Lauren London and her sons, Kross Asghedom and Kameron Carter, were in South Los Angeles on Saturday as the city unveiled Nipsey Hussle Square at the intersection of Crenshaw Boulevard and Slauson Avenue.
The street sign honors the late rapper Nipsey Hussle, born Ermias Asghedom, whose life and work were deeply connected to the Crenshaw community.
Speaking to the crowd gathered for the dedication, London reflected on how long the moment had been in the making.
“When me and Nip first started dating, we would drive by over here and he would be like, ‘You know, Boogie, one day, they’re gonna name this whole section after me.’ And here we are today,” she said.

Kameron also spoke and noted that he hadn’t returned to the intersection since Hussle’s death in 2019.
“Coming here was very hard. It’s my first time here since everything. Passing by it always seemed like a negative place. But seeing everybody here today and how we all came out and how it’s named after him, it changes the whole perspective on everything. [It} gives me hope that things can change. And now I feel empowered to be here. And it’s named after him. This is absolutely what he would have wanted,” he said.

He went on to connect the moment to a broader message about unity.
“Right here where everything happened is right where everything will grow. And right here where we all are, it’s only a microcosm of where we are as people in America. We’re going through a very hard time right now. There are a lot of unknowns. Sometimes you can look in the news and be like, there’s no hope. Like how I felt passing by or seeing this, like, this is just sad. All it is sadness. And that’s not all it has to be. If we all can come together, we can all uplift each other and get through these hard times. And these hard times can be the platform for us to grow and get better and get better than we were before. And if you need somebody to look to, to be like, why, why should I fight? Look to Ermias and fight together. We cannot fight divided. Stick together and we will grow and be better than we were before.”
London shares Kameron with rapper Lil Wayne. She and Hussle welcomed their son Kross in 2016. Hussle was also father to a daughter, Emani.
