Earlier this year, during London's press runs for her Netflix film "You People," starring Jonah Hill, Eddie Murphy, and Nia Long, she exclusively shared details about her life as a single mom.

She said on the podcast that I'm a single mom, so I want to be very realistic with them. Life is tough; I don't want to cushion everything for them. I want them to be prepared for life," she says candidly on the podcast.

The 38-year-old actress explained that she bounces between two modes as a mom. In her words, "I think I'm a balance because sometimes I think I may be going too soft, but I have times where I'm like, 'Hey, hey, hey, you all, come on now. Let's get this together.' I think I'm an old-school mother."

And so I would have to say that every day. I intend to make the best out of what I have. I don't wanna ask God for too much."

Man Convicted Of Killing Nipsey Hussle Sentenced To Decades In Prison

Following the death of the beloved father of two, Eric Holder Jr. was found guilty of first-degree murder in July 2022. The deceased rapper and his shooter were once affiliated with the same gang, the Rollin' 60s. 

But ultimately, Hussle evolved into a well-known opponent of gun violence and a prominent figure in his neighborhood. The Blast reported that a Los Angeles courtroom sentenced Holder to 60 years to life in prison in February of this year. 

The convict attended his sentencing dressed in the usual orange jail attire and remained stoic as they read his sentence. He was also convicted of two counts of attempted voluntary manslaughter brought on by his causing two bystanders harm when he attacked Hussle.

Per the publication, a friend of the late rapper gave an emotional speech, and the courts read a letter from Holder's father before Superior Court Judge H. Clay Jacke handed down the sentence.

Holder's attorney, Aaron Jansen, had pushed for a reduced conviction, arguing that the shooting should only carry a sentence of either manslaughter or second-degree murder. But, in the end, the judge did not budge as he delivered a verdict to uphold the initial charges.
