Comedian Akilah Hughes recently fired shots at Keegan-Michael Key's wife in a video that's spread like wildfire on Reddit, claiming the controlling spouse has been a detriment to the actor's career ... but we're told her story is BS.

Here's the deal ... during Akilah's standup set she uses a not-so-clever code -- "Lock and Banana" -- while talking about sketch comedy icons Key and Jordan Peele. She says she and KMK pitched and sold a show around the time of the pandemic, but it got upended in the 11th hour, because Keegan-Michael's wife, Elle, caused too many waves as an executive producer.

Seven candidates for California governor duked it out onstage during Tuesday night's debate -- and two of them got into a heated argument over immigration, with one admitting he was an Oath Keeper!

Former Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa got into a fiery back-and-forth with Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco while discussing undocumented immigrants committing crimes in California.

Villaraigosa, a Democrat, said if an undocumented immigrant killed someone, they should be incarcerated. But Bianco, a Republican, said it's already too late at that point, meaning the crime has already been committed.     

As they talked over each other, Villaraigosa called Bianco a "bully" and an "Oath Keeper." Bianco responded that he's "very proud" of his affiliation with the group, but later claimed he's no longer a part of it. Check out the clip. It gets pretty ugly.
