HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Cody Glenn / Getty Things haven’t been going to well for StockX in 2022, and now it’s been reported that the company will be laying off more of their workforce as they look to tighten up their belt to close out the year. According to Nice Kicks, StockX will be undergoing another round of layoffs just months after they let 8% of their workforce go as well. As to why StockX is letting more people go, that’s anyone guess. Their reputation took a huge hit when Nike accused them of selling them fake Nikes and Jordans as everyday customers have been complaining online about waiting weeks for sneakers they purchased on their website. Still, StockX released a statement somewhat explaining their latest move. “Our business is multifaceted and continues to evolve, a...

HipHopWired Featured Video Source: New York Daily News / Getty Kanye West, now known as Ye, is getting criticism from inside his own camp after the sudden closure of Donda Academylocated in Calabasas, California.

This Is A Start: Kyrie Irving Takes Responsibility For Problematic Tweet, Donates $500,000
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Dustin Satloff / Getty Oswald Bates, oops, we mean Kyrie Irving, is finally taking responsibility for his wreckless tweet where he shared a link to a film full of antisemitic tropes. Wednesday, November 2, 2022, Irving said he opposes all forms of hate, and he and the Brooklyn Nets will donate $500,000 to groups who work to eradicate it. Irving’s donation was a stark difference from his defiant tone during a press conference when he went back and forth with an ESPN reporter. While not directly apologizing, Kyrie Irving took responsibility for sharing the documentary on Twitter, which led to a negative impact on the Jewish community following the Nets guard’s refusal to apologize. In a joint statement with the Nets and Anti-Defamation League, Irving ...

White Lung Wonder What Happens “If You’re Gone” on New Single: Stream
White Lung will soon be no more, but they’re going out with a bang: Today, they’ve shared another taste of their forthcoming final album Premonition with the pummeling single “If You’re Gone.” Vocalist Mish Barber-Way has become a mother two times over since White Lung’s last album Paradise, and she’s explained that Premonition deals with topics of birth and evolution. But “If You’re Gone” focuses on the rebirth that happens when a loved one — particularly one who raised you — is no longer with you. “Suicide was in the zeitgeist in many ways when I wrote this song,” Barber-Way said in a press release. “At the time, a few prominent public figures had killed themselves and they all had children. I was thinking about postpartum depression and how real it can hit. The song ...
Sammy Hagar Says He’s Been Completely Cut Off by Alex Van Halen
Rumors of an all-star Van Halen tribute tour or concert have circulated since the 2020 passing of Eddie Van Halen. But recent remarks by one-time frontman Sammy Hagar insinuate that any such reunion — at least involving himself — remains a pipe dream. Hagar weighed in on the possibility of an Eddie Van Halen tribute in a new interview with SiriusXM’s Eddie Trunk. After ex-Metallica bassist Jason Newsted revealed earlier this year that he was involved in initial talks regarding the possible tour, Hagar was asked if there had been any further developments in recent weeks, to which Hagar replied in the negative. “As far as I know, [there has been] nothing,” Hagar told Trunk [as transcribed via Blabbermouth]. “There was that talk everybody heard about Jason being the bass player and Joe S...

Danny Boyle said he’s “very tempted” to direct a sequel to 28 Days Later, explaining that Alex Garland’s script for 28 Months Later is built around “a lovely idea.” Boyle and 28 Days Later star Cillian Murphy spoke to NME on the 20th anniversary of the film’s 2002 release. “It feels like a very good time actually,” Boyle said. “It’s funny, I hadn’t thought about it until you just said it, and I remembered ‘Bang, this script!’ which is again set in England, very much about England. Anyway, we’ll see… who knows?” The film already received one follow-up, 2007’s 28 Weeks Later, which featured an all-new cast and direction by Juan Carlos Fresnadillo. Garland’s script for 28 Months Later has been finished for a couple of years, and Boyle thinks n...
