HipHopWired Featured Video CLOSE Source: Richard Baker / Getty Donald Trump and toilet in the same sentence make all the sense in the world. Hillary Clinton must be somewhere laughing her a** off following reports that disgraced former President Donald Trump clogged White House toilets trying to dispose of documents, a claim he denies, of course. New York Times reporter Maggie Haberman dropped explosive claims of Trump’s alleged document dump (pun intended), including “damaging government documents” in her new investigative book, Confidence Man. “Staff believ(ed) Trump had flushed material he’d ripped into pieces,” Haberman wrote in a tweet. The paper towel-throwing clown shut down the reports calling them “categorically untrue.” “Another fake story, that I flushed papers and documents dow...
HipHopWired Featured Video CLOSE Source: Aisha Thomas / EyeEm / Getty Another case of misinformation spreading faster than the facts. If you have been on social media the past few days and avoided Nelly and Lil Fizz’s manhood, you definitely saw people talking about the Biden Administration “spending 30 million to give out free crack pipes to Black people,” calling it “racial equality.” That, of course, is not the case, and NewsOne broke that down exceptionally, but, as expected, right-wing news outlets have seized the narrative and painted the story in a manner that even has some Black folks sharing it without proper context. Per NewsOne, the $30 Million Harm Reduction Grant “supports community-based programs geared toward overdose prevention, syringe services programs and other harm redu...
HipHopWired Featured Video CLOSE Source: Bernard Smalls / @PhotosByBeanz83 It’s a new year, so you know what that means, its time for new Galaxy smartphones from Samsung. Wednesday (Feb.9), Samsung unveiled its new S Series Galaxy smartphones, the S22, S22+, and S22 Ultra. As with every iteration of its Galaxy flagship smartphone, the Korean tech giant boasts significant improvements with the new S22 smartphones. All three models utilize Samsung’s new Armor Aluminum, first introduced on the Galaxy Z Fold3 5G and Galaxy Z Flip3 5G and now being featured on S22 models, a first for Samsung’s S-series phones.

Hollywood and video games should have a much better relationship, but thanks to some very forgettable films based on popular video game franchises, that is sadly not the case. Lately, the trend has been heading in a more positive direction as the dreaded “video game curse” that normally dooms movies based on games seems to be becoming an afterthought. Uncharted, PlayStation Studios’ first foray into the world of cinema, hopes to continue the trend. We spoke with one of the film’s stars Tati Gabrielle about her involvement in the highly anticipated film. In Uncharted, we follow a young Nathan Drake (Tom Holland), a young street-savvy thief who gets lured into the world of treasure hunting by Victor “Sully” Sullivan (Mark Wahlberg). Sully pulls on young Nathan’s heartstrings by mentioning he...
HipHopWired Featured Video CLOSE Source: Rockstar Games / GTA 6 We knew it was coming, and finally, Rockstar Games has acknowledged that GTA 6 is in development. Grand Theft Auto V has moved over 155 million copies, brought in billions of dollars making it one of the most financially successful forms of entertainment ever made, and continues to be a cash cow for Rockstar Games thanks to GTA Online.

HipHopWired Featured Video CLOSE Source: Sun Sentinel / Getty The NFL was hit with a gut punch on the first day of Black History Month after it was slapped with a lawsuit by former Miami Dolphins head coach Brian Flores that is pretty much calling the “Rooney Rule” a glorified bandaid. Brian Flores shocked the world on Tuesday (Feb.1) when he not only announced his lawsuit calling out the league for blatant racism in the head coach hiring process and provided a stunning receipt. Flores shared a text message he received from New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick congratulating the wrong Brian for landing the Giants head coaching job. Belichick’s text message was received on Jan.24, two days before Flores was supposed to be interviewed for the job. A confused Flores can be seen in t...
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Techland / Dying Light 2 Stay Human It’s been seven years since Techland took us from Dead Island to the world Dying Light. The highly anticipated follow-up Dying Light 2 Stay Human is here but does it leap over its predecessor? Yes, it does in many ways. Dying Light 2 Stay Human keeps the same energy from the first game but adds a bevy of fresh additions to take the sequel to another level. Players take control of Aiden Caldwell, a pilgrim or a runner, who basically navigates through the city carrying out tasks for people afraid to traverse the dangerous world now infested with zombies thanks to a virus unleashed by the GRE (Global Relief Effort), the antagonistic entity fans of the first game will remember. After learning the GRE wasn’t looking for a cu...
HipHopWired Featured Video CLOSE Source: Paramount / Halo Master Chief is making the leap from your Xbox Series X console to the small screen in a new Halo TV series, and it looks damn good, except for this one particular item. It only took multiple attempts and an abandoned movie plan, but Halo has finally gotten the Hollywood treatment in the form of a television series. The first trailer for the highly anticipated show arrived during the NFL’s AFC Championship game, giving us our first best look at the legendary Spartan soldier John-117 aka Master Chief, and his fellow Spartans in live-action. The show will go back in time in the Halo mythos focusing on Master Chief’s (Pablo Schreiber) life and the Human/Covenant conflict. Fans of the video game franchise will also see a tweaked t...
HipHopWired Featured Video CLOSE Source: Bungie / Destiny 2 Another day, another massive acquisition in the world of video games. Following Take-Two Interactive’s purchase of mobile gaming giant Zynga and Microsoft’s acquisition of Activision Blizzard, Sony said it too could acquire a popular game studio. Monday (Jan.31), Destiny developer and original Halo creator Bungie announced that Sony is purchasing it for $3.6 billion. In a blog post, Bungie CEO Pete Parsons quickly answered the burning question stating that it will “continue to independently publish and creatively develop our games.” “In SIE, we have found a partner who unconditionally supports us in all we are and who wants to accelerate our vision to create generation-spanning entertainment, all while preserving the creative inde...
