Latto Trends After 130 Songs Leaked, Barbz Stir Up The Mess
HipHopWired Featured Video CLOSE Latto is still riding the wave of her massive hit “Big Energy” and a slew of nominations including winning Song Of The Year honors at this year’s BET Awards for the track. However, the Clayton County, Ga. native is currently trending on Twitter for reasons opposite of her accolades after 130 songs from Latto were leaked and reportedly featured reference tracks from ghostwriters. Latto, 23, engaged in a bitter public feud with Nicki Minaj, which spilled over into the veteran Queens rapper alleging that her younger counterpart employs a team of ghostwriters. To her credit, the former Mulatto fessed up to using writers yet stood her ground virtually against Minaj and the legion of Barbz who launched an all-out digital assault on behalf of the Pink Friday star....
August Alsina Appears To Introduce Boyfriend To The World, Twitter Chimes In
HipHopWired Featured Video CLOSE August Alsina has largely kept a low profile after the “entanglement” that was revealed between him and Jada Pinkett Smith, but he’s back in the news in a major way. During the closing segment of VH1’s The Surreal Life, the R&B singer seemingly comes out as gay and introduced a man who allegedly is his boyfriend.

Moments after Alsina gushed about his newfound love, fans on Twitter were stunned to see that a man came and sat next to him while wrapping the man in a huge bear hug.

Bhad Bahbie Blasted For Blackfishing, Blonde Bozo Barks Back
HipHopWired Featured Video CLOSE Bhad Bahbie, one of the elite cultural appropriators of our time, once more showed her alabaster behind after posting some images of her looking like a Black woman despite being of Jewish and Italian descent. The alleged rapper and OnlyFans star tried to clap back on critics but we’re failing to see how it all lines up. Bhad Bahbie, 19, shared a video on her Instagram page showing off a new look that certainly had us confused by who we were looking at. At a glance, Bahbie doesn’t look like the loud-mouthed white teen we first met via Dr. Phil. In the clip, showing off long blond tresses, Bahbie’s skin is decidedly brown in a way that cannot be achieved in a tanning booth but certainly via makeup. Her response to the critique of the video was captured ...

Streets Say Young M.A Is Pregnant, Twitter Doesn’t Mind Its Business Per Usual
HipHopWired Featured Video CLOSE Source: Prince Williams / Getty The streets are saying that Young M.A is with child and as one can imagine, the reaction to the unconfirmed news has been over the top. We’ve seen some of the zanier and frankly offensive comments coming from the Twitter side of things and, unfortunately, we have to share our views on it all. Young M.A, 30, made waves in the Hip-Hop industry with her brazen lyrical ability and propensity to speak vividly about her sexual orientation on terms that befit her. While she isn’t the only out rapper from the LGBTQ community, Young M.A is certainly one of the more notable artists in that space. On Tuesday (Nov. 1), fans on Twitter began spreading the news that the Brooklyn rapper was pregnant and naturally, the jokes came flying in. ...
