Kross Ermias Asghedom is the child of the entrepreneur and rapper, Airmiess Asghedom, who later became famous as Nipsey Hussle. His mom is Lauren London, a long-time girlfriend, and she’s into acting, modeling, and TV.
So, little Kross Ermias Asghedom with Jewish roots is African American from his grandparents. Born on August 31, 2016, he’ll turn 7 in August 2023.
