Rapper Leikeli47 Photographed By Hedi Slimane For Celine
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Michael Kovac / Getty Hedi Slimane must be a Hip-Hop head, with good taste. The renowned fashion designer has photographed Brooklyn rapper Leikeli47 for a series of portraits for Celine. If you’re unfamiliar, Leikeli47, born Hasben Jones, is known for covering her face up with a mask when she performs, but moreso for the sharp bars. She recently dropped a new single called “Chitty Bang,” which was featured on EA Sports’ Madden 22 and an Apple iPhone commercial while her last proper album was 2018’s Acrylic. So props to Hedi Slimane aka the Creative Director of luxury fashion brand Celine, for featuring Leikeli in his latest set of portraits, outfitted in some mean Celine fits, too. Leikeli is seen rocking a Celine bandana scarf, naturally, as well as a tr...
Too Far: Fat Joe Get Clowned For Yeezy Moonboot Fit, Memes Flourish
HipHopWired Featured Video CLOSE Source: @donnellrawlings / Instagram Fat Joe took to Instagram to show off what he thought was a fire fit that featured him wearing those YEEZY NSTLD boots. However, Joe Crack didn’t get the sweeping praise he was surely looking for. Instead, the Bronx rapper opened the door to waves of slander over his audacity to act like those glorified moon boots from the YEEZY brand are flames. Yes, there are people who think so, but please reconsider that decision. Anyway, the fit itself wasn’t too bad; denim, a khaki jacket and a pink hoodie. “Waiting on the snow” was Joe’s caption for the pic he share on IG. But those YEEZY boots got all the attention for all the wrong reasons. Some trusty Timberlands these are not. Soon enough, the photo went viral, and the memes s...
