Known for her comedic antics on social media, Washington rose to fame after a 2015 interview with HotNewHipHop where she hilariously predicts that Hillary Clinton will become president, denounces ISIS and expresses her love for Jay-Z.

When asked if she was aware of the streaming service TIDAL, she replied, “That’s my s**t. I f***s with JAY-Z.”

“JAY-Z earned all his money. JAY-Z is not Illuminati. You hating ass n****s that's hating on JAY, If he wants to be Illuminati, let him, but JAY-Z is a real n***a,” Washington continued before playing and rapping along to Hov’s “Imaginary Players.”

Details surrounding Washington’s death have not been publicly disclosed. She leaves behind a son, who reportedly created a GoFundMe account in order to raise money for his mother’s funeral costs.
