HipHopWired Featured Video Source: TMZ / TMZ Bad boys move in silence and MAGA supporters seemingly can’t keep their mouth shut. One man bragged about rioting at The Capitol on a dating app and a woman put the police on him. As spotted on TMZ one man was doing entirely way too much when he was trying to land himself a hot date. According to the celebrity gossip site Robert Chapman, of Putnam County town Carmel, was arrested by the FBI for his role in the now infamous Capitol insurrection on January 6 in Washington. He apparently bragged about his involvement to a woman he met on the Buumble app. “I did storm the capitol.

Hip-Hop Wired Presents: CRT FRSH 4.23.21 [Playlist]
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: blackCAT / Getty Hip-Hop fans young and old are still reeling from the recent passing of New York giants Earl “DMX” Simmons and Robert “Black Rob” Ross within just a week of each other. Their energy and spirit are with us today as we also just lost Gregory “Shock G” Jacobs, so we opened this week’s CRT FRSH (Certified Fresh) playlist by adding some of their work. We open the playlist with the late Tupac “2Pac” Shakur’s “I Get Around” single featuring production and a verse from Shock G alongside his Digital Underground brethren. Most know that 2Pac’s appearance on Digital Underground’s “Same Song” was the first time most got to know him. We follow that up with the title track from Black Rob’s Genuine Article mixtape from 2015, proving that he still had th...

HipHopWired Featured Video Source: The Washington Post / Getty Levar Burton is coming to Jeopardy!

Dr. Dre Is About To Officially Become A Bachelor
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Apega/WENN.com / WENN That took a while. After months of a bitter and ugly divorce proceeding, Dr. Dre and Nicole Young are officially single and ready to mingle… well, kinda. The Blast is reporting that the judge overseeing their divorce is ready to sign off on legally separating the couple after the two agreed on their single “status” at this point in their lives. According to the legal documents the couple agreed to officially end their marriage as of April 15, 2021. Still, the financial part of everything is far from settled and will likely drag on until they come to some sort of agreement or Dr. Dre goes broke trying to protect his assets. Several weeks ago, Dr. Dre filed legal documents asking the judge to “bifurcate” the status of their divorc...

Biking While Black: New Jersey Cops Harass Black Biker For Not Having A License
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Screengrab / Youtube Given the unrest sparked by the actions of police officers across the nation, it remains baffling why instances of harassment masked as law enforcement remains rampant. In Perth Amboy, N.J., the actions of officers in the town sparked an investigation into the matter by the county prosecutor. As reported by NJ.com, a video of the incident captured by a group of young Black and Latino bike riders having a bit of two-wheeled fun depicted a moment where one of the officers responding to the non-violent collective decided it was time to flex some imaginary muscles. The reason the officers stopped the bikers was due to an obscure rule that they must have licenses to operate the bikes, something that probably doesn’t get enforced with a bun...
Union LA Celebrating 30th Anniversary With New Air Jordan 4 Colorway
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Jordan Brand / Jordan Brand With an already stacked year of Nike and Jordan releases, sneakerheads are in desperate need of oxygen so they and their bank accounts can breathe in-between high profile releases and limited-edition drops. Nike could care less about your health or pocketbook. No shots. The latest “must-have” pair of kicks comes from Union LA which is celebrating its 30th anniversary with the release of a new colorway of their much-hyped Air Jordan 4 drop from 2020. Though originally the Union LA x Air Jordan 4 were considered bricks when first revealed last year, both the “Guava Ice” and “Off Nior” quickly sold out when released and now retail for damn near $1000. This new colorway is easily the best out of the three as it dons some bright blu...

Meek Mill Blesses His Grandmother With A New Home
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Derrick Salters/WENN.com / WENN Meek Mill might’ve developed a reputation for being a bit stingy thanks to a situation that included some kids selling bottled water, but it looks like the Philadelphia rapper has no problem splurging on his family. Earlier this week the “What’s Free?” rapper took to Instagram to show just how much he loves his grandmother by revealing he’d just bought her a brand new home. With the caption reading “Loyalty is not just a word💎 Kick ya feet up Grandmom 💎 My dads mom #newcrib. I’m Prada myself! Ya definition of real not the same as mines I get it!” The man should in fact be “Prada” himself as not many rappers who experience success remember to do things like this for their grandparents. Sure they look out...
