HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Ed Rode / Getty A Teen Vogue staffer who opposed the hiring of former editor-in-chief Alexi McCammond, was discovered to have tweeted the n-word three times over 10 years ago. According to Newsweek, Christine Davitt, who works as a senior social media manager for Teen Vogue called a white friend the n-word in two posts on Twitter in 2009, reports Fox News. “I love the contradictory nature of the phrase ‘white n—a,” she wrote in a third post written in 2010. Davitt identifies as having white and Filipino ancestry. Funny how people like @christinedavitt forget the language they’ve used in the past but don’t mind chastising others for doing so. pic.twitter.com/79phxDSpcz — Crystal&Rob Janosek (@crystal_janosek) March 21, 2021 Alexi McCammond, who was sla...

Detangled: DJ Akademiks Claims Complex Fired Him; Drops New Freestyle [Video]
Source: Earl Gibson III / Getty Hip-Hop’s most hated media personality has apparently been shown the door. DJ Akademiks is saying he has been fired from his talk show. The last couple of weeks have been filled more downs than ups for the Jamaica-American. It started out with his criticism of Freddie Gibbs that lead to a very snarky back and forth with the Gary, Ind. rapper.

Somehow that set the stage to him to dropping some very harsh bombs on Chrissy Teigen and John Legend. Last week it was reported AK was suspended from Complex for his actions. As spotted on Hot New Hip Hop it seems he has been terminated from his position on Everyday Struggle. On Sunday (July 12), Ak shared a post via so...
