Soulja Boy's participation in a seemingly harmless TikTok game ended in a complete meltdown ... the "Crank That" rapper threatened to shooooot the competition!!!

TMZ Hip Hop obtained video of Soulja Boy erupting like a volcano on content creators ExoticTV Ra, MCL and Mello Rell in a fiery rant as they played for TikTok tokens -- apparently Soulja wasn't doing so hot.

Soulja Boy dared the group to play "big bank take lil bank" before telling Ra he'd shoot him in the face.

Master P wasted no time switching job hats after his viral Verzuz appearance -- and nabbed his first win as the University of New Orleans basketball prez of operations!!!

The New Orleans Privateers men's basketball team are now 1-0 after beating the TCU Horned Frogs 78 - 74, but you'd think Luther Vandross was singing "One Shining Moment" the way they were giving Coach Stacy Holloway a Gatorade bath in the locker room!!!

Coach P was right in the middle of the rowdy celebration, screaming "Ugh" with the players.

Rapper Young Bleed has passed away following complications from a brain aneurysm.

His son, Ty'Gee Ramon, took to Instagram Monday to announce the "unreal" news that his father "gained his wings" on Saturday ... and remember his father and his legacy, which he said he plans to continue.

Ty'Gee, the eldest child of Young Bleed, said his father never dealt with "real health issues" but confirmed he had high blood pressure and would take medicine routinely. He explained his fatal health scare that landed him in the hospital as "a natural thing."

Bianca Censori is hitting the town back home in Australia ... and wearing one of her most eye-popping outfits yet.

The Aussie bombshell stepped out for a high-end shopping spree in Melbourne with her mom, Alexandra, sister, Angelina, and other family members Monday.

Her outfit is a total head-turner ... rocking a pair of sheer tights with her underwear visibly showing -- paired with a pink tank top pulled down to reveal a pointed, purple, vintage-style bullet bra. She finished the look with silver heels.

Rihanna and A$AP Rocky had themselves a parents' night out in the Big Apple!

Check it out -- the new parents of 3 made their first red carpet appearance since welcoming their 3rd child, a daughter named Rocki Irish, in September. They showed up at the 2025 CFDA Awards in New York City Monday night, where Rihanna reportedly described her chic look as "postpartum-forward."

The "Work" hitmaker chose pieces from Alaïa's spring/summer 2026 collection, which included an asymmetrical floor-length black trench coat worn over a black turtleneck and pleated white pants tucked into her black pumps.

Nicki Minaj is absolutely obsessed after Donald Trump hopped on the Gen Z train ... sharing a TikTok featuring her viral sound a day after she praised him for his "handling" of the chaos in Nigeria.

The rapper kept it all love, dropping a "This is pretty incredible. Thank you 🙏🏽" under the White House’s post ... which, BTW, featured Trump and Melania vibing to her viral "Beez In The Trap x What’s Up?" remix.

Nicki -- who first dropped "Beez In The Trap" with 2 Chainz back in 2012 -- was living for the remix, which cuts from Trump in action to Melania’s "boss b*tch" sightings the moment NM's verse kicks in.

Singer Tish Hyman says her membership to a Gold's Gym in Los Angeles was terminated after she raised concerns about a "man" using the women's locker room.

In a video posted on social media, Tish confronts the person she says is harassing her and other women in the locker room ... claiming he has male genitals and has disrespected her several times, including allegedly calling her a "b*tch."

Tish says she and other women have made written reports about "this man coming in our women's locker room harassing us" ... but she says the gym staff did nothing.

Bianca Censori’s back in Australia visiting family ... but if you thought she’d tone it down for the hometown crowd, think again ... because nothing’s coming between her and that trademark jaw-dropping style!

Check it out -- the Aussie bombshell stepped out Monday in a skintight, strapless silver bodysuit ... pairing the high-cut number with matching stockings, knee-high socks and heels as she hit the Melbourne suburbs with her mom, Alexandra, and sister, Angelina.

Bianca was proudly showing off her curves ... turning heads as she strutted around town with her family.

Blueface's homecoming from prison is already tested just hours after his release ... after his first baby mama, Jaidyn Alexis, is ready to set it off on his 2nd, Chrisean Rock!!!

The "Thotiana" rapper served 21 months and reunited with his son Chrisean Jr. and 2 other kids with Jaidyn -- and she says she did NOT approve of Lil Javaughn and Journey being around a "crackhead." Uh oh!!!

Jaidyn abruptly cut off the stream, demanding everyone stay put so she can get to work ... talk about a Debbie Downer!!!

It didn't take long for Sean "Diddy" Combs to see a familiar face in prison ... because he ran across a famous basketball player from Brooklyn who he's known for years ... former NBA star Sebastian Telfair.

Diddy and Bassy are the most famous inmates doing time at FCI Fort Dix in New Jersey ... and they hung out Saturday in the prison yard ... and we have photos from their chat.

We showed you pics of the Bad Boy Records founder laughing and chatting with a bunch of convicts ... and Sebastian's publicist tells us that's him talking to Diddy in a couple of the photos.

Jerry O'Connell didn't give up a game-winning home run or make the final out, but he's taking the blame for the Toronto Blue Jays' heartbreaking World Series loss ... and it's all because of an outfit change.

The actor joined us on "TMZ Live" Monday and chatted with us about his experience at the Fall Classic ... he went to games in Los Angeles and Toronto, but when he swapped his Dodgers gear for a Jays jersey, Toronto didn't win another game and blew their shot at dethroning the champs.

Jerry says folks noticed Toronto's misfortune with him on the bandwagon ... and he says he's the new version of the "Drake curse." Jerry's wearing it as a badge of honor, though.

Kodak Black has no shame in his game ... he has high standards all across the board -- except when it comes to his own foot game, which looks like they've never seen a pedicure a day in their 28 years!!!

The unpredictable rap star hopped on social media Monday while rambling about his pedigree, but admitted he wasn't perfect and cut a shot to his bare feet ... all 10 toenails were badly damaged and his tootsies were wrinkled with corns.

Kodak just released his new album, "Just Getting Started," on Halloween, but we're not sure this is the promo vehicle his label Capitol Records had in mind ... although he does have a song titled "Calculated Steppin'."

Rapper Nicki Minaj is facing a mountain of hate online after she praised President Donald Trump for threatening military action against Nigeria over the "slaughter" of Christians.

Over the weekend, Trump alleged "Islamic terrorists" were being allowed to kill Christians in Nigeria, and if this alleged practice continued, the U.S. could halt aid and storm into the West African country "guns-a-blazing."

In a Truth Social post, he wrote ... "I am hereby instructing our Department of War to prepare for possible action. If we attack, it will be fast, vicious, and sweet.”

Sean "Diddy" Combs will have a quicker appeals process after a judge gave it the go-ahead ... and his lawyers and federal prosecutors could be making oral arguments as early as April 2026.

According to new legal docs, obtained by TMZ, a judge on Monday approved Diddy's request for an expedited appeals process ... after the convicted mogul said it would be the only way to ensure justice can be done, given his relatively short sentence and the risk of him just serving it out while the appeal is pending.

The judge adopted Diddy's proposed briefing schedule and it looks like this ... Diddy's opening brief is due by December 23, the government's response is due by February 20, Diddy's reply is due by March 13 ... and if the timeline holds, oral arguments will be heard as early as April 2026.

Jay "Jeezy" Jenkins can now add "maestro" to his extensive résumé ... the Snowman just commanded hip hop's largest orchestra ever!!!

The Guinness Book of World Records certified Jeezy after he performed at his Las Vegas residency "TM:101 Live" at PH Live at Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino, on Nov. 1 ... with 101 band members from the Color of Noize Orchestra!!!

Grammy Award-winning musicians Adam Blackstone and Derrick Hodge were also in the mix ... Adam served as musical director, and Derrick composed the arrangements for the show.

Billboard's Hot 100 chart is hip hop hit-less in its Top 40 for the first time since 1990 -- not a big deal, says Travis Scott's new artist, Wallie The Sensei ... still gotta make good music!!!

TMZ Hip Hop recently caught up with Wallie at LAX, and he doesn't flinch as a new artist in such a volatile time in the music industry.

While other rappers may have lost their buzz this year, Wallie actually thrived, having signed to Travis Scott's Cactus Jack imprint ... and was immediately spotlighted on a song with superstars Future and Don Toliver on the "Jackboys 2" compilation project.
