Family members of slain rap legend Nipsey Hussle shared joyous photos of his daughter graduating from elementary school on Saturday.
Ten-year-old Emani Asghedom posted video of her speech at the ceremony where she thanked her father and mother for their support and love.
"I want to begin by sharing my thankfulness for my mom for believing in me, and my dad, for always being there for me," she told the crowd.

Emani has been living with Nipsey's sister, Samantha Smith, since he was shot to death outside of his Marathon Clothing store in Los Angeles in March.
"Just to see a lot of people surrounding her with love & light it’s beautiful. You’re father is definitely smiling really big right now. I know he is so proud of you," Smith wrote in a lengthy Instagram post.
"Such a strong solid family. Let’s please continue to lift them all up with prayers & a lot of guidance????????????. Nipsey has definitely raised a smart queen."
Smith has been battling Emani's mother, Tanisha Foster, for custody since the rapper's death.
On Sunday, Nipsey was honored with the Humanitarian Award at the 2019 BET Awards. DJ Khaled, John Legend, YG and Marsha Ambrosius also delivered a tribute performance at the award show in Los Angeles.
