Kanye West Says Universal Released ‘Donda’ Without His Approval, DaBaby’s Presidential Support Got Him Spot
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: MEGA / Getty Kanye West finally released his latest album, Donda, on Sunday (August 29), but it hasn’t been drama-free. According to Ye, the project was released by Universal, the home of his Def Jam recording home, without his permission. Yeezy took to Instagram—where else?—to reveal the conundrum. “UNIVERSAL PUT MY ALBUM OUT WITHOUT MY APPROVAL AND THE BLOCKED JAIL 2 FROM BEING ON THE ALBUM,” wrote Ye in all caps, so you know he’s peeved. “Jail” is the track with Jay-Z and Francis and the Lights while “Jail Pt. 2” features the same beat with the lineup additions of DaBaby and Marilyn Manson. West also shared, and deleted, texts between him and his A&R/manager, Bu Thiam, that it was DaBaby’s management who wasn’t clearing his verse on “Jail Pt. 2.” H...
DaBaby “Whole Lotta Money,” Lil Yachty ft. DC2Trill “Lord Of The Beans” & More | Daily Visuals 8.24.21
HipHopWired Featured Video It’s been a turbulent few weeks for DaBaby. Once the sweetheart of the Hip-Hop game, the North Carolina rapper rubbed many the wrong way by beefing with Megan Thee Stallion, partnering up with her alleged shooter, Tory Lanez, and ultimately making some homophobic comments at his show. Still, looking to take it all in stride, DaBaby continues to live his life as if it’ll blow over (it probably won’t) and in his latest visuals to “Whole Lotta Money” showcases himself dancing, balling and poking fun at his “Cancelled” status by wiping away crocodile tears. Yeah, he’s not really helping his situation. Elsewhere Lil Yachty is living his best life in his own way and in his clip to the DC2Trill assisted “Lord Of The Beans” records himself getting a new tattoo in the stu...

HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Bernard Smalls / @PhotosByBeanz83 Tory Lanez’s Rolling Loud Miami appearance has come back to bite the miniature rapper in the a**. TMZ has learned that after being used as a prop by DaBaby to troll Megan Thee Stallion, a judge has barred Tory Lanez from attending any events that Megan Thee Stallion is at. The varmint will also have to fork over more bail money after prosecutors successfully argued that the Canadian musician violated a court order to stay away from Thee Stallion. Per TMZ: Lanez was in an L.A. court Monday to learn his fate, and he’s gonna have to post a higher bail amount to stay out of jail while his criminal case is pending. The reason — he violated a protective order requiring him to stay clear of Megan. The judge also modified his bai...
Lil Nas X Addresses Concerns For His Safety In Interview
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Bernard Smalls / @PhotosByBeanz For Lil Nas X, being unapologetic about being a highly visible rapper who’s gay is the banner of truth he walks with. But that doesn’t mean that he’s unaware about how much that makes him a target for hateful behavior and worse. The “Old Town Road” rapper was recently the main cover star for Variety’s Power of Young Hollywood issue. As part of that feature, he sat down for an interview. When asked for his take on the homophobic comments that DaBaby made during his set at Rolling Loud in Miami a couple of weeks ago along with his thoughts about HIV and AIDS in the LGBTQ+ community, Lil Nas X declined to make a comment directly about that situation. “The honest truth is, I don’t want to speak on a lot of the homophobia within...

DaBaby Deletes Instagram Apology For Homophobic Rant
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Jason Koerner / Getty DaBaby found himself the target of rampant criticism after unleashing an ill-advised homophobic rant at the recent Rolling Loud Miami concert, which has led to a number of the rapper’s opportunities getting eliminated. After delivering what appeared to be a sincere apology for the rant and for doubling down on those stances, the North Carolina rapper has deleted the apology that was posted via his Instagram page. Just under a week ago, the rapper born Jonathan Kirk offered an apology to his fans via his Instagram page that seemingly signaled that he was back on the right track. However, fans who went to DaBaby’s Instagram page Sunday (August 8) were shocked to see that the poster no longer existed. It isn’t publicly known why DaBaby ...
Megan Thee Stallion Sounds Off Against Homophobia In Hip-Hop Says ‘Representation Is Important’
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Bernard Smalls / @PhotosByBeanz83 Despite being more accepting, Hip-Hop still has a homophobia problem. That has been clear thanks to DaBaby’s homophobic Rolling Loud Miami moment and the knee-jerk reactions to Lil Nas X’s brilliant visual for his latest single, “Industry Baby.” The Houston rapper spoke with People Magazine about what she feels is Hip-Hop’s reckoning with homophobia and feels it was a long time coming. “It is about time,” Thee Stallion said. “Representation is important, and it is really crucial for us all to have compassion and acceptance of every human.” The “Big Ole Freak” crafter herself was the subject of some criticism when someone decided to dig up an old tweet from 2019 where she used a gay slur to address a hater. “This lil f****...

DaBaby Reportedly DaDropped The Ball on Delivering Apologies To Festivals
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Radio One Digital / @Stretchd_34 for Radio One Digital It’s been a bad week for DaBaby, who’s now been dropped from a few music festivals including last weekend’s Lollapalooza festival in Chicago, Illinois. And the word is that once again, he did it to himself. The North Carolina rapper found himself in the midst of heavy backlash after viral video emerged of him making a homophobic rant during his set at the Rolling Loud festival in Miami on July 25th. After notable musicians such as Questlove and Sir Elton John took him to task, he made a lackluster apology via social media. After that faltered, representatives for DaBaby reached out to seven music festivals that he was scheduled to appear at on July 28th. They assured the promoters at each festival, wi...
