But I mean, we were living together,” he said to the paper. “She [Jana] stayed here for about 18 months after Rushi was born.” Rushi is the nickname for the couple’s first child, Elliot Rush, who was born in 2017. Errol seemed unabashed about the revelation, saying: “The only thing we are on Earth for is to reproduce. If I could have another child I would. I can’t see...

Far-Right, Anti-Gay Pastor Jesse Lee Peterson Allegedly Had Secret Same-Sex Relationships
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Jason Kempin / Getty When it comes to most anti-gay, anti-LGBTQ talking heads, they always seem to have some skeletons in their closet waiting to come out. Manosphere pastor Jesse Lee Peterson might be a perfect example of that. Is Jesse Lee Peterson Living A Secret Gay Life? Jesse Lee Peterson is the token Black man white conservatives and far-right advocates love to champion. He denies the existence of white privilege, is against Black people taking advantage of government programs, and most importantly, can’t stand homosexuality. Patterson also bizarrely believes that “Any woman that is climaxing is becoming a man. Because it’s not normal for women to do that.” What? Well, the chickens are finally coming home to roost for Patterson. The Daily Beast rep...
Unpublished Memoir of Liar and Emmett Till Accuser Carolyn Bryant Donham Made Public
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Bettmann / Getty A memoir written by the woman who was at the center of the murder of Emmett Till has surfaced. The discovery, coupled with news of an unserved warrant from that time has raised calls to reopen the case. According to NewsOne, an unnamed source provided a copy of a 100-page memoir from Carolyn Bryant Donham, the woman who made the false accusation against 14-year-old Emmett Louis Till in Mississippi in 1955. Her claim led to the boy’s abduction, savage beating, and lynching. Till’s grotesquely disfigured face was published in JET Magazine, spurring many to mobilize within the Black community and serving as a flashpoint for the Civil Rights movement of the 1950s and 1960s. The document, entitled “I Am More Than A Wolf Whistle”, was apparentl...
GOP Sen. Josh Hawley Gets Owned By Berkeley Professor Khiara Bridges For Transphobic Questioning
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Tom Williams / Getty Berkeley law professor Khiara Bridges owned fist-pumping, insurrectionist supporting Senator Josh Hawley (R-MO) during a hearing Tuesday (Juy 12) about the overturning of the Supreme Court decision to overturn Roe v Wade. During the hearing, which veered off into conversations about trans persons and their ability for pregnancy, Bridges gave back Hawley everything he asked for and more. “You’ve referred to ‘people with a capacity for pregnancy’,” he said. “Would that be women?” Bridges replied: “Many women, cis women, have the capacity for pregnancy. Many cis women do not have the capacity for pregnancy. There are also trans men who are capable of pregnancy, as well as non-binary people who are capable of pregnancy.” While...

White Supremacists Charged With Hate Crimes For Alleged Racist Messages Left Around New York Town
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Spencer Platt / Getty Three accused white supremacists have been arrested and charged with leaving more than 100 messages of hate on the properties of residents in the small and overwhelmingly (93 percent) white town of Hornell, New York. Unsurprisingly, the first report of their literal hate mail campaign came from a predominately Black church. From the New York Times: A worshiper arriving for services at Rehoboth Deliverance Ministries — a largely Black church in the mostly white city of around 8,500 about an hour south of Rochester — found a leaflet affixed to the door, the police chief, T.J. Murray, said in an interview on Tuesday. On it were the words “Aryan National Army” and an image of a skull inside a swastika, he said. By the time the weekend wa...
Styles P Filmed Ripping Police Arresting Black Woman By His Juice Bar
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Erika Goldring / Getty Styles P has always kept it real on and off the stage, and a recent video provided another example as he responded to police making a rough arrest outside of his juice bar on Tuesday (July 12). In a video originally shared on the TikTok social media platform, the “Hit Different” rapper was on the scene outside of his Juices For Life establishment in Yonkers, New York assisting a woman who was being pinned to the ground by police officers. In the clip, the two cops appeared to slam the woman to the ground and handle her roughly as they informed her repeatedly that she was under arrest. The cause behind their actions was unclear. Another woman was filming, and Styles P joined her, at one point calling one officer trying to handcuff th...
Twitter Had A Rough Day, Users Had Hilarous Reactions To The 40-Minute Service Outage
HipHopWired Featured Video CLOSE Source: NurPhoto / Getty Twitter had a major service outage, and users reacted hilariously to being without their favorite social media platform. What’s Going On With Twitter? If you just opened up Twitter right now, you can’t tell that it suffered another service outage. For about 40 minutes early Thursday morning (Jul.14). Things went south for the platform at about 8:05 am ET when users began complaining about receiving “over capacity” and “this page is down” messages. Per The Verge, issues plagued users trying to tweet using the mobile app, web client, or even TweetDeck. DownDetector received thousands of reports about Twitter at the time, but when you checked Twitter’s status page, “all systems operational.” Users noted that Twitter.com loaded as...
Teen ‘Stranger Things’ Star Noah Schnapp Apologized To Doja Cat, Says “Everything Is All Good”
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Mondadori Portfolio / Getty So, most of y’all know the saga by now: Doja Cat recently called out 17-year-old Noah Schnapp for sharing a message she sent to him asking him to hook her up with his Stranger Things co-star Joseph Quinn calling it “snake s**t.” The call-out kind of backfired on Doja costing her a couple hundred thousand followers because it turns out some people think it’s weird and inappropriate for a 26-year-old to hop in a teen’s DM to request a hook-up regardless of the fact that the man she was crushing on is at least age-appropriate. (Sure, you could argue they were both wrong—but one of them is a whole teenager.) Related Stories At any rate, Schnapp is ready to put the drama to bed and he posted a Tik Tok video saying he apologize...
