Chill Bro: Samsung Hires Vanilla Ice To Help Fight Climate Change [Video]
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Scott Dudelson / Getty Vanilla Ice is still getting to the bag decades after his biggest hit, and communal slander from the cullture. Samsung has partnered with Robert Van Winkle to help fight climate change via a catchy remix. As spotted on Engadget the 90’s rapper has signed up with the electronics brand to increase awareness surrounding saving the earth. To do so he has remixed his mega hit “Ice Ice Baby” to “Reduce Your Ice, Ice Baby”—yes you read that correctly. The new spin speaks to encouraging consumers to decrease their freezer temperatures which in essence will lower each individual’s carbon footprint to make a global and collective impact. New data issued from Samsung shows that if every household in Europe increased their freezer tem...
Rick Ross To Pay $11K In Monthly Child Support To His Baby Mama
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Joseph Okpako / Getty Looks like Rick Ross will be shedding a few pounds from his bank account on a monthly basis as he’s agreed to pay a hefty amount of child support to his baby mama, Briana Singleton. According to TMZ, the Bawse will be forking over a monthly amount of $11,000 to Singleton to support their three children which includes their health insurance and “extracurricular expenses” which come to about $7,560 a month. Couple that with an extra $3,000 and Rozay will be cutting monthly checks for close to $11,000. Not bad all things considered. “Rick also agreed to cut a check to Brianna’s attorney for $25,000, but he can afford it … the docs say RR’s monthly income is $585k, compared to $142 a month for his baby mama.” Talk about a come-up.

Moe Gotti: Yo Gotti Announced As Part Owner Of D.C. United Soccer Team
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Shareif Ziyadat / Getty Hip-Hop entertainers have dabbled in sports ownership over the years and considering the amount of cash these teams can rake in, it is as sound an investment as any. Yo Gotti joins the hallowed group of rappers who have also been partial team owners after he was introduced as a stakeholder in the D.C. United soccer franchise. As reported by The Washington Post, Gotti, 40, was announced Monday as part of an investment group that will own a small percentage of the Major League Soccer.

Another L: Omarosa Scores Victory Against Donald Trump In Battle To Enforce N.D.A. Against Her
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Paul Morigi / Getty Donald Trump, for whatever reason, loves to take things to litigation or, in this case, arbitration, but he can’t seem to win most of the legal battles he is involved in. The New York Times is reporting that Trump was handed another L in his attempt to enforce a nondisclosure agreement against Omarosa Manigault Newman, a former White House aide during his tumultuous presidency and a contestant on The Apprentice. Manigault wound up writing a tell-all book detailing how unhinged Trump was during his time at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, and he was not too pleased about that. Trump and his team filed the case in August 2018 with the American Arbitration Association in New York, and we are now just getting a decision that was made on Friday (S...

HipHopWired Featured Video CLOSE Source: Screenshot / Instagram Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith have one of the most enduring celebrity marriages and have been together as husband and wife for almost 25 years, but there have been some explosive hiccups along the way.

Controversial Broadway Production ‘Slave Play’ Didn’t Win Any Tony Awards
HipHopWired Featured Video CLOSE Source: Joseph Marzullo/WENN.com / WENN The 74th Tony Awards were held Sunday night (September 26) in New York and a Slave Play, which broke records with 12 nominations, seemed poised to notch at least one of the coveted trophies. However, as the evening concluded, the controversial Broadway production failed to win even one award despite all the hype and chatter around it. Slave Play, from playwright Jeremey O. Harris, is a three-act play following the lives of three interracial couples entering into “Antebellum Sexual Performance Therapy” due to the Black partners no longer feeling physically attracted to their white partners. The original off-Broadway production launched in 2018 and then hit Broadway after its initial roaring success. The play has garner...
Twitter Once More Debates Idris Elba As James Bond After Haters Claim He’s Too Old For The Role
HipHopWired Featured Video CLOSE Source: Lia Toby/WENN.com / WENN Idris Elba is still one of the entertainment world’s most dashing leading men and a natural shoo-in to take up the mantle of the legendary James Bond character. With the current Bond Daniel Craig bidding farewell to the role, Elba’s name was once again tossed into the hat as some stated that he’s too old for the role despite being younger than Craig is currently. Much of this chatter could be pointed to the fact that Craig’s last appearance as 007 will take place in the film No Time To Die, which has its world premiere in London tonight (September 28). According to Variety, Facebook will livestream the red carpet entries which fans can view via the Occulus headset, along with an exclusive view of the opening sequence of the ...

Edge Deficient Candace Owens Trends After Alleged Parody Account Posts Image Of Stacey Dash In Her Stead
HipHopWired Featured Video CLOSE Source: Jason Davis / Getty Candace Owens gets dunked on quite routinely on Twitter and more of the same has occurred this fine Monday morning (September 27). The controversial conservative commentator and media personality found herself trending on the social media service after a reported parody account tweeted an image of former Trumper Stacey Dash in Owens’ stead. “Candace Owens will be our first female President of the United States, and wokesters won’t vote for her, because they’re the real racists,” tweeted @GaryPetersonUSA, which Twitter framed as a parody account of an older conservative white man who is all about the MAGA vibes if you get our meaning. If true, the account is actually pretty spot on when it comes to the sorts that frequent that sid...
HHW Gaming Review: ‘NBA 2K22’ Is A Solid Entry In The Annual Franchise, Still Far From Championship Form
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Visual Concepts / NBA 2K22 (PS5) Last year Visual Concepts and 2K took a euro-step in the right direction with NBA 2K’s first entry in the world of next-gen gaming. Can they keep the momentum going with NBA 2K22? The answer to that question is yes and no. Allow us to explain. It’s a new year, and before the real NBA returns, we get to hoop virtually via NBA 2K22. Our review of NBA 2K21 said the game LOOKED and FELT terrific to play, but it still wasn’t a slam dunk, yet still an enjoyable experience despite its flaws. NBA 2K22 takes what was good with the previous iteration of the annual sports video game franchise and improves on that slightly. Quickly, players will notice that the presentation (always on point) is still second to none, and the gameplay h...
K-9 Karen: White Woman Fired For Racist Meltdown At Brooklyn Dog Park
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: @FredTJoseph / Twitter Brooklyn has become so gentrified that a white woman filled with that MAGA energy mouthed off to a Black couple who dared to walk their dog at a park this past weekend. In a video uploaded to Twitter by Fredrick Joseph, he describes how a “Karen” in a dog park in Williamsburg told them to stay in their own hood because apparently Brooklyn belongs to colonizers now. Seeing that things could go left, Joseph pulled out his phone and began recording the encounter before the women in question flipped him off and tried to smack the phone out his hand. After repeating her racist comment to her, BK Karen attempted to play the victim and accused the couple of saying that to her. Luckily a white man who witnessed everything confirmed on video...
