HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Marc Piasecki / Getty Kanye West just can’t let that hurt go. In a newly released song called “City Of God,” featuring Fivio Foreign and Alicia Keys, Ye aims some bars at his ex Kim Kardashian and her current boyfriend Pete Davidson. The verse isn’t all about the aforementioned, but he makes sure to mention them. “They act like they love you, they don’t even like you. They throw a party, won’t even invite you, I seen the same thing happen to Michael, you Black and you rich they say that you psycho,” spits Yeezy. He’s clearly referencing the time not too long ago when he took to social media to put Kardashian on blast for not inviting him to his daughter Chicago’s birthday party.

Allen Iverson Got Emotional Signing A Picture Of Himself & Kobe Bryant
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: JEFF HAYNES / Getty We’ve just passed the second anniversary of the tragic passing of NBA icon/legend, Kobe Bryant and while the thought of him not being here still hurts millions of his fans, Allen Iverson also seems to get all the feelings when memories of Kobe are brought up. TMZ is reporting that recently “The Answer” got lowkey emotional when a fan presented him with a picture of AI and Kobe Bryant standing side-by-side at a signing event last weekend. Seemingly surprised that the picture even existed, Allen paused to say “Daaamn! Whose is this? This is yours? After the fan said it was indeed his, Allen bluntly asked “Man, you going to give me one? You got another one for me? Man, I need one of these!” The fan said he had a few in the stash and would...
Rapper Leikeli47 Photographed By Hedi Slimane For Celine
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Michael Kovac / Getty Hedi Slimane must be a Hip-Hop head, with good taste. The renowned fashion designer has photographed Brooklyn rapper Leikeli47 for a series of portraits for Celine. If you’re unfamiliar, Leikeli47, born Hasben Jones, is known for covering her face up with a mask when she performs, but moreso for the sharp bars. She recently dropped a new single called “Chitty Bang,” which was featured on EA Sports’ Madden 22 and an Apple iPhone commercial while her last proper album was 2018’s Acrylic. So props to Hedi Slimane aka the Creative Director of luxury fashion brand Celine, for featuring Leikeli in his latest set of portraits, outfitted in some mean Celine fits, too. Leikeli is seen rocking a Celine bandana scarf, naturally, as well as a tr...

Kanye West Says ‘DONDA 2’ Drops In February, Allegedly
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: @kanyewest / Instagram Kanye West has been a busy man of late. Along with the media attention-grabbing behavior including his takes on co-parenting and styling his rebound, Ye has been working on DONDA 2, and says it will be out in February. The “Power” rapper took to Instagram to make the announcement. Per Ye, the album will be out on February 2, 2022, and is also being executive produced by star Atlanta rapper Future. This is where we point out that Ye’s career is marked with a bunch of sequel albums that never actually came to fruition including Yeezus 2, Turbo Grafx 16 and Watch the Throne 2. This rather tight timeline also makes you wonder if Ye is going to throw any elaborate listening parties like he did for DONDA. Nevertheless, it wasn’t stopped h...
