HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Arturo Holmes/MG22 / Getty Nicki Minaj is a legend and a superstar. She is also a mother and by some recent accounts a bully to the many female rappers who have come in her wake. She sat down with Red Table Talk host, Jada Pinkett Smith for Interview Magazine to talk about these issues and more. The “Super Freaky Girl” rapper shared that she had delayed returning to work after the birth of her son with husband Kenneth Petty. The baby was born in September 2020 and she said that she experienced “real bad separation anxiety.” Nicki Minaj notes that a lot of that anxiety derived from her own childhood when her mother left her with relatives in Trinidad to pursue job opportunities in the United States. “So I’m reliving all of those things now beca...

Victoria Beckham Just Made Leggings Look Posh With These Unexpected Shoes
Victoria Beckham doesn’t always wear leggings, but when she does, she makes them look impossibly cool. I’m used to seeing Beckham in her signature midi dresses and skirts, but she was just photographed in New York City wearing classic black leggings. She nixed sneakers in favour of pointy-toe stiletto boots, which instantly elevated her look—she is Posh Spice, after all. Her sock boots are the opposite of athleticwear, but naturally, she pulls them off with aplomb. If you’ve only been wearing your leggings to the gym, consider this your sign to style them with your sexiest pair of boots and go out on the town instead.

Drake And The Weeknd To Skip Grammys For The Second Year
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Cole Burston / Getty The Canadian urban music delegation has opted out of an appearance at the Grammy Awards for a second year in row. According to Page Six, Drake and The Weeknd will not be attending nor have they submitted music for award consideration. The two artists who have also been collaborators have both previously expressed their discontent with the Recording Academy and the awards process. In 2021, The Weeknd decried the snub of his mega-hit album, After Hours with a statement to The New York Times that read, “Because of the secret committees, I will no longer allow my label to submit my music to the Grammys.” The Recording Academy’s voters are music industry insiders who apply for membership with an application and several referenc...
From Puddle to Split-Hem: 8 Trouser Trends Celebrities Are Wearing Nonstop
Dressing chicly in the middle of a seasonal transition can be difficult, mainly because of the unpredictability of the time between autumn and winter. Just this weekend, for example, I stepped out of the house dressed in a hooded trench coat and a pair of knee boots, readied for a downpour, only for it to be glorious sunshine the moment I stepped off the train in town. Knowing what to wear and when to wear it is anyone’s guess until the cooler temperatures truly settle in (by then, there’s no room for doubt), but if there is one wardrobe staple I know I can rely on until that point, it’s trousers. Trousers have been integral to the 2022 aesthetic. From cut-outs to unbuttoned waistlines, there has certainly been a fair share of eyebrow-raising iterations along the way to e...

Gigi Hadid’s Flat Shoes Confirm That This Style Is Still a Trend
Even though last fall feels like forever ago, I haven’t forgotten that chunky loafers were the trend of the season. Every brand from high to low was making them, and they were selling out left and right. When a trend is that big, there’s always the possibility of it tapering off after its peak, but that’s not been the case with the aforementioned lug-sole loafers, which Gigi Hadid just confirmed for us in Paris. As far as celebrity trendsetters go, Hadid is at the top of the influential list, so when I saw that she was wearing chunky loafers on two occasions, I was convinced they’re still a go. In both instances, she wore a pair of leopard-print loafers by Reformation, pairing them with a marigold jumpsuit and baggy jeans and a leather blazer. As...
