Nicki Minaj's husband, Kenneth Petty, is asking a court for permission to travel out of the country so he can join her on tour in Europe ... and he says he'll be needed overseas.

According to court docs, obtained by TMZ, KP says he isn't just looking to globe-trot with Nicki for fun -- on the contrary, he says it's necessary to join her on the European leg of her "Pink Friday 2" world tour for a bunch of reasons, mainly to provide childcare for their son.

The start date he lists for the anticipated travel schedule is April 17, 2024 ... and he says there will be stops in Canada, Sweden, Denmark, Germany, France, the United Kingdom, Austria, Ireland, Switzerland, and Romania.

Gypsy Rose Blanchard and Ryan Anderson got into a major fight about his food hoarding ways before splitting up ... TMZ has learned.

Sources close to Gypsy Rose tell TMZ … she wasn't fully aware of Ryan's hoarding issues regarding food before moving in with him after her release from prison. We're told this caused tension for the couple in the 2-bedroom apartment they shared.

Ryan allegedly collects and keeps food items in bulk, which GRB wasn't feeling.

Former Univ. of Michigan star quarterback Denard Robinson was arrested on Monday ... after he was allegedly involved in a single-car crash while intoxicated.

A spokesperson for the Ann Abor Police Dept. said the accident occurred at around 3:05 AM near the Wolverines' headquarters at the school's Ann Arbor campus.

Further details surrounding the allegations against Robinson were not made immediately available ... although the spokesperson said charges against the 33-year-old "are pending toxicology results."

Robinson played for the Wolverines from 2009 to 2012 -- and became such a huge star, he actually covered the ultra-popular EA Sports "NCAA Football 14" video game.

Nicknamed "Shoelace" for the way he ran out of his shoes when he was youngster, Robinson threw for 6,250 yards in his UM career while running for an additional 4,495 yards. He scored a total of 42 rushing TDs and 49 passing ones.

He was ultimately picked by the Jaguars in the 2013 NFL Draft, and after playing sparingly from '13 through 2016, he tried to latch on in the Alliance of American Football league ... before he got into coaching and then scouting.

Robinson had just landed a role on UM's staff as the assistant director of player personnel in 2022 ... but following his arrest Monday, head coach Sherrone Moore said in a statement he's now suspended indefinitely.

Two people who say they were injured in the car crash that Rashee Rice was involved in last month are now suing the NFL star ... asking that he fork over more than $10 MILLION for his role in the wreck.

Edvard Petrovskiy and Irina Gromova filed the lawsuit in Dallas County last week -- less than a month after they say Rice's reckless actions caused them injuries in a massive pileup on a Texas highway.

Petrovskiy and Gromova say on March 30, Rice was in a Lamborghini Urus, racing his friend Theodore Knox -- who was in a Corvette -- when the two lost control and barreled into other innocent drivers on the roadway.

G. Dep is doing his best to keep up with an advanced America after serving a 13-year bid ... 'cause he's been playing brain games with smartphones.

In his first interview since being released at the top of the month, the ex-Bad Boy artist explained to "The Art Of Dialogue" that his biggest challenge in freedom has been learning all the ins and outs of a social media society.

The 49-year-old Harlem rapper says he's still getting adjusted to buying store items with apps on his phone and says the pay-to-ride mopeds scattered across the streets also gave him a bit of a culture shock.

He also noted an improvement in architecture ... NYC, skyscrapers and everything!!!

G. Dep confessed to a 1993 cold case shooting back in 2010, which wound up being a homicide after NYPD did some digging and he was eventually convicted of 2nd-degree murder.

He was freed on April 4 and granted a 6-month early release but doesn't regret his decision to turn himself in.

Hannah Gutierrez-Reed was just sentenced in her criminal case -- and she's going to prison for a while ... this after a jury found her guilty over the fatal shooting of Halyna Hutchins.

The former "Rust" armorer -- who was convicted of manslaughter for her role in Hutchins' death -- received a sentence of 18 months behind bars Monday in front of a New Mexico judge. She'll serve her time at a women's correctional facility in the state.

Hannah was able to speak before learning her fate ... addressing the court directly and pleading for mercy -- but more specifically, for probation. Obviously, the judge didn't bite.

A man in North Carolina paid the ultimate price after trying to stop a carjacking ... with the driver running him over and killing him in a now-viral video.

The video -- which hit social media just this weekend though the incident took place last month -- sees a Lumberton, NC man in a reflective construction vest come up to the side of a tow truck and point what looks to be a gun at another man.

Gunshots pop off ... and, though it's hard to tell, it seems the two men are exchanging gunfire because the man outside the truck doesn't stand still and fire.

O.J. Simpson's acquittal in his 1994 murder trial remains one of the most controversial verdicts to date, but a member of his defense -- the so-called Dream Team -- stands by the strategies they used to get him off.

Perhaps the most controversial of their strategies was playing the "race card" during the trial ... a decision attorney Carl Douglas defends, claiming both sides knew race would play a factor in the case.

He tells TMZ ... "The prosecution played the race card as well when they brought on a Black prosecutor (Christopher Darden) for the first time when the jury was all assembled on the first day of trial."

2:22 PM PT -- Ippei Mizuhara showed up to his court appearance with shackles around his ankles ... although the chains were ultimately removed as the hearing got underway.

During the proceedings, Mizuhara -- wearing a dark-colored suit -- learned he will be released on $25,000 bond ... but he will have to abide by a myriad of conditions in order to stay out of custody -- including no gambling whatsoever.

Mizuhara will also have to enroll in a gamblers addiction treatment program ... as well as, among other stipulations, have no communication with Shohei Ohtani.

Ben McLemore is breaking his silence days after he was arrested and charged with rape, adamantly claiming he's not guilty of the horrific crime!

The 10-year NBA vet was arrested Tuesday on a first-degree rape charge in Multnomah County, Oregon ... and later transferred to Clackamas County Jail on Wednesday.

McLemore, who was released after posting bond, addressed the sex crime accusation in a statement Thursday night.

“I did not rape this woman,” the 31-year-old said. “I am not sexually abusive. I have never pursued a sexual relationship when I understood the woman was not interested in me and acting willingly.”

As for what he's accused of doing ... Police say a woman claims McLemore sexually assaulted her at his Lake Oswego home in 2021 when BM was a member of the Portland Trail Blazers.

According to police, the investigation was delayed because McLemore was out of the country, playing professional basketball in China, Greece and Spain.

McLemore is facing one count of unlawful sexual penetration and two counts of sexual abuse, in addition to the first-degree rape charge.

The former Kansas University men's basketball star is obviously frustrated with how the case has been handled by authorities so far.

“I met every request they made of me, immediately and professionally," McLemore said.

"I indicated that I was interested in testifying in the grand jury but was refused that opportunity. When my attorneys were informed of the charges, we immediately made plans for me to return to the United States for the first court appearance -- and informed all law enforcement authorities and the Court of my travel plan."

"I could not have done more to assist in the process.”
