44-Year-Old Kanye West Is Big Mad Kid Cudi Is Friends With Pete Davidson
HipHopWired Featured Video CLOSE Source: Johnny Nunez / Getty On Saturday (Feb. 12), Kanye West found it necessary to tell the world that longtime collaborator Kid Cudi would not be appearing on DONDA 2. Apparently, the reason for Cudder’s exile is his friendship with SNL‘s Pete Davidson, aka Ye’s ex-wife’s new boyfriend. Yeezy took to IG to make the announcement because that was the most immature thing to do. “Just so everyone knows Cudi will not be on DONDA because he’s friends with you know who,” posted West, with most everyone figuring it was the Davidson connection that drew his ire. However, Ye deleted his message pretty much as soon Cudi responded in kind, by calling him a dinosaur, saying he’s been the best thing on his albums and relaying that he’ll be praying for him. Can you rea...
Azealia Banks Calls Ye AKA Kanye West “Abusive Psychopath” Over North West Social Media Dig
HipHopWired Featured Video CLOSE Source: Frazer Harrison / Getty Azealia Banks has never been one to mince her words, and her latest missive proves that her gift of gab isn’t solely nestled in her formidable rapping ability. The New York rapper took swipes at Ye aka Kanye West after the Chicago superstar went after Kim Kardashian and their daughter, North West, prompting Banks to label Ye an “abusive psychopath.” This past weekend, Banks took to Instagram and shared a fiery message for Ye via her Stories feed. In the post, Banks aims her anger towards Ye over him admonishing Kardashian and their 8-year-old daughter North over the child owning a social media account. “This is the second time he has publicly bullied North West. First with the abortion sh*t, and now putting her on blast on hi...
Freddie Gibbs Calls Gunna A Snitch During Back-And-Forth Twitter Spat
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Jim Bennett / Getty Am I getting old or are rap beefs getting really weird? Clearly, the answer is…yes. On Wednesday, Atlanta rapper Gunna took to Twitter to promote his new album Drip Season 4, according to XXL, and to (I guess?) take a shot at Gary, Indiana, MC Freddie Gibbs. “When my album drop Freddie Gibbs will [have] the biggest moment of his career,” Gunna tweeted. No one seems to be clear on what Gunna was trying to say about Gibbs, but Gibbs did respond…at length. At one point, I wasn’t sure if Gunna and Gibbs were beefing or having a bromance moment. But then Gibbs brought out the big Twitter finger guns and accused Gunna of making an appearance on Crime Stoppers, an act Gibbs had previously said would make anyone an entire snitch. Gibbs then po...

T-Boz Slammed For Allegedly Nudging Nicki Minaj & Cardi B Beef, TLC Member Says She Was Hacked
HipHopWired Featured Video CLOSE Source: Scott Legato / Getty TLC member Tionne “T-Boz” Watkins caught the wrath of Twitter after seemingly egging on a potential beef between Nicki Minaj and Cardi B. Twitter took note of the alleged jab and did their best to drag T-Boz back to the 1990s. The Jasmine Brand shared a video of Cardi B and Offset heading into club E11EVEN in Miami, Fla., with someone using T-Boz’s account to reply “Poor Nicki Minaj” in the comments. The slander towards T-Boz was swift and expected, prompting the singer to fire back her own comments stating that she was hacked. “MY ACCOUNT WAS HACKED IM ON A ZOOM CALL/MEETING SO I DONT KNOW WHAT WAS SAID OR WHATS HAPPENING YET BUT I SAID NOTHING ABOUT @nickiminaj AT ALL,” T-Boz wrote. She also added a longer statement and shared...

Los Angeles Lakers Face Chemistry Questions After Dustup Between Anthony Davis & Dwight Howard
HipHopWired Featured Video CLOSE Source: Kevork Djansezian / Getty The Los Angeles Lakers opened up the 2021-22 NBA season as favorites to potentially win it all in the west after trading for Russell Westbrook and adding some other key pieces from teams past. However, the new-look Lake Show might have to talk some things out behind closed doors after big men Anthony Davis and Dwight Howard got into it on the bench. The Lakers are just two seasons out of winning the NBA championship and any team with LeBron James is a shoo-in to be a contender for the title. However, the young NBA season has proven already that what looks good on paper might not be good in reality. It should also be noted that the Lakers’ bench is a bit depleted as Talen Horton-Tucker, Kendrick Nunn, Wayne Ellington, and Tr...
