HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Jim McIsaac / Getty If some folks don’t have nothing else…they have audacity. Longtime radio host Howard Stern took to the airwaves this week to scold media mogul Oprah Winfrey for “showing off” her wealth on Instagram. “It’s f*cking mind blowing when you follow her on Instagram,” Stern said, according to a report from Variety. “You see her estates, her gardens, the people who service her and, you know…She’s got servants and, like, people cooking and it’s fucking wild. She knows how to be rich…She kind of likes to show it off, which is something I’m not comfortable with.

Kid Rock Calls Oprah a “Fraud” for John Fetterman Endorsement Against Dr. Oz
Kid Rock called Oprah Winfrey “a fraud” for her endorsement of Democratic candidate John Fetterman against Republic opponent and her former frequent talk-show guest, Dr. Mehmet Oz, in the election for the open US Senate seat in Pennsylvania. Oprah threw her support to Fetterman during the host’s “A Virtual Voting Conversation” event on November 3rd despite her long working relationship with Oz, who regularly appeared as a celebrity doctor guest on The Oprah Winfrey Show.

Oprah Winfrey And Apple TV Part Ways After 4-Year Streaming Partnership
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Jon Kopaloff / Getty Welp, it’s the end of a relatively short era as Oprah Winfrey and Apple TV are parting ways. For those who had no idea that the Black media queen and the steaming company even had a thing together, Winfrey struck a multi-year content partnership with the tech giant in January 2018. The arrangement with the streaming service didn’t produce a whole lot of content. There was The Oprah Conversations, and there was The Me You Can’t See, which was a special about mental health for Apple TV+. The Oprah’s Book Club was also a gem that could be found there. But for the most part, people likely didn’t pay much attention to it because, well, there just wasn’t much to pay attention to. Still, this might not mean a complete end to O...
