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.
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.
