Since the rapper’s passing, Smith has tried to convince the court that the child’s mother, Tanisha Foster, isn’t fit to be take care Emani. Most recently, reports emerged that revealed Foster’s 18-year-old daughter has been in and out the prison system since the age 12. Apparently, Tanisha’s 18-year-old is currently in a juvenile detention center and can’t be released because she doesn’t have a GED or a stable enough environment to return to.
