She Said What She Said: Megan Thee Stallion Had Time For Carl Crawford On Twitter
HipHopWired Featured Video CLOSE Source: Jason Koerner / Getty Megan Thee Stallion is fed up with her record label and anyone that is still questioning if she got shot by Tory Lanez and decided to call people out on Twitter. Megan Thee Stallion had time on Monday (Mar.21). Following reports that the Houston rapper’s record label 1501 Certified Entertainment is countersuing her, claiming she owes them two more albums and money, Thee Stallion hopped on Twitter to call them out. The label’s legal action follows Thee Stallion taking 1501 Certified Entertainment to court, claiming she fulfilled her contractual obligations. 1501 Certified Entertainment in their suit said nah because they claimed her latest project, “Something For The Hotties,” is nothing more than a mere compilation album full o...
Kanye West Offers “Pawn” DL Hughley The Fade: “I Can Afford To Hurt U”
HipHopWired Featured Video CLOSE Source: Ronald Martinez / Getty The Kanye West Is Reckless on Social Media Tour is chugging right along with no end in sight. This time, Ye responded to recent criticism DL Hughley sent his way by threatening the Kings Of Comedy comedian. In a recent interview with DJ Vlad, Hughley likened Ye’s treatment of Kim Kardashian, at least in social media, to that of a stalker, or a domestic abuser if we’re keeping it a bean. Clearly, Ye wasn’t too happy about the comparison. Taking to his preferred method of communication, Instagram, Ye posted the old clip of DL Hughley fainting on stage and added some vitriol to the caption (which also included a stray shot at Charlamagne Tha God. “We gone stop letting practicing drug addicts be used by leftist to Willie Lynch ou...
Don’t F*ck With Plantains: Nutritionist Gets Fried On Twitter For Unsolicited Fried Plantains Calorie Count
HipHopWired Featured Video CLOSE Source: Sergio Amiti / Getty Social media etiquette isn’t the same as real-world etiquette, which is generally about politeness, decorum and general manners. Social media etiquette is more or less about what not to do unless you want to get yourself dragged. For example, you just don’t use your Instagram account to come for popular African and Caribbean dishes out of nowhere unless you’re looking to catch the wrath of Black Twitter. You just don’t. Nutritionist Bryanne Hackman found this out the hard way when she decided to share information nobody asked for about the calorie count in fried plantains. “As much as I don’t like to admit this, fried plantains have calories,” she wrote in her no-sh**-Sherlock-style revalation. “Looks can be deceiving but portio...
Podcast Bozos Say High-Earning Women Are Less Attractive, Twitter Throws Tomatoes
HipHopWired Featured Video CLOSE Source: Peter Cade / Getty The podcast business is a booming one and almost anyone with a microphone, tripod, and Internet connection can begin the building blocks of their talk space empire. However, the game has its fair share of bozos with awful opinions, especially as it pertains to Black women, and one such show blasted high-earning women by calling them “less attractive” for pursuing financial and professional ascension. Without dignifying the moment too much, the hosts of the Hardly Initiated podcast, Tysean Jackson and Ryan Catchings, invited to their Atlanta, Ga. studios finance guru Phillip Karaya to initially discuss business and finance for their audience. In the one sequence that has everyone talking, Catchings states without flinching that wom...
Louisiana Republican Posts Tweet About ‘Millennial Leftists’ But No One Knows WTF He’s Talking About
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Alex Wong / Getty Here’s the thing: Conservatives really don’t know how to roast. They don’t seem to have much of a grasp on how cleverness or humor actually work, so when they try to insult literally anyone, they either make themselves sound like school bullies who can’t actually fight and are mad girls don’t like them by shouting things like “libtard” and snowflake,” or their “jokes” are lacking in any semblance of comedic subtlety and they’re dryer than Ben Shapiro’s WAP-evaporating sex appeal. It’s why the closest thing right-wingers have to a current stand-up comedian who gets booked for specials is Joe Rogan, and he’s the comedic equivalent of people who post clearly offensive things they agree with online and passive-aggressively caption the post—“...
Twitter Reacts To Viral Sip & Paint Video
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: South_agency / Getty A new viral video has spread across social media (and btw, my use of the words “viral” and “spread” will take on new meanings as you continue to read) and folks on Twitter are having a field day with it. What’s going on in the video reportedly took place during a sip and paint event. Now, for those of you who don’t know what a sip and paint event is, it’s one where patrons drink wine while a professional artist leads them in painting their own art pieces. Some of you might be thinking to yourselves: “Bro, we ain’t stupid and you don’t need to explain to us what a sip and paint event is—it’s pretty much in the title.” Well, yeah, you would think that, wouldn’t you? However, the people depicted in the video may not have understood the a...
Kanye West Airs Out Kardashian Cousin Over Tone Deaf Yeezys Ask
HipHopWired Featured Video CLOSE Source: Dani Abramowicz / Getty If you’re looking for the hottest of messes, Kanye West’s social media accounts will give you your fill. Ye took to Instagram to air out Kim Kardashian’s cousin and allegedly expose their insensitive rhetoric that includes incredulously asking about adidas Yeezy sneakers despite the situation at hand. Unless you’ve been under a rock, you’re probably aware that Ye and Kim Kardashian are feuding publicly about the co-parenting of their children. Overall, it seems that Kanye feels he’s being boxed out of raising his kids, while Kardashian claims she has been beyond reasonable when it comes to Ye spending time with his children, despite their divorce. But on Sunday (Feb. 6), West shared texts that painted Kardashian’s cousins in ...
Awkwafina Quits Twitter After Suspect Blaccent Non-Apology, Slander Continues
HipHopWired Featured Video CLOSE Source: Matt Winkelmeyer / Getty Today (Feb. 5), Asian-American actress Awkwafina took to Twitter to reveal she would be quitting the social media app at the behest of her therapist. But before that, she offered up what’s widely considered a non-apology for her much-maligned use of a “blaccent,” before making her exit. Most everybody except her fiercest fans are calling her out for her far too late mea culpa and dramatic exit. Born Nora Lum, the Queens native copped pleas, years after the fact. After years of what many consider the mocking of Black culture via her liberal use of African-American vernacular English (AAVE), she offered up some quaint words of explanation, including her love of Hip-Hop and where she grew up. “As a non-Black POC, I stand by the...
Kanye West Blasts Kim Kardashian For North West TikTok Account, Ex Returns Fire
HipHopWired Featured Video CLOSE Source: Michael Stewart / Getty Kanye West and Kim Kardashian are airing each other out publicly. Ye is upset that their daughter, North West, was seen on social media site TikTok “against his will,” but he ex-wife has already answered in kind. On Friday, Ye took to Instagram to post a screenshot of the official @kimandnorth TikTok account, but it wasn’t to get her follower count up. Instead, he included an all-caps message. “Since this is my first divorce I need to know what I should do about my daughter being put on [TikTok] against my will?,” said Ye, tagging Kim Kardashian for good measure. Clearly, Kardashian got the message since she has already responded by releasing a statement. She shared a statement via Instagram Stories and she aired out her ex-h...
The Audacity: Jermaine Dupri Admitted To Cheating On Janet Jackson, Black Twitter Is Disgusted
HipHopWired Featured Video CLOSE Source: Christian JENTZ / Gettyaine So Janet Jackson’s Lifetime and A&E documentary concluded last night, and if you’re fan you were probably pleased with the insight. But one particular point that has people in their feelings is Jermaine Dupri admitted that him being “reckless” is what put the kabosh on their 8-year relationship. Shortly after reveal, Jackson said she heard that JD, who she admitted to wanting to start a family with, was cheating on her. Say what now? JD, could have been in happy matrimony with Janet Jackson, and he fumbled the relationship bag. Jackson herself said JD was a nice guy, and the joke was that he clearly had to be in order to bag someone of Jackson’s caliber. But man alive. “One of the weird things is that dating Janet att...
Too Far: Fat Joe Get Clowned For Yeezy Moonboot Fit, Memes Flourish
HipHopWired Featured Video CLOSE Source: @donnellrawlings / Instagram Fat Joe took to Instagram to show off what he thought was a fire fit that featured him wearing those YEEZY NSTLD boots. However, Joe Crack didn’t get the sweeping praise he was surely looking for. Instead, the Bronx rapper opened the door to waves of slander over his audacity to act like those glorified moon boots from the YEEZY brand are flames. Yes, there are people who think so, but please reconsider that decision. Anyway, the fit itself wasn’t too bad; denim, a khaki jacket and a pink hoodie. “Waiting on the snow” was Joe’s caption for the pic he share on IG. But those YEEZY boots got all the attention for all the wrong reasons. Some trusty Timberlands these are not. Soon enough, the photo went viral, and the memes s...
God Awful: Tulsa Pastor Mike Todd Rubbed Spit In Man’s Face, Black Twitter Says Nah Bruh
HipHopWired Featured Video CLOSE Source: YouTube / Youtube Tulsa Pastor Mike Todd is trending nationwide after footage of him spitting in a man’s face, and rubbing it in, went viral. It goes without saying that Twitter had plenty of thoughts, mostly about clout chasing, suspect preachers and putting hands on the man of the cloth. During a sermon at the Transformation Church in Tulsa on Sunday (January 16), Todd could be seen wiping his spit on the face of a parishioner while noting that “receiving God’s vision can sometimes be nasty.” Sure, but how about you catch these hands, bruh? Also, you do know there’s whole pandemic outside, right? The crowd in attendance could audibly be heard gasping. While Christians can be the most divided of the bunch, the overall consensus is leaning tow...
