Of Course Fox News Takes Issue With Eminem Taking A Knee At The Super Bowl
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: VALERIE MACON / Getty Many people figured that the Hip-Hop led Super Bowl Halftime Show was bound to rub conservatives and Trumpians the wrong way, one way or another. But when Eminem took a knee on stage (whether to pay homage to Tupac or Colin Kaepernick), y’all just knew the far-right was going to flip their MAGA lids. During a Fox News segment led by anchor Joe Concha, he discussed the “controversial” moment at the Super Bowl Halftime Show with an all-female panel and after taking a few shots at Colin Kaepernick, Concha asserted that Eminem shouldn’t have taken the stage if he planned on taking a knee the whole time. “If he truly wanted to be courageous here, he could’ve protested by not performing at the halftime show at all,” Concha said. “Instead h...
Donald Trump Told Governor That Mike Tyson Thought Robin Givens Was Sleeping With Him, Authors Say
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Bettmann / Getty Somebody really needs to check on Robin Givens and make sure she’s not somewhere throwing up all of her insides after hearing the news that Mike Tyson thought she was having relations with the blubbery, bulbous orange mass of lies, racism, misogyny and butthole-lips that is ex-President Donald Trump. Hell, maybe she already knew the unhinged and paranoid ex she was married to for just over a year was wilding with thoughts of her sharing a bed with Jabba the White Supremacist, but even the thought of it has to still at least tickle her gag reflex. We’re not talking about Michael Jordan here, after all—we’re talking about the gross guy who used to get natural Cheeto booty crust flavoring all over the Oval Office furniture. Anyway, in case y...

Azealia Banks Flames Up Kanye West’s Ex Julia Fox, Twitter Is Astonished
HipHopWired Featured Video CLOSE Source: Rachpoot/Bauer-Griffin / Getty Azealia Banks is known more for her razor-sharp tongue and wit more than music these days and when she decides to use her powers for destruction, it typically causes fireworks online. The latest missive from the talented Bronx rapper occurred when she shared a text message exchange and fight between her and Ye aka Kanye West‘s ex Julia Fox, which has Twitter talking. From what we can determine, it appears that Fox, 32 was running around saying Banks, 30, was a “junkie” after sharing a text message exchange between the pair when they were friendly. In the exchange, it looks like Banks was asking Fox if she knew anyone who sold a particular type of drug and promised she’d look around. For some reason, things went left wh...
