HipHopWired Featured Video CLOSE Source: Ye / Instagram The long-running saga of beef between music titans Ye AKA Kanye West and Drake reached a zenith of sorts this year during the release of their DONDA and Certified Lover Boy albums respectively. After Ye’s open appeal to settle their differences, the Chicago superstar posted an image alongside his Canadian counterpart with triple OG J Prince in tow. As we’ve observed over the past few months, Ye and Drake have lobbed soft to hard blows towards one another, adding fire to a feud few saw ending in such an amicable fashion. Last week, Ye read off a statement with J Prince standing next to him asking for a sitdown with Drake, lending credence to the idea that they would soon make amends.

HipHopWired Featured Video CLOSE Source: SOPA Images / Getty Laura Ingraham, like many in popular conservative media circles, loves using the “woke” dog whistle to signal to her viewers that she’s all about making sure anything calling differing from their side is an attack. Once more, the Fox News host aired a segment on her show claiming that “viewers like woke-free TV” and discussing the Netflix hit You, prompting Twitter to throw some virtual tomatoes at the “attempt” at humor. During the segment that aired on The Ingraham Angle, Ms. “Shut Up and Dribble” herself appeared in quite the unfunny segment on her show that almost seemed ripped off from The Onion. Again, the term “woke” has been co-opted by conservative pundits to frame anything that calls out their bigotry and ham-handed idi...
HipHopWired Featured Video CLOSE Source: Johnny Nunez / Getty Despite having an aversion to the space bar and being beefing co-parents, it doesn’t seem like DaniLeigh and DaBaby have much else in common at the moment. After the debacle of their argument going wide on social media, folks on Twitter are reminding DaniLeigh for her jabs at the mothers of the Charlotte rapper’s children and their complexion, among other points. In the past 24 hours, it’s been revealed that DaniLeigh was apparently living with DaBaby in North Carolina in a condo with their infant daughter, even looking cozy in some images that made it to the Internet. However, there was some serious arguing going down in another series of videos that went wide from Instagram Live that seemingly pointed to greater issues between...

HipHopWired Featured Video CLOSE Source: @thecourtneyc / Instagram Courtney Michelle, who refers to herself as a Luxury Lifestyle Vlogger, released a video to TikTok that seemingly threw two other Black women entrepreneurs under the bus. In the video, Michelle refers to Ari Fletcher and Jayda Cheeaves AKA JAYDA WAYDA, saying that she doesn’t understand why popular social media personalities are “goals” for others. In the viral TikTok video, Michelle is seen driving along and opens her video by saying, “I don’t relate to most of y’all because a lot of you look to Ari and Jayda, and, beautiful girls, but like that’s your goals of what you want to be like.” She continued, “Goals for me is the mom who pulls up to Whole Foods in the brand new Escalade with the Mim Xari stroller, her kids are de...
HipHopWired Featured Video CLOSE Source: Pool / Getty President Joe Biden will never satisfy folks on both sides of the aisle or political ideology, and it’s safe to assume his detractors remain hellbent on finding a reason to tear down the former U.S. Senator. On Thursday (November 11), Biden delivered remarks at a public ceremony where he stumbled on his wording by saying the words “the great Negro” as he honored former U.S. Ambassador to Hungary, Donald M. Blinken. At a Veterans Day ceremony at Arlington National Cemetery in Arlington, Va., President Biden addressed attendees during a speech in observance of the federal holiday. Biden turned his attention to Blinken, the father of current U.S. Secretary of State Atony Blinken, to thank him for his military service and public service to ...
HipHopWired Featured Video CLOSE Source: Screenshot / Youtube All Black people don’t look the same but Black Twitter, always looking for the next big trending topic moment for laughs, is going to do their thing regardless, this time putting Jeezy in the mix. Ceasare Willis, better known as Krump originator Tight Eyez, is getting talked up on social media for his intense dance moves after showing off some illustrious bottles of Hennessy. Apparently, Tight Eyez recently did an unboxing of Hennessy’s collaboration bottle with Les Twins some time ago, which we’ve covered back in August over at our brother site CASSIUS in the SPIRIT.ED column. Peep the video in question that we found on YouTube below. [embedded content] As you can see, the entire bottle design is built around the high-energy da...
HipHopWired Featured Video CLOSE Source: Theo Wargo / Getty SIlk Sonic shocked the world back in March with the release of their super-smooth single “Leave The Door Open” en route to the track going double platinum on the charts and still a fan favorite. On Friday (November 12), the dynamic duo of Anderson .Paak and Bruno Mars unveiled their joint project An Evening With Silk Sonic and Two-Step Twitter highly approves. Silk Sonic formed back in 2017 after the pair collaborated on music over the years and were bestowed with the band name Silk Sonic after the legendary Boosty Collins heard the album front to back.

HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Charday Penn / Getty Today (November 11) marks a special period in American culture. Veterans Day is a moment where we all can reflect on the servicemen and women that donned military uniforms to lend their lives to protect the freedoms of a nation. Many notable figures have gone on to make lasting impacts in society after serving. Over the years, there have been plenty of politicians, actors, and sports figures that got a jump-start on militancy, and surprisingly enough, the same can be said for key figures in Hip-Hop. Some were on the wayward path and used the armed forces to steer them right while others stumbled onto their passion for music during their enlistment. And one particular member of the list just was having a mid-rap crisis. No matter their...
HipHopWired Featured Video CLOSE Source: Santiago Felipe / Getty Terry Crews at one time was considered one of the most beloved comedic actors in Hollywood before he put on his tap shoes and leaned into some thoughts and opinions nobody asked him for. In a new spot for Amazon, Crews pleads with folks to come work for the company but Twitter is getting the buff bozo out the paint. Via Amazon’s TikTok page, Crews essentially pretends that someone of his means actually cares about working at one of the company’s massive warehouses. Using all his teeth to express faux joy, Crews pitches the idea that Amazon has tons of jobs available, offers paid tuition, and health benefits. You know, stuff a decent company should do for employees that have reportedly worked in subpar conditions. It’s hard to...
HipHopWired Featured Video CLOSE Source: Marvel / Marvel Spider-Man: No Way Home will be the latest film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe pipeline when it releases next month, and the expectations are extremely high. A YouTube personality apparently posted and deleted leaked images from the film that seemingly confirms that Tom Holland’s Spider-Man will be joined by the other actors who played the character before him. Canadian YouTuber John Campea shared a watermarked pair of images that showed Jon Favreau’s Happy Hogan, and Holland’s Peter Parker sitting across from a table. In the middle of them was Charlie Cox’s Matt Murdock, the blind lawyer by day and superpowered crimefighter at night, Daredevil. Why this is significant is that Cox’s Daredevil program was part of a slate of Netflix ...
HipHopWired Featured Video CLOSE Source: AAron Ontiveroz/MediaNews Group/The Denver Post via Getty Images / Getty Nikola Jokić, the reigning MVP of the NBA, might be facing a suspension after an exchange of hard fouls between him and Markieff Morris cleared the benches for their respective squads. After Morris delivered a hard foul to Jokić’s ribs, the Denver Nuggets big man shoved the Miami Heat forward hard to the ground, prompting the refs to eject Joker with Morris slapped with a flagrant foul charge. The Nuggets hosted the Heat on Monday (November 8) and were up to the tune of 111-94 with just 2 minutes and 39 seconds remaining in the contest. As Jokić was taking the ball down the court, Morris leaned in to stop the progress of the ball but delivered a left elbow shot to Jokić’s right...
