Nipsey Hussle’s children were awarded proceeds from his estate.
The rapper and entrepreneur, also known as Ermias Joseph Asghedom, was shot and killed on March 31, 2019, in Los Angeles. His family continues to keep his legacy alive not only through his music but also through his business ventures, including The Marathon Clothing store, which his two children own, as AFROTECH™ previously reported.
“When I say we own it, it’s in Hussle’s kids’ names,” Samiel “Blacc Sam” Asghedom, the late rapper’s brother, said on the “Earn Your Leisure” podcast, according to Boardroom. “This is something their father worked for, and that they own, and that’s important to me. Also, just having a brick-and-mortar once again reinforced what Hussle told us and taught us.”
He added, “Whether your sh-t boomin’ online [or not], just having that brick-and-mortar and being able to pass it down through the family, I think is important.”
Located on the same lot in Los Angeles is Marathon Burger, which opened in 2025, thanks to co-founder Blacc Sam. Marathon Burger expanded to other locations, including Long Beach, CA, in February, according to AFROTECH™.
Children Have Received Proceeds From Estate
Blacc Sam is also managing the estate of his late brother. Nipsey Hussle is survived by his children Emani Asghedom, 17, and Kross, 9. His children are the sole beneficiaries of the estate, Black Millionaires reports. As a result, they were awarded cash and additional assets valued at an estimated $11 million, TheGrio reports.
Lauren London, who was dating Nipsey Hussle when he died, signed a document confirming that her son, Kross, received his share of the estate’s proceeds, TMZ reports.
The update on the estate’s proceeds follows a legal dispute between Blacc Sam and Emani’s mother, Tanisha Foster. A resolution was reached between the two parties in 2025, the outlet notes.
The payout also follows disputes over the trademark for “The Marathon Continues” slogan and the estate’s initial valuation, which was estimated at around $4 million before it grew to include additional business assets, per TheGrio.
