Lauren London Shares Emotional Message To Nipsey Hussle In Funeral Program

Lauren London loved Nipsey Hussle.

In a final tribute to the love of her life, the 34-year-old actress shared a heartbreaking text message, which she'd sent to Nipsey months before his murder, printed in the late rapper's funeral program.

"I’m in bed with you while you’re sleeping and I wanted to tell u something," read the message written on January 21, 2019. "I want you to know I feel real joy in my heart when I’m around you. I feel safe around you. Protected. Like a shield over me when you’re around. I am totally myself with you (which is prob why I’m annoying) because I don’t wear a cool mask anymore lol."

"You’ve made me into more of a woman. You’ve given me an opportunity to really love a man," Lauren continued. "You’ve been with me while I’ve been sick. Through my fears. U have encouraged me, and inspired me to reach higher. I’ve learned so much more about myself with you. You’ve been my turn up and my church. I wouldn’t want to go thru this journey with anyone but you."

"I look up to you in a lot of ways and strive to educate myself more like you have. And when we’re at odds… I feel defeated and sad, knowing we are so much better than that. I just want you to know that you’ve been the greatest boyfriend to me," Lauren wrote. "You aren’t perfect but I would never ask you to be. You and I work. We fit. And…. you’re still the coolest guy in the world to me. Still! I love you so much. Unconditionally. My truth is this. I’m never going to give up on you. My loyalty and devotion is to you."

Nipsey's family, friends, and fans gathered to say their final goodbyes to the 33-year-old rapper and activist on Thursday (April 11). The late rapper's memorial service, which his family called a celebration of his life, was held at Los Angeles' Staples Center.

The service brought out some of the biggest names in entertainment, including James Harden, Big Sean, Meek Mill, G-Eazy, DJ Khaled, Kendrick Lamar, LeBron James, The Game, Marsha Ambrosius, Snoop Dogg, Jhene Aiko, YG, Stevie Wonder, Big Boy, and many more.
