TMZ reports that “offended” viewers had plenty to say after watching the two rappers perform.

Other complaints focused on the artists’ wardrobe calling their stage attire, with one viewer from Idaho of all places calling it “absolutely disgusting.” A viewer from...

Mystery Solved: Kanye West Is Not The Richest Black Person In America
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Kevin Mazur / Getty Kanye West was all the buzz in the news this week when reports came forth that he was potentially the richest Black person in United States history. As we shared in our reporting on the earlier story, much of the valuation of West’s deals were speculative in nature and a new analysis debunks some of the headlines. Forbes examined the report put forth by Bloomberg that valued West’s clothing deal with the Gap at $4.7 billion due to a private bank document. However, Forbes is saying that the much-ballyhooed $6.6 billion number that has been floating around for days doesn’t pass muster. The folks at Forbes believe that West, very much still a billionaire, is actually worth closer to $1.8 billion, which proves his wealth has grown vastly i...
