Source: Walt Disney Studios / Disney+ Starring Tatiana Maslany as lawyer Jennifer Walters a.k.a She-Hulk, the trailer follows Walters as she comes to grip with her newfound powers though we’re not exactly sure how she ended up being able to Hulk out when confronted with fear or anger. Being shown the big green ropes by none other than Smart Hulk himself, Walters seems to be coming to grips with the fact that she might have to reluctantly take on the role of being a superhero a...

HipHopWired Featured Video CLOSE Source: NBC / Getty The 2022 Billboard Music Awards went down in Las Vegas, and the award’s show executive producer, and host, Diddy, promised fun vibes, and thanks to some of the performances, he was right. Love as he goes by now in these streets kicked off the annual awards show with a performance of a new song called “Gotta Move On,” featuring Bryson Tiller, marking the first time we have seen the Trapsoul creator on a stage in a minute.

NBA Twitter Declares The Ben Simmons & James Harden Trade An Absolute Bust
HipHopWired Featured Video CLOSE Source: Tim Nwachukwu / Getty The Ben Simmons and James Harden trade is looking like it didn’t benefit either the Brooklyn Nets or Philadelphia 76ers. After the Philadelphia 76ers got bounced out of the playoffs by Jimmy Butler, and the Miami Heat Thursday night (May.12), NBA Twitter ultimately decided that the trade between the Nets and Sixers didn’t benefit either franchise. Harden, who has been a shell of his former self since he was dealt from the Houston Rockets to the Nets, kept his playoff legacy of disappearing during the postseason going. With a hobbled Joel Embiid trying his best to help Philly force a Game 7, Harden decided to check out in the second half of the game, only taking TWO shots. Yes, you read that correctly, just TWO shots. Stephen A....
‘Atlanta’ “Rich Wigga, Poor Wigga” Episode Brilliantly Tackles How Blackness Is Judged
HipHopWired Featured Video CLOSE Source: Guy D’Alema / Atlanta FX Atlanta sticks with its theme of airing episodes that don’t feature the show’s four main characters. Season three’s ninth episode, “Rich Wigga, Poor Wigga,” brilliantly tackles what it means to be Black and how Blackness is judged. SPOILERS AHEAD The episode, which immediately gives off Twilight Zone due to its black and white vibes, follows Aaron (Tyriq Wethers), a biracial teenager who, at first, you wouldn’t think it has an ounce of melanin in him based on his reaction to Black kids he is playing video games with online. It also hits you like a punch to the gut when we meet Aaron’s Black father, who is trying to raise a young teen, clearly influenced by his white friends with Black parental skills. Aaron’s struggle ...
HHW Gaming: ‘Street Fighter’ Fans React To The News Fei Long Allegedly Being Removed From Future Games
HipHopWired Featured Video CLOSE Source: Capcom / Ultra Street Fighter IV Is Fei Long’s run in Street Fighter coming to an end? That might be the unfortunate case. Fei Long, a character that obviously gets his inspiration from the iconic martial arts movie star Bruce Lee, quickly became a favorite among fighting game fans when he was first introduced in Super Street Fighter II. Nintendo Life reports that Fei Long’s time as a playable character in the Street Fighter game has ended. Like Bruce Lee, Fei Long was a martial artist and action star and was Capcom’s tribute to the late actor, but apparently, the Lee family has done a 360 when it comes to seeing non-serious depictions of Bruce Lee. Street Fighter V composer Daniel Lindholm revealed during a YouTube Q&A that “comedic interpretat...
HHW Gaming: Sorry PS4 & Xbox One Owners, You Need A PS5 or Xbox Series X To Play ‘Gotham Knights’
HipHopWired Featured Video CLOSE Source: WB Games / Gotham Knights It looks like video game studios are slowly transitioning away from the PS4 and Xbox One, and we think that is a good idea. Gotham Knights will be the next big video game that only next-generation console owners will be able to enjoy. Tuesday (May.10), Warner Bros. Interactive unveiled a new gameplay demo of its highly anticipated game Gotham Knights, which also came with some disheartening news. The studio announced the game would no longer be coming to last-generation systems. That is a complete 360 from original news when Gotham Knights was first announced in 2020 when Warner Bros. Interactive said the game would be coming to the PS4 and Xbox One. [embedded content] As for the reasoning for the decision, the studio said ...
Fans Urge Chloe Bailey Not To Go “Full Monica” After Gunna & Young Thug Were Arrested On RICO Charges
HipHopWired Featured Video CLOSE Source: Theo Wargo / Getty Somehow, someway, social media has found a way to include Chloe Bailey in Young Thug and his YSL crew’s legal drama. For those who don’t know, Atlanta rapper Young Thug was among 28 individuals rounded up by law enforcement and slapped with RICO (Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act) conspiracy charges. Also among the group was Thugger’s artist, Gunna, who was rumored to be dating Chloe Bailey, a claim that she has flat out denied. Regardless, Black Twitter, who has a unique skill in finding comedy in the direst of situations, decided to throw Chloe Bailey’s name in the mess anyway. Twitter users are hilariously warning her not to go full Monica, a nod to the “So Gone” singer still being down for the currently incarc...
‘Black Ink Crew’ Recap: Battle of The Tattoo Titans Contest Goes Down, Twitter Feels This Artist Was Robbed
HipHopWired Featured Video CLOSE Source: Marcus Ingram / Getty Last week on Black Ink Crew, Ceaser united the Black Ink crews, and Tatti avoided major jail time. Now it’s time for the Battle of The Tattoo Titans in a drama-less season finale. The Ladies Came To Represent, Spyder Flops The three bosses, Ryan Henry, Ceaser, and KP, break down the competition rules for their tattoo artists and explain the first round will have the artists doing butterfly tattoos. Spyder, of course, runs his big mouth, but when it was all said and done flops claiming he couldn’t do a better tattoo because he couldn’t do colors on dark skin. Ceaser is wildly annoyed with his lead tattoo artist because they all just sat down with a Black tattoo artist specializing in doing color tattoos on Black skin, so h...
Sean “Diddy” Combs & DeLeón Tequila Cook Up #CincoDeLeón Cinco De Mayo Cocktails
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: DeLeón / DeLeón Tequila There is still plenty of Cinco De Mayo left. Sean “Diddy” Combs and DeLeón Tequila have cooked up a cocktail fit for any proper #CincoDeLeón celebration. DeLeón Tequila recruited entrepreneur, actress and Certified Life Coach Nazanin Mandi to celebrate the holiday. It helps that she happens to be proudly part Mexican, too. Combs, DeLeón Tequila and Mandi created a sweet and spicy version of DeLeón’s Tequila’s LOVE Margarita. Considering Combs’ middle name is now officially “Love,” it’s totally on brand. But first, for those of you into the details, DeLeón Tequila, which is owned by Combs and Diageo, is crafted in the Guanajuato region of Mexico in the town of León. The brand touts using strictly the best hand-selected 100% B...
‘Black Ink Crew’ Recap: Ceaser Unites The Crews, Announces Black Ink Tattoo Battle
HipHopWired Featured Video CLOSE Source: Marcus Ingram / Getty Last week on Black Ink Crew, Ceaser heads to Milwaukee with Teddy to open his new shop and fired the entire Atlanta shop crew except for Breezy. Tatti also avoided being thrown in jail for a long time. This week’s episode of Black Ink Crew was relatively drama-free, with Ceaser uniting the crews of Chicago and Compton for a good cause. Rok & Krystal FINALLY Head To Atlanta Last week Rok and Krystal’s road trip to Atlanta hit a speedbump because their new dog attacked Krystal six hours into the trip, forcing them to turn around and head back to New York City. Anyway, the story didn’t make any sense, and even after FaceTiming Puma and the crew on this week’s episode, the story still sounds shaky. Rok tells Puma th...
A Run Down of Who Did & Didn’t Understand The Assignment At This Year’s Met Gala
The Met Gala made its triumphant return in 2021 and is back in 2022 to give fashionistas and people on social media something to talk and joke about, thanks in large part to some of the fits celebrities think they got off. As with previous years of the $35,000 a ticket celebrity spin on Halloween, your favorite actors, musicians, athletes, models, and fashion designers tried their best to stick with the soiree’s theme. This year’s theme, “In America: An Anthology of Fashion,” is a follow-up to 2021’s “In America: A Lexicon in Fashion” theme, but this time focus was on America’s “Gilded Age.” The dress code for Monday night’s (Apr.2) spectacle was “gilded glamour, white tie,” which honestly doesn’t sound too hard to stick with, but you know these celebs like to make things difficult when it...

The “Nosetalgia” rapper has been at the forefront of buzz in the rap game since the release of his latest album, It’s Almost Dry last week. The album, produced entirely by both Pharrell Williams and Ye aka Kanye West, debuted on the Billboard 200 Chart at number one on Sunday (May 1st). Gaining that top spot on the chart is a first for the multi-platinum rapper, and he expressed his happiness and gratitude via Twitter soon after: “We all can’t be number 1 at the same time, this week it’s mine…Thank you to all.” Related Stories It’s Almost Dry also took the top spots on B...
