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.

The US House votes to overturn Trump's tariffs on Canada

The US House of Representatives has voted to rescind US President Donald Trump's tariffs on Canadian goods. In a 219 to 211 vote, six Republican lawmakers joined Democrats to back a resolution that seeks to end the tariffs Trump imposed on Canada last year.  The vote is largely symbolic as it will still need to be approved by the US Senate and then approved by Trump, who is very unlikely to sign it into law.  Since his re-election, Donald Trump has imposed a series of tariffs on Canada, recen
