Rapper Leikeli47 Photographed By Hedi Slimane For Celine
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Michael Kovac / Getty Hedi Slimane must be a Hip-Hop head, with good taste. The renowned fashion designer has photographed Brooklyn rapper Leikeli47 for a series of portraits for Celine. If you’re unfamiliar, Leikeli47, born Hasben Jones, is known for covering her face up with a mask when she performs, but moreso for the sharp bars. She recently dropped a new single called “Chitty Bang,” which was featured on EA Sports’ Madden 22 and an Apple iPhone commercial while her last proper album was 2018’s Acrylic. So props to Hedi Slimane aka the Creative Director of luxury fashion brand Celine, for featuring Leikeli in his latest set of portraits, outfitted in some mean Celine fits, too. Leikeli is seen rocking a Celine bandana scarf, naturally, as well as a tr...
Brawl Erupts At Golden Corral Over Sold-Out Steak, Understandable Or Nah?
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: John Greim / Getty The old notion of “Never get in-between a man and his food” was taken to a whole other level on Friday (January 28) when a brawl broke out at a Golden Corral in Bensalem, PA. According to CBS Philly, things got wild after a customer learned that the restaurant had run out of steak and though no one knows exactly why so many people ended up in the brouhaha, they did and not only were punches thrown, but chairs were flung like party favors and customers mad a run for cover. Bensalem police confirmed the brawl and say more than 40 people were involved in the melee that could’ve started after someone cut the line to get their grub on. Maybe he got the last piece of steak? Regardless, it was quite the scene. “I’ve never seen nothing like tha...
Jay Electronica Salutes The Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan With Face Tattoo
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Johnny Nunez / Getty Jay Electronica emerged from the primordial ooze in 2020 and delivered the long-awaited A Written Testimony, and he went on an electrifying feature spree in 2021. The New Orleans wordsmith has displayed great regard for the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan across previous verses but a new face tattoo saluting the Nation of Islam leader upped the ante. The first image most saw of the tattoo, which spells out Farrakhan, was seen on Electronica’s Instagram page with the image squarely focused on the artwork. Electronica attached Westside Gunn’s “Free Kutter” track which he also featured on. A larger image of the tattoo was shared by TIDAL’s Elliott Wilson via his Instagram page, which also showed Electronica with a mouthful of gold tee...

TED NUGENT Blasts NEIL YOUNG: ‘He’s Out Of His Mind’
Ted Nugent has blasted Neil Young for wanting to “censor people” after the legendary singer demanded that his catalog be removed from Spotify in response to “fake information about vaccines” being “spread” on the platform via Joe Rogan‘s podcast, “The Joe Rogan Experience”. Young delivered an ultimatum, adding, “They can have Rogan or Young. Not both.” Spotify announced a few days later that it would pull Young‘s music catalog from its platform. In a new interview with Kristi Leigh, a former reporter for the Sinclair Broadcast Group-owned KMPH-TV, Nugent was asked to weigh in on Young‘s position. He said (as transcribed by BLABBERMOUTH.NET): “Number one, he’s a Canadian so he started at the back of th...
