All Falls Down: JPMorgan Chase Ends Banking Relationship With Kanye West
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: The Washington Post / Getty Kanye West is quickly learning there are consequences to being a “free thinker” and just saying antisemitic things. JPMorgan Chase has informed the rapper they will no longer be handling the “billionaire’s” company’s cash. Once you say antisemitic things, it all falls down. After weeks of making head*ss comments and a white lives matter shirt that earned him a ton of well-deserved backlash, JPMorgan Chase informed the billionaire, “genius,” rapper that his YEEZY money is no longer good there. West and his team were told by the American-based multinational investment bank and financial services holding company. In the statement, JPMorgan Chase noted a recent conversation with an entity whose name can’t be seen, led to the decisi...
Kanye West and Ray J Reunite At Candace Owens’ Struggle BLM Doc Premiere
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Jason Davis / Getty Candace Owens is known for bringing people together. Yeah right, but she did manage to reunite Ray J and her new buddy Kanye West at the premiere for her alleged Black Lives Matter documentary. Source: Jason Davis / Getty Reportedly, Owens and MAGA Ye have been in constant conversation lately (she proudly rocked the widely panned “White Lives Matter” tee with Ye). Which actually makes sense since he’s also been going full antisemite. But for now, we’ll discuss the premiere of Owens’ documentary about the BLM movement, The Greatest Lie Ever Sold: George Floyd and the Rise of BLM, which went down last night in Nashville at the Woolworth Theater. As reported by Page Six, there was Ray J (who infamously starred in a sextape with Kim Kardas...
‘The Shop: Uninterrupted’ Decides Not To Air Kanye West Interview
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: JULIEN DE ROSA / Getty Kanye West leaned into his controversial antics of late, including an off-the-rails interview with Tucker Carlson that recently aired. The Chicago producer was slated to appear on The Shop: Uninterrupted but the producers of the show opted to not air the interview as Ye doubled down on his stances. Kanye West taped an episode of The Shop and while it was framed to be a conversation about his recent comments and a platform to clarify his ideas, SpringHill Company CEO and co-host Maverick Carter offered in an exclusive statement to Andscape that it was not the case. From Andscape: “Yesterday we taped an episode of The Shop with Kanye West. Kanye was booked weeks ago and, after talking to Kanye directly the day before we taped, I belie...
Whitesplainer Sarah Silverman Dragged For Insinuating Black Twitter Condones Kanye West Antisemitism
HipHopWired Featured Video CLOSE Source: D Dipasupil / Getty Sarah Silverman did it to herself. The vocal comedian and activist took to Twitter to insinuate that Black people, or at least Black Twitter, was being silent about the antisemitic rhetoric Kanye West has been accused of hurling—and she was quickly and curtly course-corrected for her tomfoolery. In case you’ve been unaware, Kanye West found himself placed on pause by Instagram first and then Twitter for what many say is antisemitic commentary. It started with him claiming Jews were the ones who told Diddy to holla at him and then he said he was straight going “Death Con 3” on Jews, after he gets some sleep. That said, the Black Twitter delegation has been flaming Kanye West since he dropped those bombs, and ones he’s dropped over...
Kanye West Showed Porn To Adidas Executives During Tense Meeting
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Kanye West Purchases Second City In Wyoming To Bring Yeezy Production / Kanye West Purchases Second City In Wyoming To Bring Yeezy Production To The US It’s been pretty obvious for a minute that Ye’s been a tad bit off his rocker in both his behavior and overall thought process. But the latest allegations against him might take the exotic cake as Yeezy seems to be spiraling out of control. According to Page Six, the artist formerly known as Kanye West is being accused of showing porn to adidas executives during a business meeting between himself and four other men. Apparently a 30-minute video was uploaded on YouTube dubbed “LAST WEEK” in which Ye rolls around with a camera crew before meeting up with some adidas execs in an empty room. That’s when things...
Celebs Slam Kanye West aka MAGA Ye Over Anti-Semitic Remarks
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Jeff Kravitz/MTV1415 / Getty Kanye West has once again gone on an offensive rant spree, this time sending out antisemitic messages on social media. Celebrities, including John Legend, were quick to swoop in and condemn him. The rapper and business mogul has attracted the ire of many within the past couple of weeks, but his latest stunt has gotten him into considerable trouble. On Saturday (Oct. 8), West sent out a now-deleted tweet that read: “I’m a bit sleepy tonight but when I wake up I’m going death con 3 On JEWISH PEOPLE. The funny thing is I actually can’t be Anti Semitic because black people are actually Jew also You guys have toyed with me and tried to black ball anyone whoever opposes your agenda.” The tweet would be removed by Twitter for vi...
Lizzo Had Time For Kanye West During Her SOLD OUT Show In Toronto
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Robert Okine / Getty Lizzo once again has to waste time addressing someone bringing her name up; this time, she seemingly clapped back at Kanye West. Ye or Kanye West, or whatever you want to call him, has been on one. The problematic multihyphenate has landed in hot water on both Instagram and Twitter after dropping antisemitic comments. He also took his dog and pony show to Fox News to chop it up with far-right apologist Tucker Carlson about his trash white lives matters shirts. During the interview, Ye, for whatever reason, decided to bring up Lizzo during his ridiculous and nonsensical diatribe. He loudly and wrongly claimed that “bots” were behind a push to keep Lizzo overweight. “Let’s get aside from the fact whether it’s fashion and vogue, which it...

Kanye West Admits He Was Jealous Of Virgil Abloh Via Texts With Tremaine Emory
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Edward Berthelot / Getty The Kanye West hot mess express continues. He reveals that he was indeed jealous of Virgil Abloh in a text conversation with Tremaine Emory. As spotted on Complex, the Chicago, Ill. native reached out directly to the Creative Director at SUPREME after Emory called him out for treating Virgil Abloh poorly prior to and after his death. Last Friday (Oct. 7), Ye shared screenshots of their conversation. Emory went ten toes down on his prior stance. Related Stories “You still ain’t tell the people why you weren’t invited at Virgil’s private funeral,” he wrote. “Why you rode on him when you knew he was sick. That’s the ether.

Kanye West AKA Ye Cut Off From Twitter & Instagram For Antisemitic Comments
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Stephane Cardinale – Corbis / Getty Kanye West, AKA Ye, went on recent social media rampages, airing out personal conversations and hurling accusations against some of his business associates. During these rants, the famed rapper, producer, and designer took aim at the Jewish community with antisemitic comments, causing him to be cut off from Twitter and Instagram.

Kanye West Says He’s Going Death Con 3 On JEWISH PEOPLE, After He Gets Some Sleep
HipHopWired Featured Video CLOSE Source: Kevin Mazur / Getty Kanye West is continuing to spiral and unfortunately, mostly for him, the Internet is keeping all the receipts. After getting silenced on his favorite social media platform of choice, Instagram, Ye returned to Twitter, and on Saturday evening (Oct. 9), he revealed plans to come for Jewish people. But before we get to that impending struggle, as for why he got paused on Instagram in the first place, it was due to the back and forth texts he shared between himself and Sean “Diddy” Combs where he seemed to go Anti-Semitic or Anti-Jewish, allegedly. “Look at this Mark,” Ye wrote on Twitter along with an old photo of him and Meta’s head honcho Mark Zuckerberg. “How you gone kick me off Instagram.” Quite easily, obviously. Yeah, he als...
Sharon Osbourne Agrees With Kanye West BLM ‘Scam’ Comments
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Steven Ferdman / Getty Former talk show co-host and reality star Sharon Osbourne offered her opinion on Kanye West’s recent antics—including designing a shirt that said “White Lives Matter” for his YZY SZN 9 fashion show. The famous Brit who is married to rock legend Ozzy Osbourne was caught by TMZ while out shopping on Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills and asked about the shirt. She replied by saying that “everybody matters.” When told that West said that “Black Lives Matter is a scam,” Osbourne laughed saying, “Well, we gave $900,000 to that and I’d like my money back… I wish he would have said that before.” TMZ surmised that the couple presumably donated the money in 2020. She was adamant in saying that West shouldn’t be “canceled” a...
