Tekashi 6ix9ine’s Florida crib was ransacked by four gunmen last night ... and new security footage shows just how scary it got for his mom -- who was held against her will -- and even the family dog trapped inside.

TMZ has obtained surveillance video from Sunday night after the intruders slipped in through the garage. In one clip, you can see Tekashi’s 60-year-old mom face to face with the burglars, her voice shaking as she begs and pleads ... while the dog runs around confused.

One intruder stays posted up on Tekashi’s mom while the others tear through the place ... and before long the chaos spills outside, which you can see play out on more surveillance video.

Veteran rapper Talib Kweli was involved in a hellfire-heated exchange with security guards backstage at his Black Star concert last Saturday -- and TMZ Hip Hop has the explosive exchange all on tape!!!

The scene opens with Kweli barking at the top of his lungs at a group of men behind the curtain, demanding they tell him "Who the f*** they think they are!!!"

According to the sounds of the argument, Kweli was royally pissed off that security guards had walked onto the stage 1 minute past the 11PM curfew to stop the show, and was upping the bass in his voice towards anyone who tried to calm him down!!!

Cardi B is venting about a new houseguest who's been getting on her nerves ever since she gave birth to Stefon Diggs' son ... and it's her own mother!!!

The "Bodak Yellow" rapper hopped on social media and explained all the things her mom's been doing to drive her crazy.

Cardi says her pantry's missing some of her favorite snacks -- especially her late-night cravings -- and it's all her mom's doing. Say goodbye to those cookies, and sayonara to that jerky.

The saying goes "age ain't nothing but a number" -- but the gap between Blueface and his new boo thang Hazel-E has the "Thotiana" rapper's mama rethinking the math a little bit!!!

TMZ Hip Hop caught up with Karlissa Saffold Harvey at the Northridge Mall in L.A. last week ... and it appears we broke the news about the 17-year age difference Blue has with Hazel.

Karlissa was under the impression that Hazel-E was about "38-ish" -- a testament to the "Love & Hip Hop" star's good genes -- but judging from her reaction, her little boy Blue will have to exercise ALL his options.

What do LiAngelo Ball and Drake have in common? They both scored platinum singles this year!!

The Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) announced the milestone accomplishment for Gelo's debut track on Monday ... saying "Tweaker" officially hit one million digital units sold.

This is huge news for the 26-year-old athlete-turned-rapper ... as he randomly launched his music career just months ago. Per RIAA, the only other hip-hop and R&B artists to secure platinum singles in 2025 are Drake, Lil Tecca, BigXthaPlug, and Mariah The Scientist.

President Trump says "somebody" is responsible for bringing white nationalist Nick Fuentes to dinner at Mar-a-Lago ... and that special someone is Kanye West.

Trump was defending Tucker Carlson's recent interview with Fuentes -- which has caused backlash among Republicans -- when he went down memory lane ... and things got funny, fast.

POTUS awkwardly referred to Kanye only as "somebody" who, unbeknownst to him, invited Fuentes to Mar-a-Lago a couple years ago for dinner. Trump then quickly identified that somebody as Ye.

Well, this is a collab nobody saw coming ... Nicki Minaj is partnering with the Trump Administration to address the United Nations.

The "Anaconda" rapper will reportedly join the U.S. Ambassador to the U.N., Mike Waltz, to deliver remarks Tuesday in New York City, spotlighting violence committed against Christians in Nigeria. Waltz complimented Nicki in a tweet Sunday, calling her a "principled individual who refuses to remain silent in the face of injustice."

Nicki tweeted her appreciation, writing in a post ... "Ambassador, I am so grateful to be entrusted with an opportunity of this magnitude. I do not take it for granted. It means more than you know."

Tekashi 6ix9ine's Florida home was stormed by four gunmen hunting for his cash and car keys ... and held his mother against her will during the terrifying invasion.

The chilling incident went down Sunday night, when the embattled rapper's 60-year-old mother was at his residence and suddenly confronted by the armed men.

6ix9ine tells us he was not home at the time ... instead, he was livestreaming with Jack Doherty when the home invasion played out. You'll recall, Doherty was also arrested Saturday morning on drug possession and other charges.

Boosie Badazz says Diddy should've held it together after he was found guilty in his federal trial ... tearing into the dude for not being manly enough when the verdict came down.

The rapper sat down for an interview on "The Breastfast Club" Friday ... and, he talked about his relationship to the disgraced music mogul -- revealing the two haven't spoke in a long time despite their friendly relationship in the past.

Boosie says he wants to talk to the guy though ... because he thinks it was a total coward move to cry after the jury read out the verdict in his federal sex trafficking case.

Akon is playing hard ball with his estranged wife in their divorce -- the rapper doesn't want to give her a dime in spousal support!

According to new court docs obtained by TMZ ... Akon checked the box to terminate spousal support for Tomeka — his wife of 29 years — after she had requested it in her divorce petition filed in September.

Interestingly, Tomeka asked the court not to award any spousal support to Akon so it seems both want to protect their finances.

Congratulations are in order for Pusha T and his wife Virginia Williams -- they're expecting their 2nd baby boy together!

She captioned the carousel of pics and videos fittingly, writing ... "2nd masterpiece on the way…🥹 God is good."

12:55 PM PST -- Sources close to Loopy Ferrell tell TMZ … There’s always two side of a story, but Loopy was not the aggressor in this situation.

Our source states Barbara Bregoli was the one who came to the house with a gun and claims she was calling Loopy racial slurs. We're told the reason Loopy snatched the phone out of her hand is because she hit him with it during the encounter.

Sources also say Loopy and Bhad Bhabie have worked together on many Gold/Platinum hits and despite this incident, still have a strong relationship and great chemistry.

Bhad Bhabie's friend and song collaborator Ricky "Loopy" Ferrell got busted in Florida after cops say he put his hands on her mom in a heated exchange outside one of Bhabie's homes.

According to the official records, obtained by TMZ, Ricky was arrested Thursday and booked on a charge of simple battery.

It all stems from an incident we first reported on back in August ... when Ricky and Barbara Bregoli got into it at a home Bhabie and her mom co-own.

Booming alternative act BLK Odyssy is clarifying that he appreciates having his music spotlighted on Joe Budden's top-rated podcast -- even with The Weeknd and Travis Scott comparisons attached -- even if he doesn't agree with them!!!

BLK Odyssy dropped his new album on Friday and caught up with TMZ Hip Hop outside Wasteland on Melrose Ave, where he laughed off his most viral moment to date.

Joe was singing Odyssy's praises on the pod, when his co-host Ice remarked he sounded like "House of Balloons"-era Weeknd music ... in which Joe sprinkled in a little LaFlame garnish for extra measure.

Tony tells TMZ it all went down near Moxies in Miami after he approached Flyy -- one half of the Island Boys duo, with his brother Kodiyakredd. Tony -- who has appeared in "Battle Camp" and "The Mole" on Netflix -- says he loudly called Flyy and others "NPCs" -- Non-Player Characters, a Gen Z insult referring to someone as "bot."
