TMZ Hip Hop

The Game got on his soap box at his birthday party ... grabbing the mic and telling the world to free Diddy and R. Kelly ... and then he started talking baby oil and urination ... and it's all on video.

TMZ obtained footage from The Game's Friday night birthday bash in Hollywood, and you hear him voice support for a couple of infamous musicians ... Diddy and Kelly.

The Game gets bolder and bolder as he spouts off into the mic ... making light of all the baby oil and urination aspects of the Diddy and Kelly trials ... as some R. Kelly music starts to play.

The Chicago Bulls took two L's during the Black Friday matchup against the Charlotte Hornets ... in the actual game and in the fan department, after DaBaby exposed a couple of fair-weather fans as bigger supporters of his than of the team!!!

DaBaby was spotted strolling through Spectrum Center when a female fan asked him to take a pic -- which he happily obliged.

The guys she was with, however, were draped in Chicago Bulls jerseys and DaBaby flat-out refused to flick it up until they stripped them off ... they agreed without blinking.

Shaggy was one of the handful of musicians who rushed to aid Jamaica with resources and awareness to the destruction caused by Hurricane Melissa ... but the country isn't out of the danger zone yet!!!

TMZ caught up with Mr. Boombastic in NYC last week ... the reggae legend was on another awareness mission for a big fundraising relief concert going down there next month.

Shaggy kept it real ... his and the existing efforts have gone a long way, but says 60-70% of the island is still without electricity or water, and things might not bounce back until February -- whatever you're seeing online is 100% worse!!!

Sean "Diddy" Combs is steaming mad at Netflix and 50 Cent ... because he's going scorched earth on a new docuseries that's about to hit the streaming service.

In a statement, Juda Engelmayer, a spokesperson for Diddy, tells TMZ ... "Netflix's so-called 'documentary' is a shameful hit piece" and "confirms that Netflix relied on stolen footage that was never authorized for release."

As you know, 50 promoted the docuseries Monday on "Good Morning America" before its Tuesday release on Netflix, and he previewed never-before-seen footage of Diddy recorded just prior to his September 2024 arrest.

50 also had a very different view on what Diddy's reaction would be to the series, saying the music mogul would think it was "amazing" and "the best documentary I've seen in a long time" with the exception of some bits and pieces. 50 added that Diddy would ultimately "see the truth in it."

Post Malone may have more on his mind than his recent Grammy nominations ... 'cause it looks like the singer is spending some downtime with a potential mystery woman ... and they're matching!!!

Eyewitness tells TMZ ... Posty was out shopping with the mystery woman and two bodyguards on Saturday at a local Trader Joe’s in Salt Lake City.

We're told the couple shopped for a while ... and even though people left him alone for the most part ... our source says the couple shared a few kisses while they browsed.

Megan Thee Stallion and Milagro "Gramz" Cooper's intense courtroom battle is over ... with a jury handing the superstar rapper a big win over her blogging nemesis.

TMZ Hip Hop caught up with Megan as she left the Florida courtroom Monday with her legal team and her former manager Travis Farris right after the verdict was read. As you'd expect, she said she was "happy" the legal ordeal was over.

The jury awarded Megan $75K in damages, which breaks down like this -- $15K for defamation, $8K for emotional distress, $50K for a deep fake porn posted online and an additional $2K for punitive damages and emotional distress.

Under Florida law, Milagro is also liable for Megan's legal fees, so she could be on the hook for way more than the $75K.

The bad news for Megan is we also caught up with Milagro ... who told us she's unsure she can foot that bill.

Papoose wants ALL THE SMOKE with the hip hop music he considers trash and poisoning the culture -- and flipped a full 11-minute mini movie to prove his point!!!

The veteran MC collaborated with producer Sean2 Miles, and for their 5-song EP, "Bars On Wheels: A Journey To Save Hip Hop," and spliced together all the music videos for a full cinematic blowout.

Directed by Daniel Curtis Lee, and presented by Wynn Records -- where Pap serves as its Head of Hip Hop -- Pap morphs from rap pusher, to Hip Hop cop, to ambulance spot rusher, to rap ambusher ... all the way down to the Undertaker lowering the casket 6-feet deep.

Rapper POORSTACY is dead ... and it sounds like he may have taken his own life.

The death of POORSTACY -- legal name Carlito Milfort -- was confirmed by the Palm Beach County Medical Examiner ... the Boca Raton Police Dept. told TMZ he died early Saturday in the city.

A Boca Raton hotel worker tells TMZ ... POORSTACY was transported to a local hospital for a medical emergency Saturday morning ... he was the only one hospitalized. We're told the rapper had been staying for 10 days at the hotel ... he had checked in with a woman and a toddler. No one else was reported injured Saturday.

Blueface's ex Jaidyn Alexis recently appeared on the "Plug Talk" podcast -- and the biggest takeaway the rapper came away with is that he's down to "plug" Adam22's wife, Lena!!!

Adam talked up his admiration for Blueface -- only for Jaidyn to warn him that her baby daddy wouldn't have any problems attempting to sex down Lena behind his back.

Lena floated the sex tape idea would be a possibility if they could make big money from filming it -- and Blueface confirmed Jaidyn's hunch in an IG post that he would indeed bang Lena ... sorry, Adam!!!

50 Cent's new docuseries on Sean "Diddy" Combs is dropping Tuesday on Netflix ... but we're now getting a sneak peek into some of the highlights ... including never-before-seen footage of the music mogul just prior to his September 2024 arrest.

50 sat down Monday with "Good Morning America" host Robin Roberts, as well as Alexandria Stapleton, the director of "Sean Combs: The Reckoning," to discuss the docuseries. Robin starts by asking the two whether they were surprised Diddy filmed the days leading up to his arrest by federal authorities in NYC.

As you know, Diddy was federally charged with racketeering, sex trafficking, and the Mann Act -- illegally transporting prostitutes across state lines. He was ultimately found guilty of 2 counts of the Mann Act and sentenced to 4 years in prison at trial.

Klay Thompson's sticking with nautical tradition -- naming his boat after a woman -- namely, his rapper better half Megan Thee Stallion!

The 4-time NBA champion shared a series of pics chronicling the Dallas Mavericks' recent West Coast road trip as well as his Thanksgiving meal ... captioning the post, "West coastin’."

Buried in the photo dump's a picture of the back of his boat ... which he's named the "S.S. Stallion" ... clearly a reference to Megan.

Ray J jumped on Kick after getting booted from Twitch -- fresh outta jail, mind you -- and wasted no time unpacking the madness ... including a wild claim that some dude was literally j*rking off under his bunk.😳

Yep, that actually happened -- according to Ray, who said Thursday he almost swung on the guy ... while the dude was apparently calling his name while doing the deed. As you can see, the poor man sitting behind Ray on the stream looked absolutely traumatized!

Ray’s final PSA? "Never go to jail, y’all." Hard to argue with that.

Sean Combs' fellow inmates were expecting a bleak Thanksgiving, but that all changed with a well-organized and well-funded plan by SC himself.

Diddy, through his rep, tells TMZ ... he worked with an internal group called Bankroll Bosses. He and others bought food from the commissary, spent 2 days preparing it, and distributed it to every housing unit at Fort Dix.

Diddy told us, “Thanksgiving, to me, is about making sure other people eat. Everybody misses their family. People get depressed during the holidays. We just wanted to come together as a family and do our own thing.”

Princess Love is not buying what Ray J is selling, at least according to a new post in the wake of Ray's arrest for allegedly threatening his estranged wife with a gun.

Princess Love reposted a series of quotes about gaslighting, and it doesn't take a rocket scientist to connect the dots and conclude these are sentiments Ray J has expressed to her, including. "'No, you're acting a little bit crazy. What happened was (completely new scenario that didn't occur at all) - that's the truth.'"

And there's more ..."'You're just trying to confuse everyone so you get to come out on top and control the narrative. We all know why you're doing this, so just stop."

Princess Love isn't holding back ... breaking her silence after an explosive live stream altercation with Ray J -- which ended with him getting hauled off to jail.

Princess posted a video on IG Thursday afternoon with the caption, “Enough is enough” ... speaking directly to Ray and unloading frustration about co-parenting and the chaos she says comes with it.

She insists she would never put her kids -- Melody and Epik -- in danger ... and that includes “leaving them with a man who’s waving a gun around” -- a direct shot at Ray J, who was seen holding a handgun during the live stream.
