Things may get sticky in the custody battle for Nipsey’s daughter, Emani.
According to The Blast, Samantha Smith put forth the guardianship request without notifying Emani’s mother, Tanisha. However, the biological mother had already motioned for guaranteed joint custody with the deceased artist. Precisely, the 2013 order gave both parents the legal and physical custody of the child. Hence, in the event Tanisha chose to fight Smith’s petition, she may be legally entitled to do so.
The latter could be problematic as it may also result in Tanisha motioning for child support from Nipsey’s estate. This would then accrue to a costly amount considering the recent surge in music sales and clothing merchandise purchases following Hussle’s passing. For now, however, Emani’s mother does not appear to have set forth anything in return and no decisions have been made with regards to Samantha’s request. We expect more information on this matter in the future.
