Jamie Foxx Gets Denied Entry Into Cardi B’s Birthday Party
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Romain Maurice / Getty Jamie Foxx is one of the few celebrities left in the world that’s considered golden wherever he shows up (Will Smith used to be one, but y’all know what happened), but apparently security at Cardi B’s birthday party felt differently. Yesterday, social media was buzzing after TMZ reported that the beloved Oscar-winning actor was actually denied entry into Cardi B’s birthday party even though he was invited to the WeHo soiree. Showing up fashionably late with an entourage consisting of 10 people, security informed Foxx and his crew that they didn’t have any sections available at the event, and the Ray actor decided to take his talents elsewhere. Knowing that they didn’t want to get on Foxx’s bedside, security tried to make amends and ...
All Falls Down: JPMorgan Chase Ends Banking Relationship With Kanye West
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: The Washington Post / Getty Kanye West is quickly learning there are consequences to being a “free thinker” and just saying antisemitic things. JPMorgan Chase has informed the rapper they will no longer be handling the “billionaire’s” company’s cash. Once you say antisemitic things, it all falls down. After weeks of making head*ss comments and a white lives matter shirt that earned him a ton of well-deserved backlash, JPMorgan Chase informed the billionaire, “genius,” rapper that his YEEZY money is no longer good there. West and his team were told by the American-based multinational investment bank and financial services holding company. In the statement, JPMorgan Chase noted a recent conversation with an entity whose name can’t be seen, led to the decisi...

Kanye West and Ray J Reunite At Candace Owens’ Struggle BLM Doc Premiere
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Jason Davis / Getty Candace Owens is known for bringing people together. Yeah right, but she did manage to reunite Ray J and her new buddy Kanye West at the premiere for her alleged Black Lives Matter documentary. Source: Jason Davis / Getty Reportedly, Owens and MAGA Ye have been in constant conversation lately (she proudly rocked the widely panned “White Lives Matter” tee with Ye). Which actually makes sense since he’s also been going full antisemite. But for now, we’ll discuss the premiere of Owens’ documentary about the BLM movement, The Greatest Lie Ever Sold: George Floyd and the Rise of BLM, which went down last night in Nashville at the Woolworth Theater. As reported by Page Six, there was Ray J (who infamously starred in a sextape with Kim Kardas...
Lil Baby “Heyy,” G Herbo “No Guts, No Glory” & More | Daily Visuals 10.11.22
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: AXE / AXE Lil Baby is currently one of the biggest artists in the game today, and though he doesn’t drop videos on the regular like some of his rap peers, when he does he likes to make them seem like a movie. Such is the case for his latest visuals to “Heyy” in which the man with the southern swagger sits at a table stacked with money while a line of women eagerly wait their turn to greet Lil Baby who likes to be pampered. Just enjoying the fruits of his labor. Back in Chicago, G Herbo seems to be trying to get right with God and in his clip to “No Guts, No Glory” finds himself in the house of the Lord where he drops his bars which contain hella explicit lyrics. We wonder if the pastor heard the record before letting G shoot his video there. Check out the...

HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Nike / NIke After years of complaints and cries from the sneaker community, it looks like Nike is finally taking a stand against resellers and sneaker bots. According to Highsnobiety, Nike put out a statement informing everyone that they would be taking steps to keep customers from buying their products solely for the purpose of flipping them on the secondary market for profit. In the statement, Nike bluntly stated that if they come to the conclusion that any customer is purchasing sneakers simply to resell them that the company will not only “suspend the applications of any NIKE policy” but will also cancel orders, decline to issue refunds, close any account and even ban them from any NIKE store.
