D.L. Hughley Says Pete Davidson “Out Of Pocket” For Getting Kanye & Kim’s Kid’s Initials Tattoo
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Bobby Bank / Getty Apparently, the messy and public feud between Kanye West and Kim Kardashian‘s current boo Pete Davidson is still ongoing, and while Ye typically seems to be the aggressor in the reality TV-ish shenanigans, this time it’s Pete causing folks online to raise their eyebrows. It appears that Davidson has tattooed the first initials of Kanye and Kim’s children’s names on his neck in the order of the children’s ages. Yikes! Related Stories “Yeeeeah, I gotta say I’m team Kanye on this one. While it might be true that Pete treats his body like it’s the inside of a high school yearbook and is constantly getting simple-word tattoos to represent various things in his world, getting the names of someone else’s children tattooed on his neck is weird,...
Cardi B Insists She Was Joking When She Made Booger Sugar Reference At Met Gala Party
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Noam Galai / Getty If nothing else Cardi B has been known to shoot from the lip and create controversy at times with her words and thoughts, so when she seemingly encouraged people to drink some liquor and to “take a line” at the Met Gala, people thought she was being deadass. She says she wasn’t. According to Page Six, Cardi felt the need to clear up her intentions and naturally said she was only joking when she said “Make sure you got your drinks, make sure y’all do your little [lines]. Whatever the f–k you have to do. We got to turn the f–k up. I want everybody dancing!” We mean, we wouldn’t be surprised if some if not many of the celebrities attending the Met Gala on Monday (May 2) took a little nose candy with them to indulge in. In a video pos...

J.J. Redick Gets Praise For Smacking Down Host’s FOX News Undertones About Draymond Green
HipHopWired Featured Video CLOSE Source: Mitchell Leff / Getty J.J. Redick is a real one. The former Duke star and NBA pro had to call out a fellow ESPN host’s suspect, FOX News-friendly “undertones” when discussing Draymond Green’s style of play, and is getting praise from NBA Twitter that knows exactly what he was pointing out. In a segment for ESPN’s First Take, Redick got into it with Chris Russo, who came through with the tried and true “shut up and dribble” take when it comes to Green’s antics on the court. Russo took issue with Green’s commentary in a presser last night, where he expressed no remorse for flipping off fans, adding that if he gets fined it’s cool since he’s a millionaire. In true snowflake fashion, Russo was offended—and threw in a familiar racial dog whistle while he...

Will Smith Vibes: Man Received Universal Beatdown After Rushing Dave Chappelle Onstage
HipHopWired Featured Video CLOSE Source: Tim Nwachukwu / Getty For a person who attracts the level of notoriety and controversy, Dave Chappelle is aware enough to employ solid security around himself when away from home on the job. One man learned the effectiveness of his team after he attempted to attack the comedian and was on the business end of a fade delivery that left him suffering from injuries. The Hollywood Reporter shared in a report that Chappelle was at the end of his set at the Netflix Is A Joke festival preparing to thank the other comedians who joined him onstage. It was then that the man rushed and tackled Chappelle to the ground, with the men starting to tussle.

Play That Funky Music: Twitter Debates The Careers Of Jack Harlow & Lil Dicky For Some Reason
HipHopWired Featured Video CLOSE Source: Kevin Winter / Getty Let’s start with a simple fact. Jack Harlow and Lil Dicky don’t appear to have the same aims musically but it’s no denying that they’re high-profile white rappers, which prompted some on Twitter to debate about their careers for some odd reason. On Wednesday (May 4), Lil Dicky’s name began trending on Twitter after one user compared the two artists at the expense of Dicky, saying that the Dave series lead wishes he had the career that Jack Harlow is enjoying currently. As it stands, Harlow definitely seems to be the “it” white rapper of the moment at least on the mainstream level. Adding to this, Harlow is signed to DJ Drama and Don Cannon’s potent Generation Now imprint by way of Atlantic Records. With Dicky being a native of P...

Tatti also avoided being thrown in jail for a long time. This week’s episode of Black Ink Crew was relatively drama-free, with Ceaser uniting the crews of Chicago and Compton for a good cause. Rok & Krystal FINALLY Head To Atlanta Last week Rok and Krystal’s road trip to Atlanta hit a speedbump because their new dog attacked Krystal six hours into the trip, forcing them to turn around and head back to New York City. Anyway, the story didn’t make any sense, and even after FaceTiming Puma and the crew on this week’s episode, the story still sounds shaky. Rok tells Puma th...
A Run Down of Who Did & Didn’t Understand The Assignment At This Year’s Met Gala
The Met Gala made its triumphant return in 2021 and is back in 2022 to give fashionistas and people on social media something to talk and joke about, thanks in large part to some of the fits celebrities think they got off. As with previous years of the $35,000 a ticket celebrity spin on Halloween, your favorite actors, musicians, athletes, models, and fashion designers tried their best to stick with the soiree’s theme. This year’s theme, “In America: An Anthology of Fashion,” is a follow-up to 2021’s “In America: A Lexicon in Fashion” theme, but this time focus was on America’s “Gilded Age.” The dress code for Monday night’s (Apr.2) spectacle was “gilded glamour, white tie,” which honestly doesn’t sound too hard to stick with, but you know these celebs like to make things difficult when it...
