“Tanisha’s motivation for doing so was in recognition of her own financial limitations; her desire to maintain the standard of living and family contact the minor had experienced with the paternal family prior to her father’s death; and upon the verbal assurances that each of them would act in the best interests of Emani,” according to court documents.

Furthermore, the documents state that Tanisha believes the family favors actress Lauren London, Nipsey Hussle’s widow and the mother of his son, Kross.

However, the information contained within the document appears to paint a picture of a mother in distress.

“I have continued to be an active part of Emani’s life. She spends the night with me often, I take her to school, and I continue to do the things a parent would do with their child. I am very unhappy that the guardians will not take my calls. They have blocked me on their cell phones. I have to go through a third party or Emani to communicate with the guardians.”

Foster is asking for a “neutral experience financial planner” to be in charge of Emani’s inheritance from her father. The family was scheduled to appear in court on March 25, 2022.

Last year, Emani received accolades from her late father’s celebrity friends, T.I. and YG, after a video surfaced of her singing Whitney Houston’s classic cover of Dolly Parton’s “I Will Always Love You.”
