Azealia Banks Flames Up Kanye West’s Ex Julia Fox, Twitter Is Astonished
HipHopWired Featured Video CLOSE Source: Rachpoot/Bauer-Griffin / Getty Azealia Banks is known more for her razor-sharp tongue and wit more than music these days and when she decides to use her powers for destruction, it typically causes fireworks online. The latest missive from the talented Bronx rapper occurred when she shared a text message exchange and fight between her and Ye aka Kanye West‘s ex Julia Fox, which has Twitter talking. From what we can determine, it appears that Fox, 32 was running around saying Banks, 30, was a “junkie” after sharing a text message exchange between the pair when they were friendly. In the exchange, it looks like Banks was asking Fox if she knew anyone who sold a particular type of drug and promised she’d look around. For some reason, things went left wh...
Twitter Clowned VERZUZ After Pay Subscription Model Introduced, Swizz Beatz Walked It Back
HipHopWired Featured Video CLOSE Source: Johnny Nunez / Getty VERZUZ began as a welcome reprieve from the daily doldrums the entire world suffered as a result of the ongoing pandemic, offering a blip of hope during the height of those tough times. Now a mainstream concept, VERZUZ is positioning itself as a viable performance platform and introduced a subscription model that Twitter balked at before Swizz Beatz walked it back. Twitter user @CallMeDollar was among the many who took notice of VERZUZ pivoting to a pay model, introducing the concept ahead of tonight’s (Feb. 15) battle between Anthony Hamilton and Musiq Soulchild. The team introduced a #TrillerVerzPass and a 14-day trial run of said pass for the show, adding that it will not be running on its familiar platform of Instagram Live....
Pepsi Super Bowl LVI Halftime Show Sparks Silly Generation War On Twitter #PepsiHalftime
HipHopWired Featured Video CLOSE Source: Kevin Mazur / Getty The Pepsi Super Bowl LVI Halftime Show was announced last year and it was largely accepted as a suitable blend of some of music’s biggest acts. Now that the big show has concluded, folks on Twitter are attempting to figure out if the set catered more to Generation X or Millenials instead of simply praising the moment for the greatness it was. Super Bowl Sunday (Feb. 13) gave the fans in attendance and at home one of the more competitive NFL championship moments in quite some time with the Los Angeles Rams defeated the Cincinnati Bengals with the final score of 23-20. Those who didn’t have much stock invested in the game itself certainly tuned in for the halftime set, which featured Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, Eminem, Mary J. Blige, and ...
Method Man Calls Out Bozo Who Photoshopped His Beard Away
HipHopWired Featured Video CLOSE Source: Leon Bennett / Getty Method Man emerged as a reluctant sex symbol early in his recording career but now he appears to be leaning into his dashing good looks to great effect. However, some Internet dweeb felt a way about M-E-T-H-O-D Man getting love from his adoring fans and photoshopped an image of his which prompted the Wu-Tang Clan star to call the person out. Method Man, birth name Clifford Smith, has aged gracefully as anyone of his era and has parlayed his natural presence as a performer into the world of acting via his star-making turn as lawyer Davis MacLean in Power Book II: Ghost. Even before this role, Meth was always thought of as a strikingly handsome man who just happened to be one of the world’s best lyricists. With that much attention...

HipHopWired Featured Video CLOSE Source: Paras Griffin / Getty Jazmine Sullivan had an amazing 2021 with her last project Heaux Tales enjoying well-deserved praise and Grammy Awards nominations to boot. On Friday (Feb. 11), the Philadelphia songstress delivered the deluxe edition of the release titled Heaux Tales, Mo’Tales: The Deluxe, and Twitter is especially fond of the “Issa’s Tale” interlude. Featuring the all-star talent that is Issa Rae, “Issa’s Tale” follows the format of interludes from the previous release with the subject sharing their own personal “heaux tales” experience. We won’t spoil it, but Rae’s description of a final encounter with an ex-boyfriend shipping off to foreign lands ends on a pretty humorous note. To that end, fans on Twitter have zeroed in on this particular ...

HipHopWired Featured Video CLOSE Source: Johnny Nunez / Getty Gunna continues to ride high on the heels of the successful debut week of his latest album DS4Ever, along with rumors of a romantic connection with Chloe Bailey. It appears the pair are allegedly making things official after images of the pair displaying public affection for one another made their rounds online. Gunna and Chloe Bailey were snapped by the paps while out and about in Hollywood getting in some shopping in the ritzy Sunset Plaza. The two looked cozy in the images that made it to the outlets, even holding hands in one close-up shot.

HipHopWired Featured Video CLOSE Source: Stephen J. Cohen / Getty Death Row Records remains one of the most iconic names in Hip-Hop history, and it appears one of its former stalwart stars is now in a new position of ownership of the famed label. Snoop Dogg, who got his start as a professional record artist with the outfit, purchased the label, and fans on Twitter are saluting the Doggfather.

Gutter Ball: DaBaby & Crew Jumped DaniLeigh’s Brother At Bowling Alley, Allegedly
HipHopWired Featured Video CLOSE Source: Denise Truscello / Getty DaBaby and DaniLeigh‘s brother, Brandon Bills, were destined to lock horns eventually after the pair exchanged words late last year. The Charlotte, N.C. rapper apparently caught up with Bills and his crew, and allegedly jumped the man inside a bowling alley, but it doesn’t look like the fade was properly delivered despite the lopsided numbers. DaBaby, who shares a young child with DaniLeigh, received the threat of a fade from Bills last year after the rapper allegedly kicked her and their child out of his home due to having some manner of argument. After DaniLeigh left the residence and returned to the West Coast, Bills took to Instagram to offer a one-on-one fade to DaBaby for the treatment of his sister in a since-deleted ...
Nelly Apologizes For Mouf Love Leak, Twitter Says He Came Up Short Twice
HipHopWired Featured Video CLOSE Source: Jason Kempin / Getty Nelly has been the talk of the Internet for the past 36 hours after a sex tape went wide through social media circles and made the famed rapper a trending topic. In a new statement, the St. Louis star apologized for the video being inadvertently leaked, but fans on Twitter think that the apology came up a little short. TMZ reports that Nelly confirmed that the video was an accidental leak not meant to go wide to the public and extended his words towards the unnamed woman in the video with him performing the act. “I sincerely apologize to the young lady and her family, this is unwanted publicity for her/them. This was an old video that was private and never meant to go public,” Nelly said to TMZ exclusively. The outlet inquired a...
Meat Market: Nelly & Lil Fizz Have Videos Of Their Junks Leaked, Twitter Says They’re Coming Up Short
HipHopWired Featured Video CLOSE Source: Paras Griffin / Getty If there’s one thing the world can count on, it’s the fact that a nude video of an entertainer will get leaked to the World Wide Web somehow. The latest to have their wares go public are Nelly and Lil Fizz, but Twitter says the two gents are coming up a little short. The news is moving fast but from what the sleuths online determine, Nelly allegedly posted a video of him getting his microphone checked to his Instagram Stories feed, not unlike Hitman Holla did with the Close Friends video that leaked. While the famed battle rapper’s video was met with largely favorable remarks, his St. Louis counterpart caught some vicious slander over the size of the situation at hand. Not to be outdone, a video of Lil Fizz having a little alon...
Azealia Banks Calls Ye AKA Kanye West “Abusive Psychopath” Over North West Social Media Dig
HipHopWired Featured Video CLOSE Source: Frazer Harrison / Getty Azealia Banks has never been one to mince her words, and her latest missive proves that her gift of gab isn’t solely nestled in her formidable rapping ability. The New York rapper took swipes at Ye aka Kanye West after the Chicago superstar went after Kim Kardashian and their daughter, North West, prompting Banks to label Ye an “abusive psychopath.” This past weekend, Banks took to Instagram and shared a fiery message for Ye via her Stories feed. In the post, Banks aims her anger towards Ye over him admonishing Kardashian and their 8-year-old daughter North over the child owning a social media account. “This is the second time he has publicly bullied North West. First with the abortion sh*t, and now putting her on blast on hi...
