N.O.R.E. Apologizes For Ye’s George Floyd Comments, ‘Drink Champs’ Episode Pulled
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Marcus Ingram / Getty N.O.R.E. is apologizing. The Drink Champs host went on a tour to say “my bad” for letting Ye, formerly known as Kanye West, run rampant with the hateful vitriol, which included questioning how George Floyd died, during his latest appearance on the popular podcast. Everyone knew someone would give Ye access to a microphone, but no one thought that outlet would let the “Power” rapper and designer talk so recklessly. The entire Drink Champs episode, which has since been taken down (but was up over 24 hours), features Ye going heavy on the antisemitic commentary, asserting that Jews are running the music industry and not giving creatives a fair shake in business. But another “free thought” that raised eyebrows was when Ye said George Flo...
Kanye’s ‘Drink Champs’ Interview With N.O.R.E. Has Been Removed From Revolt & YouTube
After N.O.R.E.’s apology post-Drink Champs interview with Kanye West, the video itself has been removed from YouTube and Revolt. Following the interview between N.O.R.E. and Ye, backlash ensued, with viewers pointing out the controversial rapper’s comments regarding the murder of George Floyd, and Jewish people “[owning] the Black voice” through Black people wearing a Ralph Lauren shirt, “being signed to a record label, or having a Jewish manager, or being signed to a Jewish basketball team, or doing a movie on a Jewish platform like Disney.” He went on to add, “I respect what the Jewish people have done, and how they brought their people together.” The conversation lasted nearly 45-minutes and came on the heels of Ye’s attendance at Candace Owens’ premiere of her film, The Greatest L...
Twitter Cooks MAGA Tap Dance Queen Candace Owens Because Why Not?
HipHopWired Featured Video CLOSE Source: The Washington Post / Getty Candace Owens is seen by many on social media to be nothing more than a grifter, leaning into her role as a passionate Black conservative with calculated glee. In the wake of the news that Kanye West aka Ye is going to buy the social media service that her husband oversees, Owens’ name began trending on Twitter with all the insults packed in as one can imagine. Candace Owens, a mature-looking 33 years of age, is a star of the conservative pundit space and has aligned herself with the likes of Donald Trump and other right wings stalwarts supporters and figures. Parler, the so-called free speech social media app erected as a counter to Twitter, names Owens’ husband, George Farmer, as its CEO. Farmer also put funds behind in...

HipHopWired Featured Video CLOSE Source: Stephane Cardinale – Corbis / Getty Coon in boots, aka Kanye West, aka Ye, is doubling down on his MAGA ways with his latest business move. Spotted on Bloomberg, Ye has agreed to purchase Parler, the social media platform where MAGA whites went to share their far-right (racist) political thoughts “freely.” Per Bloomberg: Ye, formerly known as Kanye West, has agreed to buy Parler, a social media platform that has been embraced by conservatives who departed Twitter over allegations of political censorship. Parlement Technologies, the parent company behind Parler, announced Monday that it plans to sell the social media platform to the hip-hop icon for an undisclosed amount. The deal would include technical support from Parlement, such as...
Ye Goes Full Antisemite In ‘Drink Champs’ “Interview”, Says George Floyd Died Of Fentanyl
HipHopWired Featured Video CLOSE Source: Revolt / Youtube You knew someone was going to book the artist formerly known as Kanye West for an interview after his recent antisemitic rhetoric. N.O.R.E.’s Drink Champs podcast locked Ye in, and the interview was as toxic, off the rails and frustrating as most anyone would have expected. Actually, it may have been worse. One particular clip making the rounds (the interview went down on Saturday night (Oct. 15), features Ye saying the cop’s knee wasn’t on George Floyd’s “neck like that” and that he actually died due to fentanyl. Seriously. Any such claims were debunked, the cop is in jail for murdering Floyd, period. The three-hour interview (good luck to anyone sitting through the entire thing), features Ye speaking a lot about the left and “Jewi...
All Falls Down: JPMorgan Chase Ends Banking Relationship With Kanye West
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: The Washington Post / Getty Kanye West is quickly learning there are consequences to being a “free thinker” and just saying antisemitic things. JPMorgan Chase has informed the rapper they will no longer be handling the “billionaire’s” company’s cash. Once you say antisemitic things, it all falls down. After weeks of making head*ss comments and a white lives matter shirt that earned him a ton of well-deserved backlash, JPMorgan Chase informed the billionaire, “genius,” rapper that his YEEZY money is no longer good there. West and his team were told by the American-based multinational investment bank and financial services holding company. In the statement, JPMorgan Chase noted a recent conversation with an entity whose name can’t be seen, led to the decisi...
Kanye West and Ray J Reunite At Candace Owens’ Struggle BLM Doc Premiere
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Jason Davis / Getty Candace Owens is known for bringing people together. Yeah right, but she did manage to reunite Ray J and her new buddy Kanye West at the premiere for her alleged Black Lives Matter documentary. Source: Jason Davis / Getty Reportedly, Owens and MAGA Ye have been in constant conversation lately (she proudly rocked the widely panned “White Lives Matter” tee with Ye). Which actually makes sense since he’s also been going full antisemite. But for now, we’ll discuss the premiere of Owens’ documentary about the BLM movement, The Greatest Lie Ever Sold: George Floyd and the Rise of BLM, which went down last night in Nashville at the Woolworth Theater. As reported by Page Six, there was Ray J (who infamously starred in a sextape with Kim Kardas...
‘The Shop: Uninterrupted’ Decides Not To Air Kanye West Interview
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: JULIEN DE ROSA / Getty Kanye West leaned into his controversial antics of late, including an off-the-rails interview with Tucker Carlson that recently aired. The Chicago producer was slated to appear on The Shop: Uninterrupted but the producers of the show opted to not air the interview as Ye doubled down on his stances. Kanye West taped an episode of The Shop and while it was framed to be a conversation about his recent comments and a platform to clarify his ideas, SpringHill Company CEO and co-host Maverick Carter offered in an exclusive statement to Andscape that it was not the case. From Andscape: “Yesterday we taped an episode of The Shop with Kanye West. Kanye was booked weeks ago and, after talking to Kanye directly the day before we taped, I belie...
Whitesplainer Sarah Silverman Dragged For Insinuating Black Twitter Condones Kanye West Antisemitism
HipHopWired Featured Video CLOSE Source: D Dipasupil / Getty Sarah Silverman did it to herself. The vocal comedian and activist took to Twitter to insinuate that Black people, or at least Black Twitter, was being silent about the antisemitic rhetoric Kanye West has been accused of hurling—and she was quickly and curtly course-corrected for her tomfoolery. In case you’ve been unaware, Kanye West found himself placed on pause by Instagram first and then Twitter for what many say is antisemitic commentary. It started with him claiming Jews were the ones who told Diddy to holla at him and then he said he was straight going “Death Con 3” on Jews, after he gets some sleep. That said, the Black Twitter delegation has been flaming Kanye West since he dropped those bombs, and ones he’s dropped over...
Kanye West Showed Porn To Adidas Executives During Tense Meeting
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Kanye West Purchases Second City In Wyoming To Bring Yeezy Production / Kanye West Purchases Second City In Wyoming To Bring Yeezy Production To The US It’s been pretty obvious for a minute that Ye’s been a tad bit off his rocker in both his behavior and overall thought process. But the latest allegations against him might take the exotic cake as Yeezy seems to be spiraling out of control. According to Page Six, the artist formerly known as Kanye West is being accused of showing porn to adidas executives during a business meeting between himself and four other men. Apparently a 30-minute video was uploaded on YouTube dubbed “LAST WEEK” in which Ye rolls around with a camera crew before meeting up with some adidas execs in an empty room. That’s when things...
Celebs Slam Kanye West aka MAGA Ye Over Anti-Semitic Remarks
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Jeff Kravitz/MTV1415 / Getty Kanye West has once again gone on an offensive rant spree, this time sending out antisemitic messages on social media. Celebrities, including John Legend, were quick to swoop in and condemn him. The rapper and business mogul has attracted the ire of many within the past couple of weeks, but his latest stunt has gotten him into considerable trouble. On Saturday (Oct. 8), West sent out a now-deleted tweet that read: “I’m a bit sleepy tonight but when I wake up I’m going death con 3 On JEWISH PEOPLE. The funny thing is I actually can’t be Anti Semitic because black people are actually Jew also You guys have toyed with me and tried to black ball anyone whoever opposes your agenda.” The tweet would be removed by Twitter for vi...
Lizzo Had Time For Kanye West During Her SOLD OUT Show In Toronto
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Robert Okine / Getty Lizzo once again has to waste time addressing someone bringing her name up; this time, she seemingly clapped back at Kanye West. Ye or Kanye West, or whatever you want to call him, has been on one. The problematic multihyphenate has landed in hot water on both Instagram and Twitter after dropping antisemitic comments. He also took his dog and pony show to Fox News to chop it up with far-right apologist Tucker Carlson about his trash white lives matters shirts. During the interview, Ye, for whatever reason, decided to bring up Lizzo during his ridiculous and nonsensical diatribe. He loudly and wrongly claimed that “bots” were behind a push to keep Lizzo overweight. “Let’s get aside from the fact whether it’s fashion and vogue, which it...
