Travis Scott & Kylie Jenner Are Still Together Despite ‘W Mag’ Allegation, Sources Say
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Bob Levey / Getty Are they or aren’t they? Should we care?

A savvy Twitter user by the name of @DallasScorpio92 used their eagle eyes to zoom in on Cannon’s crotch, which seemingly has Cannon’s “cannon” on vivid display. The slack, like most suits in the modern era, is extremely fitted to Cannon’s frame so there might not be any mistaking what lurks below Cannon’s waist. Of course, it isn’t like Cannon walked out on stage and showed off the hammer all nilly-willy but the bright lights of the studio and Twitter being Twitte...

HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Jordi Salas / Getty Salute to the readers and supporters of Hip-Hop Wired! We’re back with a fresh update of our CRT FRSH (Certified Fresh) playlist and we’re just a tad late for the update this week, our bad.

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene Makes Stupid Comparison Of COVID-19 To Cancer
HipHopWired Featured Video CLOSE Source: OLIVIER DOULIERY / Getty Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, the Republican congresswoman who believes in Jewish-owned space lasers and other QAnon conspiracies, is back to stirring up controversies with another stupid and unnecessary opinion. This time, Greene compared COVID-19 death rates to that of cancer, even though only one of these conditions is contagious. It should be noted that there are two Twitter accounts for the Georgia elected official but only one of which is verified, thus we do believe it’s fair to attribute the following tweets to Greene. From Twitter: 1. Every single year more than 600,000 people in the US die from cancer. The country has never once shut down. Not a single school has closed. And every year, over 600,000 people, of all a...
