DJ Khaled ft. Jadakiss “JADAKISS INTERLUDE” & More | Daily Visuals 9.6.22
HipHopWired Featured Video It’s been a few months since Kendrick Lamar blessed us with his latest project, Mr. Morale & the Big Steppers, but that isn’t keeping the man from dropping a new visual for one the album’s standout cuts. Coming through with a short film for “We Cry Together,” K. Dot ditches the audio from the album and goes live and direct with it as he argues up a storm with the talented Taylour Paige and reminds us that he truly is a once in a generation artist that we need to appreciate while he’s here. It was like watching a play and we loved every second of it.

HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Prashant Gupta / Netflix Seems like just yesterday Vince Staples had haters raising money for his retirement from rap music.

Nope, Scottie Pippen’s Ex & Michael Jordan’s Son Not Dating, Despite Being Spotted Out Together
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Manny Hernandez / Getty We all know that nothing gets the rumor mill spinning like when celebrities who know one thought were dating are caught out it public together looking like they’re on a date. Well, apparently, that also applies to the family members of celebrities. So, Scottie Pippen’s ex-wife was spotted with Michael Jordan’s son and the two appeared to be on a double date with another couple. Now, for those of us who would not recognize Pippen’s ex or Jordan’s son if we bumped into them at Waffle House and they were both wearing the respective Chicago Bulls jerseys of the NBA legend they’re attached to, we might wonder how anyone even noticed the pair. (To be fair, Pippen’s ex is a Real Housewives star, so, fans would certainly know her. It’s ent...

Linking up for the visuals to “I Ain’t Gon Hold Ya,” DJ Drama and Jeezy reunite (as does Jeezy’s head with his old bandana) to kick it with some thick young ladies who twerk on a paisley covered couch that’s sure to become a traphouse stable.

He got some dope murals painted up in there. Check out the rest of today’s drops including work from JID, Tyga, and more. DJ D...

Dave Chappelle Takes Swipe At Will Smith Over Oscars Slap
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Kevin Mazur/VF16 / Getty Dave Chappelle and Chris Rock both addressed the infamous moment at the Oscars when Will Smith slapped rock during the ceremonies over a joke towards Jada Pinkett-Smith. While in England during a joint comedy set, Chappelle took a swipe at Smith and seemingly questioned the actor’s character. Dave Chappelle and Chris Rock were in Liverpool at the 02 Arena, as reported by The Telegraph. The unavoidable elephant in the room was the Oscars moment, which Rock only reportedly touched on in his set and instead told jokes about dating as a middle-aged man, America’s political woes, and Meghan, Duchess of Sussex. Chappelle’s set focused on the controversy surrounding his Netflix special The Closer, but then turned his attention to Smith. ...
HHW Gaming: Xbox’s Phil Spencer Says ‘Call of Duty’ Will Remain on PlayStation For “Several Years”
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Activision / Call of Duty Following Microsoft’s $68.7 billion acquisition of Activision, the million-dollar question that many began to ask was if Call of Duty would become an Xbox-exclusive title. Phil Spencer is doubling down on the game, staying on PlayStation for now. The Verge reports that Xbox chief Phil Spencer verbally committed in a letter to PlayStation’s Jim Ryan that Activision’s uber-popular first-person shooter franchise Call of Duty will remain on PlayStation platforms for “several years.” While that is still highly vague because several years could mean anything, it’s the most clear-cut sign that the game isn’t leaving PlayStation platforms. “In January, we provided a signed agreement to Sony to guarantee Call of Duty on PlaySta...
Tiffany Haddish Addresses Those Wild Molestation Allegations
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: ROBYN BECK / Getty Tiffany Haddish has a whole lot of explaining to do. The comedian and actress has addressed the accusations of molestation she is facing with controversial comic Aries Spears. In case you’ve been under a rock, Haddish and Spears have come under fire thanks to a lawsuit where they are accused of grooming an underage sister and brother via their participation in a “skit” that depicted molestation. There’s nothing comical about sexual molestation, but here we are. Related Stories Haddish took to Instagram to cop her pleas, in a post that not so shockingly has its comments turned off. “I know people have a bunch of questions. I get it. I’m right there with you,” begins Haddish’s statement. “Unfortunately, because there is an ongoing legal c...

JID Displays Impressive Scope Of His Talents On New ‘The Forever Story’ LP [Review]
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Scott Dudelson / Getty JID should be a superstar in every respect, but it appears that he has a sizeable amount of doubters alongside his droves of fans. The curious and often frustrating assessment of the talented lyricist should be shifted by the conclusion of his aggressive yet soulful third studio album, The Forever Story. As it stands, JID is one of the best rappers of his generation and has been for at least a decade despite not having a career-defining project that separates him from his peers. Dating back to his DiCaprio EP debut for Dreamville Records/Interscope in 2015, the promise has always been high for the Atlanta artist. JID’s debut album, The Never Story, expanded on his sound and proved that the rapper, born Destin Route, was one to watch...
