Fat Joe Regrets Beef With JAY-Z and Roc-A-Fella Records
Fat Joe opened up about his previous beef with JAY-Z and Roc-A-Fella Records, admitting his regrets and taking responsibility for the issue. In a recent interview with Math Hoffa, Fat Joe explained that he shouldn’t have fired shots at Hov and the label on “Lean Back,” which sparked the beef. “One of the greatest friendships, admiration and love, I played myself. With everything that happened with us and Roc-A-Fella and all that was Fat Joe’s doing, and I played myself, and I was wrong,” he said. “I wasted 10, 15 years we could have got money with each other. I ain’t going lie, ever since I started f*cking with JAY-Z, I’ve been getting paid.” The issue between the two artists started in 2004 during a basketball tournament that involved both professional players and rappers.

WWE Suspends Sasha Banks & Naomi Indefinitely For Walking Off The Job
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Leon Bennett / Getty For the past few years fans of the WWE have been complaining about the baffling moves and roster cuts the company has made and now the talent itself seems to be revolting against the higher ups. According to Vulture, this past Monday night (May 16), the Women’s Tag-Team Champions, Sasha Banks (Mercedes Varnado) and Naomi (Trinity Fatu) walked out on WWE Monday Night Raw as it was airing due to their displeasure with the outcome of the main event in which they were apparently supposed to turn on each other and break up the bond they’ve built for weeks now. After making the case for a continued run as champions, they were apparently called “spoiled” and told to “fix their attitudes,” so they decided walk into the office of the WWE ...
More Of The Same On The 2nd Anniversary Of George Floyd’s Death
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Guy Smallman / Getty It has been two years since the horrific and senseless death of George Floyd at the hands of Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin, which was captured on video and shocked the world into protest. The unfortunate reality is that Black death at the hands of law enforcement still persists, with a few striking cases as examples. On the two-year anniversary of the murder of George Floyd, recent statistics underscore a grim truth – since his death, Black people accounted for 27 percent of the 1051 Americans who were killed by law enforcement in 2021 according to data compiled by the nonprofit group Mapping Police Violence. The same study also showed that Black people were three times more likely to be killed by police, yet 1.3 times more...
Travis Scott To Donate Proceeds From Latest Nike Collaboration To Project HEAL
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Jordan Brand / Jordan Brand Given the way that sneakerheads flooded Travis Scott’s website with bots upon the release of his latest Nike collaboration, we feel it’s pretty safe to say he’s un-canceled. Now the “Highest In The Room” rapper is taking another step in his road to redemption and has announced that he’s going to be donating the proceeds from his latest Nike collaboration to Project HEAL. TMZ is reporting that the money made from the merchandise moved by his Nike collaboration will ultimately make it’s way to the nonprofit organization that is focused on equitable treatment access for eating disorders. This by itself should see millions of dollars pour into Project Heal with this latest drop alone. Related Stories Sources close to Travis te...
