The intersection of Crenshaw Boulevard and Slauson Avenue was dedicated to late rapper Nipsey Hussle Saturday ... and Nipsey's former partner Lauren London said he always knew it would be.

Lauren held back tears as she addressed the crowd at the newly named Nipsey Hussle Square, saying, "When me and Nip first started dating, we would drive by over here and he would be like, 'You know, Boogie, one day, they're gonna name this whole section after me.' And here we are today."

The original location for Nipsey's The Marathon clothing store was located near the intersection that now bears his name. Nipsey was tragically murdered outside of the storefront in 2019, and the store was closed. But the brand lives on, and now his name is indelibly linked with the crossing.

Chloe Kim had no idea she was scouting her future boyfriend the first time she saw Myles Garrett play … because she thought she was there for a Martin Garrix concert.

Meanwhile, Garrett’s on the field wreaking havoc -- and Chloe’s wondering why the “performer” hasn’t taken the stage.

She even admitted she thought the DJ was “wack” for not showing up … only to realize later the whole point of the trip was to see Myles dominate, not drop a beat.
