50 Cent Brings Out DaBaby During Rolling Loud New York Set [Video]
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Bernard Smalls / @PhotosByBeanz Love him or hate him very few people tell 50 Cent how to move.

Ciara Celebrates Her Birthday In A Sexy Beaded Bra Top & Skirt
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Nicky Nelson/WENN.com / WENN Just because Ciara is happily married to the somewhat conservative choir boy that is NFL superstar, Russell Wilson, that doesn’t mean she can’t let her hair down and show some skin here and there, right? Well, that’s exactly what she did (though her hair was more up than down) as she celebrated her 36th birthday in a vintage Dolce & Gabbana gold beaded bra top and matching miniskirt with built-in hot pants. Captioning the pic with “Birthday SZN feeling like gold,” the “Goodies” singer looked stunning as she posed up a storm for her IG page to show she’s still got the goods and that married life isn’t keeping her from oozing sex appeal. If you thought Russell Wilson might’ve felt a ways about the revealing outfit, he actual...
WSB-TV News Anchor Jovita Moore Has Passed, Colleagues & More Remember Her Via Twitter
HipHopWired Featured Video CLOSE Source: Paras Griffin / Getty Hearts are heavy across the Atlanta metropolitan region and the rest of the nation after news that Emmy Award-winning journalist Jovita Moore has died.

Gamely, Farmer delivered the news out of sheer obligation and perhaps a will of steel as the production team put together a collage of videos featuring Moore at work.

We’re back with a fresh update of our CRT FRSH (Certified Fresh) playlist and we’re opening things up differently this week.
