HipHopWired Featured Video Source: James Devaney / Getty Are Jay-Z and Beyoncé victims of arson? According to TMZ authorities suspect that the Carters’ home in New Orleans was purposely set ablaze a la 50 Cent’s baby mama’s house this past Wednesday night (July 21).

The 20 Best Rock Songs by Pop Stars
Olivia Rodrigo may be a teenage pop star who works for Disney and first scaled the Hot 100 with a piano-driven ballad, but her second No. 1 of 2021, “Good 4 U,” is a surprisingly feisty pop-punk song. And Sour’s even harder-rocking opener “Brutal” is currently ascending Billboard’s Alternative Airplay chart. Rock music has been deeply intertwined with American pop ever since early rockers like Little Richard and Bill Haley started scaling the charts. But since the ‘80s, Top 40 radio has largely favored sleeker tracks with synthesizers, drum machines, and influences from genres like dance music, R&B, and hip-hop, with only occasional bursts of electric guitar and live drums. Plenty of rockers have become pop stars, from Pat Benatar to Bruce Springsteen, but there are also pop stars who ...

HipHopWired Featured Video Source: James Devaney / Getty When it comes to Beyoncé, there are tons of speculations and wild theories about the enigmatic superstar.

The Carters stepped out and showed up to Brooklyn to watch the Nets minus James Harden put a game 1 beatdown on the Milwaukee Bucks. While doing their courtside routine, JAY-Z could be seen affectionately caressing his beautiful wife’s leg while watching Kevin Durant, Kyrie Irving, and the rest of the Nets squad get buckets. Some fans began to speculate that Hov rubs on Yonce’s leg to help her get through a tough time because she allegedly has anxiety. Beyonce’s mama, Tina Knowles-...
Did Jay-Z & Beyoncé Commission The World’s Most Expensive Car?

So it only makes sense that the couple is rumored to have commissioned what is thought to be the world’s most expensive car. According to Page Six, the Carter’s are responsible for the Boat Tail convertible that Rolls-Royce announced this week and that is hand-built and created by special order.
