TMZ Hip Hop

Khloe Kardashian knows how to do it up big for her fam, hosting her 40th birthday party, and some huge stars showed up to perform.

The party was themed, "Khloewood," a play on "Dollywood." Not sure where the soiree went down, but we think somewhere in L.A.

Snoop, Kurupt and Warren G all took the stage.

President Biden's proving he has rappers on speed dial just like Donald Trump does -- recruiting a pair of hip hop legends to help rally his down south supporters!!!

TMZ Hip Hop got this video of Fat Joe and E-40 performing onstage Friday for the prez and First Lady Jill Biden's post-debate rally in Raleigh, NC.

Biden displayed a jolt of energy he didn't have during last night's debate, and it's safe to say, the audience was feeling it.

Polo G's family drama is spilling into the court system -- his mother Stacia Mac just filed for a domestic violence restraining order against her own daughter.

In court docs, obtained by TMZ Hip Hop, Stacia points to April 1 -- the day after Easter 2024 -- as the start of the trouble ... when she and her daughter Leilani almost took each other's heads off.

According to the filing, Stacia claims an intoxicated Leilani entered her home without her knowledge, and began attacking her inside her bedroom ... before running around the house destroying as much property as she could.

6:04 PM PT -- We obtained additional footage of the incident between Megan Thee Stallion's security and reality star Jonathan Wright ... it appears JW got a lick off to her security guard's face before the bruhaha was broken up.

It's still unclear what exactly caused the physical exchange but like we reported earlier, everything appears to have straightened itself out ... after throwing a couple back at the bar!!!

Megan Thee Stallion found herself playing referee at her own L.A. soiree, because apparently, her security didn't get the memo that Jonathan Wright is gang-gang!!!

TMZ Hip Hop obtained video from inside MTS' "Megan" album release party, which went down Thursday night at Millwick Event Space in Downtown L.A.

We're told Megan arrived on the scene with her entourage and strutted into the VIP area as her hit collab with GloRilla "Wanna Be" blared in the venue.

New fallout for Diddy from the Cassie video and sexual assault allegations -- the Miami Beach Commission is revoking "Sean Diddy Combs Day."

Diddy posted up with then-Miami Beach Mayor Philip Levine during the 2016 Revolt Music Conference when he originally received the proclamation ... which the city's Commissioners voted to yank this week.

In fact, Diddy received the proclamation in October 2016 ... just 7 months after he was caught on surveillance video assaulting ex-GF inside an L.A. hotel. Of course, the general public -- and certainly not the City of Miami Beach -- knew that had happened until the video came out this year.

LSU basketball star Flau'jae Johnson really manifested a collab with Lil Wayne ... 'cause a year after saying she would love to hop on a track with the rap legend -- IT HAPPENED!!

The 20-year-old point guard/musician released her nine-track album "Best of Both Worlds" on Friday ... and it has several big features -- including NLE Choppa and 2Rare.

But one song on the tracklist definitely stood out from the rest ... when it was revealed "Came Out A Beast" had Weezy on it!!

Megan Thee Stallion is spinning the block on Nicki Minaj with her newly released diss track ... and even uses TMZ as a punch line to get her point across!!!

On Friday, Meg dropped her new self-titled album, which opens with her previously released No. 1 track "Hiss," and adds a new snake-bite diss track in "Rattle."

Meg gloats on the song's chorus ... "Ain't got no tea on me, this ho think she TMZ" -- and later takes a dig at Nicki's home life with husband Kenneth Petty and their 3-year-old son.

Kendrick Lamar's "Not Like Us" Drake diss is blazing a path to be rap's biggest song of the year -- a path cleared by his blistering "Meet the Grahams" record which dropped just hours before.

TMZ Hip Hop caught up with 'MtG' producer The Alchemist at LAX, and he tells us his situation was no different from Mustard, who produced "Not Like Us."

Alchemist sent K. Dot the beat, but had no idea before it came out he was using it to go nuclear on Drake and his family!!!

Travis Scott could have avoided his arrest in Miami last week if he hadn't left some stuff behind on the yacht where the incident went down ... TMZ has learned.

Sources familiar with the situation tell TMZ ... the rapper had been driven away from the yacht, when he told his driver to go back to the marina early last Thursday morning.

We're told Travis realized he'd left his bag and phone on the yacht, and banged a u-turn to retrieve the items.

Killer Mike's legal troubles are behind him ... 'cause TMZ has learned he's officially off the hook for his pre-Grammys arrest, as long as he keeps his nose clean.

Prosecutors in the L.A. City Attorney's Office tell us they will not be filing charges against Mike for his confrontation with an event security guard, back in February, which led to his citizen's arrest.

We're told he successfully completed his city attorney hearing ... after which he agreed to do some community service with a non-profit organization of his choice.

Diddy's guitar autographed with his former Puff Daddy moniker is going up on the auction block -- and experts are watching to see if his public downfall helps or hurts the final price.

GottaHaveRockAndRoll is expecting upwards of $2K to be splashed out on the electric guitar that boasts the inscription "Luv, Puff Daddy, Bad Boy 4 Life" in silver felt-tip pen -- a nod to his 2001 hit song with that title, and the mogul's label Bad Boy Records ... home to rap legends like Notorious B.I.G.

The instrument comes with a James Spence Authentication (JSA) Letter of Authenticity, and a Gotta Have Rock and Roll Certificate of Authenticity ... so, bidders know they're getting the real thing.

Can you guess which Hollywood hunk threw his sexy summer tum on social media? The shredded singer and hot zaddy shared some tooth-brushing techniques before hitting the studio ... but can you guess who the celeb is behind the incredible Instagram shot?

Chris Brown is bringing a lot to the table when it comes to his manhood -- at least that's what the internet thinks after seeing these clips of him onstage ... understandable, TBH.

CB has been on tour of late ... and during one of his recent concerts in Toronto, he was suspended in the air while singing -- with a harness hooked up around his waist/legs ... which pulled on his pants, creating an imprint near his crotch. And yes, everyone noticed.

Take a look ... Chris is up there being twirled around, but all anyone was able to focus on from down below was what was going on in his pelvic region -- namely, a massive bulge.

Bhad Bhabie's motherhood version of living her best life looks a lot like it did before she had a kid ... twerking like there's no tomorrow and making the most of L.A.'s scorching summer on a yacht.

The rapper, who gave birth in March, rocked a sizzling black bikini, flaunting her inked figure in a carousel of IG vids and pics ranging from boat parties to wild nights out.

Naturally, she snapped a cheeky close-up of a girls backside with bills flying everywhere -- but she also had some cute shots of her baby girl, Kali, to keep things a touch family-friendly.

Drake's summer vibes aren't high right now ... and they certainly didn't get any better on Monday, as he lost a massive $500k bet after Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Final!

The Toronto-based rapper put down a $500,000 wager on the Edmonton Oilers (vs. Florida Panthers) to win the country's first Stanley Cup since the Montreal Canadians did it back in 1993. Unfortunately for Drake and our friends up north, the wait will continue.

The Panthers took game seven by a final score of 2-1 ... handing Drake an L.
