Stacey Dash Emerges From Conservative Cocoon To Realize DMX Passed Away A Year Ago
HipHopWired Featured Video CLOSE Source: Michael Tran / Getty Stacey Dash most likely doesn’t consider herself a Hip-Hop head so she probably should be forgiven after just discovering that a favorite artist of hers has passed away. In a new video the actress posted to social media, Dash is seen in the clip reacting with heavy emotion over the death of the beloved rapper, DMX. Taking both to TikTok and sharing the clip on Instagram, Stacey Dash, now 55, says she was strolling through TikTok to find a song and it was then she realized the rapper born Earl Simmons is no longer with us.

Chunky Comedian Aries Spears Attacks Lizzo With Fatphobia, Twitter Holds Up A Mirror
HipHopWired Featured Video CLOSE Source: Gilbert Carrasquillo / Getty Aries Spears is currently catching the wrath of Twitter after fat-shaming Lizzo and using a highly insensitive comparison to do so.

To be fair to Spears, he did realize that this was the ...
