You Care: Joe Boo-Den aka Joe Budden Got Alex Jones Foaming At The Mouth, Allegedly
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Phillip Faraone / Getty Joe Budden is beefing with conspiracy theorist extraordinaire Alex Jones. We’re guessing this wasn’t on your 2021 bingo card. Jones is probably most known as the guy who told anyone who would listen that the Sandy Hook mass shooting didn’t actually happen. Actually, it did, and he was sued for defamation due to his lies about the tragedy, and lost. That said, Jones got all in his feeling when Budden criticized comedian and podcaster Andrew Schultz for interviewing Jones, who the rapper referred to as “the KKK guy.” Apparently, that’s all he needed to go in a Budden on his InfoWars site. [embedded content] According to Jones, Budden is the real racist. “I will not sit there and have racist Black people who are feeding at the corpora...

Iconic music producer Jimmy Jam appeared at the Grammy Museum alongside Richard and Demi to host the five-hour show that also featured NAACP president Derrick Johnson and special guests DJ Cassidy, Mike Muse and Siedah Garrett, among others.

When the music started playing, everybody had a common head no...
Bill Cosby Urges Howard University to Support ‘Freedom of Speech’ Amid Backlash Against Phylicia Rashad

My heartfelt wish is for healing.” And Howard released a statement on Twitter reading, “Survivors of sexual assault will always be our priority.” “While Dean Rashad has acknowledged in her follow-up tweet that victims must be heard and believed, her initial tweet lacked sensitivity towards survivors of sexual assault,” the Howard statement continued. “Per...
ABBA ‘Gold’ Is First Album to Log 1,000 Weeks on U.K. Chart
