HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Aaron J. Thornton / Getty For a minute there back the early 2000’s it seemed like Lil Flip was going to be the next big thing out of Houston when “Sunshine” became the record of his career. Unfortunately things didn’t work out for him as many thought it would but the man is still grinding and still shining every chance he’s given. Coming through with some new work in “Ain’t I Trill,” Lil Flip finds himself ready to put in some work for some OG’s who need to make an example out of some op’s who’s stepping on toes not knowing Flip got the itchy trigger finger in his open-carry state. Elsewhere Juicy J shows everyone that he takes this rap ish serious and in his Finesse 2 Tymes assisted clip to “Be Careful,” J heads to the studio to put in that work while fl...
Because Duh: Balenciaga Exits Twitter After Elon Musk Purchase
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Joshua Bright / Joshua Bright The mass exodus from Twitter continues. Balenciaga is the latest brand to leave the platform. As per Hypebeast, Balenciaga is no longer on the social media app and all signs are pointing that the recent move is due largely in part to its new ownership by Elon Musk. This exit is not the first, and probably not the last, notable brand to leave or totally divest as companies like General Motors have decided not to use the tool to communicate to consumers. Additionally, some high-profile celebrities have deactivated their accounts as well, including Whoopi Goldberg, Gigi Hadid and Toni Braxton. Back in October, Musk finally bought out Twitter and since then the acquisition has left a poor impression on a large number of their use...
No Fresh, No Clean: B. Simone Said She Doesn’t Shower Every Day, Twitter Is Appalled
HipHopWired Featured Video CLOSE Source: Paras Griffin / Getty B. Simone has carved out a healthy career for herself as an influencer, actress and member of the Wild N Out crew. Apparently, her busy schedule means she’s not able to shower daily We kid you not—she said this herself on her podcast—The Know For Sure Pod with co-host Megan Brooks. In case you think this tidbit of info was taken out of context, the receipts, via a clip you can see below, are clear as day. Apparently, if she showers on a Monday morning, she might not wash again until like Wednesday, maybe Thursday. She does say no one is “down there” in reference to a potential significant other getting a whiff of her private parts. Nevertheless, man alive. Did we need to know this, though? Also, B. Simone is known for talking o...
Twitter 2.No!: Elon Musk Emails Twitter Employees Ultimatum To Get With New “Hardcore” Platform Or Leave
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: SOPA Images / Getty Since Elon Musk officially closed the deal to purchase Twitter, he has laid off a number of executives, watched his newly acquired platform suffer a “massive drop in revenue,” and watched racial slur usage on Twitter rise like Confederate flags at a MAGA potluck. Now, Phony Stark aka Lex Loser aka Apartheid Vader has issued an ultimatum to Twitter employees warning them to commit to a new “hardcore” Twitter or they can leave the company with severance pay. Now, Musk is being dragged up and down the platform he bought last month as people do not appear to be too excited about “Twitter 2.0.” From the Washington Post: Twitter is shifting to an engineer-driven operation — one that “will need to be extremely hardcore” going forward, accordi...
Drake and 21 Savage Share Behind-the-Scenes “Rich Flex” Home Video
Drake and 21 Savage have shared a “recap” video for their Her Loss single “Rich Flex.” Rather than a typical music video, the promo is a grainy montage of home video footage captured largely by Drake using a camcorder, offering viewers a look into what he and 21 have been up to over the past few months. After hitting the club, where 21 shows off his new grill and Drake flexes his watch to the camera, the rappers take a taxi through the busy streets of New York. They keep it moving with another method of transportation, the infamous “Air Drake.” The video cuts to New Orleans, where Drake made a surprise appearance at last month’s Lil Weezyana fest to perform “She Will” with Weezy, alongside a few of his solo tracks. Later scenes from the video flick between NBA games, concerts, parties, a b...

Distant Matter Stuns With Effervescent EP, “Iridescent”
Distant Matter has unveiled Iridescent, his brand new, intoxicating EP. Spanning five sun-kissed tracks, Iridescent is a stunner.
