White Supremacists Charged With Hate Crimes For Alleged Racist Messages Left Around New York Town
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Spencer Platt / Getty Three accused white supremacists have been arrested and charged with leaving more than 100 messages of hate on the properties of residents in the small and overwhelmingly (93 percent) white town of Hornell, New York. Unsurprisingly, the first report of their literal hate mail campaign came from a predominately Black church. From the New York Times: A worshiper arriving for services at Rehoboth Deliverance Ministries — a largely Black church in the mostly white city of around 8,500 about an hour south of Rochester — found a leaflet affixed to the door, the police chief, T.J. Murray, said in an interview on Tuesday. On it were the words “Aryan National Army” and an image of a skull inside a swastika, he said. By the time the weekend wa...
Styles P Filmed Ripping Police Arresting Black Woman By His Juice Bar
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Erika Goldring / Getty Styles P has always kept it real on and off the stage, and a recent video provided another example as he responded to police making a rough arrest outside of his juice bar on Tuesday (July 12). In a video originally shared on the TikTok social media platform, the “Hit Different” rapper was on the scene outside of his Juices For Life establishment in Yonkers, New York assisting a woman who was being pinned to the ground by police officers. In the clip, the two cops appeared to slam the woman to the ground and handle her roughly as they informed her repeatedly that she was under arrest. The cause behind their actions was unclear. Another woman was filming, and Styles P joined her, at one point calling one officer trying to handcuff th...

Listen to Martin Garrix, DallasK and Sasha Alex Sloan’s Long-Awaited Collab, “Loop”
At long last, Martin Garrix and DallasK have unveiled “Loop,” a fan-favorite track released today by way of Astralwerks. Fans found themselves ironically stuck in a loop as Garrix played out the record live throughout 2022. But he remained tight-lipped when it came to “Loop,” the hype of which hit its boiling point at the Dutch EDM superstar’s momentous Ultra 2022 performance. “Loop” was left off Sentio, Garrix’s electrifying debut club album, presumably due to its dance-pop direction. But that doesn’t make it any less striking. The emotive track features acclaimed singer-songwriter Sasha Alex Sloan, whose haunting vocal performance artfully explores the struggle to break free from the shackles of a pernicious relationship. Wa...
Twitter Had A Rough Day, Users Had Hilarous Reactions To The 40-Minute Service Outage
HipHopWired Featured Video CLOSE Source: NurPhoto / Getty Twitter had a major service outage, and users reacted hilariously to being without their favorite social media platform. What’s Going On With Twitter? If you just opened up Twitter right now, you can’t tell that it suffered another service outage. For about 40 minutes early Thursday morning (Jul.14). Things went south for the platform at about 8:05 am ET when users began complaining about receiving “over capacity” and “this page is down” messages. Per The Verge, issues plagued users trying to tweet using the mobile app, web client, or even TweetDeck. DownDetector received thousands of reports about Twitter at the time, but when you checked Twitter’s status page, “all systems operational.” Users noted that Twitter.com loaded as...
Teen ‘Stranger Things’ Star Noah Schnapp Apologized To Doja Cat, Says “Everything Is All Good”
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Mondadori Portfolio / Getty So, most of y’all know the saga by now: Doja Cat recently called out 17-year-old Noah Schnapp for sharing a message she sent to him asking him to hook her up with his Stranger Things co-star Joseph Quinn calling it “snake s**t.” The call-out kind of backfired on Doja costing her a couple hundred thousand followers because it turns out some people think it’s weird and inappropriate for a 26-year-old to hop in a teen’s DM to request a hook-up regardless of the fact that the man she was crushing on is at least age-appropriate. (Sure, you could argue they were both wrong—but one of them is a whole teenager.) Related Stories At any rate, Schnapp is ready to put the drama to bed and he posted a Tik Tok video saying he apologize...
Daniel Kaluuya Officially Will Not Return For ‘Black Panther 2’
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Amy Sussman / Getty Daniel Kaluuya’s appearance in the 2018 Marvel blockbuster film Black Panther looks like it will be a one-and-done deal, as it’s being reported that he officially will not return for the sequel. According to reports, the Oscar-winning Kaluuya was asked to return to his role as W’Kabi, chief security officer and best friend to T’Challa, played by the late Chadwick Boseman. He, unfortunately, had to back out of appearing in the sequel, Black Panther: Wakanda Forever as the schedule for filming would’ve conflicted with the schedule for Jordan Peele’s horror film (potentially) involving UFOs, Nope. Filming for Wakanda Forever began last March in Atlanta, Georgia. Kaluuya had already committed to star in Peele’s film before Disney and Marve...

Pantera’s 2023 Reunion Tour to Include Zakk Wylde and Anthrax Drummer Charlie Benante
Guitarist Zakk Wylde and Anthrax drummer Charlie Benante will join Phil Anselmo and Rex Brown this summer to tour as Pantera, headlining a number of major festivals across North America and Europe and staging some of their own headline concerts, a source close to the group tells Billboard. The lineup has been given a green light by the estates of the band’s founders, Vincent “Vinnie Paul” Abbott and “Dimebag” Darrell Abbott, as well as Brown, who last year said Wylde wouldn’t tour with a reunited Pantera if that were to happen. It’s unclear what changed his mind. Wylde has long been the consensus fill-in for “Dimebag” Darrell due to his relationship with the Abbott brothers and his success and stature in hard rock and heavy metal. Wylde is lead guitarist for Ozzy Osbourne and the founder o...
