Ghana Twitter Is Not Here For Meek Mill Shooting A Music Video At The Jubilee House
HipHopWired Featured Video CLOSE Source: Bernard Smalls / @PhotosByBeanz / Meek Mill Philly flame spitter Meek Mill enjoyed his time in Ghana, but he did something to rub the natives the wrong way. Rappers using locations to shoot their music videos is nothing new. With permission, Beyoncé and JAY-Z filmed their visual for “APESH*T” at the Lourve, and who’s telling The Carters no? Exactly. Besides getting his cell phone swiped and eventually getting it back, Meek Mill had a blast in Ghana, but he definitely had too much fun. A viral music video featuring the rapper and his homies rapping in the Jubilee House, the presidential palace in Ghana, is not sitting well with Ghanaians, who believe he violated his access. Television broadcaster Victor Atsu Tamaklo hit Twitter to talk about the disr...
HHW Gaming Presents 15 Games We Can’t Wait To Play In 2023
Source: Future Publishing / Getty / Video Games Welcome to 2023, and it promises to be another significant year for gamers. 2022 is in the books, and it closed on an extremely high note thanks to God of War: Ragnarok blowing gamers away once again and cementing Kratos as one of the greatest video game characters ever, sorry Mario. Oh, and we can’t forget Horizon Forbidden West, another fantastic entry into Guerilla’s epic franchise adding to PlayStation’s stellar year of exclusives. But that was then. This is now. 2023 looks promising, thanks mainly to games that were supposed to drop in 2022 having their wigs pushed back. Hip Hop Wired decided to narrow that list down to 15 games WE are most excited to pick up the sticks for in 2023. Now, if we miss one, that’s okay; remember, this is our...
No Debate: Skip Bayless Dragged For Insensitive Damar Hamlin Tweet, Shannon Sharpe A No-Show On ‘Undisputed’
HipHopWired Featured Video CLOSE Source: Nicholas Hunt / Getty / Skip Bayless Skip Bayless is not afraid to give his awful opinion on matters and offend people, but this time he definitely played himself. Monday night, the sports world came to a standstill when Buffalo Bills safety Darmin Hamlin passed out after suffering a cardiac arrest following a tackle on Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins, the team said in a statement. The unprecedented moment saw an ambulance make its way onto Paycor Stadium field. First responders performed CPR on Hamlin as his teammates and opponents tearfully watched and made a shield around him to keep fans from seeing what was happening. While that traumatic scene was going on, Skip Bayless was on his Twitter account and let off what many believe was ...
Swedish Activist Greta Thunberg Owns Alt-Right Hater Andrew Tate In A Single Tweet, Twitter Loves It
HipHopWired Featured Video CLOSE Source: JUSTIN TALLIS / Getty/ Greta Thunberg Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg put on a masterclass on how to check a troll, and all she needed was one tweet to make it happen. Manosphere meathead Andrew Tate f**ked around and found out when he picked a fight with the wrong teen on Twitter. Known for spreading straight-up misogyny, financial scams, and other heada**ery on TikTok, Tate decided to try Greta Thunberg and mock her on Elon Musk’s Twitter. For those who don’t know Tate, including us, he was a struggle kickboxer before he found his calling being an “alt-right influencer,” who proudly describes himself as “absolutely a sexist” and “absolutely a misogynist.” He also believes that women “belong in the home” and were “given to the man and belon...
Twitter Reacts To 1-Year-Old Waffle House Brawl Video, Amazed At White Employee Deflecting Chair
HipHopWired Featured Video CLOSE Source: Kevin C. Cox / Getty / Waffle House Only at Waffle House can customers get a side of hands and feet with their grits, cheese eggs, bacon, and waffles. *Trigger Warning, this story will contain written and visual references to a fight.* The famed down south 24-hour breakfast hot spot is usually the go-to destination after the club lets out or whatever late-night activities are wrapped up. The food should be the main topic of discussion with any food establishment, but with Waffle House, the brawls always seem to be on the menu. Recently a video of a brawl going down in the establishment between customers and Waffle House employees has gone viral on Twitter. Most believe it was recent, but the person who kindly deposited it on Elon Musk’s Twitter...

The Asteroid Is On The Way: Candace Owens Defends Megan Thee Stallion, Twitter Is Stunned
HipHopWired Featured Video CLOSE Source: Jason Davis / Getty / Candace Owens The Tory Lanez criminal trial is underway and about to wrap up. As reporters feed information to those intrigued by the spectacle this court case has become, allowing them to form opinions, primarily false, Megan Thee Stallion, the apparent victim in all of this, has gained an unlikely supporter in Candace Owens. A broken clock is right twice a day. Edgeless coonservative Candace Owens, who in the past has criticized Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion for their raunchy hit record “WAP,” is putting on her cape for the Houston rapper. Taking to Elon Musk’s Twitter, Owens blasted the obvious misogynoir Thee Stallion is receiving and shared a clip from her podcast calling it out. In the caption for the tweet, she wrote, ...

HipHopWired Featured Video CLOSE Source: Bernard Smalls / @PhotosByBeanz / Ceaser Last week it was Ceaser doing the firing. In the season 10 finale of Black Ink Crew, the tattoo shop mogul gets the axe, and his team wonders if this is the show’s end. Young Bae Makes Peace With Krystal After they got the boot last week, Young Bae decided to take herself to Gods of Ink tattoo shop on a goodwill mission. Bae feels awful for being why she, Krystal, Vanity, and Tatti got fired. Krystal is initially hesitant, but she decides to hear what Bae says. After a conversation ironically over some drinks, Krystal accepts Bae’s apology. Later in the episode, Krystal tells Rok about the moment and how the situation played out.

Beyonce Throwing ‘Club Renaissance’ Event In LA, The Beyhive Reacts To Missing Out On Tickets
HipHopWired Featured Video CLOSE Source: Matt Cardy / Getty / Beyonce Who wouldn’t want to close out the year partying with Beyonce? Some lucky fans in Los Angeles will have that opportunity after it was announced a ‘Club Renaissance’ event is going down in the city. Beyonce is teaming up with Amazon Music for two nights of greatness and celebrating her 6-month-old album Club Renaissance. Per Variety, details were scarce about what the event will be, but the invite reads Parkwood, Beyonce’s company, “invites you to experience ‘Renaissance’ in spatial audio” on Dec.17 and Dec.18. So basically, it sounds like a very exclusive listening event, but will Beyonce be there? That’s the million-dollar question. Thursday afternoon, fans received text messages alerting them to visit the Club Re...

HipHopWired Featured Video CLOSE Source: Robin L Marshall / Getty / Stephen ‘Twitch’ Boss We are sad to report that Stephen ‘tWitch’ Boss, the beloved DJ from the Ellen show and exceptional dancer, died at 40. Celebrity gossip site TMZ reports Boss’ death appears to result from a suicide attempt. Per TMZ: Law enforcement sources tell us Stephen’s wife, Allison Holker, ran into an LAPD station Tuesday, and she was frantic because she said Stephen had left home without his car — something that was not like him at all. We’re told, a short time later, police got a call for a shooting at an L.A. hotel … and they found Stephen there, dead from an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound. Holker confirmed the tragic news of her husband’s death in a statement to PEOPLE. “It is with the heaviest ...
Ghostface Killer (Not That One) Comes To New York In ‘Scream VI’ Trailer
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Paramount / Paramount Pictures With the surprising success of 2022’s Scream V, it was inevitable that Paramount Pictures would ultimately add another installment into the franchise but instead of waiting a decade in-between releases, they’re striking while the iron is hot. Earlier today we got our first look at the upcoming Scream VI and it looks like the Ghostface killer (not to be confused with the beloved Ghostface Killah) will be leaving the burbs and taking his talents to the big city, New York to terrorize the surviving victims of Scream V, Melissa Barrera, Jasmin Savoy Brown, Jenna Ortega and Mason Gooding. Related Stories Had they been smart about it they would’ve befriended the Wu-Tang Clan and the real Ghostface Killah once they moved to NY for ...
‘Black Ink Crew’ Recap: Ceaser Fires Multiple Cast Members Following “Bar Brawl”
HipHopWired Featured Video CLOSE Source: VH1 / Black Ink Crew Last week’s episode ended with a fight and this week’s episode focuses on the ramifications of that dust-up. Young Bae Went Nuts Last week’s cliffhanger, where Bae tossed a drink in the direction of Vanity, turned out to be far worse than we thought. Bae threw the entire glass, and instead of the glass hitting its intended target, Krystal was a recipient of the dousing and the cup, and she retaliated by chucking a glass at Bae. Bae walked away with a nasty wound on her ear that required stitches. A producer steps into the establishment to stress there is a no fighting policy, and violence could lead to the show being canceled. That’s rich because of what went down with the show’s main star, Ceaser. A subject we will be touching ...
