HipHopWired Featured Video CLOSE Source: Jason Davis / Getty / Candace Owens The Tory Lanez criminal trial is underway and about to wrap up. As reporters feed information to those intrigued by the spectacle this court case has become, allowing them to form opinions, primarily false, Megan Thee Stallion, the apparent victim in all of this, has gained an unlikely supporter in Candace Owens. A broken clock is right twice a day. Edgeless coonservative Candace Owens, who in the past has criticized Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion for their raunchy hit record “WAP,” is putting on her cape for the Houston rapper. Taking to Elon Musk’s Twitter, Owens blasted the obvious misogynoir Thee Stallion is receiving and shared a clip from her podcast calling it out. In the caption for the tweet, she wrote, ...
HipHopWired Featured Video CLOSE Source: Prince Williams / Getty Another day, another struggle involving DJ Akademiks. This time (Dec. 12), the influential troll is waging a Twitter battle with Yung Miami, and it’s mostly stemming from Diddy. Actually, the cause is Akademiks finding the need to comment on Diddy announcing that he had a new baby daughter, and what the implications are for YM, born Caresha Romeka Brownlee, Brother Love’s alleged significant other. Apparently, the new bundle of joy is not YM’s leading to plenty of questions and tea-sipping slander. Enter Akademiks. Clearly, YM was none too pleased with the perpetual most hated’s commentary that included calling her the side chick. “I’M NOBODY SIDE BITCH LETS JUST MAKE THIS CLEAR ON THIS GOOD MONDAY! I don’t come 2nd to no bit...
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Joseph Okpako / Getty Summer Walker appears to be big mad at Black people for being big mad at her anti-Blackness, and now it’s just unclear if this sweet Summer child has any kind of social awareness whatsoever. It all started when the Atlanta-based songstress posted a job opening on her Instagram account earlier offering $2,000 a month for a male assistant who is at least 25 years old, knows how to “build stuff” and—here’s the weird anti-Black kicker—is “preferably white or gay.” Apparently, Walker thought Black people were being unreasonable in wondering why the hell a Black woman would prefer to give her coins to a white person specifically. “And then to be talking about, ‘Why a white man and why a gay man?’” Walker said in response to the backlash, a...

In that interview, Vlad remarked that for rappers in their 50s, relevancy was hard except for Nas and Jay-Z. Boosie Badazz countered and said, “I don’t think Jay-Z’s relevant. This day? No.” He went on to say, “When I go to these clubs here in Atlanta, these 25 to 35 clubs…I’m not hearing Nas. I’m not hearing Jay-Z.” After a slight pushback from Vlad, Boosie doubled down on his stance and pointed out he wasn’t knocking their legacy. ...

HipHopWired Featured Video CLOSE Source: YouTube / Youtube We have arrived at the Ye co-signs Adolf Hitler with his whole chest portion of the simulation. On Thursday (Dec, 1), the artist formerly known as Kanye West made an appearance on Alex Jones’ web show, and proceeded to say that even a homicidal maniac has something of value to contribute. Ye appearing on Alex Jones was already wild for the night. This is the same conspiracy wingnut who is on the hook for millions of damages to the families of Sandy Hook victims after he falsely claimed the murders of their children were all made up. Such heinous behaviors was apparently not enough to stop Ye from having a live stream interview with the infamous Infowars host. They surely didn’t disappoint when it comes to tomfoolery and lies, that ...

HipHopWired Featured Video CLOSE Source: Sean Gardner / Getty We haven’t seen a situation whoop people’s a**** like this Kyrie Irving one. Jaylen Brown has been very vocal after the Brooklyn Nets suspended Irving, but he is eating crow this time. After fulfilling the so-called “emasculating” conditions the Brooklyn Nets imposed on him, Kyrie Irving returned to the court on Sunday, November 20. His return wasn’t without some theatrics, while Irving was just focused on basketball after dropping not one but two heartfelt apologies. Outside of the Barclays Center, there was plenty of noise being made.

HipHopWired Featured Video CLOSE Source: Axelle/Bauer-Griffin / Getty Brown bombshell Kelly Rowland is not here for Chris Brown being booed on her watch. During the AMAs on Sunday evening, November 21, Kelly Rowland decided to use the moment to do her best N.O.R.E. impression and give Chris Brown his flowers. The Destiny’s Child member was put in an awkward position while presenting the award for Favorite Male R&B Artist. Chris Brown won the award besting Lucky Daye (who should have won), The Weeknd, Brent Faiyaz, and GIVĒON. Brown was not at the awards show, so the “Motivation” singer accepted the award on his behalf. Brown’s win didn’t sit well with some audience members, who booed Brown. Rowland wasn’t here for the “disrespect” and gave those booing a piece of her mind. “Excuse me —...
