Tidal’s New Tool Lets Users DJ for Paid Subscribers
Tidal has an inventive new way of allowing subscribers to interact with their fellow listeners. The music streaming service has launched a beta program that allows those subscribed to its HiFi Plus to launch a DJ session, where other subscribers can tune in. Aptly called DJ, the program is pretty straightforward. Users can name their DJ session and then share a link to friends and followers. Others can then access the session to listen to music in real time, similar to a radio broadcast. Tidal is known for its high-bitrate quality sound, but unfortunately, DJ only allows for songs to be played in regular AAC quality. Users should note that the beta tool is different from Tidal for DJ, which allows professional DJs to use songs from Tidal in their mixing software. Those interested in playin...

Megan Thee Stallion Trial Bombshell: Ex-Friend Claims Tory Lanez Shot Rapper, Offered $1M Bribe in Recorded Interview
In a bombshell recorded interview played in open court on Friday (Dec. 16), Kelsey Harris, Megan Thee Stallion‘s former friend and assistant, claimed several times that she saw Tory Lanez shoot the “Savage” rapper and then bribed her and Harris to keep quiet — contradicting her in-court testimony on Wednesday and Thursday.

HipHopWired Featured Video Source: San Francisco Chronicle/Hearst Newspapers via Getty Images / Getty Khloe Kardashian’s baby daddy, Tristan Thompson, has just finalized a paternity settlement with his latest baby mama, Maralee Nichols, but luckily for him he’s not coughing up Kanye West child support kind of money.
