Nipsey Hussle's Tour Manager Names Newborn Son After Late Rapper

Nipsey Hussle's tour manager has honored his late client in one of the most touching ways.

On Friday (April 26), Jorge Peniche, who was also Nipsey's business partner and close friend, announced on Instagram that he and his wife, Letty Martinez, welcomed a son and named him after Nipsey.

"World, please welcome our new son," he captioned a black-and-white photo of his newborn baby boy holding his finger. "Luis Ermias Peniche." As fans know, Ermias was Nipsey's legal first name, which translates to "God Will Rise," marking yet another way the late rapper's name and legacy will live on.

Nipsey's longtime girlfriend, Lauren London, also honored him in a similar fashion. Hours after the 34-year-old actress said her final goodbye to Nipsey at his Celebration of Life memorial service, Lauren shared a heartwarming photo of her permanent tribute to him — a tattoo of his face on her lower arm above the words "God will rise."

"Real Love Never Dies," she captioned an Instagram photo of her tat. "When you see me, you will always see him #LoveYouHussle #TMC."

As fans know, Nipsey, who was known for his philanthropy and large heart, was gunned down outside his clothing store on March 31. Since his sudden death, the late rapper and activist has been memorialized in his hometown of Crenshaw with multiple murals, a number of celebrations of his life, and the renaming of the intersection of Crenshaw Boulevard and Slauson Avenue to "Nipsey Hussle Square." Nipsey's philanthropic efforts were also made part of United States History.

Most recently, Nipsey fans have started a Twitter campaign asking that Crayola rename one of its newest shades of blue after the 33-year-old rapper and activist. Even Lebron James has gotten in on the crayon petition, asking the company to rename its crayon "Bluetiful" to "Nipsey Blue."
