Nipsey Hussle’s brother, sister & mother will continue to be guardians of the estate for the late rapper’s daughter Emani — but the battle with the 14-year-old's mother is far from over, RadarOnline.com has learned.

According to court documents obtained by RadarOnline.com, a private hearing was held on April 27 in Los Angeles Superior Court where Nipsey’s family and his ex-Tanisha Foster were present. The judge ruled that the family members will manage Emani's estate.

Tanisha, who originally agreed to the guardianship, demanded the court get rid of it. She said she was on board initially due to her “financial limitations” at the time.

“Tanisha’s motivation for doing so was in recognition of her own financial limitations; her desire to maintain the standard of living and family contact the minor had experienced with the paternal family prior to her father’s death; and upon the verbal assurances that each of them would act in the best interests of Emani,” her lawyer said.

Tanisha accused Nipsey’s family members of breaking their promise to her.

She accused his family of using their “financial position and influence to disregard their priorities by controlling the desires of Emani and Tanisha by withholding financial assistance and reducing visitation.”

At the recent hearing, the court ended up awarding guardianship of Emani’s estate to Nipsey’s family. However, the heavily redacted court order noted the judge did not rule on all issues.

The judge set a hearing for July to go over Tanisha's petition to terminate the guardianship.
