At least 19 people are dead and hundreds more have suffered injuries following a possible suicide bombing after an Ariana Grande concert in Manchester, England. Multiple loud bangs were heard at the Manchester Arena on Monday night (May 22), according to NBC News.
Information is sparse at the moment, but law enforcement sources say there may have been two explosions. Preliminary reports indicate a single explosion took place outside the arena on the southwest side opposite the train station as people were exiting the venue.
Greater Manchester Police confirmed multiple casualties and injuries occurred. U.S. officials state that some of the deaths may have been caused by a stampede of concert attendees.
Ariana Grande and the other performers were reportedly unharmed. A rep for Grande issued a statement to assuage fans’ fears.
“Ariana is okay,” the representative said. “We are further investigating what happened.”
Boston rapper Bia, who opened up for Grande, also let her Twitter followers know she was fine following the incident.
“GUYS WE ARE OKAY !!!” she wrote “THANK YOU WE LOVE YOU ??❤️”
She deleted the initial tweet, but then sent out well wishes to concert attendees.
Several people took to Twitter to share their thoughts and prayers are with the city of Manchester. Nicki Minaj — who has collaborated with Ariana Grande before —Chuck D, TM88, Dreamville’s Elite and more offered their condolences to those affected by the tragedy.
HipHopDX sends its condolences to the families and friends of those who were killed in the Manchester bombing.
Come on man. What if somebody you knew or loved was there.
They weren’t so whatever.
You better learn some empathy, karma is a bitch.
Yup, exactly. These kids are really surprising me in ways unimaginable.
“Don’t know anyone there so I don’t care tbh.”, “That’s some sad shit but what does it have to do with hip-hop? I ain’t coming here to read about kids dieing.” or the already truly intelligent “They weren’t so whatever.” on your comment. Only straight up dumb, ignorant, narcistic muthafuckas would drop remarks like the ones mentioned above. Congrats on being one of God’s mistakes.
man they are really feelin the hook nosed bankers wrath for trying to leave the EU. typical CIA/MOSSAD/MI5 false flag psyOp.
That’s some sad shit but what does it have to do with hip-hop? I ain’t coming here to read about kids dieing.
But “y” not? News is news.
See Arianna? Ya fucked around and licked the wrong crumpet and this shit happens.
Here come the people with the aluminum foil hats on to tell us that this is a “false flag” and that they’re just distracting us from what’s REALLY going on… When it comes to the light that Muslims radicals did this, who will be surprised?
here come the useful idiots of the zionist to tell us that this is a islamic terror attack to distract us from what’s REALLY going on
Here is how you stop a coward terrorist who blows themselves up.. You murk their entire family. It sounds barbaric but this is the only way to get them to stop. Them dying is easy, but them knowing their family will be wiped away from existence could stop this Shit.
the perpetrator is just a patsy. it’s the ones that are pulling the strings behind the scenes that should be held responsbile.
Yeah maaaaaaaannnnnnn…. the government is out to get us!!!! Those stupid spinner things the kids are going crazy about are part of the “plan” too. You conspiracy theorists should be out changing the world by exposing some shit rather than being in the ‘comments section’ of a middling music website. Weirdos. Jordan Face smears mayonnaise on his walls to keep the gamma rays out… he’s also a queer.
Don’t know anyone there so I don’t care tbh.
This is why Muslims should be deported. Fuck Islam.
preach!!!! islamic terrorists don’t belong here ? their prophet was a pedo
neither does christianity or judaism for both of them are also middle-eastern abrahamic desert invader religions that don’t belong in europe or america – just like the oh so bad islam you retards keep rambling about. i bet you support the zionist Usrael bombing middle-east, yet you have the nerve to complain about refugees pouring into the west. last i checked in the year 2016 alone the US dropped over 27.000 bombs on countries that it’s not officially even at war with. why the fuck would muslims do these so called ‘islamic terror attacks’? it’s not like they really benefit from these, is it? no. these events only increase islamophobia and the demonization of islamic countries and their peoples. who benefits from that? oh yeah, the same ones who are bombing their countries, as these events are used to justify those actions.
I’ll reply to the 2nd half of your comment. You say that islamic terror doesn’t even exist? You are a special kind of stupid. Yes, our govt does fucked up things, but we’re at war with an enemy who is so pussy they attack kids at an Ariana Grande concert, civilians riding the train to work, etc. These pig-boofing bastards will cut your head off the first chance they get. Kill Em all!

Get off your soapbox you fucking loser. Yeah USA government are fucking up the world and dropping bombs and killing children and innocents in the process, I condemn them for that. But how can you not condemn the DELIBERATE killing of children and young people by these Islamist lunatics? Plus your opinion means nothing, you weirdo. you’re the same idiot who’s constantly trolling blacks on here with all that “dindu nuffin” bullshit. You even did it in a story on here after an innocent black child was murdered by police.
“DELIBERATE killing of children and young people” you mean like what the zionist did in Gaza, Mosul etc?
I already said I was critical of the USA’s actions, and I agree that Israel are no better for their treatment of the Palestinian people.What I’m pissed about is that these fuckers didn’t target government, police or army, they went to an Ariana Grande concert who’s main fan base are kids. That’s fucking sick. I don’t hear you condemning this sick shit. Sounds like you’re supporting this type of murder of innocent youth. And you have some serious double standards, going on about how bad Muslims have it, when you’re clearly racist against blacks. We all know that from your retarded trolling on this site.
Muslims are ruining the West
Thank you for the cenzorship, DX.
I hope you die soon. Right after your mom.
DX approves 4 comments hating and insulting innocent Muslims, then deletes my comment, which is against racism and discrimination.
Your innocent muslims dont do nothing to stop terrorism that is coming from within of their muslim communities. It’s not jws, christians or buddhists thats doing all of this stuff, they dont do none of this in fact. Your moderate muslims preach peace and hold peoples hands from fighting radicals, while they do their thing. And If more people represent islam by blowing themselves up than those who peacefully preach then what is islam? And preaching wont give back those lives lost due to terror acts. And they dont even get that they have to behave, if the civilized world would have declared a war on them – their little countries would cease to exist, become complete deserts. Peaceful muslims fail to represent, terrorists create an image of how radical islam is, and its becoming real, so nothing bad in those stereotypes.
how much does Netanyahu pay you for spewing this false information across the internets?
Hey Jordan Facial. Here’s one for your conspiracy theory loving ass: Who’s the only president you can’t find with a search engine????………..Benjamin Not On Yahoo.
*prime minister, “Bibi” was never a president.
They were really going after Ariana Grande but were too late.
Sounds like her concert was da bomb yo!
Like…DJ KHALAD?!
ariana must be really scared right now, she must be sucking her finger non stop
She sucks her thumb, not her finger.
So who do you think did this and what was their background? Was it a white supremacist? A Japanese imperialist? A Hindu revolutionary?
Oh wait, maybe it was another believer in the “religion of peace”?
More like religion of piss
lets take this moment to remind yall that ariana grande is a fucking mind control slave, thats into kabbalah and got raised as a child star by nickelodeon in the middle of the pedophile paradise
Wth are you even talking about?
Shit your lazy brain dead ass has no clue about*Research turd*
I’m not going to waste my time doing research on “Mind control slaves”
These Muslim fucks need to nuked off the planet once and for all. Then weed out the rest and neutralize the filthy rats.
This is terrible. If you voted for Trump or didn’t vote at all, you’re part of the problem.
Ahh there it is….
Hope he deports all those goat fuckers and make America great.
What does this have to do with hiphop? Man, you guys post anything
Oh but didn’t you know, she used to date small Sean and is dating Mac miller, which in the eyes of the Dx tards technically makes her hiphop.
Yep prolly some little Paki or Arab f.aggot loner who watched too many I-sees videos.
Fake terrorist attack. YOuTube channel russianvids exposes these hollywood staged terrorist attack.
Reading most reactions to this thread, the only conclusion that pops up is that most Hip Hop fans truly are among the most ignorant, stupid people on this planet. Totally brainless, non-emphatic suckas. Equivalent to scum of the earth.
What happens when you don’t have moderators on an open forum where you dont need to sign in, in order to post comments? TROLLS. This site is littered with them. Hiphopdx is a troll factory and they do nothing to fix their problem. Fools.
Exactly, DX is as much a part of the problem as those trolls are. This site could’ve been much more interesting, and a place for serious, constructive discussions about anything hip hop as well as actual newsworthy items, if they had moderators monitoring the comments, but I guess DX is content with the site just having traffic
With all due respect for HHDX and its staff, I ask you to explain about the comment deletions. I didn’t troll. I just talked about the difference between Islam and Terrorist Islam. Explanation from official dx writers would be appreciated.
communist chinese style censorship has become the norm in america now. hhdx algorithms are horrible though, because most of the racist troll shit gets through no problem. facebook, youtube, twitter, etc. will censor, delete, or label your posts as controversial/fake/sensitive material if you share your thoughts on muslims or islam.
Do we not remember the anti-America rant that Ariana Grande went on just only two years ago at a doughnut shop? “I hate America, I hate Americans” she proclaimed, while licking donuts that were on display. I’m glad everyone is so tolerant these days of anti-american sentiment and she was given yet another chance to continue her career unfettered…. I am sorry this person has a fan base… and i’m sure 99% probably don’t share her hatefulness and resentment toward America and the American people, but were unfortunately innocent victims of this hate driven attack.
