The 2 rap stars nearly came to blows -- only to be separated by Cardi B -- back in February, but time has apparently healed their wounds.
Both men also dropped solo tributes to Takeoff on their IGs.
Takeoff was killed last November ... and his mother is currently seeking justice in the form of a lawsuit aimed at the venue where the shooting took place.
The alleged killer, Patrick Xavier Clark, was indicted last month and will stand trial for murder.

Kim Kardashian Happy Birthday, North!!! Pink BDay Bash
Kim Kardashian is one brave mama ... taking a bunch of 10-year-old girls on a party bus to celebrate her daughter, North's 10th birthday, in a pink-themed bash.
Check out all the pics of Kim, Kourtney Kardashian, North and a bunch of her closest friends out Wednesday as they celebrated North turning 10. The crew stayed at a fancy-schmancy hotel in L.A. for the bash ... renting out a party bus to cruise around the city.
North's actual birthday is Thursday, so the sleepover party makes sense.
Kim's been all about pink and even Barbie this week -- hitting a Barbie exhibition with Khloe Kardashian earlier this week -- the two also brought along their daughters Chicago and True as well as nieces, Stormi and Dream.
As for North though, there was no shortage of energy from her party, so you gotta wonder just how much sleep Kim and Kourtney were able to get in wrangling all those kiddos.
Happy birthday, North!!!

Kanye West North & Bianca Hand-in-Hand To Celebrate Ye's 46
Kanye West celebrated his birthday with two very important people by his side, and it appears those same two people are getting along just fine ... as North West and Ye's wife, Bianca Censori, strolled hand-in-hand into his birthday bash.
Check out the pics taken from outside Kanye's party Saturday night in Los Angeles to celebrate his 46th birthday. You see North, wearing her dad's signature black boots and fingers locked with Bianca as the two made their way inside.
It's not the first time North's spent time with Bianca, but she's clearly getting more comfortable with Ye's new wife.
It also appeared North had a series of painful-looking scrapes on her face ... but we're told it's just makeup -- as the 9-year-old likes to experiment with FX looks.
Inside the bash, a DJ played a bunch of Kanye's greatest hits, there was sushi served on models and minimal lighting, mostly by candlelight.
One guest also captured a cute moment between North and Kanye where she recorded him lip-syncing to his song "Off The Grid" while Bianca watched on.
As for other celebs in attendance, it wasn't the A-list filled roster of Kanye parties in the past -- but Chloe Bailey and Ty Dolla Sign both showed face.
Though it should come as no surprise -- no sign of Kim or the rest of the Kardashian family at the party, either.

King Charles Guards Can't Take the Heat ... Pass Out at Bday Rehearsal
King Charles will celebrate his 75th birthday this year, which, if you're in the Royal Family, calls for a massive parade ... but it's the guards dressed in uniform that are paying the price for the bash.
Rehearsals were underway Saturday for Charles' Bday bash -- complete with a massive band who was forced to perform in sweltering temps of around 86°F ... about 20 degrees warmer than usual for this time of year across the pond.
It wasn't long before band members started dropping like flies, passing out from the heat ... and forcing medics to carry them off on stretchers like in a war zone.
At one point, a trombonist, dressed head to toe in a wool uniform went down, attempting to get back up and play before he was whisked away by medical reps.
Prince William, obviously aware to what had happened, tweeted out a thank you to all involved and noted the crazy temps for the area.
If you're familiar, you might know Charles' actual birthday isn't until November, but Palace officials decided it would be too cold to celebrate with a parade during that time of year.
Obviously, that decision makes Saturday's disastrous rehearsal that much more cringe ... but other than the few fainting episodes, everything else seemed to go off without issue.
Months of preparation and training go into Trooping the Colour. Today members of the Household Division will perform their final major rehearsal for the event in front of members of the public in London.
— The Prince and Princess of Wales (@KensingtonRoyal) June 10, 2023 @KensingtonRoyal
With thanks to the Welsh Guards, Household Cavalry and @armyinlondon 🏴💂♂️🐴 pic.twitter.com/mTGxvQzAhJ
The birthday parade is scheduled to take place June 17 ... so let's hope the weather cooperates.

Prince Archie 4th Bday Gift Has Him Rolling ... Harry, Meghan Send Thank You Note
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle shunning the royal family isn't stopping their firstborn from getting a little royal treatment -- turns out Prince Archie's got a sweet gift for his 4th birthday, simply because of his bloodline.
Archie's big surprise arrived on the doorstep of his parents' Montecito home ... a brand-spanking new bike complete with training wheels.
The little prince's birthday was May 6, and he loved the bicycle so much, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex decided to send thanks to the Montecito shop that sent it to him.
Their assistant, Harrison Colcord, typed a letter on behalf of Harry and Meghan and mailed it to the owners of Mad Dogs & Englishmen Bike Shop. If the name doesn't make it obvious ... yes, the owners are British.
It read, "On behalf of Prince Harry and Meghan, The Duke, and Duchess of Sussex, please accept their sincere thanks for the thoughtful gift you sent to Prince Archie for his fourth birthday. The bike has brought much joy and is most appreciated by the family."
Archie's 4th birthday was not without drama. You might recall, Harry was treated like less-than-royalty when he attended last month's coronation of King Charles and Queen Camilla in London amid his ongoing feud with the Royal Family. Harry hightailed out of town to get back to California for Archie's birthday.
According to People ... the bike shop owner told Harry and Meghan's security he's "just a British business in town that wanted to give Archie a gift."
Even all the way in California, that royal lineage is paying dividends for Prince Harry's kids. It's not a silver spoon, but sounds like Archie's digging the bike, nonetheless.

Drake HBD To Lilah ... My 'Confidant' & 💖
Drake's "Search & Rescue" cover star Lilah may be more than just a friend to the megastar rapper gauging from the level of affection his public birthday message displayed!!!
Drake spread a little Gemini love Tuesday, referring to Lilah as his "inspo," "confidant" and "heart" ... not typical terms for someone you only consider a friend.
Earlier in the day, Drake and J Hus dropped a new dancehall ditty titled "Who Told You" where Drake gave her a shoutout ... "So Lilah Pi, don't make my eye cry/Let me hold your controller, I'm not one of the controllin' guys I want you to touch road with the girlsdem, and socialize/Enjoy your life, your backside is so fit, it opens eyes I know the vibes, I know the vibes."
It was just a couple months ago when Lilah's face (part of it, at least) had fans under the impression Drake had linked up with Kim Kardashian ... but turns out, it was Lilah.
Lilah reshared Drake's message while adding a "4L" hashtag of her own to the image.
The Certified Lover Boy may have found his match, ladies!!!

Prince Harry Absent for Opening Day of Trial ... In Tabloid Privacy Case
Prince Harry skipped the opening day of a huge trial he's at the center of -- surrounding alleged privacy breaches via UK tabloids -- and, according to the judge, it's not a good look.
The Duke of Sussex was nowhere to be found Monday as day 1 of a trial in London kicked off, where he's the key plaintiff. Remember, this is the case pertaining to the Daily Mirror -- just one of several publications Harry is suing after years of what he claims were illegal tactics used to spy on him as a youth for consistent story fodder.
Prince Harry Expected to Testify in UK Amid Tabloid Privacy Case
While Harry was officially expected to take the stand Tuesday, the magistrate in this case -- Judge Timothy Fancourt -- had actually instructed PH to be there from the jump ... just in case they got through opening statements quickly and could get to his testimony sooner than later. Fancourt reportedly said he was quite surprised by the Prince's absence.
Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.
As for why Harry bailed, his attorney told the court his travel arrangements were hindered by security requirements ... not to mention his daughter's bday party. Lilibet turned 2 over the weekend, and Harry is said to have hopped on a plane to London right after that.
Despite apparently being in town, Harry's lawyer says he wasn't able to appear in court -- something that the attorneys for the Daily Mirror scoffed at ... as they were prepared to grill him about the articles he claims they ran that allegedly stemmed from dirty journalism.
No word on whether Harry will be punished or admonished by the court for his no-show ... but he'll presumably be there in the flesh tomorrow, and this train can really get going.

12:26 PM PT -- Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre sent food trucks to aide striking workers at Paramount Studios in Los Angeles this afternoon. It wasn't nuthin' but a G thang for them!
Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre don't think their upcoming "Doggystyle" 30th anniversary will be any fun if their homies involved in the Writers Guild of America strike can't get their piece -- so they're moving the date!!!
Like we previously told you, the hip hop legends announced they're taking over the Hollywood Bowl on June 27-28, but on Friday, Snoop announced the new dates as October 20 and 21 ... with the first one being his 52nd C-Day!!!
Sources close to the situation tell TMZ Hip Hop the "Doggystyle" anniversary is designed to be a joyful celebration of the 1993 classic album, and conducting it while having a considerable portion of the creative community in turmoil just didn't sit right with Snoop and Dre.
Flavor Flav Brings Good Music and Food to Support Striking WGA Writers
Snoop has been especially passionate about the issue ... likening Hollywood's paltry conditions to the low payouts artists receive through their existing recording contracts.
The WGA is currently on its 5th week of striking -- with further public support from Lil Wayne and Flavor Flav -- but they've made it clear a negotiation with the Director's Guild of America won't get them instantly off the picket lines.
Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.
We're also told Snoop and Dre are in the process of rolling out lunch orders for the striking writers ... so stay tuned for more updates!!!

Chris Brown Arguing with Usher in New Video ... Amid Reports of Vegas Fight

Exclusive

Usher and Chris Brown got into a heated argument last night -- which apparently led to some sort of a scuffle that got violent outside ... and TMZ has video of the lead-up to that.
Check out this footage that we obtained, which we're told was taken very early Saturday morning at the Skate Rock City roller rink in Vegas ... where CB was celebrating his 34th birthday among a lot of celeb pals, including Usher -- with whom he's incredibly close.
While Usher and co. sang to Chris earlier in the evening when everything was fine, things unfortunately got ugly in the wee hours of the morning ... when eyewitnesses tell us Chris was attempting to talk to Teyana Taylor, who was also in attendance and sitting on a bench just outside of the rink. We're told, for whatever reason, Teyana was ignoring him.
Our sources tell us this pissed Chris off, and he started to yell at her ... and that's when Usher intervened and tried to calm him down. You can see that in our video here.
We're told Chris wasn't having it, cursing at Usher and Teyana -- but then, mostly focusing his anger directly at Usher. Eventually, our sources say Chris told his crew they were leaving and they exited the facility. We're told Usher took off his skates and went after them.
Our eyewitness -- who says they were present for this -- tells us they saw Usher go behind a string of charter buses that were parked in the lot ... where Chris and his crew were at. We're told a short time later, Usher emerged with what appeared to be a bloody nose.
Unclear if he went to the hospital, or if a police report was filed. We've reached out to Vegas Metro -- but haven't heard of anything even remotely resembling this being called in.
Meanwhile ... Usher, Teyana and Chris have all been radio silent this morning -- with none of them having said a thing yet to confirm or deny a report initially put out by Hollywood Unlocked, which broke the news of a fight between the two R&B superstars/friends.
Thing is, Usher is slated to hit the stage tonight there in Vegas for his Lovers & Friends festival ... as is Chris. Unclear if either of them is going to go through with it. We'll see.

As we reported, Ariana and Daniel were first linked when they were spotted suckin' faces at Coachella last month ... as Tom Sandoval was jamming out at a separate music showcase that same weekend.
Some thought Ariana and Daniel were just having fun in the sun, but she ended up sharing some more PDA after she drove him to LAX -- true commitment if ya ask the locals.
Seems like things are still going strong between them ... he must be a keeper, too -- because he's carryin' the shopping bags!
