HipHopWired Featured Video The Polaris Slingshot is one of the most distinctive motorized vehicles on the market today, sparking curiosity and interest every time one zips through the streets. With the company rolling out its new 2023 lineup, Polaris Slingshot invites riders to dig deep into their artistic bags and design the ride of their dreams. First, I’d like to personally thank Polaris for having me and other members of the media and riding community out to test drive the Slingshot in November. As I told some of the Polaris team, I’ve wondered for years what the hoopla was all about as it relates to the Slingshot. On a reasonably warm day no matter the season, it is customary to see Slingshots zipping through the Washington Metropolitan area in droves. I’ll be frank here, I largely th...

HipHopWired Featured Video CLOSE Source: Paras Griffin / Getty Young Thug is currently behind bars but it appears that two women he was romantically linked with in times past have some issues with one another. Singer Mariah the Scientist posted a tweet that didn’t reference anyone by name but a fan seemingly invited Young Thug’s ex-girlfriend Jerrika Karlae to the mix and it’s been off to the races since. We understand that Young Thug and Jerrika Karlae dated for years and were even slated to get married before breaking things off. However, we’re not sure how to frame the extent of Mariah the Scientist’s relationship with the Young Stoner Life honcho. Source: Prince Williams / Getty This particular dustup occurred on Dec. 1 when Mariah tweeted, “Imagine fronting on someone who showed u lov...
HipHopWired Featured Video CLOSE Chris Paul was probably somewhere trying to mind his business when Ye fka Kanye West mentioned the future NBA Hall of Fame point guard for reasons beyond our understanding. Via social media, Ye dropped a bombshell that he caught his ex-wife Kim Kardashian with Paul without adding any additional detail. Ye was back on Twitter and went on a tirade of sorts, stating forcefully that he stands with Balenciaga amid the controversy of a recent ad that seemingly suggested a connection between BDSM and children. The fashion brand recently ended its business dealings with Ye in the wake of antisemitic claims and other actions. “I stand by Balenciaga and denounce all witch hunts and I cancel cancel culture Jesus is King Ending trafficking doesn’t start or end with a f...

HipHopWired Featured Video CLOSE Source: Edward Berthelot / Getty Ye fka Kanye West was a recent guest on a podcast and stormed off the set after it appeared the host suggested they clear up a little antisemitism in the midst of their conversation.

HipHopWired Featured Video CLOSE Source: Johnny Nunez / Getty Chrisean Rock has the chill of a steaming bowl of soup, and she’s back in the trending topics roundup once again for more of her antics. The on-again, off-again boo of Blueface was seen in a now-viral video of her preparing a pan of macaroni and cheese with her bare hands and Twitter is really going in right now. A Twitter user uploaded a video of Chrisean Rock getting busy in the kitchen on a huge pan of macaroni and cheese and that would normally be the order of the day for what we assume was a Thanksgiving post. However, the former high school and college athlete is almost elbow-deep in the pan of mac and pounding it down like she was handling Kai Cenat’s wall during that Twitch stream. Chrisean Rock caught wind of the ...
