Cardi B spared no venom, toxins, or ether towards her opps with her explosive new album, "Am I The Drama?" -- she's lyrically kickin' ass and naming names!!!

The album took 7 years to drop, and Cardi doesn't hold back on her feelings about superstardom, her divorce with Offset, and pesky rap competition ... ESPECIALLY when it comes to rapper BIA.

Cardi and BIA have had their back-and-forth beef for years and on the track "Pretty & Petty," Cardi snipes the "Whole Lotta Money" rapper with an opening line that already lives in hip hop infamy ... "Name five BIA songs, gun pointin' to your head -- Bow, I'm dead."

In an eyebrow-raising turn in an interview with Fox News Thursday, Donald Trump claimed Charlie Kirk might not be against the idea of "hate speech" following his murder.

Check out the clip ... Martha MacCallum notes the late conservative activist said he did not believe in the concept of hate speech -- and Trump quickly counters, saying ... "He might not be saying that now."

Just last year, Charlie tweeted ..."Hate speech does not exist legally in America," adding ... "There's ugly speech. There's gross speech. There's evil speech. And ALL of it is protected by the First Amendment."

The autopsy for De'Martravion "Trey" Reed -- a black student found hanging from a tree this week at Delta State University -- has been completed ... and officials have determined his manner of death was suicide.

The Cleveland Police Department announced an autopsy performed by the Mississippi State Medical Examiner's Office was "consistent with the initial investigation, determining the cause of death to be hanging and the manner of death as suicide."

Final toxicology results are still pending, and can take between 2 and 4 weeks, police noted. They also said "all files and investigative material" have been sent to the FBI and the U.S. Attorney's Office for further review.

Jimmy Kimmel isn't letting his show's suspension rain on his parade -- he was seen smilin' wide as he stepped out of his car in Los Angeles Thursday afternoon.

Perhaps his fellow late-night show hosts having his back has him feeling extra loved after ABC swiftly booted 'Live!' off the air following pressure from FCC Chair Brendan Carr, who threatened to "take action" following Jimmy's remarks about Charlie Kirk's alleged shooter and his political affiliation.

As we reported ... many of Jimmy's Hollywood colleagues have spoken out to defend him, with Jimmy Fallon, Seth Meyers, Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert all criticizing the move on their respective shows.

TMZ Sports has obtained video from the moments after Raja Jackson was arrested on a felony charge of battery with serious bodily injury ... and in the footage, you can see Quinton "Rampage" Jackson's son was not pleased to be in 'cuffs.

We're told the arrest took place at around 9 AM on Thursday at an apartment complex in Huntington Beach, CA ... after officers executed an arrest warrant.

Raja can be seen in the clip being escorted away from a residence by two police officers. Wearing a jacket and pants, he seemed ticked, and at one point, he appeared to question why a bystander was recording the situation.

Jon Stewart is using heavy sarcasm to rip into Donald Trump ... this on the heels of Jimmy Kimmel getting suspended by ABC over his remarks about Charlie Kirk's killer.

"The Daily Show" host made an unusual appearance on the show Thursday -- he's typically only behind the desk on Mondays -- as the show rolled out a complete makeover, poking fun at the president.

Before Stewart appears in a Trump-like outfit against a golden decor backdrop ... the show's announcer says, "From Comedy Central, it’s the all-new government-approved ‘Daily Show’ with your patriotically obedient host, Jon Stewart."

Quinton "Rampage" Jackson said his son was back home and "doing OK" hours after he was booked for felony battery on Thursday ... telling his buddies he's well aware of the fact Raja "f***ed up."

Rampage went live on Kick following the 25-year-old's arrest ... and at one point, he opened up on the aftermath of the Knokx Pro Wrestling scandal that left Syko Stu (aka Stuart Smith) hospitalized.

"I'm doing OK, I'm holding up well," Rampage said ... adding he understands the situation is no longer under his control.

Stefon Diggs went all out for Cardi B's big night ... gifting his girl a flower surprise so big, it had to be delivered on a flatbed truck!!

The touching gesture went down Thursday in New York City ... just hours before Cardi's "Am I the Drama?" was released -- her first album since 2018.

The New England Patriots star was present for the reveal ... and judging by Cardi's reaction, she never saw it coming!!

Brett James -- a Grammy Award-winning singer-songwriter who worked with the likes of Taylor Swift -- has reportedly died in a plane crash.

James -- best known for his collaborative hit with Carrie Underwood, “Jesus, Take the Wheel” -- was reportedly flying aboard a small plane when it went down in a field near a school in Franklin, North Carolina about 3 PM Thursday. Police said none of the students or school staff were injured.

WLOS-TV reports the aircraft took off from John C. Tune Airport in Nashville, Tennessee, with three people on board, and all of them died.

Tim Burton and Monica Bellucci have called it quits.

The Oscar-nominated director and the actress announced their split Friday in a joint statement, saying ... "It is with much respect and deep care for each other that Monica Bellucci and Tim Burton have decided to part ways."

It's unclear what led to their split.

The manhunt for Travis Decker may have finally come to an end ... police believe they've found his remains.

Decker's corpse was discovered Thursday by a police dragnet in the woods south of Leavenworth, Washington. Decker is accused of killing his 3 daughters and leading police on a 3 1/2-month pursuit.

The Chelan County Sheriff’s Office says it hasn’t positively identified the remains, but they appear to belong to Decker. Sheriff deputies are now conducting DNA tests to confirm it, while processing the scene in Leavenworth.

9/19 -- 5:09 AM PT -- TMZ Sports has learned Raja Jackson was booked on a felony charge of battery with serious bodily injury.

He's already bonded out, a jail official tells us.

Raja Jackson -- the son of UFC legend Quinton "Rampage" Jackson -- was arrested on Thursday for brutally beating down a wrestler at an event late last month.

TMZ Sports has learned the 25-year-old was taken into custody early in the morning ... and booked on a felony charge.

Jail records show he's currently still behind bars ... being held on a $50,000 bond.

Network late-light hosts are rallying behind Jimmy Kimmel after his ABC suspension ... tackling the controversy in their Thursday night monologues.

'Tonight Show' host Jimmy Fallon -- who Trump's rooting to get fired next -- jokes ABC getting pressured by the FCC to suspend Kimmel has left everyone thinking, "WTF."

Fallon quips his father texted him a bunch, sending condolences that his show got canceled -- mistakenly, since they share the same first name. But then he gets earnest, saying he has no idea what's going on ... calling Kimmel "a decent, funny and loving guy" and hoping he makes a comeback.

Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ  ... UMG -- Interscope's parent company -- Sony Music Publishing and Wasserman have paused all promotional activities related to D4vd out of respect for the seriousness of the situation and the ongoing investigation.

D4vd's last post on Instagram promotes the deluxe version of his album, "Withered," which dropped in April. It's due out Friday.

Stephen Colbert is rushing to Jimmy Kimmel's defense ... and taking another shot at President Trump.

Colbert reacts to ABC indefinitely yanking Kimmel's show off the air in Thursday's episode of his own late-night talk show ... according to CNBC ... blasting the Kimmel suspension as "blatant censorship."

Stephen laid the blame with Trump, saying ... "With an autocrat, you cannot give an inch."
