Via The Blast– Foster states that she is Emani Asghedom’s mother and believes the “Law and Policy of this state favors the protection of the rights of natural parents and their children. Objector has statutory priority over petitioner.”
She claims that Emani was visiting Nipsey Hussle on the day that he was killed and says that Smith “unlawfully took the minor and as of this date, despite objectors demand, refused to return the minor to Objector.”
Foster believes that “the best interests” of Emani are not being served by Smith’s “act of removing the minor from her mother’s custody; and by refusing contact between minor and mother.”
When Samantha filed for guardianship of Emani, she reportedly let the court know that she did not want Tanisha to be made aware about her filing just yet.
Additionally, Nipsey’s family is backing Samantha’s request to care for Emani. In fact, his brother, Sam Blacc, his Father have each signed court docs stating that they think Samantha is the best choice to raise Emani.
Nipsey’s Mother has also reportedly stated that she would like to help raise Emani, along with Samantha.
Emani’s mother, Tanisha Foster is now asking the judge to reject Samantha’s filing for custody of Emani. After their court hearing, Tanisha also stated to The Blast “I love my daughter and I’ll do whatever it takes to get her back.”
The judge hasn’t made that final decision as of yet.
