Butt Of Course: Naija Twitter Up In Arms Over Testy Tonto Dikeh and Bobrisky Beef
HipHopWired Featured Video CLOSE Source: Screenshot / Instagram Naija Twitter is an especially engaged portion of the fast-moving social media network, especially when one of Nigeria’s many famous entertainers is involved in some manner of scandal. The latest rumble in the Internet jungle is between Tonto Dikeh and Bobrisky, with the back and forth getting decidedly ugly in record time.

HipHopWired Featured Video Source: SAUL LOEB / Getty Kim Kardashian got candid about her ex-husband, Kanye West’s exploits while rocking his red cape, aka his MAGA hat.

Why can’t he wear that on TV?” Kardashian asked. “Half of the country voted for him, so clearly other people like him.” Related Stories “If I worried about ever...

GT_Ofice and Linney Explore the Limits of Vulnerability In Third Collab, “Not The One”
The dynamic duo of GT_Ofice and Linney are back with yet another anthemic dance track, a slap house tune called “Not The One.” The single is a bit darker than GT_Ofice’s typically breezy sound, but that doesn’t make it any less emphatic.
