It has been a somewhat strange turn of events in the ongoing custody battle over Nipsey Hussle’s 10 year old daughter, Emani Asghedom.
As we previously reported, Nipsey had primary custody the daughter he shares with his ex, Tanisha Foster. After he was senselessly killed in April 15th, Nipsey’s sister, Samantha Smith, filed for emergency custody of Emani…but so did Emani’s mother, Tanisha.
Long story short, the Los Angeles’ Department of Children and Family Services stepped in shortly before the emergency placement hearing for Emani was scheduled to take place, in order to determine which household would best serve Emani.
Fast forward to Friday (May 17th) and Tanisha is now claiming that Nipsey’s sister pretty much has stolen Emani from her. Peep the latest on their court battle below:
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.”
