Peep The Final Trailer To Sony’s ‘Morbius’
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Courtesy of Sony Pictures / Sony After years of getting pushed back due to the Coronavirus pandemic, Morbius is finally about to hit theaters and today Sony has dropped the final trailer to the Spider-Man spinoff before it’s April 1st release date. In the latest trailer to Morbius, we basically get what we’ve seen before with scenes of how Dr. Michael Morbius (Jared Leto) went from a man on death’s door to becoming an blood craving vampire in an attempt to cure himself of his disease, but it does seem like Michael Keaton will be playing a larger role than originally thought. Seemingly coming off as an ally to Michael Morbius, Keaton (who may or may not be playing The Vulture from Spider-Man: Homecoming), advises Morbius to “discover who you’re meant to be...

HipHopWired Featured Video CLOSE Source: NurPhoto / Getty An alleged photo of Big Sean’s penis has made it onto the Internets.

HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Your Old Droog / YOD Your Old Droog made his official debut back in 2014 with a pair of eponymously-named projects that displayed the early promise and masterful abilities of the talented yet mystifying lyricist.

Pete Davidson Quits Social Media Again, Mr. Don’t Bully Me Kanye West Takes Credit
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: James Devaney / Getty Looks like Kanye West might’ve scored a minor victory in his uncalled for war on Kim Kardashian’s new beau, Pete Davidson. After weeks of taking all kinds of fire from Ye including disses on records and even rumors about him having an STD, Pete Davidson apparently fired back at Kanye West on Instagram… and then deleted his page altogether. Page Six is reporting that it all started after Pete Davidson posted a clip of Robert De Niro as wannabe comic Rupert Pupkin in Martin Scorses’s 1981 film The King of Comedy in which he recited the line, “Better to be king for a night than schmuck for a lifetime.” Seems innocent enough, but y’all know social media and immediately fans began to speculate that it was a dart thrown at Kanye West ...
