From her being featured on Adult Swim show “Rick and Morty”, fans creating tons of merchandise and more — she essentially became a pop icon for many Americans. Her outspoken and brave personality stuck out to many, which resulted in her being the only Supreme Court justice to ever obtain such respect and recognition.
And on top of that, people gave her an honorable nickname. Born and raised in Brooklyn, it only makes sense she was named, “Notorious RBG,” originally from “Notorious BIG” rapper Biggie Smalls.
