Una manifestante negra y pro Palestina fue llamada "Lizzo" por un grupo de protestantes blancos durante un acalorado enfrentamiento esta semana y recibió insultos racistas que la comparaban con un mono.

La horrible escena ocurrió el jueves en la Universidad de Mississippi, cuando los ánimos entre las facciones pro-Palestina y pro-Israel se calentaron en el campus luego de que un grupo de hombres se centrara en una mujer negra del lado palestino de las cosas.

Ella estaba sola de pie y filmando todo mientras los hombres, la mayoría de ellos blancos, la insultaban repetidamente sobre su peso, invocando el nombre de Lizzo y llamándola "perra", además de otros insultos explícitos.

A Black pro-Palestine protester was called "Lizzo" by a group of white counter-protesters during a heated faceoff this week ... and she received racist taunts likening her to a monkey.

The ugly scene went down Thursday at the University of Mississippi -- with both pro-Palestine and pro-Israel factions holding dueling protests right there on the campus, which got heated when a group of bros zeroed in on a Black female on the Palestine side of things.

She was standing there all alone and filming them ... and the men, most of whom were white, could be heard repeatedly insulting her weight -- invoking Lizzo's name to get the point across ... all while calling her a "bitch" and other explicit insults.

Las peleas entre Britney Spears y su actual novio Paul Soliz no comenzaron el miércoles en el hotel Chateau Marmont en Sunset Strip, nos dicen que hay un historial de conflictos.

Lo que es más, durante el viaje Paul habría manejado y dañado su Mercedes, nos dicen.

Drake hasn't responded to Kendrick Lamar's "6:16 in L.A." -- but Akademiks captured his own reaction in real-time after learning K. Dot also flamed him!!!

Kendrick quips on the track, "Yeah, somebody's lyin', I can see the vibes on Ak/ Even he lookin' compromised, let's peel the layers back" -- all of which was a total surprise to Ak, who couldn't believe he was being targeted.

It's not like Kendrick pulled Ak's favoritism out of thin air ... Drake actually used a sound bite of Ak ranting at Kendrick on "Push Ups" -- still, Ak maintains he checks his bias at the door when it comes to reporting.

Willis Reed, Walt Clyde Frazier, and Patrick Ewing are generally considered the greatest Knicks ever, but the trio of Hall of Famers may have to slide over ... 'cause diehard NYK fan, Fat Joe, says Jalen Brunson's on the verge of being the G.O.A.T.!

"[Jalen's] so close to being the greatest Knick ever," Crack told Babcock on the "TMZ Sports" TV show (airs nightly on FS1), adding ... "So close, and in such short time."

Of course, the hip-hop superstar grew up in The Bronx, New York, and has been a loyal Knicks fan through the good, and unfortunately for New Yorkers, many bad times in his 5 decades as an NYK supporter.

Britney Spears and her current boyfriend Paul Soliz didn't start fighting Wednesday at the Chateau Marmont hotel on the Sunset Strip ... we're told there's a history of conflict.

Sources familiar tell TMZ ... Britney and Paul were at the Wynn Las Vegas the last week of December, and we're told they got in an intense fight that was so bad ... when it was over their hotel room was trashed. We're told Britney ended up paying the hotel tens of thousands of dollars to cover the damage.

What's more ... during the trip, we're told Paul was driving and damaged her Mercedes.

Kendrick Lamar's knack for deeper lyrical meanings has fans dissecting his new Drake diss under a microscope, and they're unearthing some interesting Easter eggs ... or so they think.

Fans quickly latched on to the fact K. Dot was flexing on Drake with the "6:16 in LA" title, as the Toronto rapper has several songs in his catalog named after the timestamp in a city.

Social media chatter soon revolved around religious connotations and even anniversaries like Tupac Shakur's birthday -- fans think Kendrick is avenging after Drake's A.I. trick.

Drake's awakened the demon in Kendrick Lamar, and apparently, Akademiks has too -- K. Dot just unleashed another diss bomb before they could recover from "Euphoria!!!"

On Friday morning -- 6:16 AM, to be exact -- Kendrick dropped his new track over a bangin’ Al Green sample aimed at Drake’s OVO camp allegedly leaking him info Drake was planning to use against him.

Kendrick clowns Drake for having disloyal hounds around him, dragging his manager Anthony Saleh into the mix … and also targets Ak for instigating on the sidelines and getting his facts screwed up.

Drake ha despertado al demonio de Kendrick Lamar y parece que Akademiks también, porque K. Dot acaba de lanzar otra bomba antes de que pudieran recuperarse de "Euphoria".

El viernes por la mañana, a las 6:16 AM para ser exactos, Kendrick compartió su nueva pista sobre un sample de Al Green dirigido al equipo de Drake en OVO, el que supuestamente le habría filtrado información que Drake estaba planeando usar en su contra.

Kendrick se burla de Drake por tener sabuesos desleales a su alrededor, trapea el suelo con su manager Anthony Saleh y también apunta a Ak por instigar desde el margen.
