HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Bel-Air Athletics / Bel-Air Athletics Just when we thought we knew Will Smith we find out we really don’t. The Hip-Hop icon reveals he experienced bizarre effects during sex after suffering his first heartbreak. As spotted on The Huffington Post the rapper turned actor is giving the world a view into his life like never before. In his recent memoir Will he details how his first true love put him a unique space after the relationship ended. Melanie, who he describes as “beautiful” with a “beguiling mixture of insecurity and quirkiness surrounding a simmering core of artistic brilliance”, apparently stepped out on him while he was on tour.

Boosie Badazz Ridiculously Accuses Lil Nas X of Online Bullying
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Prince Williams / Getty Lil Nas X lives rent-free in the mind of the Boosie Badazz. The one-sided beef between Boosie and Lil Nas X continues. Speaking with his favorite op, VLADTV, Boosie claimed that the “Old Town Road” rapper is bullying him and ridiculously claimed that Lil Nas X is able to say things like “f*ck yo kids” without having to worry about repercussions because he is gay. Boosie was asked if he would care if Lil Nas X took his own life? Boosie responded by saying he wouldn’t really care. “I probably would, but I probably wouldn’t give too much f*cks about him,” Boosie said. “He said f*ck my kids. He said f*ck all y’all kids. So, everybody that’s really chestin’ up for Nas, he said f*ck yo kids. That’ why I be like—he said f*ck yo kids, so, ...
Young Dolph Honored With His Own Cookie From Black-Owned Bakery
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Justin Ford / Getty The shooting death of Young Dolph outside of one of his favorite spots, Makeda’s Cookies, rocked the Hip-Hop world as well as his hometown of Memphis, Tennessee.

All 3 Of Ahmaud Arbery’s Murderers Found Guilty, All Facing Life
HipHopWired Featured Video CLOSE Source: Pool / Getty After over 11 hours of deliberation, all three of the men accused of murdering Black jogger Ahmaud Arbery were found guilty. Hey, even a broken clock is right twice a day, right? The Justice system is still rigged in favor of a certain complexion (see: Kyle Rittenhouse), but sometimes it does get things right. Mind you, it was clear as day that three racist bozos clearly ran down Arbery and murdered him for the crime of being Black and jogging in Georgia, but the trial by jury still had to go down. Reports NewsOne: The convictions of father and son Gregory and Travis McMichael along with their friend and neighbor William “Roddie” Bryan — who all racially profiled Ahmaud Arbery before arming themse...

Black Twitter Puts On Capes To Defend ‘King Richard’ After One White Woman’s Ridiculous Criticism
HipHopWired Featured Video CLOSE Source: Samir Hussein / Getty One white author’s ridiculous take about King Richard starring Will Smith drew the ire of Black Twitter. King Richard stars Will Smith as Richard Williams, the polarizing but insanely determined father of Venus and Serena Williams. The film details the rise of the Williams sisters, particularly Venus, from Richard Williams’ perspective while telling the story of his 78-page manifesto he came up with that put Venus and Serena on a path to greatness. The film has generated plenty of Oscar buzz, with many believing this is Will Smith’s best work since The Pursuit of Happyness and could land the actor for an Oscar nomination for his performance. But, of course, some people have felt the need to complain about the film’s telling the...

HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Kevin Mazur / Getty Jay-Z is officially a Rock and Roll legend, too, having been inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of fame. With that comes some pretty cool perks including getting his very own varsity jacket to commemorate the historic honor.

Goofy Defense Attorney Uses “Runaway Slave” Imagery To Describe Ahmaud Arbery
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Pool / Getty The defense lawyer for George and Travis McMichael, two of the three white men accused of killing young Black jogger Ahmaud Arbery in Brunswick, Georgia last February, came under fire for their closing arguments in the trial that painted Arbery in a highly stereotypical and shocking display. Laura Hough, representing George McMichael, painted a picture of Arbery in her closing arguments on Monday (November 22nd) that was unflattering to the point where she described him as wearing “khaki shorts, with no socks to cover his long, dirty toenails.” The statement elicited gasps from those in the courtroom gallery, which included Arbery’s mother, Wanda Cooper-Jones. As reported later, she arose and left the courtroom after Hough’s statement, saying...
