Baes & Baddies, Hip-Hop Wired’s spotlight on beautiful women is back again and this time, we’re taking it to South America to feature the beautiful Gil aka @diasdegil. We don’t know much about Gil, but we can say she’s an absolute knockout.
All we know about Gil aka @diasdegil so far is that she hails from Rio de Janeiro and she’s active on both Instagram, where we discovered her, and also her TikTok page. From what we can determine, the lovely Gil appears to be Afro-Brazilian and stuns in any outfit she puts on. The curves are there along with a million-dollar smile that’ll light up any timeline.
With much of her content delivered in her native tongue of Portuguese, we’re unable to determine what she’s sharing with her loving audience but it really shouldn’t matter when you have the visual power Gil commands.
Check out our latest Baes & Baddies entry, Gil aka @diasdegil in the gallery below.

Sen. Tim Scott has entered his name into the presidential race sweepstakes and he appears to be landing near the bottom according to some reports. The South Carolina senator saw his name trending on X, formerly known as Twitter, earlier on Wednesday (September 20) most especially for his being against the idea of unionized workers.
A recent video of Sen. Tim Scott on the campaign trail displayed him decrying the efforts of the ongoing United Auto Workers strike, evoking the union-busting ideas of President Ronald Reagan.
“I think Ronald Reagan gave us a great example when federal employees decided they were gonna strike. You strike, you’re fired. Simple concept to me,” Scott is seen saying in the clip below courtesy of The Recount
Further, political commentator Keith Boykin recently put out a video dissecting Scott’s jab at the Republican Party for dredging up negative ideas about him because he’s surging in the polls.
As Boykin noted in a two-part video last week, Scott is not a frontrunner, as Donald Trump and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis own the lion’s share of the interest among GOP voters. Boykin suggests that Scott is not directly living his truth and is hiding the fact from his party that he might be gay.
Sen. Tim Scott is currently taking a lot of shots on X at the moment. Keep scrolling to see some of those comments below.

Papoose and Remy Ma endured hardships en route to marrying one another and becoming a living symbol of Black love triumphing over all. Now, fans are leaning into fast-moving rumors that Remy Ma cheated on Trigger Happy Pappy with a buzzing battle rapper although nothing has been remotely confirmed.
Remy Ma saw her name attached to rumors that she was involved with Philadelphia battle rapper Eazy The Block Captain, who faced off against Compton’s Geechi Gotti over the weekend at Chrome 23: I Do What I Want in Eazy’s hometown.
During a point of the battle, Geechi rapped directly at Remy, who founded Chrome 23, referencing her husband Papoose and the alleged rumors that she hooked up with Eazy, leading to Pap knocking the Philly rapper out.
Battle rap is usually just good theater and Geechi delivered his bars with his usual aggressive intensity with Remy looking around and past him, sparking some to think the raps he was spitting were true facts.
Eazy didn’t do much to discredit the allegations, considering he rapped at one point that if he got socked out by Pap, he still got the woman. We don’t need to explain that none of the raps referenced above were delivered in this vanilla manner. The “B” word was thrown around quite a bit.
After the match, the YouTube channel 15 Minutes of Fame caught up with Remy, who spoke about the battle and said that she wasn’t moved by any of the shots because that’s what battle rap is about. She also fired back at Geechi and warned that he doesn’t have too many more times to refer to her as the “B” word. Check out that interview below.

In all of this, Papoose has yet to address the allegations regarding his wife but fans on Instagram are taking the rumors and asking the Brooklyn rapper wild flagrant questions about his spouse and their marital status.
Check out the reactions below.

Sen. John Fetterman found himself trending on the X, formerly known as Twitter, Tuesday morning (September 19) in the wake of the uproar over the Pennsylvanian’s casual style of dress despite it not harming a soul. Sen. Fetterman, savvy on social media, has been waving off the potshots from conservative talking heads and his GOP counterparts in elected office with ease.
Sen. John Fetterman was the target of a Fox News report regarding his style of dress, which includes hoodies, unbuttoned and untucked shirts, and basketball shorts, none of which hindered his ability to serve the people of his home state.
Quoting the tweet from Fox News, Fetterman wrote, “I figure if I take up vaping and grabbing the hog during a live musical, they’ll make me a folk hero.”
This was in reference to Rep. Lauren Boebert vaping during a Beetlejuice musical in Denver, Colo.
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene then used X to fire a shot at Fetterman, of course neglecting her own gaffes and stances while doing so.
“The Senate no longer enforcing a dress code for Senators to appease Fetterman is disgraceful,” she writes. “Dress code is one of society’s standards that set etiquette and respect for our institutions. Stop lowering the bar!”
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, he of tumbling poll numbers in his bid to win the White House back for the GOP, took shots at Fetterman’s clothing while on the campaign trail in Jacksonville on Monday (September 18), you know, hard-hitting policy talk that the American people care about.
“So he would campaign in that, which is your prerogative, right? I mean, if that’s what you want to do, but to show up in the United States Senate with that, and not have the decency to put on proper attire. I think it’s disrespectful to the body,” DeSantis said.
Quoting a video of Gov. DeSantis’ stump speech, Fetterman wrote, “I dress like he campaigns,” shutting it all down.
Adding to all of this are MAGA tinfoil types who think that recent appearances of Sen. Fetterman is that of a body double and he’s handling those doofs with the same smoothness as well.
Salute to Sen. John Fetterman. Keep scrolling to check out the reactions and chatter from all sides below.

Jeezy and Jeannie Mai seemed to be one of the more solid celebrity unions today but it appears that things are changing in the Jenkins household. Jeezy has reportedly filed for divorce from Jeannie Mai, who share a young child together after just over two years of marriage.
According to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, Jeezy, real name Jay Jenkins, filed for divorce in Fulton County Superior Court in Georgia. It isn’t known what day the rapper and author made the court filing.
Jeezy is seeking joint legal custody of the couple’s toddler daughter. According to the outlet, the pair are already legally separated and a prenuptial agreement is also in place.
The couple began dating after Jeezy was a guest on Mai’s former talk show, The Real, where she served as one of the co-hosts. Based on the couple’s public image, it appeared to be a strong relationship but apparently, that perspective is shifted.
A public statement from the pair has yet to be issued.
If Instagram is any indication of pain or heartbreak, none was witnessed on their respective pages, as can be seen in the posts below.
On X, formerly known as Twitter, the reactions to the news are pouring in and they’re all over the place. We added some for viewing below. Keep in mind that we’re just reporting what we saw and are not offering further opinions on the matter.

Jonathan Majors is currently embroiled in a domestic violence case that has seen court proceedings delayed time and again, but the actor is back in the public eye. In what some users on X are calling curiously timed, Jonathan Majors was seen on video breaking up a fight between two high schoolers and the negative reactions have been relentless.
In a video obtained by TMZ, the clip shows two young students fighting one another at Hollywood High School when Jonathan Majors comes into the shot and gets the pair to stop fighting but not before they kept trying to go at one another. The outlet spoke with Majors in West Hollywood sometime after the fight and the actor said that he just wanted to make sure the young students were okay.
Given that Majors is in need of a major PR makeover, some on X, formerly known as Twitter, believe that the timing of the fight video and the clip itself raised more questions than anything. As TMZ noted, the school is across from the famous burger chain In-N-Out and apparently that’s where Majors was during this scuffle.
While the video is somewhat blurry, Majors towered over the students, and his customary puffy hat was also in tow. Still, despite the intentions laid out by the star, folks on X are simply not having it and the jokes have commenced.
However, to Majors’ credit, the fight was definitely real after several students and a Hollywood High School confessions page confirmed the facts. We doubt that Majors’ PR team would stoop this low anyway, but stranger things have happened.
We’ve got a few X replies for you to peruse below. Make your own determination.

The 2023 MTV VMAs took place last night at the Prudential Center in Newark, N.J. on Wednesday (September 12) and the live show was the grand spectacle most hoped for. While not everything went smoothly as expected during a live event, Hip-Hop Wired takes a look at the biggest and Blackest moments of the 2023 MTV VMAs.
The VMAs, short for MTV Video Music Awards, is now in its 39th year. Given that this year the 50th anniversary of Hip-Hop is being widely celebrated, many fixtures of the culture had their big moment during the awards ceremony.
Opening the show was Lil Wayne, who came out to a portion of Juvenile’s “Back That Azz Up” before launching into a two-song medley of “Uproar” with live drums behind him, and a new track “Kat Food,” both appearing to be crowdpleasers. On social media and via the MTV cameras, celebrities and attendees alike were off their feet.
While Weezy F. Baby had the crowd in the palm of his hand, the screams from the crowd for Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion were so loud that they bled into the performance of Bardi’s new single, “Bongos,” and there were indeed bongo players to complete the stage look.
Doja Cat ran through a medley of “Attention,” “Paint The Town Red,” and her latest single, “Demons” and if the reaction from social media is any indication, it may have been the performance of the night.
Diddy, who won the Global Icon VMA last night, also performed a medley of familiar Bad Boy hits with assistance from Yung Miami, Keyshia Cole, and Diddy’s son, King Combs. Diddy’s energy was infectious and had the entire venue rocking.
Metro Boomin looked through his stacked Rolodex for his medley performance of “Superhero” and “Calling” with Future, Swae Lee, A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie, and NAV on the assist for a vibed-out affair.
Nicki Minaj, who stepped away from emceeing the event to deliver a quick two-song performance got the crowd going with a rendition of “Last Time I Saw You” and an unnamed track from her upcoming Pink Friday 2 project.
Last but certainly not least, Hip-Hop’s 50th anniversary couldn’t be ignored and an epic 10-minute performance still barely scratched the surface but Grandmaster Flash & The Furious Five, Slick Rick, Doug E. Fresh, Nicki Minaj, Lil Watyyne LL COOL J, and Daryl “D.M.C.” Daniels all turned in a performance that was arguably the best of the night.
The 2023 MTV VMAs was a spectacular night for the culture and impressive as it was all live so mistakes couldn’t be avoided but the professionalism and passion were still a sight to see. Keep scrolling to see the aforementioned moments we wrote about above.

Danelo Cavalcante, the escaped murderer who made a daring escape from a Pennsylvania prison, has been caught after a manhunt was launched to bring him back behind bars. Cavalcante was captured without incident by a massive tactical force of various law enforcement agencies, bringing to a close the chase after the convicted murderer who eluded authorities for weeks.
As reported by local outlet Fox 29, Danelo Cavalcante, 34, was found in Pottstown, Pa., a small town northwest of Philadelphia around 8 a.m. Wednesday (September 13). The manhunt for Cavalcante, a native of Brazil, began after he escaped Chester County Prison on August 31 by climbing a prison wall, then bypassing razor wire before jumping from a roof to the other side.
From the onset, Cavalcante found ways to evade the clutches of the authorities and managed to steal a van aiding in his escape. While the trail remained warm for officials seeking Cavalcante, he found ways to alter his appearance and survived by sleeping in nearby woods, breaking into homes to steal food, and even getting hold of a light firearm.
According to sources speaking to Fox 29, Cavalcante was found at a John Deere dealership in Pottstown with a .22-caliber rifle. According to the Associated Press, Cavalcante was found using thermal imaging which directed the authorities to his location. Reports say that Cavalcante was possibly bitten by a police dog in the hunt.
Earlier this year, Cavalcante was handed down a life sentence for the 2021 murder of his girlfriend, stabbing her to death in front of her children. Cavalcante was also sought by Brazilian authorities in connection to a shooting death.
On X, reactions from observers range from relief to some making light jokes about the fact that Danelo Cavalcante was caught wearing a Philadelphia Eagles jersey. We’ve got a handful of reactions from all sides below.

B.G., a rapper who got his start with Cash Money Records, served over a decade behind bars. On Tuesday, the New Orleans rapper was freed from prison and his fomer label boss Birdman was among the first people to greet him.
B.G., real name Christopher Noel Dorsey, just celebrated his 43rd birthday on September 3 and shared a post on Instagram that it would be his last while incarcerated. It was understood that the rapper also known as Baby Gangsta would be seeing freedom after news went wide last week.
Birdman took to social media and shared the heartwarming moment between him and his one-time protege. Today, B.G. sports long locs and a much bulkier frame and appeared to be in good spirits as he embraced his label boss and friends.
B.G.’s legal woes date back to 2009 after he was pulled over by police in New Orleans via a routine traffic stop. A search of the vehicle turned up three guns, two of which were reportedly stolen. B.G. was charged on an illegal weapons charge and entered a not guilty plea in 2010. However, due to other developments in the case involving other passengers in the vehicle, the prosecution brought an additional charge of conspiracy to obstruct justice.
One of the passengers attempted to take responsibility for the guns but it was determined by prosecutors that the affidavit signed by the passenger was false. That person was sentenced to 20 years in prison while the other passenger was hit with 30 months, according to what was found online
After pleading guilty to two counts of possession of a firearm and one count of conspiracy to obstruct justice, B.G. was sentenced to 14 years on July 18. 2012.
As a member of the Hot Boys collectible with Lil Wayne, Turk, and Juvenile, B.G. saw fame on the charts early on. That same success was replicated on his third album Chopper City in the Ghetto, and Checkmate, his final under the Cash Money Records imprint.
On Twitter, images of B.G. and Birdman have been circulating with others chiming in with congratulations for the newly-freed rapper.
