Breakups

Safaree Samuels is calling out Nicki Minaj, saying infidelity in their relationship was a 2-way street.

Our photog caught up with Nicki’s ex outside Philippe Chow in Bev Hills and asked him about Nicki’s claims that he cheated on her.

Safaree answered with a little goose and a little gander.

Ray J is throwing a lavish birthday party for the dog he once shared with Princess Love, but he's laying down the law ... she's not gonna screw this pooch.

First the party ... Boogotti the Maltese will be the birthday boy at a $30k blowout at Petrock Hotel and Spa in Encino, CA. He's pulling out all the stops -- a red carpet, a dog treat station and a special cake for pooches. There will also be plenty of human food.

But Princess Love won't be seeing Boo all gussied up in his tux, because she's not invited. The 'Love and Hip Hop' stars had a bitter break up after she bolted with Boo's 3 Maltese mates. They tried working things out but they're on the outs again.

Safaree Samuels' new song might burn up the charts ... but it's definitely going to TORCH every bridge between himself and Nicki Minaj! The track is basically 5 minutes of Nicki's ex-bf bitching about her.

Then again, with subtle lyrics like ... "12 years up in flames, thought you woulda had my kid" -- she might not even realize the song is about her.

Terrence Howard claims his ex-wife tampered with a witness in an effort to cover up her alleged extortion plot to squeeze the actor for a fortune.

Terrence's attorney, Brian Kramer, filed legal docs -- obtained by TMZ -- in which Terrence claims Michelle Ghent tried to strong-arm his brother's wife so she wouldn't blow the lid on the alleged extortion plot.

According to the docs, Michelle told Yvonne Howard she was going to scare Terrence into paying her big money ... scare him by threatening to go public about sexual trysts and other lurid info.

But Terrence says when Michelle learned Yvonne was on his witness list to tell the judge about the extortion, she went to Yvonne and put on a full-court press, trying to dissuade her from taking the stand or being deposed.

Yvonne says in a new declaration, Michelle pressured her, explaining no one could force her to testify. Yvonne also says Michelle urged her to keep their conversation secret, and Yvonne says Michelle pressed so hard it felt like plain intimidation.

Florida State football coach Jimbo Fisher is calling it quits with his wife Candi ... with the two officially separating.

Fisher is one of the highest paid college football coaches in the country ... having signed a $21 million contract with FSU back in January.

Jimbo and Candi -- who have 2 kids together -- have already lawyered up and are already hashing out the terms of the divorce ... this according to the Tallahassee Democrat.

Details surrounding the split are unclear -- but the two seemed pretty happy when they were in L.A. back in December at the Rose Bowl.

Story developing ...

Nicki Minaj was a loving and loyal girlfriend to ex Safaree Samuels until he went and cheated on her ... according to Nicki herself.

In response to Safaree's new and bitter song all about his relationship with Minaj, the "Pink Friday" rapper let a few things off her chest ... tweeting, "Lesson: don't cheat on a loyal woman. God will punish u. When he does, tell people the truth. The truth may set u free. Love. Always."

Minaj deleted that tweet, along with several others, but made sure not to take down the one that probably will hurt Safaree the most: "And just for the record, I'm in love with meek."

Simple, but effective.

More venom from Blac Chyna ... who went out of her way to diss her baby daddy, Tyga, Tuesday night -- and to twist the knife, she bragged about the insane sex she plans to have with her new boxer BF.

Chyna was leaving 1 OAK nightclub in Hollywood when she told us she has BIG BANGIN' PLANS to break J'Leon Love's pre-fight vow of abstinence once the final bell rings on June 20th.

"It's over for him!" Chyna bragged.

That's when the topic turned to Tyga -- and Chyna fired off a few shots in his direction.

Those two have been beefin' ever since they broke up back in August ... and it doesn't seem like it's ending anytime soon.

Nicki Minaj’s ex Safaree Samuels rages in a new song that his blood, sweat and tears made her what she is, yet she treated him like dirt.

Safaree's song “Love The Most” will be released at the end of the week, but we got hold of it, and he's airing as much dirty laundry as he can in 5 minutes.

Among his gripes ... alleged infidelity, refusal to have his baby, coldly rejecting him and rubbing in his nose her new relationship with rapper Meek Mill.

And he even throws in a reference to pills for bad measure.

At one point he says Nicki made him look like Bozo the Fool, rapping: "Had to watch you kiss Nas and pretend it's all cool / Inside I was feeling like a motha f**king fool."

Their 12 year relationship ended last year, and Minaj rebounded with Meek Mill.

Nicki's camp had no comment.

Don't cue the fat lady just yet ... 'cause "Basketball Wives LA" star Draya Michele says her relationship with the NFL's Orlando Scandrick is STILL ALIVE -- telling TMZ Sports, "I love him."

Their relationship has been a bit complicated ... and just last month they announced they had broken up after 2 years together. But Tuesday night, Draya told us she's not "finished" with the Dallas Cowboys star.

Check out the clip ... it doesn't seem like they're officially back on just yet ... but Draya says they're definitely trying to work something out in private.

Chris Brown got burned by friends who told him Karrueche Tran was dying to get back together with him -- which led to the nightclub blowup that made Chris look like an obsessed ex-BF.

Sources close to the former couple tell TMZ ... Chris got a table at Playhouse, right next to Karrueche because their mutual friends told him to do it. The friend network was pumping Chris up ... telling him KT was ready to work things out.

So, as you can imagine ... Chris was shocked that night when Karrueche stormed out of the club.

Fact is, Karrueche never told anyone she wants to get back with Chris. According to our sources, she and Chris figured out the next day that they'd been had. We're told they're cutting off the so-called "friends" behind the conspiracy.

For his part, we're told Chris is fine with moving on ... and wouldn't have gone to Playhouse if he hadn't been set up. It was the first time Chris had seen Karrueche since they broke up over his baby ... and a total disaster.

Brittney Griner says she was blindsided by Glory Johnson's pregnancy announcement -- but it wasn't the fact she was preggo that shocked her, it was the timing.

Griner sat down with ESPN's Kate Fagan and said she was surprised that Johnson went public with the news when she did because "it's very early. It's too early to post or say anything about it."

As TMZ Sports previously reported, sources connected to the couple tell us Johnson has only been pregnant for less than a month.

It's still unclear whether or not Griner wants to have a relationship with the child -- or if she plans on helping out Johnson with the financial situation.

During the interview, Griner re-stated that getting married to Johnson was a "huge mistake" and said she only agreed because she felt pressured into it.

Ariana Grande just came out swinging ... saying she's sick and tired of being referred to as "Big Sean's ex" -- because, "I do not. Belong. To anyone. But myself."

The singer just went off on social media -- saying she HATES the label because, "I am tired of living in a world where women are mostly referred to as a man’s past, present or future PROPERTY/POSSESION."

Grande then blasts society ... saying for the past 8 years she's been made to feel like she needed to have a man by her side or else she would be considered a loser.

"After being on my own now for a few months I am realizing that that's just not the case ... I have never felt more present, grounded and satisfied. I've ever laughed harder or had more fun or enjoyed my life more."

Grande also attacks society's sexual double standard -- saying:

"If a women has a lot of sex (or any sex for that matter)….she’s a “slut”.
If a man has sex….HE’S. A. STUD. a BOSSSSSS. A KING.
If a woman even TALKS about sex openly….she is shamed!
But if a man talks or RAPS freely about all the women (or more commonly used “bitches”/”hoes”…how lovely) he’s had…he is regaled.
If a woman is seen with a friend with a penis, there is an immediate assumption of romance or sex and she is labeled!!
IF a man is seen with a woman… his status is elevated / celebrated. “AWW SHIIIIT HE SMASHED!!!1!!1!”

As we previously reported, Grande and Big Sean split back in April -- and we're told a big part of the breakup was that Sean referenced Grande's vagina in a song ... saying she has a "billion dollar p***y."

There were also rumors that Grande had rebounded with One Direction's Niall Horan -- but she told The Sun, "A girl can be friends with someone with a d**k and not hop on it."

Boom.

A love child won't stand in the way of burning love ... at least not for Chris Brown who made sure he left the club WITH Karrueche Tran -- but it looks like her friends weren't down with it.

CB rolled up to Playhouse Thursday night in a sick new Lambo ... Karrueche showed a short time later. It seemed she was there because her BFF Christina Milian was the host for the night ... something Chris clearly knew.

Apparently Chris performed a magic show inside -- because he and Karrueche left together in the same SUV, leaving the Lambo behind. But pay close attention to the end of the video. One of KT's friends asks Chris to stay out of their SUV, but he tells her ... "Move to the back" ... and hops in anyway.

A second angle (below) shows that Chris ended up squeezing on to the same seat as Karrueche.

So, the question is -- did she WANT him to get in, and if NOT ... why didn't SHE get out? You'll recall ... Karrueche said she was done with Chris for good when baby Royalty hit the scene.

He should give seminars.

Bobby Flay got a big honor Tuesday with his very own star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, but it was not exactly a banner day for the famous chef.

As Bobby raised his fist in victory, someone else gave him the fist ... in the form of a flying indictment, calling him a "Cheater."

The banner -- tethered to an airplane high above Hollywood -- clearly refers to allegations in his super bitter divorce with estranged wife Stephanie March. The actress has alleged in legal docs that Bobby cheated on her.

We don't know who commissioned the banner, but it flew around the area for about an hour.

Jean-Claude Van Damme's wife has had a change of heart, according to him, because he's no longer headed for divorce court.

The awesome actor is all over the place in our video, explaining the reason for the reconciliation. First he suggests it's for the benefit of their kids, but then waxes poetic about his love for wife Gladys, who filed divorce docs back in March ... pulling the plug on their 15-year marriage.

The Muscles from Brussels and Gladys were married before ... between '87 and '92. They remarried in '99.

Hopefully, third time's a charm.

Cody Simpson isn't crying his baby blues out over his split from supermodel Gigi Hadid.

Our photog caught the Aussie pop singer with a gang of pals – hot, young females included -- in Hollywood Wednesday night and asked about his new-found freedom ... and Simpson didn't exactly say it sucks.

On the flipside, Hadid’s been spotted having a good time on rich guys' yachts in the Mediterranean ...so the feeling must be mutual.
