Spotify Deal With Joe Rogan Is Actually More Than $200 Million

HipHopWired Featured Video Source: MANDEL NGAN / Getty As the podcaster Joe Rogan is embroiled in controversy over his disrespectful language and choice to peddle misinformation about the coronavirus, the huge deal he received from Spotify is larger than many thought. And so is the headache the platform now has. In an article from the New York Times, it appears that the sum that the comedian and sports commentator received from Spotify was higher than many outlets stated in their reporting. The deal, which saw the streaming service acquire exclusive licensing to host Rogan’s show in May 2020, was then valued at $100 million dollars for a period of three and a half years. According to confidential sources who were privy to the full information of the deal since they worked on the negotiatio...

Hailey Bieber Wore the Comfortable Legging Trend Everyone Should Own

Let me just say that Hailey Bieber has really been inspiring the masses with her legging outfits lately. The Pilates-loving model has been busy wearing trendy spring shoes, crew socks, It trainers and half-zip hoodies with leggings, and I’m consistently here to tell you about it. But this time, I’m here to talk about her actual leggings. Earlier this week, Bieber wore the most chill of legging outfits, and it’s hard to not want to be wearing it the second you lay eyes on it. With her oversized sweatshirt, crew socks (per usual) and furry slides, she wore a pair of lounge leggings by celeb-favourite brand Alo Yoga. Lounge leggings are basically extra soft, stretchy and comfortable enough to sleep in. You can also work out in them, but you certainly don&...

HipHopWired Featured Video Source: VALERIE MACON / Getty The family of rapper and actress Eve just got a little bigger, as she and her husband Maximillion Cooper announced the arrival of their baby boy to the world on Thursday morning (February 10th). In a post made on her Instagram account, the 43-year old rapper shared a photo of her first child with her husband and entrepreneur Cooper. The caption to the charming photo of the newborn wrapped up in a comfortable blanket read: “Our Beautiful boy was born Feb 1st 2022 💙…Wilde Wolf Fife Alexander Somers Cooper 💙…Words can’t describe this feeling ✨✨✨” Cooper also shared the same photo to his own Instagram account, with his caption ending with the phrase “Let the wild rumpus begin!!” The arrival of Wilde W...

Kanye West Demands Billie Eilish Apologize To Travis Scott, She Responds

HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Theo Wargo / Getty Ye aka Kanye West is back in the headlines, this time threatening to pull out of Coachella unless Billie Eilish publicly apologizes to Travis Scott. According to reports, the singer stopped performing during her concert in Atlanta last Saturday (February 5th) for her Happier Than Ever Tour. She witnessed a fan who had trouble breathing. The fan needed an inhaler, and Eilish obtained one for them. “It’s OK, we got one,” Eilish said. “Give her some time. Don’t crowd.” In-camera footage taken by another fan, she also said, “We’re taking care of our people. I wait for people to be OK until I keep going.” Some observers – West among them – took that as a jab directed towards Scott, still dealing with the aftermath of the tragedy at his Astro...

Dave Chappelle Blasts Ohio Council “Clowns” Over Affordable Housing Plans

HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Kevin Mazur / Getty A recent council meeting in Ohio was the stage for Dave Chappelle to blow his lid and chastize council members and threaten to pull his business investments – all over plans for proposed housing development in the town he calls home. According to reports, the comedian was present at the Yellow Springs, Ohio village council meeting on Monday (February 7th) which was convened to discuss the plans to rezone an area in the town to make way for a housing development to be built there by Oberer Homes. The initial plan was for the 53-acre area to contain single-family duplexes and townhouses, with some set aside to create affordable housing. Chappelle, who is a fixture in the audience at council meetings, went to the microphone to vent his fr...

8 Easy Jeans-and-Flat-Shoes Pairings I’m Stealing From Celebs

When it comes to celebrity style, it’s easy to jump straight into conversations about red carpet looks and directional Instagram posts of avant-garde outfits. But the truth is the stars love their jeans just as much as we do. Thank goodness for that because they inadvertently provide a mountain of inspiration on how to style them the moment they step out on the streets. Lately, in place of high heels, I’ve noticed that some of my favourite fashion-proficient celebs have been wearing jeans exclusively with flat shoes, and I want in. I’m not big into trainers, so I’m always on the lookout for flat-footwear solutions to wear with my denim, and it just so happens that Kendall Jenner, Katie Holmes and Zoë Kravitz (to name a few) have been exploring this combination in recent...

J.Lo Wore a Little White Wedding Dress on the Red Carpet With Ben Affleck

If we don’t get to see Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck, famously referred to as Bennifer, get engaged (for the second time) in 2022, at least we can say that we witnessed the couple looking wedding-ready on the red carpet. It’s not the same, clearly, but when it comes to our favourite early aughts duo, we’ll take what we can get. On Tuesday night, the couple arrived at the Los Angeles premiere of Lopez’s new movie Marry Me, which she stars in alongside Owen Wilson and Maluma, casually dressed like—and acting like—newlyweds. Specifically, Lopez wore a long-sleeve lace minidress designed by Giambattista Valli with feather-embellished Jimmy Choo heels and Dior diamond earrings. Affleck’s look likewise set off wedding bells, including ...

Kylie Jenner and Travis Scott Welcome Baby Boy

HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Craig Barritt / Getty While the world was keeping up with the online drama between Kim Kardashian and Kanye West, Kylie Jenner and Travis Scott were welcoming their latest edition to their family. On Sunday (Feb 6), Kylie took to Instagram to announce that the couple’s son was born on Wednesday (Feb. 2) by sharing a black-and-white photo of what appears to be their daughter Stormi’s hand holding her newborn brother’s arm, along with the caption: “💙 2/2/22.” Travis reacted with a series of heart emojis: “💙🤎🤎🤎🤎🤎🤎”, as other friends and family including  Kris Jenner, Kim Kardashian, Khloe Kardashian, Hailey Bieber, and Normani all commented their love for the announcement. As previously rep...

Kendall Jenner Wore the Affordable Staple That Comes Back Every Spring

Here in the UK we might be in coats and boots, but Los Angeles-based Kendall Jenner is able to start wearing her spring wardrobe in the dead of winter. That said, Jenner isn’t the type to bust out the pastels and floral prints. She instead this week went with a black-and-white look that’ll be perfect for the impending weather warm-up in March and April (fingers crossed). Jenner’s outfit is really quite simple, and it includes an affordable basic that we here at Who What Wear talk about every single year: a white ribbed tank top. In this case, she displayed the perfect way to wear it: with black jeans and an oversized black button-down shirt. It’s the ideal springtime layering piece and it’ll be great on its own during the summer when the word “...

Jennifer Lopez Found the 2022 Way to Wear a Maxi Skirt

Jennifer Lopez is no stranger to the maxi-skirt trend. In fact, just a couple of weeks ago, we pointed out that she swapped the more common midi skirt out for a long one while out shopping with her daughter. And this week, for a night out with Ben Affleck, she did it again. But this time, her maxi-skirt outfit was a little—shall we say—sultrier? Lopez went with a long tartan check skirt, and to make it date night–appropriate, she wore it with a bra top (which appears to be a sheer bodysuit), an oversize black blazer, and high-heel ankle boots. Since the skirt is quite covered up, it makes sense that she would want to expose a little skin (in true J.Lo fashion) with the glimpse of the bra top beneath her blazer. All in all, this seems like a fresh way to w...

Kendall Jenner’s Latest Look Reminds Me of McDonald’s—I’m Loving It

If you’re anything like me, your wardrobe consists mostly of varying shades of black, grey, white, and beige. Neutrals are neutrals because they go with everything, and what could possibly be wrong with that? But after watching runway collections drop their previously low-key colour palettes for vibrant, saturated hues—I’m looking at you Valentino, The Row, Chanel, and Prada—I’ve begun to rethink my strict no-colour policy. And apparently, I’m not alone.  On Saturday, Kendall Jenner, who is also known to frequent more muted wardrobe items, used a lunch with friend Travis Bennett as an excuse to dress outside of her comfort zone, opting to pair a marigold-coloured knit from Who What Wear favourite Frankie Shop with a highlighte...

Rochelle Humes Manages to Find the Most Expensive-Looking High-Street Pieces

Is it just me, or is Rochelle Humes knocking it out of the park with her outfits at the moment? The multi-hyphenate talent has been filling in for Holly Willoughby on ITV’s This Morning of late, and I’m now finding myself waiting in anticipation to see what she’ll wear next. This is made all the more exciting as she tends to find the very best pieces on the high street to inform her daily, on-screen wares, meaning that if I like what I see, then it’s likely going to be affordable, too.  If you too want to dress as chicly as Humes does each morning, I’ve broken down her latest looks for you below. You’re welcome. However, with my interest piqued, I was also keen to find out how Rochelle Humes manages to find time to track down her expe...
