Following the tragic murder of Nipsey Hussle in March 2019, his estate has been skillfully managed by his brother, Samiel “Blacc Sam” Asghedom. Nipsey’s children, Emani and Kross Asghedom, were ensured ownership of the rapper’s Marathon Clothing store, preserving their father’s legacy through tangible assets. Blacc Sam emphasized the importance of sustaining Nipsey’s entrepreneurial spirit and his commitment to community growth by maintaining brick-and-mortar establishments.
Blacc Sam has expanded Nipsey’s business footprint by launching Marathon Burger at the same location as Marathon Clothing and growing the brand into the Long Beach, California market with support from the Broadus Family. This expansion aligns with Nipsey’s original vision to inspire resilience and progress within the community. The continued development of these enterprises demonstrates Blacc Sam’s devotion to nurturing the Marathon brand and honoring Nipsey’s motivational message.
Originally, Nipsey Hussle’s estate was valued at just over $4 million. Through strategic management and business growth over seven years, Blacc Sam nearly tripled its worth to almost $11 million. The estate has now been finalized and the assets have been distributed to Nipsey’s children, marking a significant milestone in safeguarding the family's financial future while upholding the late artist's legacy.
Blacc Sam and the estate have expressed gratitude to supporters and remain committed to protecting the privacy of Nipsey’s loved ones. The careful stewardship and expansion efforts have not only increased the estate's financial value but have also ensured that Nipsey Hussle’s entrepreneurial and community-focused vision continues to thrive through his children and the Marathon brand.
