N.O.R.E. Apologizes For Ye’s George Floyd Comments, ‘Drink Champs’ Episode Pulled
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Marcus Ingram / Getty N.O.R.E. is apologizing. The Drink Champs host went on a tour to say “my bad” for letting Ye, formerly known as Kanye West, run rampant with the hateful vitriol, which included questioning how George Floyd died, during his latest appearance on the popular podcast. Everyone knew someone would give Ye access to a microphone, but no one thought that outlet would let the “Power” rapper and designer talk so recklessly. The entire Drink Champs episode, which has since been taken down (but was up over 24 hours), features Ye going heavy on the antisemitic commentary, asserting that Jews are running the music industry and not giving creatives a fair shake in business. But another “free thought” that raised eyebrows was when Ye said George Flo...

Rihanna Is Reportedly Going On A Stadium Tour In 2023
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Robert Kamau / Getty In 2022 we saw Rihanna become a mother for the first time, but looks like she’ll be reverting to becoming a performer in 2023 as she gets ready to embark on a new stadium tour in the new year. Aside from being booked to perform for the Halftime Show at Super Bowl LVII, Hitsdailysouble is reporting that Riri is set to take her talents on the road for a stadium tour. Though the plan is to get back on her grind after rocking the Super Bowl Halftime show in February, a new tour from Rihanna is surely to sellout regardless if she drops new music before hitting the road. Still, some new hits definitely wouldn’t hurt as apparently she’s been “sitting on an album’s worth of not-quite-finished material.” RiRi is said to be back in the rec...

HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Scott Dudelson / Getty It’s a boy! For a while now we’ve known that Jhené Aiko and Big Sean have been expecting a small bundle of joy and at a concert this past Thursday (Oct. 13), the couple had a gender reveal party of sorts when they revealed the sex of their child. While wrapping “I’m Gonna Be” together on stage, Big Sean asked the crowd to make some noise before suddenly surprising the crowd and saying “Make some noise for my baby boy!” and rubbing Jhené Aiko’s pregnant belly. Props to them for not having a gender reveal party that led to some kind of forest fire somewhere. Just sayin.’ Sean and Jhené first began dating back in 2016 but split just two years later. Then the two rekindled their flame in 2020 and are now expecting their first child toge...

The 1975 Lead Red Hot Chili Peppers In U.K. Chart Race
The U.K. albums chart battle is heating up as Red Hot Chili Peppers apply the pressure on the 1975. Based on midweek data published by the Official Charts Company, the 1975 is out front with Being Funny In A Foreign Language (Dirty Hit), the British alternative rock act’s fifth studio album. If it holds its position, Being Funny will bring Matt Healy and Co. their fifth U.K. leader, following their self-titled 2013 debut; I like it when you sleep, for you are so beautiful yet so unaware of it (from 2016); A Brief Enquiry Into Online Relationships (2018) and Notes On A Conditional Form (2020). The Chili Peppers could have a say in that.
