Share this post

The hearts of Brooklyn are mourning. The death of their "Queen of Brooklyn" is nothing short of a tradgedy. An outcry of support flooded the internet with unbelief and prayers for the unofficial legend of the borough. According to news sources, Nenobia Washington fell from the sixth floor of a building to her death on Saturday night, October 30. At a nearby hospital, they pronounced her dead.

TMZ reported that David Jackson, the father of Washington's son, believes that she fell from the window. Other sources told TMZ that she jumped. As of now, the official cause of her death is unclear.

When HotNewHipHop interviewed her on camera, in 2015, Washington passionately stated her stance on all things Jay-Z, Little Kim and more. After the outlet posted the video, her remarks went viral. From then on, Washington's popularity continued to rise, giving life to the name "Queen of Brooklyn."

When fans, and even the music streaming platform TIDAL, heard of her passing, they took to social media to offer their sentiments.

In the words of one of her fans,

R.I.P to an icon, legend, the queen of Brooklyn Bktidalwave, you will be missed queen.

H.E.R. Addresses Talk of a Supergroup With SZA & Ella Mai

It began, as many music conversations now do, with a single post. On February 19, an X user proposed that SZA, H.E.R., and Ella Mai form a trio called S.H.E., a tidy acronym that seemed almost too fitting to ignore. H.E.R. responded briefly but warmly: “Thank you,” followed by a prayer hands emoji. The other two artists have not addressed the suggestion. The idea quickly evolved in the replies. Some fans imagined adding Ari Lennox to expand the lineup, while others playfully suggested entirely

J. Cole Calls His Past Albums “Side Quests,” Says The Fall-Off Isn’t a Goodbye

With the release of The Fall-Off, J. Cole has prompted fans to reconsider how his catalog fits together. In a recent installment of his “Trunk Sale” tour vlog, he spoke candidly about where the album sits in the larger arc of his career. The project, he suggested, serves as the culmination of a story he has been telling since his early mixtape days. In that framing, some of his midcareer releases function less as central chapters and more as creative departures. “If you hear the whole progressi

WILLOW Enters a New Era with Genre‑Bending Project ‘petal rock black’

WILLOW is officially in her petal rock black era, dropping a new project that pushes her even further from her pop‑radio origins and deeper into experimental rock and alt‑soul. Released as a surprise, petal rock black arrives with a moody visual aesthetic and cryptic teases that match the album’s inward‑looking, guitar‑heavy sound. The project builds on the emo, pop‑punk and alt textures of her recent work but layers in heavier, more psychedelic instrumentation, with WILLOW leaning into riff‑dr
