
In 2020, Lauren partnered with Puma for the “Forever Stronger” collection, a tribute to the West Coast icon, with proceeds supporting his Neighborhood Nip foundation.
After stepping away from acting for a time, the 39-year-old returned in 2020 with the movie Without Remorse and Netflix’s You People.
