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. Rok tells Krystal he is on her side and can no longer see himself working at Bla...
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...
Dancer Extraordinaire & Ellen’s Beloved DJ Stephen “tWitch” Boss Dead At 40, Twitter Reacts To Tragic News
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 ...
