Jussie Smollett Sentenced To 5 Months In Jail, Says He’s Not Suicidal and Innocent
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Pool / Getty Actor Jussie Smollett was sentenced to five months in jail for the crime of faking a hate crime. Last year, the former Empire star was convicted of filing a false police report. Smollet infamously claimed that he was a victim of a racist and homophobic attack in 2019.

HHW Gaming Review: ‘Assassin’s Creed Valhalla: Dawn of Ragnarök’
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Ubisoft / Assassin’s Creed Valhalla: Dawn of Ragnarök Assassin’s Creed Valhalla is almost 2-years old, and yes, it’s still getting content added to it. The latest DLC, Dawn of Ragnarok, goes all-in on the Norse mythology, and it’s fun but isn’t the godly divine time we hoped it would be. Assassin’s Creed Valhalla was the first next-gen game we played on our new Xbox Series X in 2020. At the time, we called the game another solid entry into Ubisoft’s now polarizing Assassin’s Creed video game franchise. What gave the game its legs after launch was its well-thought-out post-game DLC content that took Eivor to France and Ireland, continuing Eivor’s journey. We were most intrigued about Ubisoft Sofia’s Dawn of Ragnarok, which promised to give us a much differ...
