Detroit rap star Peezy is getting the full feel for Los Angeles' amenities on his "Still Ghetto" album press run -- like spending an entire car note payment at the grocery store!!!

TMZ Hip Hop recently caught up with Peezy outside Erewhon and judging from his lighter pockets, he guesstimates he spent around $400 just cleaning up in the smoothie aisle.

He's been considering his health as of late and no price is too steep to keep his blood pumping ... there's money to be made!!!

Teyana Taylor has been flexing her triple-threat traction all 2025 -- which might consummate with her holding a golden trophy!!!

TMZ Hip Hop caught up with Teyana in NYC, promoting her hit comeback album and its accompanying short film, "Escape Room."

The last time we caught up with the Rose from Harlem a couple months ago, she was bracing for vocal surgery to repair some damaged cords ... she tells us her recovery's been going so well, she's plotting her tour for the top of 2026!!!

NBA YoungBoy's MASA Tour has been packing arenas with unfiltered YN energy without any of the issues, and the superstar rapper had a shiny, sparkling new honor awaiting him when he touched down in Kansas City yesterday!!!

TMZ Hip Hop has learned NBA YoungBoy received a proclamation announcing September 21 will be his own day in the KC going forward.

The 25-year-old was surprised with the City Key by National Criminal Justice Advocate Donte West, on behalf of KC Mayor Quinton Lucas.

Cardi B is expecting a baby with Stefon Diggs despite still being legally attached to Offset, but she's adamant it's because she refuses to meet his divorce demands of obtaining one of her properties and having her cover his tax bills ... like, is you cool?!?

The newly brewed tea was spilled Monday while Cardi addressed her adoring fanbase, STRONGLY defending her current prenatal status.

Cardi maintains that she dedicated 7 good years of her life during her marriage with Offset ... it didn't work, life happens, and she has a new man; simple as that.

Marlon Wayans is currently going to war with critics for his new Jordan Peele-produced film, "Him" ... and his costar Don Benjamin is chiming in, proclaiming it to be JP's magnum opus!!!

TMZ caught up with Don and his wife, Liane V, in L.A. with their fam on their way to soak in the gory sports thriller for themselves -- which has been a wacky bag for the review writers nationwide.

Don certifies Peele a genius and even ranks "Him" as better than the filmmaker's debut, 2017's "Get Out," which has been a crown jewel on Rotten Tomatoes since it premiered.

Lexi Wood is still brushing off the buzz on those Drake dating rumors ... continuing to double down on not exactly confirming anything, but definitely not denying that there ever was a connection either.

TMZ caught up with the Canadian model, and when asked point-blank about her relationship with the "Certified Lover Boy," Lexi plays coy and tells us he's a "lovely person" and she's "very lucky to know him."

This all started when Jesse Solomon -- Lexi's ex from hit reality show "Summer House" -- started the rumor back in April that Drake is allegedly one of Lexi’s exes ... though he did not clarify what “dating” meant for the pair specifically.

Chris Brown turned his Saturday night concert into a PG-13 spectacle ... pulling Summer Walker onstage for a steamy performance that had fans losing their minds.

The singer was in Las Vegas for his "Breezy Bowl XX" tour stop when he brought Walker up from the crowd and made her the star of his "Take You Down" number. Walker was ushered into a chair while Brown serenaded her with his slow jam ... and things quickly escalated.

Breezy danced around her, belting out lyrics while showing off his trademark moves. But as the song built up, he mounted Summer and grinded all over her, locking into steamy choreography. The crowd went wild and Summer looked like she was enjoying every second.

Plenty of the biggest names in Hollywood have graced the stage of "Watch What Happens Live" -- and we wanna know if you can guess who this glammed-up rapper is!

We ran into this songwriter back in 2023 when she was leaving the 'WWHL' set, and she spoke her mind about being a "trendsetter" and how she "has to do things different" ... hey, her words, not ours.

Consequence was caught smack dab in the middle of that tense 2018 "Saturday Night Live" showdown between Kanye West and Michael Che that went viral earlier today, and tells TMZ Hip Hop exactly how HE REMEMBERS things went down!!!

Kanye's longtime collaborator admits Friday was the first time he's seen the footage from the unfiltered "In Whose Name?" documentary that's currently in theaters, but does admit the fiery clip of Ye barking at his former mother-in-law, Kris Jenner, with the wrath of a titan, touched him a bit.

Cons calls the clip "gut-wrenching" but urges fans not to forget we're all human, without necessarily excusing Ye's behavior.

It's no secret Stephen Curry's a beast on the court ... although Killer Mike apparently learned the hard way the NBA star's just as deadly in a comments section!

The pro basketball player recently defended his wife, Ayesha, from a comment shared by the rapper in September 2025 -- and it didn't exactly seem like the Golden State Warriors player was too happy about the performer's words.

Here's a look at what led up to Mike making his comment ... and what Steph thought of the statement.

Before we get to the comments, let's cover some ground about Stephen and Ayesha -- who first met when they were just teenagers, according to People.

The pair eventually reconnected in 2008, and they dated for two years before the NBA star popped the big question.

Stephen and Ayesha tied the knot in North Carolina in 2011, and they started a family with the birth of their first daughter, Riley, the following year.

The athlete and the influencer welcomed a second daughter named Ryan in 2015, and she gave birth to sons Canon and Caius in 2018 and 2024, respectively.

The conflict between Killer Mike and Stephen stemmed from a comment Mike left on a video shared by rapper Bookie Woodz on Instagram in September 2025, according to Us Weekly.

Mike claimed Ayesha had been "struggling with trying not to cheat on her husband," then compared her to GloRilla.

Mike apparently found the clip funny, and began his now-deleted message by writing "My n**** Said She Wanna Go Be Glo!!!" in a reference to Ayesha.

The rapper then appeared to show a bit of sympathy for Stephen, and wrote the athlete "doesn’t deserve the embarrassment frfr. God bless him."

Mike's comment didn't exactly sit well with Stephen, who shared a comment of his own -- which has since been deleted -- in response to the rapper's views about his wife.

The NBA star claimed he was fine "stating and letting these other clowns have their moment" after writing "naaaaa not you Mike."

The Golden State Warrior wrote he thought the rapper was "better than that" and told the performer to "stay in your lane and let God keep blessing me like he is."

Kanye West's "In Whose Name?" third-person documentary is in theaters today, and it's giving viewers a glimpse into how volcanic his last few years have been ... including how things got bad between him and his ex-mother-in-law, Kris Jenner!!!

In one clip, obtained by TMZ, Ye is filmed crashing out on Kris in an explosive shouting match over the megastar rapper's public perception when he was hospitalized back in 2016.

Kris told Ye it didn't matter what the internet peanut gallery thought ... prompting a temper tantrum from him on the spot, repeatedly screaming, "It does matter!" in her face.

Cardi B's "Am I The Drama?" album rollout has been earning rave reviews, and in addition to the music, she and her team can add one more stone to their Infinity Gauntlet -- a Guinness World Record!!!

The album dropped on Friday, and Cardi revealed on social media that she snatched the title for most deliveries with strategic marketing!!!

Kylie Galloway, a senior exec at Guinness World Records, tells TMZ Hip Hop the tandem of Cardi, Walmart, Wing Drone Delivery and Atlantic Records earned the newly minted GWR title for the most deliveries by UAV drones in one hour ... with 176 deliveries by drones!!!

12:29 PM PT -- Doesn't look like D4vd's tour is just ending in the U.S. -- his two Paris dates have also been canceled.

D4vd has canceled the remaining leg of his U.S. tour as questions mount over his connection to the body of a girl found in the trunk of his car.

Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ ... D4vd's camp made a decision Thursday to cancel the 2 remaining shows in the U.S. He was scheduled to perform Friday night in San Francisco and Saturday night in Los Angeles.

And as you can see, AXS has started alerting ticketholders for his Greek Theatre show in L.A. scheduled for Saturday that they'll begin the refund process.

Stefon Diggs appeared to be on baby duty earlier this year -- the NFL superstar was spotted leaving a hospital with a car seat in his hands ... exactly one day before he hard-launched his relationship with Cardi B.

TMZ Sports has obtained footage of the New England Patriots receiver outside an NYC medical facility on May 11 ... meaning he really made the most of his time in the Big Apple, as he hit Madison Square Garden hand-in-hand with the "Outside" rapper to catch the Knicks host the Boston Celtics in a playoff matchup just over 24 hours later.

In the footage, Diggs walks toward an SUV with an unidentified woman in the backseat ... and it appears he's trying to figure out where to fit the carrier before electing to try his luck on the other side.

Gayle King's got a new crush ... and it's on Cardi B!

We caught the famous journalist in New York City Thursday -- one day after the Grammy-winning rapper announced she's pregnant on "CBS Mornings" -- and she had nothing but praise to sing for her.

Check out our clip -- Gayle says she's got a "girl crush" on Cardi after sitting down with her, noting people should never underestimate her because "she knows what she's doing" as she juggles her "Am I The Drama?" album promotion and prepares to welcome her 4th child.
