"Trauma feels so lonely and just in talking to them, they gave me so much more than I feel like I gave to them."
Recently, London opened up to the public about her grief as she penned an emotional birthday tribute on Hussle's 35th. As she reflected on the year since his death, she wrote:
"The Spiritual Giant that walked Earth. 'I Miss You' will never be deep enough for the void left in my soul. Yet, I know you walk with me."
