Cardi B was the special guest on "The Jennifer Hudson Show" today, and the crew showered her with an incredible gift during her Spirit Tunnel walkout -- by cleverly remixing her "Bodak Yellow" hit!!!

The megastar rapper wore a red, yellow and black-striped body-hugging dress and pranced her way down the famed hallway as the 'Jennifer Hudson' staffers rapped, "We gon turn up, because we got Car-di B" in the same cadence as her Diamond-selling record.

When she sat down with J-Hud, Cardi impressed the hostess by singing her "Spotlight" song -- and fans will get to hear the full range of her talents soon.

Chris Brown's Sunday night concert turned PG-13 in a hurry ... as after he brought Kayla Nicole up onstage for a song, he grinded all over her.

Travis Kelce's ex hit the "Breezy Bowl XX" stop at SoFi Stadium, and just before the singer began crooning "Take You Down," he pulled her into a nearby chair to be his muse for the tune.

Initially, Brown danced around Kayla while he belted out the lyrics to the love song ... but toward the end, he mounted her -- and she appeared to love every second of it.

Travis Scott pulled up to Bad Bunny's Puerto Rican residency and quickly learned why it's called "No Me Quiero Ir de Aquí" ... La Flame's type of party!!!

The megastar rapper was in town for the final night of Bad Bunny's homeland residency inside the José Miguel Agrelot Coliseum in San Juan ... a big boost for the Puerto Rican tourism board!!!

Bad Bunny crash-landed into Travis' section and got him and his entourage charged up during a passionate performance of "Si Veo a Tu Mamá."

The two music giants have bops together in their own right -- such as "K-POP" -- but Travis was the guest of honor, as were thousands of other tourists this year.

If and when Shaquille O'Neal's Sacramento State men's basketball team faces off with Master P's University of New Orleans squad ... the NBA legend says he wants a whole lot more on the line than bragging rights.

During a chat with TMZ Sports this week, the Big Diesel -- who's the Hornets' general manager -- made it clear he's ready to "put whatever" on the line when it comes to CSUS vs. UNO.

"You tell Master P," O'Neal said, "when we do this game, if we're allowed to put a little wager on it, I'll put whatever."

Cardi B put her rear end into drive at a pop-up event in New York City ... throwing it back atop a black SUV while hundreds of fans swarmed around her.

The rapper held an event at a Washington Heights bodega on Saturday ... which brought out fans just hoping to catch a glimpse of the megastar.

They got more than a glimpse ... 'cause Cardi jumped on top of a car and danced around for the raucous crowd in a gray sweater and blue knee-high skirt -- and, she started dropping it low to applause from the audience.

Cardi B's giving her daughter, Kulture, a crash course in the height of fashion ... twinning with her at a New York Fashion Week event Friday night.

The rapper took her 7-year-old to the Alexander Wang show during the biggest week in NY's fashion scene ... and, the two wore fur ensembles -- grinning brightly while posing together.

Cardi went with the whole fur 'fit here ... while Kulture threw the fur on just the skirt, pairing it with a plain black long-sleeve.

Kai Cenat still has plenty of days left on his Mafiathon 3 stream-a-thon -- and Phaedra Parks wants all the way in!!!

TMZ caught up with "The Real Housewives of Atlanta" star at LAX on Friday and had a spirited chat about the burgeoning world of streaming.

Mariah Carey, Ice Cube, Selena Gomez and Kim Kardashian are just a handful of celebs Kai has convened with so far, and Phaedra campaigns to the AMP boss that it's her time to shine on stream!!!

Kai Cenat invited the legendary Ice Cube to the Mafiathon 3 explosion and got the OG to rank the new crop of rappers from Kai's AMP Cypher stream of last year.

According to Cube, several of the 'Any Means Possible' posse had potential -- especially streamer Duke Dennis, whose vocals Cube compared to Future's!!!

DD definitely has Future's dreadlocks-and-hot look but, when it came to flow and delivery, Cube couldn't tell the difference!!!

Usher wants to rock out for the next Super Bowl Halftime Show -- to the classic metal sounds of Metallica!!!

Usher was happy to plug his son Naviyd's TikTok account ... the high schooler is blossoming into quite the artist/social media influencer in his own right!!!

Akon's wife has apparently had enough -- she just filed for divorce!!!

According to court docs, obtained by TMZ Hip Hop, Tomeka Thiam, who says she married the rapper/musician back on September 15, 1996, is pulling the plug on their marriage -- citing the usual irreconcilable differences.

Akon has been cryptic on how many "wives" he's had in the past, but Tomeka says she shares a 17-year-old child with Akon.

Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco are getting married soon, but it was them who were the gift bearers on Kai Cenat's Mafiathon 3 stream!!!

Actually, the gift was from Selena, and it was for Kai's sister, Kaiya, who got set up with a grand surprise with all the latest Rare Beauty products!!!

Lil Dicky also joined the hypercharged stream, which had just celebrated having 400K viewers at once, and he, Selena and Benny signed the PC for the daily giveaway that goes to a lucky fan.

Young Thug is apologizing on wax ... using a new song to say sorry to Drake, 21 Savage, Lil Baby, his girlfriend Mariah the Scientist and more.

Thugger just dropped a new track titled "Man I Miss My Dogs" ... and it's essentially him apologizing to different people in his life for everything he said on his leaked jail calls.

Young Thug begins with a message to his GF ... telling Mariah the Scientist one of his biggest fears in life is losing her to the internet.

Ne-Yo’s life isn’t 3D, it’s 4D ... girlfriends and all, which he says makes his life seem like one big blockbuster!

We spotted the singer Wednesday rolling out of Wally’s in L.A. with his 4 leading ladies -- Cristina, Arielle, Moneii, and Bri -- and he tells TMZ don’t expect a reality show anytime soon ... he’s keeping this love story off-screen, no matter how binge-worthy it looks.

Ne-Yo shut it down -- saying his world’s already a full-blown movie, so why downgrade to reality TV when he’s living the epic on his own terms?

President Donald Trump is still deliberating whether or not to send National Guard troops to Chicago -- but G Herbo is telling him to round up the troops ... it's time to clean up the streets!!!

TMZ Hip Hop caught up with the Chicago-bred rap star at LAX on Wednesday, and he told us straight up he's all for military action if it'll keep the kids and women out of harm's way.

Herbo tells us he's a tax-paying citizen and you can hear the growth in his music ... his "Went Legit" single is already certified Gold after just several months on the streams.

Drake snuck a subtle shot at Kai Cenat's hairline after the top Twitch streamer trashed his new song on his "Mafiathon 3" stream ... and Kai's demanding answers!!!

Kai's chat tipped him off that Drake had given his forehead and tattered braids the spotlight treatment via an unflattering photo wedged in between his latest photo dump from his adventures in France.

The international roasting caused Kai to sulk at his desk as the Undertaker's gong rang unrelentingly, and he eventually had to walk away from the computer.

Cardi B and her hairstylist Tokyo Stylez are Galore magazine's new cover girls -- and they partied the NYC night away to celebrate in a room wall-to-wall with celebs!!!

The shindig went down on Tuesday night at Little Ways in New York, and Cardi, who's been busy these past few weeks juggling an album release and legal battle, was smiling like a winner draped in a fire-red bodysuit that hugged her frame.

Cardi kicked off the week by shutting down US Open after-parties and she kept the same energy for her and Tokyo's big night.
