Roomies didn’t just notice the photos—they felt them. A new family moment between Nipsey Hussle’s daughter. Emani Asghedom. and her uncle. Blacc Sam. quickly made its way online. pulling fans into comments filled with pride. emotion. and the kind of “look how grown you are” energy that only major milestones can spark.
Emani Asghedom has officially graduated from high school. The 17-year-old celebrated the occasion alongside her uncle, Blacc Sam, in pictures shared to Instagram by her mother, Tanisha Foster, on Friday. Foster captioned the post with a simple, powerful message: “Congratulations to my baby.”
Just days before that graduation celebration. social media had already been buzzing with love for Emani after a video of her fresh hairstyle circulated. Celebrity hairstylist Curt Cobain posted a clip of Emani on Instagram. and fans reacted to her voluminous curls and effortless glam. It wasn’t immediately clear if the hairstyle was for graduation festivities or another special event. but the comments moved fast—heart-eye emojis and messages from supporters who say they’ve watched Emani grow up over the years.
In the graduation photos, fans also couldn’t stop focusing on the resemblance. Many pointed out how much Blacc Sam looks like Nipsey Hussle, with several users calling them “twins” and saying the family likeness was especially striking in the moment captured in the images.
One Instagram user, @lovingmefirstt_, wrote, “She did it Nip !!!!. We miss u 🙏🏽🙏🏽💙.” @shantelledominica93 added. “The brother the daddy.” @devika_renade shared. “Why I thought this was Nipsey hussle for second….” @hey.mrs.tre posted. “I love how Blacc Sam is standing in for Nipsey 😢💙🏁.” @ebonyisthatdiva told Emani. “Congratulations. Emani. On this great accomplishment. your father would be extremely proud of his babygirl 👏🥳.” And @philly__freckles closed with. “She’s so beautiful!. I know her Dad is smiling down 🏁💙.”.
The milestone landed with extra weight because Nipsey Hussle had spoken about the values he wanted his daughter to carry—long before the photos started circulating. Before his passing in 2019. Hussle said he used their daily rides to school to teach Emani about leadership. confidence. and integrity. “That’s our script every morning,” he shared at the time.
Fans may also remember Emani appearing with her father during the 2019 Grammy Awards, when his debut album, ‘Victory Lap,’ was nominated for Best Rap Album.
Hussle was also the father of 9-year-old Kross, whom he shares with Lauren London. London additionally shares son Kameron with her ex-fiancé, Lil Wayne.
Taken together—the graduation photos. the styling clip from Curt Cobain. and the rush of comments tying Emani’s growth back to the lessons Nipsey talked about—made the moment feel bigger than a single post. For supporters watching from the outside, it wasn’t just a ceremony. It was proof of how a parent’s words can keep living on.

Wait so she’s 17 already?? Congrats I guess. Blacc Sam really looks like Nipsey though.
I saw the hairstyle video too, the curls were so loud lol. Not sure if it was for grad or something else but either way she looks grown. Love the family pics, makes me emotional.
The brother the daddy is crazy like… but I thought Blacc Sam was the dad? maybe I got it twisted. Either way she really does look like him, I legit was like “that’s Nipsey” for a second.
Roomies be wild, but I get it. Graduation pics always hit different. I’m just confused why folks keep calling them twins when it’s literally her uncle?? Like I know people look alike, but people be jumping to conclusions. Still happy for her though.
