Kanye West & His Work Boots Will Reportedly Headline Coachella 2022
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Gotham / Getty Coachella reportedly has found its third headliner, and it’s none other than Kanye West. Per Variety, the artist now just known as Ye and his Vibram-soled Red Wing work safety boots will be filling the third and final headliner spot at this year’s Coachella music festival. This means it’s all but sure Travis Scott, who is still losing bags due to the Astroworld fiasco, will not be performing. The publication exclusively reports that sources have revealed that West has signed on to perform and join other headliners, Billie Eilish and Swedish House Mafia. The trio will replace Frank Ocean, Rage Against the Machine, and Travis Scott, who was supposed to headline the 2020 edition of the music festival that was on hiatus for two years due to the...
GOP Ops Running Kanye’s POTUS Campaign Accused of Using Illegal Methods
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: The Washington Post / Getty Another bombshell involving the ill-fated 2020 presidential run of Kanye West has dropped, this time in the form of allegations that Republican insiders on his campaign team used illegal methods to hide their financial movements & involvement. According to reports, the boast by Ye that both Democratic & Republican consultants were involved in working on his campaign to be president has been undermined as it was discovered that Democratic consulting company Millennial Strategies was being used to funnel money up to $2.7 million to the firm running the campaign, Mercury Public Affairs, which is aligned with former President Donald Trump and other far-right notables. This situation would appear to be a violation of federal...
Kim Kardashian Can Breathe A Sigh of Relief, Kanye West & Julia Fox Seem To Be Getting Very Serious
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Gotham / Getty Things are picking up quickly between Kanye West and his alleged new girlfriend, Uncut Gems star Julia Fox. Kim Kardashian can possibly breathe a sigh of relief. It seems Julia Fox is currently keeping rain boots wearing Kanye West’s attention right now. Per TMZ, the rumored new couple were spotted together in NYC on Tuesday (Jan.4) following a weekend in Miami that saw them hanging out with N.O.R.E and his wife. On Tuesday, West and Fox hit the Omicron-filled streets to catch Slave Play, one of the few Broadway plays that did not shut down due to the highly contagious COVID-19 variant. The popular but very polarizing play is right up West’s ally because it tackles topics like sex, race, gender, traumatic experiences, and, of course, interr...
Artist Formerly Known As Kanye West Working On ‘DONDA 2’, Twitter Does What It Does
HipHopWired Featured Video CLOSE Source: Kevin Mazur / Getty Kanye West aka Ye spent a gang of money to promote his last album, DONDA, with a numerous album listening events, pushed back release dates and a feature-heavy guestlist.

Complex first reported that music exec Steven Victor revealed that the artist formerly known as Yeezy was working on the project. “Ye has started working on his new masterpiece DONDA 2,” Steven Victor told Complex. But worth noting, many people have already pointed out that Ye has a suspect track record when it comes to proper sequels (remember Cruel Winter, the sequel to Cruel Summer?—never happened).
