Queen Elizabeth II, the longest reigning monarch in the British history, has died aged 96, and many from the world of Hip Hop have paid tribute.
The Queen died on Thursday (September 8) at Balmoral, near Aberdeen in Scotland, surrounded by her family who were called to gather at her estate earlier in the day after concerns grew about her health.
“The Queen died peacefully at Balmoral this afternoon,” a statement from Buckingham Palace said. “The King and the Queen Consort will remain at Balmoral this evening and will return to London tomorrow.”
A number of Hip Hop and R&B artists have taken to social media to pay tribute to the late monarch, including Nicki Minaj, who herself is often referred to as “The Queen.” The Young Money rapper shared her condolences on Twitter sharing the Royal Family’s official statement regarding QEII’s death.
Ruff Ryders rapper Eve shared an iconic photograph of the late monarch, writing: “Rest in peace #QueenElizabeth.”
Janet Jackson also paid tribute, sharing an old photograph of her meeting the Queen whilst dressed in her Rhythm Nation military attire. She captioned the post: “May you Rest In Peace Queen.”
Queen Elizabeth II came to the throne in 1952. Her 70-year tenure as head of state saw her endure post-war austerity, the switch from empire to Commonwealth, the end of the Cold War and the UK’s entry into – and withdrawal from – the European Union (EU).
Her reign spanned 15 prime ministers starting with Winston Churchill, born in 1874, and ending with Liz Truss, who was appointed by the Queen earlier this week.

Pedophile protector
100 percent. Harboured a paedophile!
£15 million of tax payers money paid to protect her Paedophile son!!!
So black people are sad about the death of Elizabeth II? What happened to the white supremacy hate? They forgot Queen Elizabeth I brought the first African slaves to American. They’re not angry about how her family enslaved millions of Africans?
Those tweets are just them being polite. Most black folk don’t gaf about them at all
Well, unless you want to live in a society where you are judged or convicted for your family members, ancestors actions. Do you think if your bother or father murders some people that you should also be hated and condemned?
youre comparing one of the worst acts in history closely related with the royal family to an isolated scenario? F@#k the queen and her colonizer ancestors. the blood on that families hands couldn’t be washed with all the tears of every slave that died from those bastards.

Slavery isn’t an isolated scenario though. Name an ethnicity, I can name a genocide or slave trade. Dude. I bet you are aware of the slavery going on in Asia and Africa today… yet you’d love to own and electric vehicle (African kids mine cobalt and die young) or buy that new iPhone or Gucci made by Asian sweatshop workers. I’m so sick of people thinking they have high morals when we KNOW FOR A FACT many goods we purchase are produced by people working in conditions that any American would agree is slavery.
She ran THE money. Banks know her well. RIP tho!
So it’s official, Prince Charles is now King of England… Sure hope the Royal family can somehow harmonize with each other.
F THE QUEEN.
Why u h8 black wimmen so much? They iz queenz
why does camilla parker bowles look like david bowie in drag.
She and Pat Stay in the same week? God is good!
i honestly hope your dad and mom are dead, hopefully. i pray it was painful. i also hope when u have kids are autistic nah RE FUCCKIN TARDED. people like you are the worst in the world. you say IM GLAD THIS PERSON IS DEAD. knowing dead well no one outside of your dead parents care about you. you are worthless to humanity. i hope NOTHING but pain on you. i hope u have 7 kids and they all die of cancer. you are what is wrong with the world and the internet. i hope tomorrow you take a good ass look in the mirror. and i hope you pray for your family. because praying for death and making fun of dead people is not cool. haha u said a thing that makes u think ur tough. you literally would get beat the shit out off by MULTIPLE people on your street alone. you are an asexual loser. who thinks making fun of dead people who people are praising currently is funny. i honestly and deeply with my heart hope you find solace.
Ill never understand why people like you allow others to trigger you. Be careful what you put out in the world, it only will reflect poorly on you, sir/maam.
Bro got so heated about what a stranger says on the internet. Needs to get that sand out his vagina
She had the right of veto and still she has not prevented the Falkland war, UK’s participation in the Gulf wars and in Afghanistan, nor the bombing of Serbia and Libya by British NATO soldiers. She also hasn’t given quarter to Alan Turing, the forefather of modern computers. She could have saved thousands from death and millions from misery, but she didn’t.
I try to never say anything bad about a deceased person, but screw every monarchy around the world and every member of it. Why are they so much wealthier and better off than the rest of us? Because they installed an extremely corrupt system centuries ago that is supposed to put them way above everyone else? Hundreds of millions of people mourn and worry for these people, they celebrate THEIR birthdays and so forth. I never understood for what. I don’t buy into this bs.
You sound like Megan Markle you dumb inbred fuck. Read a history book or if the words are to hard listen to podcast. Doubt your IQ even reaches double figures
You come across more like UBGAY-Boy the way you defend kings and queens. It’s funny you’re trying to sound intelligent and trying to make me sound like a ‘low IQ individual’ but can’t even tell the difference between ‘to’ and ‘too’. Well, let me tell you motherf’er. It’s ‘TOO hard’, not ‘to hard’. Who’s the inbred dumb motherf’er now? Oh, and use punctuations so called intelligent clown lmao.
AHAHAHAHAHA CMU “INTELLIGENT CLOWN”??
Im worm food like Pat Stay too.
it’s sad to see people jump on a bandwagon, especially one of nastiness & hate, with no basic understanding or grasp of history. How about you do something more meaningful with your time instead of posting such comments on a hiphop website…you can begin with a simple task such as reading a book…
wtf you talking about.
People like to express themselves with others. You don’t know this?
Ayo… FUCK the Queen. Fuck Monarchs. Fuck King Charles. Fuck them kids of his, too. I give no fucks about aristocrats and nobles and shit. Fuck these bastards. Fuck their teeth. Fuck their food. Fuck their mouths. Fuck ’em.
Sounds like you’re living a miserable life lol
Damn
Rest in peace to all of the 90 plus year olds who passed away without being able to see their loved ones and with bad nursing home care, especially during the pandemic. Nothing against this lady but she passed away with mortgages on her ears
Never heard her say anything cool or funny. She didn’t seem like the type of person you’d go out for drinks with after work.
Not unless you’re into drinking blood and adrenochrome
Lots of hate for the this lady who is more of a woman than most will ever be, and who was more of an actual leader than most of our so called politicians here.
Well said, unpopular opinion.
Smack dem lips over those jail cell doors @fuck the queen.
Your time is clocking down, bitch.
