peace y'all it's your boy Johnny fastan
0:02
here with allhiphop.com so Wendy
0:05
Williams lover or hater she's been a
0:07
polarizing figure in hip-hop for decades
0:10
and her relationship with hip-hop
0:12
artists have been well let's just say
0:16
interesting Wendy has never been one to
0:18
hold back and that's gotten to her in
0:20
some beasts with rappers over the years
0:22
remember her comments about AIA after
0:24
her tragic death or the time that she
0:26
came after 50 cents finances yeah that a
0:29
really go over too well and let's not
0:32
forget her Feud of Remy M things got
0:34
really heated there in this video we'll
0:37
discuss Why hip hop hates Wendy Williams
0:52
hip-hop Wendy Williams got her start in
0:55
radio in New York City all the way back
0:57
in 1989 where she was hired as a Fillin
1:00
DJ at 98.7 KISS FM then she worked at
1:04
Hot 97 in Philly and then finally back
1:07
in New York to work for WBLS this is
1:10
where she built a reputation for being
1:12
outspoken and candid not only about
1:14
celebrity gossip but about her own life
1:17
as well now it's not all bad blood Wendy
1:20
Williams and Charlamagne the God have a
1:22
long and complicated history they worked
1:25
together they feuded and now they're
1:27
kind of like frenemies almost recently
1:30
Charlamagne the God campaigned for Wendy
1:32
Williams to be let out of her
1:34
conservative ship more on that later
1:37
first let's take a look at some issues
1:38
that hip-hop artists have had with Wendy
1:41
Williams over the years back in the 90s
1:43
Wendy Williams called Diddy then Puff
1:46
Daddy a monster and at the time we loved
1:49
puff so hip hop started looking at Wendy
1:51
Williams a little sideways in 2001 when
1:55
Aaliyah tragically passed Wendy Williams
1:57
spoke about her romantic relationships
1:59
with R Kelly and Dame Dash instead of
2:01
focusing on the tragedy many people
2:04
found that insensitive in 2015 Wendy
2:07
Williams called 50 Cent broke when he
2:09
filed for chapter 11 bankruptcy and he
2:12
promptly responded we at The Wendy
2:15
Show so now you see it me and Wendy
2:18
Williams making up while Remy Ma was
2:20
locked up Wendy Williams had a lot to
2:22
say about her and her legal issues when
2:24
Remy Ma got released she said that she
2:26
felt disrespected by Wendy Williams as
2:29
well I mean you get the picture this is
2:31
literally just a handful of hundreds of
2:34
examples in her later years Wendy
2:36
Williams definitely toned down her
2:38
retoric maybe it's the social and
2:40
political climate or maybe she's just
2:42
getting old in 2024 lifetime released a
2:46
four episode documentary about Wendy
2:48
Williams alcohol induced dementia at
2:51
this point she's not able to do her show
2:53
anymore she's also been appointed a
2:55
guardian by the state of New York
2:57
because they believe that she's not able
2:58
to take care of herself or her finances
3:01
Wendy Williams is currently living in an
3:03
assisted living facility in Manhattan
3:05
New York under 24-hour supervision she's
3:09
not allowed to leave or even speak on
3:11
the phone and all of this is supposedly
3:13
for her own safety she's also been
3:16
diagnosed with Graves disease since that
3:19
documentary aired it seems like the
3:21
hip-hop Community lightened up on Wendy
3:23
Williams a little bit no one was happy
3:25
to see her in that vulnerable position
3:27
and many people have called lifetime
3:29
Tess for even showing her like that at
3:32
this point Advocates like Charlamagne
3:35
Jason Lee and even civil rights attorney
3:37
Ben Crump are all in Wendy Williams
3:40
Corner whether you agree with Wendy
3:42
Williams or not you have to admit she's
3:44
a polarizing figure in Hip Hop and
3:46
there'll never be anyone like her we're
3:48
