HipHopWired Featured Video CLOSE Source: Paras Griffin / Getty B. Simone has carved out a healthy career for herself as an influencer, actress and member of the Wild N Out crew. Apparently, her busy schedule means she’s not able to shower daily We kid you not—she said this herself on her podcast—The Know For Sure Pod with co-host Megan Brooks. In case you think this tidbit of info was taken out of context, the receipts, via a clip you can see below, are clear as day. Apparently, if she showers on a Monday morning, she might not wash again until like Wednesday, maybe Thursday. She does say no one is “down there” in reference to a potential significant other getting a whiff of her private parts. Nevertheless, man alive. Did we need to know this, though? Also, B. Simone is known for talking o...

HipHopWired Featured Video CLOSE Source: Prince Williams / Getty The streets are saying that Young M.A is with child and as one can imagine, the reaction to the unconfirmed news has been over the top. We’ve seen some of the zanier and frankly offensive comments coming from the Twitter side of things and, unfortunately, we have to share our views on it all. Young M.A, 30, made waves in the Hip-Hop industry with her brazen lyrical ability and propensity to speak vividly about her sexual orientation on terms that befit her. While she isn’t the only out rapper from the LGBTQ community, Young M.A is certainly one of the more notable artists in that space. On Tuesday (Nov. 1), fans on Twitter began spreading the news that the Brooklyn rapper was pregnant and naturally, the jokes came flying in. ...
HipHopWired Featured Video CLOSE Source: Michael Kovac / Getty Shad Moss, aka Bow Wow, has expressed interest in becoming a professional wrestler. He’s already starting beef with one of sport’s entertainment’s biggest and, might we add, finest stars, Jade Cargill. Current AEW TBS Champion Jade Cargill delivered her signature bicycle thrust kick to the face of the pint-sized rapper after he tried to seemingly shoot his shot at her. Wannabe wrestler Bow Wow offered to take Cargill, who is happily married, on a date writing in a tweet directly mentioning the professional wrestler, “After my first win i just wanna take you out somewhere.” In response, Cargill hit her with a digital version of her finishing move, the “Jaded” responding in a follow-up tweet, “You can’t afford me Bow. Thanks but ...
HipHopWired Featured Video CLOSE Source: NurPhoto / Getty Elon Musk, aka Phony Stark, aka “Chief Twit,” is on a mission to ruin Twitter, and so far, he’s doing a pretty good damn job. The Musk era at Twitter has officially begun, and it’s already a clusterf*** thanks to some critical firings, the rise of N-Word usage, the return of problematic Twitter users, and one decision that has Twitter users already scratching their heads. The Verge reports that Elon Musk has told his company to find a way to implement a way to start charging people to have the highly-coveted blue verification check next to their names. The Tesla chief has given the Twitter team to get the plan up and running by Nov. 7, or Musk will fire them. Per The Verge: The directive is to change Twitter Blue, the company’s opti...

HipHopWired Featured Video CLOSE Source: Matt Cardy / Getty Beyoncé fans rejoice you will get your opportunity to do the #cuffitchallenge with Bey herself in an arena or stadium near you. The singer confirmed a Renaissance World Tour is coming in a unique way. No longer doing things the conventional way, Beyoncé decided to announce her Renaissance World Tour during an auction slideshow at the fifth annual Wearable Art Gala on October 22.

HipHopWired Featured Video CLOSE Source: DENNIS A. CLARK / Getty Following the senseless murder of Hip-Hop star PnB Rock, many social media detectives got on Twitter and claimed it was a harmless post by his girlfriend, Stephanie Sibounheuang, that tipped off his killer to his location. One person, Cardi B, called C A P on that, and following the release of new developments in the case, she wants the apology to PnB Rock’s girlfriend to be VERY LOUD. It didn’t take long for Twitter sleuths to falsely determine that PnB Rock’s girlfriend gave away the couple’s location when she shared a photo of the meal she was enjoying while at Roscoes Chicken & Waffles in South Los Angeles on Sept.12. Sibounheuang was subjected to harsh bullying and accusations from people like Kodak Black and a rappe...
HipHopWired Featured Video CLOSE Source: Kevin Mazur / Getty Nicki Minaj wasn’t thought to be a part of the current back and forth between Cardi B and Akbar V, but many on Twitter are suggesting the opposite. On Twitter, the trending topic “IT’S GIVING COKE” is ringing off and Nicki Minaj is seemingly the target. As most Hip-Hop fans are well aware, certain artists have a collective of fans, or “hives” that put all of their energy into celebrating their respective faves. Sometimes, these groups of fans really take their roles seriously and become digital foot soldiers on the battlefield which is social media. That said, Nicki Minaj probably didn’t help matters earlier today if the subtweeting Cardi B accusations are true. Rewinding just a bit, Cardi and Akbar V got into a nasty war of word...

HipHopWired Featured Video CLOSE Source: Josh Brasted / Getty Erica Banks is defending herself on social media after sharing some interesting comments on Instagram. The “Buss It” crafter is rethinking who is in her “Close Friends” circle after someone leaked a video of Banks revealing the girls she goes clubbing with must have “a certain type of look” to be in her clique. “If she don’t look how I want her to look, physically, I don’t want her to come because the look of everything is so important to me,” Banks unabashedly told her Close Friends circle. “If she ain’t thick enough, no. Hair not did good enough? Nope. Can’t dress? Nope. Skinny? Nope!” she said while laughing. Word? Banks did try to explain her stance, saying the girl who doesn’t meet the club criteria can come to other events...
