Nipsey Hussle’s funeral at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles, California on April 12, 2019 was an emotional service where family and friends celebrated the life of the late rapper.
One person who amazed viewers and guests with how well she handled the funeral was Nip’s longtime partner Lauren London. The actress gave a moving speech and held her own behind a pair of sunglasses and a white outfit.
During the debut episode of Angie Martinez’s new In Real Life podcast, London reflected on Nipsey’s funeral and recalled receiving a pep talk from Diddy before she spoke to the audience.
“Somebody pulled me aside,” she said. Puff, Puff pulled me aside and was like, ‘Look, Boog, you have showed everybody what it looks like to hold a man down and to love him. Now show them what it looks like when it all crumbles. That’s your responsibility.'”
She added of the funeral, “I just felt like it was surreal. I can honestly say God was carrying me through that cause I didn’t even want to get dressed. I was going to wear sweats.”
Lauren is the truth. and this interview will stay with me forever. ????
