HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Bill McCay / Getty Another chapter has been added to Lamar Odom’s book of struggles. A judge recently blasted him for missing his child support payments despite being able to box Aaron Carter. As spotted on Page Six the former baller has some explaining to do regarding his beloved children. On Tuesday, January 27 a hearing was held in a Manhattan, New York court about his lack of consistency with making child support payments. “If Mr. Odom is in good enough shape to participate in a boxing match, he’s certainly in good enough shape to abide by his obligations to support his children as set forth in the settlement agreement,” Manhattan Supreme Court Judge Matthew Cooper said via video.

HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Bernard Smalls / @PhotosByBeanz83 We can now add playlist-making to the list of things JAY-Z is exceptionally good at. Monday (Jun.28), something extremely rare happened. JAY-Z took some time out of his day to hop on Twitter. Jigga joined his new buddy and now the owner of his majority stake in TIDAL Jack Dorsey to discuss the evolution of the streaming service over the years during a very impromptu 30-minute conference on Twitter’s recently launched Clubhouse killer Twitter Spaces. During the conference, guests were shocked to learn that Hov enjoys making playlists and even feels that his playlists are second to none.

HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Bernard Smalls / @PhotosByBeanz Safaree and Erica Mena may not be living happily ever after anymore, but the soon-to-be divorced couple are now proud parents to a healthy baby boy.

But if their roles on Love & Hip-Hop is any indication, tha...
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: ERIN SCHAFF / Getty Clarence Thomas, one of the most conservative voices on the Supreme Court might have just put the nail in the coffin on federal opposition to marijuana legalization. This past Monday (June 28), the Supreme Court declined to hear a new case related to a Colorado medical marijuana dispensary seeking federal tax breaks that other businesses were allowed. Thomas’ opinion in the case of Standing Akimbo LLC v. United States was the most striking, questioning the need for federal laws against marijuana that were disjointed in their application and reach. “A prohibition on interstate use or cultivation of marijuana may no longer be necessary or proper to support the federal government’s piecemeal approach,” he wrote in his dissenting opinion. ...
