London has been candid about missing Hussle over the years. She told PEOPLE ina 2023 podcast interviewthat while she has been focusing on trying to find peace and celebrate her parenting and career triumphs, she still has “the feeling of there’s one person you wished was here to watch the movie with you.”

“I also don’t want to give a misconception that I’m at peace and I’m walking around on a cloud,” she continued. “I have to wake up with the intention of this every day because there are days I don’t want to, and I’m angry about it. And that’s what healing is. It is up and down, side to side, all over the place. You know what I mean? And with each new level, there’s something else.”
