Nipsey Hussle's daughter, Emani Asghedom, has graduated from high school.

In a photo posted to Instagram on Friday (May 29) by her mother, Tanisha Foster, the 17-year-old posed at a post-graduation party with her uncle, Hussle’s older brother Blacc Sam.

Hussle, who was slain on March 31, 2019, also shares a son with Lauren London, 9-year-old Kross. The ATL actor also shares a 16-year-old son, Kameron, with her ex-fiancé, rapper Lil Wayne.

During his life, Hussle doted on being a father and attended the 2019 Grammy Awards with his daughter when his debut album, Victory Lap, was nominated for Best Rap Album.

Months before his passing, the late rapper was interviewed by NBA star Stephen Curry and spoke about teaching Emani about "leadership" and "confidence" each day while taking her to school.

"That’s our script every morning," Hussle said in the video below. "It seems basic, but I want her to get older and look back on the things that I thought was important: integrity, confidence and being a leader."

Emani and Kross are the sole beneficiaries of Hussle’s $11 million estate and will split the late rapper's assets evenly upon turning 18.

Hussle's legacy continues to be honored through Blacc Sam’s California-based restaurant chain Marathon Burger, along with posthumous sneaker collaborations and a Los Angeles intersection being renamed in his honor. A posthumous album by the rapper and artist Bino Rideaux is slated to release this summer.

In April, James Harden and Adidas partnered with the late rapper's streetwear brand, The Marathon Clothing, for a new iteration of the Harden Vol. 10.

Dubbed "Marathon," the TMC x Adidas Harden Vol. 10 collab is dressed in Nipsey’s and the clothing label's signature royal blue hue. This pair also features "The Marathon Continues" flag stamped on the heel as well as "Crenshaw" printed on the insoles. Breaking up the look is the white Three Stripes branding running down the heel of the outsoles.
