Julia Fox “Could Care Less” About Opinions About Her Relationship With Kanye West, Twitter Clowns The Pair
HipHopWired Featured Video CLOSE Source: Christian Vierig / Getty Kanye West’s rebound, Julia Fox, does not care about your thoughts on her relationship with the embattled Hip-Hop superstar. The rapper, now legally known as Ye, is literally trying to mold Julia Fox in his ex-wife’s Kim Kardashian’s image. Even Stevie Wonder can see that. Both Fox and West are trying their best to make us give a significant damn about their budding relationship that even ridiculously spawned an entire feature article about their first date. For those that do give a damn, there have been plenty of thoughts about the “whirlwind romance” between the multi-hyphenate and the Uncut Gems star. Fox decided to address the comments about her and Ye’s relationship on her podcast, Forbidden Fruits with Niki Takesh. In ...
DJ Khaled Gifts Kanye West Rare Air Jordan 3’s, Working On Music Too
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: @djkhaled / Instagram Kanye West and DJ Khaled have been in the studio working on what surely is a future smash hit (we’ll let you decide if there’s sarcasm there). Perhaps more importantly, Khaled hooked his homie Ye up with a very rare pair of Air Jordan 3’s. Of course, the gifting had to be shared on social media or else it wouldn’t have actually happened. The kicks in question are the blue Father Of Asahd x Air Jordan 3’s that Khaled officially cooked up with Jordan Brand. As Khaled repeatedly says, only 100 were made, and he also noted that he doesn’t have any left in the caption of the video.

David Guetta and Sorana Revamp “Heartless” In Kanye-Approved Collab, “redruM”
Sorana and David Guetta have put a haunting new twist on a classic heartbreak anthem with their new single, “redruM.” Marking Sorana’s debut on Atlantic Records, the synthwave-inspired track is “an ironic POV on how dramatically people react” to breakups, she said. It was from the perspective of the heartbreaker’s next love, and pulls its melody from Ye’s (formerly known as Kanye West) timeless single “Heartless,” adding the iconic rapper as a co-writer to its credits. “redruM” comes paired paired with a music video inspired by cult classic horror movie, The Shining, putting the cherry on top of Sorana’s creative vision. Her cotton candy-colored version drops a heartsore S...
The Return Of “Air Yeezy”? Kanye West Teases Jordan Collab, Allegedly
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: JJ/Bauer-Griffin / Getty A minute ago social media began to suspect that Kanye West would be making a shocking return to the Nike brand when he was spotted wearing a pair of Nike Vandal High “Terminator”‘s, but unfortunately for sneaker aficionados nothing ever came after that moment. While he’s since gone back to wearing wild ass Adidas Yeezy boots, slides, and male struggle stripper boots, today (Jan. 21) he dropped a hint that not only could he be working with Nike again, but this time with their crown jewel brand, Jordan. Taking to Instagram to post the famous Jumpman logo that is a silhouette of one Michael Jordan, Kanye captioned it with “👀” to get the sneaker world in a frenzy in a matter of seconds. Could the long-awaited Adidas/Jorda...
Is Pete Davidson Running Scared After Kanye’s Threatening ‘Eazy’ Diss, Or Nah?
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Supplied by WENN.com / WENN Last week, we reported that Kanye West and The Game collaborated on their new track, “Eazy,” which included a not-so-subtle diss directed towards comedian and Kim Kardashian’s new boo, Pete Davidson. “God saved me from that crash/ just so I can beat Pete Davidson’s a**,” Yeezus rapped. So now there’s the question of how serious Ye is about Pete catching the bleached blonde fade and how Davidson has responded to the threatening line in Kanye’s song. Well, an inside source has told Page Six that Davidson isn’t running scared from no Kanye and that he actually “thinks it’s totally hilarious.” “Not just that—he thinks the whole [tabloid drama with him, West and Kardashian] is hilarious. He loves it,” the source continued. Page...
Kanye West & Big Sean Spotted Leaving The Studio
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Scott Dudelson / Getty It’s been a very eventful few days for Kanye West. From taking to social media to complain about Kim Kardashian not letting him attend his daughter’s birthday party to having that guy Pete hire extra security after Kanye threatened to “beat” Davidson’s “ass” on a new song with The Game, Ye’s been making all kinds of noise these days. But it seems like Kanye’s at least squashed some lingering drama he had with Big Sean as the two were recently spotted leaving the studio together in Los Angeles just a day ago. Apparently the two have reconciled their differences as Ye was the first to throw a shot across the bow when he called signing Big Sean the “worst” thing he ever did while talking to Nore on Drink Champs a few months back. Big S...

HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Vivien Killilea / Getty Okay, everyone, we can stop panicking. Hit-Boy and Ye, aka Kanye West, are no longer “beefing” with each other. The two exceptional Hip-Hop producers are back on good terms coming together on the lowkey Pete Davidson diss track “Eazy” featuring chronic name-dropper The Game. Nas’ favorite producer confirmed he joined the Ye and his Red Wing boots in the studio via Instagram with the simple comment, “Me and ye back working.” Hit-Boy also shared images of both of them doing what they do best in the lab with a screenshot of a fan’s tweet stating, “if Ye & Hit-Boy moving like it’s 2012, we definitely in for some HEAT.” Now, as to why Hit-Boy and Ye were beefing? He revealed West was not happy about him collaborating with Beyoncé. “...
Amber Rose Apologizes To The Kardashians For Old Kanye Tweet After Twitter Hails Her As A Prophet
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: PA Images / Getty On February 20, 2015, model and TV personality, Amber Rose tweeted to her estranged ex, Kanye West, “I’ll leave that up to the Kartrashians to humiliate u when they’re done with u.” Recently, Rose’s tweet resurfaced and many on Twitter hailed her as a prophet as Kim and Kanye’s marriage has long circled the drain and they’ve both moved on to new relationships. (I mean, Ye still appears to be chasing after his ex who he bought a house right across the street from and he also begged her to run back to him from the stage, but if you ignore all of that—sure, he’s moved on.) Related Stories But Amber—who has called Kanye a “narcissist” and “bully“—ain’t out here trying to be Rose-trdamus, she isn’t proud of her old tweet and she doesn’t want ...
Narrative Ye: Kanye West Says Travis Scott Put Him On To Daughter Chicago’s Birthday Party Location
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: @kanyewest / Instagram Kanye West‘s life is a spiral of peak drama and struggle right about now. Ye recently attended his daughter Chicago’s birthday party, but only because Travis Scott told him where it was located and the time. At least, that’s the story Yeezy is telling the public as to maintain his proper narrative. It’s 2022, after all. TMZ detailed all the necessary tomfoolery: Kanye seemed thrilled he was able to show up to the shindig but said it was Travis Scott who told him the party was being thrown at Kylie’s home. He also thanked Kris and Corey … and Kylie for letting him in, but made no mention of Kim. He also groused that security stopped him briefly at the door.
