The Dipset family has been dealt a massive blow following the news that Natoya Handy, better known as Jha Jha, has died.
At just 40 years old, the woman who famously held the title of “First Lady of Dipset” leaves behind a void in the heart of Harlem’s most iconic collective. The news has sparked an immediate wave of grief among those who followed her journey from the early 2000s to her more recent creative work.
Jha Jha was more than just a name on the roster; she was a true pioneer for women in a crew defined by its gritty, male-dominated energy.
