Kanye West Rumored to Be Dating Supermodel Irina Shayk
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Marco Piraccini / WENN If you thought the rumors about a possible Drake and Kim Kardashian hookup would have Kanye West down in the dumpster, think again. While the bipolar artist might be keeping himself out of the limelight as of late, word is spreading that the MAGA enthusiast has already found himself a rebound and the woman happens to be a supermodel from Russia (of course). According to The Sun, Kanye West has been secretly dating supermodel, Irina Shayk for a minute as she’s been single ever since breaking-up with Hollywood heavyweight, Bradley Cooper. Is she sure she ready to deal with all the madness that comes with Yeezy?? Did Vladimir Putin put her up to this as a favor to their friend in common, Donald Trump? So many questions at this point.

HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Will Alexander/WENN.com / WENN Kanye West might’ve went and turned himself into a MAGA supporting Hip-Hop pariah as of late, but his adidas Yeezy line continues to be a hot commodity out in these streets. It looks like he’s got something new in the chamber for the sneaker community. Recently Kanye was spotted carrying around a pair of never-before-seen silhouettes that are very different from anything adidas has released in previous years. Looking like a sole made for the basketball court, many have begun speculating that it’s a new installment into the D. Rose Yeezy line that debuted not too long ago. With the bright blue outsoles it would make sense for them to be part of the D. Rose line as he’s on the New York Knicks right now and that orange and blue...

Swizz Beatz Reaching Out To Kanye West For DMX’s Memorial Service
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Johnny Nunez / Getty Ever since his divorce from Kim Kardashian became public, Kanye West has been keeping a very low profile and moving in the shadows, but would he come out of hiding to pay homage to DMX? Page Six is reporting that Swizz Beatz is hoping that to be the case as he’s reaching out to the “Jesus Walks” rapper to gauge his interest in performing at a memorial service for the dearly departed, Dark Man X. While it seems like a strange request being that X and Ye don’t really have a history of a working relationship, the two men were men of God (X seemingly much more than Kanye), and DMX even delivered a prayer at one of Kanye’s Sunday Services back in 2019. The moment was captured and shared by Ye’s then wife, Kim Kardashian. “I wouldn’t call i...

Mystery Solved: Kanye West Is Not The Richest Black Person In America
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Kevin Mazur / Getty Kanye West was all the buzz in the news this week when reports came forth that he was potentially the richest Black person in United States history. As we shared in our reporting on the earlier story, much of the valuation of West’s deals were speculative in nature and a new analysis debunks some of the headlines. Forbes examined the report put forth by Bloomberg that valued West’s clothing deal with the Gap at $4.7 billion due to a private bank document. However, Forbes is saying that the much-ballyhooed $6.6 billion number that has been floating around for days doesn’t pass muster. The folks at Forbes believe that West, very much still a billionaire, is actually worth closer to $1.8 billion, which proves his wealth has grown vastly i...
