HipHopWired Featured Video Robert Griffin III was the target of criticism earlier this week after using a racial slur while discussing Black quarterbacks, the same position he played during his time in college and the NFL. The former Heisman Trophy winner walked back the slur, stating that he intended to use another term. Robert Griffin III, 32, has transformed himself into one of the many notable football analysts across the vast ESPN ecosystem.

He’s not the quarterback of the future. I think he proved all those j*gaboos wrong.” Social media caught wind of the gaffe...
HipHopWired Featured Video CLOSE Source: VH1 / Black Ink Crew Last week’s episode ended with a fight and this week’s episode focuses on the ramifications of that dust-up. Young Bae Went Nuts Last week’s cliffhanger, where Bae tossed a drink in the direction of Vanity, turned out to be far worse than we thought. Bae threw the entire glass, and instead of the glass hitting its intended target, Krystal was a recipient of the dousing and the cup, and she retaliated by chucking a glass at Bae. Bae walked away with a nasty wound on her ear that required stitches. A producer steps into the establishment to stress there is a no fighting policy, and violence could lead to the show being canceled. That’s rich because of what went down with the show’s main star, Ceaser. A subject we will be touching ...
