  • After news of rapper Nipsey Hussle ’s violent death shocked the hip-hop and entertainment worlds, a report circulated that Jay-Z had established a hefty trust fund for the late rapper’s two children. As heartwarming as it sounded, however, the account was rapidly debunked by multiple entertainment websites and blogs . The story of the supposed trust fund was published on April 4 on PopularSuperStarz.com. The article, which has been shared on Facebook more than 2,200 times, was flagged as part of the social media platform’s efforts to combat false news and misinformation on its News Feed. (Read more about our partnership with Facebook .) The story does not provide any source for its claim. It simply says that Jay-Z quietly put together a trust fund for Nipsey’s children and you won’t guess how much it’s worth. It then goes on to allege Jay-Z made Hussle’s partner, Lauren London, the executor of a trust that is worth $15 million; its beneficiaries are his daughter Emani and son (with London), Kross. We attempted to contact the author of the article, or anyone who writes for the website, but no contact information exists on the website. Its Facebook page appears to have been taken down. Jay-Z did have a relationship with Hussle . And after Hussle’s death, Jay-Z posted a picture of Hussle on his Instagram account with the caption: RIP Nipsey Hussle. Another tragic loss for Hip-Hop. Condolences to his family. In fact, according to Los Angeles Police Commissioner Steve Soboroff, Hussle and representatives of Jay-Z’s Roc Nation had scheduled a meeting with the agency to talk about ways (Hussle) could help stop gang violence. It was slated to take place the day after Hussle died. We ( @LAPDChiefMoore and I ) were meeting , at the request of @NipseyHussle with him and @rocnation tomorrow at 4pm to talk about ways he could help stop gang violence and help us help kids. I’m so very sad https://t.co/rcGtvw9c6L — Steve Soboroff (@SteveSoboroff) April 1, 2019 But there is no evidence to suggest that Jay-Z has arranged a trust fund for Hussle’s kids. And not a single credible media outlet or entertainment news website has reported on the alleged donation. We reached out to Jay-Z’s record label, Roc Nation, for comment on the story but did not hear back. Soon after the trust fund story was discredited, fans quickly took to social media to call it out: not ONE credible website reported jay z setting up a trust fund for nipsey hussle's kids. just one particular website known for clickbait and posting fake news. google is your friend. — DoggieDiamondsNoFilter (@DoggieDiamonds) April 4, 2019 Jay-Z waking up this morning discovering the world was under the assumption that he set up a $15 million dollar trust fund for Nipsey's kids pic.twitter.com/ec7pjKKaGX — King (@Sportaphile) April 4, 2019 Lol Oh yea BTW...That FAKE CLICKBAIT story about Eric Holder’s family members getting killed also came from the SAME WEBSITE that told y’all Jay-Z made a $15 mil trust fund for Nipsey’s kids, but hey what do I know , I only do my homework before posting 🤷🏾‍♂️🚨 — beefALERT (@beefalertnow) April 5, 2019 Our ruling A story posted on an entertainment blog claims that Jay-Z set up a $15 million trust fund for the late Nipsey Hussle’s children. The report was soon discredited as being inauthentic by several hip-hop websites and we could find no evidence or details to suggest that such a donation was made. This is Pants on Fire!
