HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Johnny Nunez / Getty While some people might’ve forgotten that Common and Tiffany Haddish were an item a minute back, Common’s recent comments about their breakup reminded everyone about their previous relationship and they seemed to have rubbed Haddish the wrong way. In a recent interview with Jason Lee on Fox Soul’s Hollywood Unlocked, the Night School actress said she was “disappointed” in Common saying that their breakup was a “mutual” decision and that the reason behind it was that he felt that they didn’t want to be in a relationship where they’d “be one foot in, one foot out.” After Lee asked her why he dates famous women, Haddish simply said “He might be the type of person that never really settles with somebody; maybe he’s like, you know, like a ...
Most celebrity interviews I’ve conducted usually included the runaround from publicists of their client’s ultra-small window of availability. When it came to interviewing Common, he quickly was on board to speak with me, but then the scheduling conflicts arose. For weeks, I went back and forth with his publicist over scheduling a telephonic, and every time we had a date on the calendar she emailed saying, and very apologetically, that Common needed to reschedule. He wasn’t giving me the cold shoulder. He didn’t decide to hop on a private jet to throw himself a birthday party on a private island during a pandemic. Common was doing good. He was traveling the country campaigning for Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, and perhaps more importantly, talking with people to get out the vote. The week be...
Source: Shareif Ziyadat / Getty As the world continues to wait on pins and needles over the 2020 election humor is in high demand right now. One reality television star got some comedic relief from a misfired tweet. As spotted on Hot New Hip Hop a meme with good intentions didn’t connect as intended but went viral as a funny fail. An account @Vesta shared a photo collage that featured Joe Budden one side and a pile of pennies on the other side. The quote was “a lot of y’all are lacking” inferring that folks need some common sense. Given that the photo should have been rapper Common, who says he and Tiffany Haddish are still a thing, the miss quickly turned the meme into a whole different meme. So much so that it landed on Cyn Santana’s radar. The “Walk With Me” rapper’s former love qu...
Source: Johnny Nunez / Getty You know a relationship is done-done when couples unfollow each other on social media. By that measure, it’s a good assumption that Tiffany Haddish and Common had a little lover’s quarrel. Fans tracking the duo’s social media noticed they stopped following each other on Instagram. Eventually, suspicions of her relationship status caught like wildfire after Haddish sent a scathing warning to her exes. “THIS IS FOR MOST OF MY EXS [sic]. BITS AND PIECES ARE FOR DIFFERENT ONES,” she wrote in an Instagram Story. “I am sick of my ex F–k Boys and yes YOU still a F–k boy even if we was in a relationship cause you still was trying to f–k when it was over. Boy. Stop reaching out to me trying to be my friend, I don’t want to be your fri...
Source: Prince Williams / Getty Jaguar Wright is known for her amazing voice, but as of late, her notoriety has come from the bubbling hot tea that she has spilling on major players in the game. While many have remained silent publicly, it seems that Jill Scott has joined Erykah Badu with a seemingly indirect response to Wright and her claims. As previously reported, Jaguar Wright previously called out her former crew The Roots over alleged ill-treatment of Malik B, prior to his passing, among other things. The Philadelphia-bred singer also came at Common, who she claimed sexually assaulted her while they were in a relationship, before apologizing to Tiffany Haddish for the accusation. While The Roots were the initial target, the “Let Me Be the One” singer also set her crosshairs on Soulqu...
The year 2000 looms large in pop culture history: the Y2k non-scare, the Seinfeld “Newmannium” episode, the “In the Year 2000″ sketch from Conan O’Brien’s original late-night show, the Hulu series PEN15. And just like, say, the grunge-defined 1991, the year immediately conjures specific sounds: gleaming teen-pop, earnest radio rock, the Neptunes and Timbaland. There’s never a bad time to revisit this music. But in the middle of a pandemic, with America on the verge of collapse, it feels extra comforting — a blast of nostalgia for a time when you could safely exit your home, visit your local mall’s Sam Goody and buy Mystikal’s “Shake Ya Ass” CD single. For this list, our only criteria was that the songs appear on albums or soundtracks released in 2000. Here we go. 50. Papa Roach, “Last Reso...
Source: WENN.com / WENN Well, this is an odd twist. Jaguar Wright posted an Instagram video apologizing to Tiffany Haddish a month after accusing her boyfriend, Common, of sexual assault back when the musicians allegedly dated two decades ago. In the one-minute video clip, Wright professed her respect for the comedian and addressed the possible friction the accusation may have caused in Haddish’s relationship with the rapper while doubling down on her original story that sparked the controversy over the summer. “There’s one person that I have not addressed directly,” Wright states in the video. “And the truth is because I have a lot of respect for her. I think that she is a wonderful comedian. I think she’s a great philanthropist. I just got off of her page an...
