HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Prince Williams / Getty Apparently, rapper Fabolous is one of those celebrities whose life is so messy he can’t do something as mundane as wish his toddler a happy birthday without drama ensuing. “I named you Journey because that’s really what it’s been,” Fab captioned an Instagram post wishing his 2-year-old daughter Journey Happy Birthday. “Might not know when you going thru it, but you’ll get it at the end I don’t believe you can have faith unless you trust the JOURNEY. You have taught me that so I look at you with understanding & love. Your life assures it will all add up… 10 • 10 • 2020. Happy Bday Journey Jackson.” Awww, what a sweet photo and caption, right? Well, that was the sentiment for some time after the Instagram post was made, but thing...
50 Cent’s Estranged Son Offers Him $6,700 To Spend 24 Hours Together
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Bernard Smalls / @PhotosByBeanz It seems Marquise Jackson might have inherited the petty gene from 50 Cent. He recently offered his dad $6,700 to spend 24 hours together. As spotted on Complex Fif’s son has faced heavy criticism in the last week. He recently conducted an interview with Choke No Joke where he revealed that his estranged father only provides $6,700 dollars in monthly child support payments. His stance was that this amount isn’t enough for him to live on and naturally the internet deemed him to be ungrateful. Marquise Jackson took things a step further and replicated one of 50’s most iconic photos. Captured from an aerial view he is seen sitting on the ground with money spelling “Entitled. “Since y’all think $6,700 is sooo much money so...

Lizzo Had Time For Kanye West During Her SOLD OUT Show In Toronto
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Robert Okine / Getty Lizzo once again has to waste time addressing someone bringing her name up; this time, she seemingly clapped back at Kanye West. Ye or Kanye West, or whatever you want to call him, has been on one. The problematic multihyphenate has landed in hot water on both Instagram and Twitter after dropping antisemitic comments. He also took his dog and pony show to Fox News to chop it up with far-right apologist Tucker Carlson about his trash white lives matters shirts. During the interview, Ye, for whatever reason, decided to bring up Lizzo during his ridiculous and nonsensical diatribe. He loudly and wrongly claimed that “bots” were behind a push to keep Lizzo overweight. “Let’s get aside from the fact whether it’s fashion and vogue, which it...
Chucky Chuck Blasts Entire Kushstock Festival Crowd With Cannabis Fog Machine
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Pal Szilagyi Palko / EyeEm / Getty Chucky Chuck epically landed himself in the news cycle after pulling off a zany stunt by getting what was probably an already elevated crowd to an even higher state.

The Kushstock Festival took place on Oct. 8 in Adelanto, Calif., a free event celebrating the joys of cannabis and was presented by the Medicated Barbies.

Whitesplainer Sarah Silverman Dragged For Insinuating Black Twitter Condones Kanye West Anti-Semitism
HipHopWired Featured Video CLOSE Source: D Dipasupil / Getty Sarah Silverman did it to herself. The vocal comedian and activist took to Twitter to insinuate that Black people, or at least Black Twitter, was being silent about the anti-Semitic rhetoric Kanye West has been accused of hurling—and she was quickly and curtly course-corrected for her tomfoolery. In case you’ve been unaware, Kanye West found himself placed on pause by first Instagram and then Twitter for what many say is anti-Semitic commentary. It started with him claiming Jews were who told Diddy to holla at him and then he said he was straight going to “Death Con 3” on Jews, after he gets some sleep. That said, the Black Twitter delegation has been flaming Kanye West since he moment he dropped those bombs, and before, and for ...

University of California, Berkeley To Offer Course On Nicki Minaj’s Impact On The Music Industry
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Arturo Holmes / Getty It’s always a wonderful thing to see Hip-Hop be included in academia. It’s not that the culture really needs that validation, but whenever specific artists inspire college-level school curricula, it’s a reminder that Hip-Hop isn’t just a genre or even just an art form — it’s a movement and a tool to inform the masses. The University of California, Berkeley, will soon be offering a course that explores the cultural impact of none other than the “Chun Swae” queen herself, Nicki Minaj. Related Stories The course is titled “Nicki Minaj: The Black Barbie Femmecee & Hip Hop Feminisms,” and if you’re a UC student who also happens to be a Barbz and a scholar, you might want to head to the nearest course registration office.
