House 5: Even Twitter “You Can Only Live In One House” Memes Are Gentrified
HipHopWired Featured Video CLOSE Source: VioletaStoimenova / Getty A popular Twitter meme floating around that uses the “You can only live in one house” theme leans heavily into one genre while barely giving a nod to Hip-Hop. Despite the dozens of rock and metal bands mentioned in the meme replete with artists across the aforementioned genres, the house centered on Rap acts sticks out like a sore thumb. This is not a diss towards Travis Akers, who was most likely just having a little fun with the meme. But across the nine houses with six artists listed in each, only one is devoted to Hip-Hop. Amid names like Fall Out Boy, Blink-182, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, Korn, Nine Inch Nails, and other favorites of the cul-de-sac, the Hip-Hop house offering pales in number and diversity of sound.

Ari, who is dating Moneybagg Yo, joked that she’d be all good with the rapper pulling a gun on her to demand she stay if he threatened to leave. Twitter immediately flamed her for her commentary, and there have been repercussions. As Madame Noire points out, Fletcher’s images on the Savage x Fenty website soon after got wiped. It leads many to believe that Rihanna, herself a domestic violence...

Nick Cannon Let The Pipe Flourish On Camera, Thirsty Twitter Reacts In Parched
HipHopWired Featured Video CLOSE Source: Gilbert Carrasquillo / Getty Nick Cannon is known for many things and that includes his sprawling media empire and his prolific fatherhood abilities.
