The Weeknd is capitalizing on the BIGGEST R&B tour in history -- grabbing Playboi Carti and Anitta for a blockbuster extension that's targeting world hunger!!!

On Thursday, Weeknd announced the next leg of his "After Hours Til Dawn" stadium tour will cover Latin America via Mexico City, Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo, starting April 20 ... setting the stage for "bota na boca" action IRL!!!

Abel Tesfaye's "Timeless" collaborator, Playboi Carti, will enter the scene to rage across the Europe and UK shows in hot spots including Amsterdam, London, Milan and Madrid.

Druski broke the internet, the Bible Belt and the Mason-Dixon Line overnight with his NASCAR comedy skit where he completely transformed into a fun-loving, beer-chuggin' WHITE MAN -- dividing the country's opinions -- sort of like a pres... eh, you get the picture.

The influential comedian leaned into the stir he caused on social media with another mini-skit of him huffing a cig as if he were flustered ... while James Brown's "It's A Man's World" blares in the background.

Druski amassed over a million on his IG likes alone in the first day the skit shot out the gate ... some people loved it, while others hated it!!!

Kid Cudi just announced he's stepping back from making music after the lowest chart debut of his career -- but rapper Consequence DGAF and is calling out his former GOOD Music collaborator in defense of Kanye West and all things integrity!!!

On Tuesday, Consequence previewed his new track featuring footage of Kid Cudi leaving Diddy's RICO trial from May, after The Man on the Moon testified for his ex-girlfriend Cassie.

Consequence raps on the track "We about to blow like Kid Cudi's car ..." a reference to the Porsche he suspected Diddy had bombed with a Molotov cocktail after the love triangle started to become a pair.

The Dallas Hip Hop scene has become the next region to explode -- especially with the current implosion of Atlanta -- just take it from rapper Montana 700.

TMZ Hip Hop caught up with Montana and Kocky out in NYC at their "Pray" video shoot, with additional support from "Million Dollaz Worth of Game" podcast co-host Wallo and up-and-coming Brooklyn rapper, Kocky Ka.

They don't care about anything that's going on in Atlanta and Young Thug ... this year's all about reclaiming their place in the rap game.

Cardi B made sure her time wasn't completely wasted during her civil trial ... her infamous courtroom looks are now her new album cover!!!

On Tuesday, Cardi unveiled "The Courtroom Edition" of her upcoming "Am I The Drama?" album, featuring snapshots of the funny faces she made when she took the stand last week.

Cardi was 100% unfiltered on the stand ... admitting she called the security guard -- who was suing her for $24 million -- all sorts of obscenities ... but only because she was standing her ground. The jury sided with her story.

Cardi B is dancing the stress away -- with no pants on -- as she celebrates being cleared of all allegations in the assault and battery case against her.

Check out her latest social media video ... the "WAP" hitmaker is shaking what her mama gave her while teasing a new song, "Bodega Baddie." She starts the video by unbuttoning her polka dot blazer ... and even strips down to her thong to twerk for fans.

She finishes off the celebratory clip in true Cardi style -- by slapping her famous rear end and flipping off the camera with a huge smile across her face!

Master P may not be the only legendary Louisianian in the house when the Univ. of New Orleans tips off its hoops season in two months, 'cause the hip hop mogul tells us he's reached out to Lil Wayne, and he wants Weezy to perform!

Miller -- now Coach P -- stopped by the TMZ offices where he chopped it up with Babcock, opening up on his new gig as U.N.O.'s President of Basketball Operations and assistant coach ... as Percy attempts a complete overhaul of the struggling program.

"I'm bringing some huge talent, but I reached out to Lil Wayne's management team, so we're gonna see how that goes," P said, adding ... "But if it doesn't work out [for the first game on Nov. 8th,] we've got 11 more home games which we can bring him in."

Cardi B can breathe easy now that she's just been found not liable of assault and battery in a civil case by a unanimous jury, and won't have to pay any damages -- and she plans to countersue anyone in the future who drop a "nefarious" lawsuit against her.

Plaintiff Emani Ellis spoke to the media afterwards and said she's not disappointed by the decision, but happy she got to have her day in court. Her lawyer says they plan to file an appeal.

Emani Ellis -- a former security guard -- sued Cardi for $24 million and alleged the "Bodak Yellow" rapper hit her, cut her face, spit on her and hurled racial slurs during a 2018 spat.

Ray J needed to get cleaned up after the "TMZ After Dark Tour" and made a cameo appearance on Kai Cenat's Mafiathon 3 stream during bath time -- but got rejected!!!

Kai was bonneted up in the middle of a sudsy shower when Ray J entered the bathroom, ready to get down while wearing shades and a Speedo. Yes, it's literally as ridiculous as it sounds.

Ray didn't get far ... Kai saw him getting undressed and immediately decided he didn't want to live in a world where content of him and Ray J in a shower lived online, and exited the shower with the quickness.

Lil Jon made his fitness competition debut at the 2025 Muscle Beach Championship on Labor Day and the King of Crunk saw no reason to turn down ... he earned third place!!!

TMZ Hip Hop obtained photos of Jon flexing his stuff at Venice Beach in L.A., where he participated in the men's physique category.

It was a powerful moment ... Jon was the first artist to compete at the historic competition, giving his personal trainer, Jay Galvin, forever bragging rights!!!

A sculpted body is ultimately made in the kitchen and Jon told us last month that he's on a strict diet ... high protein, low carbs, spring water, no sugar, no processed foods and ensuring he hits the gym at least 3x a week!!!

2:53 PM PT -- Cardi B is pissed and she's letting the world know it, writing on X that she had to miss her kids first day of school to attend her civil trial.

Cardi B went from glowing to growling after leaving court on Tuesday after someone dared to ask if she was pregnant!!!

TMZ caught the wild exchange earlier today ... someone off camera asked if she would predict any paternity drama with Stefon Diggs -- in light of Offset apparently bragging he banged her up with Baby No. 4!!! 😬

Cardi didn't take kindly to the question coming from a guy outside the Alhambra, CA courthouse, and threw a pen in a fit of rage ... causing her bodyguard to call her back.

Master P is gearing up for a new season in life as a college basketball coach, and he dropped in on the TMZ Live Stream to talk about it!

The Colonel chopped it up Tuesday with Harvey and Charles, confirming the Ice Cream Man has been reverted to "Coach P" now that he's looking to impact his hometown as the President of Basketball Operations and Assistant Coach of the New Orleans Privateers college men's basketball team.

It's been a helluva music career for P ... 27 years ago to the day, his life changed with the release of his breakout album "Ghetto D," which had the world saying "Uhhhhhh" in real time.

Cardi B made a grand fashion statement as she arrived in court today ... she's the gift that keeps on giving unforgettable testimony!!!

We caught Cardi heading into court in Alhambra, California -- just east of L.A. -- dripped down in a bold black-and-white polka dot dress combo, which she accented with a big red bow Tuesday morning.

The "Imaginary Playerz" rapper hopped out and made sure her hair and outfit were straight, and then slowly made her way to the courthouse steps with the assistance of her bodyguard and manager, Shawn Holiday.

Drake and Bobbi Althoff patched up the holes in their relationship and are back in bed together ... for another riveting podcast that found Tyga, Rick Ross and even Kendrick Lamar being tossed under the bus!!!

If you remember, Drake was the star guest for Bobbi's breakout podcast 2 years ago, but rumors of her cheating on her husband at the time with Champagne Papi created a whirlwind effect ... including the podcast being removed from YouTube without explanation.

Bobbi tackled one of the rumors -- specifically Drake's playing of a Tyga song got the podcast taken down -- which created a domino effect of Drake teasing Bobbi over their suspected relationship.

OnlyFans ... it’s either a cash cow, or a crash course in chaos ... and TMZ's new documentary shows just how ugly the fallout can get.

Ex-OF star Angela White -- formerly known as Blac Chyna -- cops to greed hitting quick ... telling us in "TMZ Presents: The War Over OnlyFans" she knew flashing her fans through topless DMs was the real money magnet.

Angela swears she knows the drill ... plenty of women join the platform thinking just sporting bikinis will cut it ... but before they know it, the grind messes with their head, and they're peeling off more and more.

Bianca Censori’s risqué reign just got a challenger -- 'cause her younger sis Angelina just hit IG serving up her own scandalous spin, and the results are 🥵.

Angelina took a page straight outta Bianca’s playbook Tuesday, rocking a belt buckle across her bust ... but LBR, between shots she was definitely wrangling those puppies, 'cause there’s no way that strap was doing its job.

The Aussie stunner struck her poses with an oiled-up, bronzed body poured into a long denim skirt ... some cover-up, sure, but if she’s gunning for Bianca’s crown ... don’t be shocked if that skirt’s gone in the next shoot.
