Petition Calling For Travis Scott To Be Reinstated As Coachella Headliner Removed For “Fraudulent Activity”
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Rick Kern / Getty Nice try, but this petition calling for Travis Scott to be allowed to touch the Coachella stage this year turned out to be a pure jig. Per Buzzfeed News, a fan-made Change.org petition was removed by the website after learning that 60,000 of the signatures it acquired were fugazi. On January 26, multiple outlets reported on the petition garnering attention before the website took action after noticing the number of signatures declined overnight from over 70,000 to barely reaching 5,000 on January 27. Related Stories Scott’s fans, the “ragers,” also noticed the drop, one of them pondered in the comment section under the petition, “Why the signs keep going down wtf going on here @change.org.” The website didn’t respond to the fan but respo...

Joe Rogan Comments On Artists Ditching Spotify, Apologizes To DSP
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: LIONEL BONAVENTURE / Getty Joe Rogan attracts plenty of attention not only due to the massive popularity of his podcast but also his assumed stances against the handling of COVID-19 in the mainstream. However, his presence or Spotify has been somewhat disruptive to the business and Rogan took time to apologize to the DSP as a result. Rogan, who hosts the popular The Joe Rogan Experience, entered into an exclusive $100 million deal with the audio streaming service as part of its slate of original podcast programming. Rogan built an audience based on candid conversations and the occasional controversial guests, and part of that is why singer Neil Young opted to remove his entire catalog from Spotify.

Ahmaud Arbery’s Mother Says Her ‘Anxiety Is Over The Roof’ After Federal Prosecutors Reach Plea Deal With The McMichaels
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Pool / Getty There’s a reason so many Black people hate America: Even when we get justice we know how quickly it can turn to justice-lite at best and injustice at worst (and as usual). Ahmaud Arbery‘s murderers were convicted and sentenced to life in state prison, and all was right with the world. But because America is always going to America, Gregory and Travis McMichael were able to cut a backdoor plea deal with federal prosecutors and the Department of Justice that would ensure at least two out of the three Arbery lynchers would serve any federal sentence imposed on them concurrently with their state sentences, which they would likely spend in federal prison as opposed to state prison. According to CNN, attorney S. Lee Merritt spoke out agai...
