Iggy Azalea Macklemore Does Have a Point ... Just Not About Me
Macklemore's got his panties in a bunch over nothing according to Iggy Azalea, who's finally responding to his perceived jab at her on "White Privilege II."
We just got Iggy at LAX and asked if she agreed with any parts of Macklemore's song, in which he raises all kinds of questions about white artists doing black music.
Shocker? She actually gave Mack some props. Up to a point. As for the accusation she's "taking" from hip-hop -- Iggy says it's okay because everybody's doing it.
That excuse would NOT fly with Mom.
Martin Shkreli You Dissing Me, TMZ?!
Martin Shkreli already pissed off Wu-Tang Clan, Ghostface Killah and the feds -- and now he thinks he's got beef with TMZ.
The controversial pharma exec came on "TMZ Live" to explain why he would threaten Ghostface on camera when he's facing federal prosecution ... for securities fraud.
The exchange was hysterical. Watch ... Shkreli claims he didn't actually threaten GK, and took major offense when we suggested he was only pretending to play the villain.
He did give us a few words about the top secret Wu album -- "Once Upon a Time in Shaolin" -- he bought for $2 mil. Not kind words, but still ...

Max B to Wiz & Kanye Ride My Wave To Positivity
Rapper Max B -- the man originally in the middle of Kanye West and Wiz Khalifa's feud -- is riding the wave of publicity in hopes it will help spring him from prison.
Max B, who's behind bars serving a 75 year sentence for armed robbery and murder, just released a new song called "My Wave" from behind bars.
For those not in the know ... B's credited with popularizing "wavy" hip-hop -- which he defines as "a futuristic way of describing something in a positive connotation." Wiz accused 'Ye of jacking his term when he changed his album title to "Waves."
Max B dropped this new track, recorded over a prison call with his producer. It's lo-fi, but catchy and his message for Kanye is clear -- "you can't keep riding my wave."
Max B also used the extra attention to plug a Free Max B petition. Smart.
Im truly flattered by all the emulations. Thnks for the love&support. Lets stay positive. My petiton is available on https://t.co/m5qJkDGJ0R

Martin Shkreli Shut Your Mouth Ghostface Killah My Goons Will Take You Out!!
Ghostface Killah from Wu-Tang Clan just made a BIG mistake by mocking Martin Shkreli ... according to Shkreli who's now making a slew of threats against Ghost.
TMZ obtained a video the pharma exec recorded while wearing his hardest sport coat, with 3 masked men standing behind him. Shkreli, who dropped $2 mil for Wu-Tang's one-of-a-kind album, is pissed Ghostface referred to him as the "Michael Jackson nose kid."
You gotta watch his video threat. It's a little scary, and a lot entertaining. Think ISIS ... on 'SNL.' The best part -- he refers to Ghost by his "government name" ... Dennis. Major diss.
Shkreli -- who's still awaiting trial for securities fraud -- even threatens to erase GK's voice from the "Once Upon a Time in Shaolin" album ... which you can hear playing in the background. Another reason this is must see.
Watch. And laugh.
Amber Rose Kanye's a 'F***ing Clown'
Amber Rose went off on Kanye West for going off on her, saying she jumped into the war when he attacked her son.
Amber went on the podcast "Allegedly" Wednesday and said Kanye's a "f***ing clown" for going off on his tirade and denigrated her and son Sebastian.
The hosts, Matt Cole Weiss and Theo Von, covered all the bases during their 30 minute interview. In the preview obtained by TMZ, Amber doesn't hold back, although she's a little coy about her comment directed at Kanye, "Are you mad I'm not around to play in ur a**hole?"
The podcast will be released on iTunes Friday.
Khloe to Chyna 'Get the F*** Out of My House!'
Rob Kardashian didn't leave Khloe's house to live with Blac Chyna ... Khloe threw him out -- this according to sources familiar with the situation.
We're told it all went down last week, when Khloe returned home early from a trip promoting her new show. She walked into the kitchen and found Rob and Chyna standing there. There were liquor bottles and trash strewn about, and it appeared the 2 had been there for days.
Our sources say Khloe became enraged and asked Chyna, "What the f*** are you doing in my house?" The 2 bolted into Rob's wing and locked the door ... Khloe followed suit and told them both to "get the hell out." Khloe made it clear to Rob, he was no longer welcome in her home.
We're told Khloe's view was that she was exercising tough love on Rob, because she felt he was falling off the wagon and Chyna was preying on him.
Our sources say Rob's family was especially indignant when she learned Rob had purchased some expensive items for Chyna, and he doesn't have a lot of money to burn.
And we're told, there's a reason there's bad blood between Chyna and the Kardashian women. We're told when Tyga first hooked up with Kylie, Chyna followed Kylie around and harassed her. The sources say she also sent her threatening messages.

Neil deGrasse Tyson just clapped back at B.o.B -- ASTROPHYSICS style, bruh!
Neil tried to close the book on their "flat Earth" beef by going on 'The Nightly Show' and doing a little spoken word. The bit was funny, but outside ... Neil told us he's serious about convincing B.o.B he can't fall off the edge of the world -- if the rapper's serious about learning.
Check out the clip ... Neil also gives props to his nephew for recording a response diss track to B.o.B.
This is science's version of Kanye vs. Wiz. The Earth is Amber Rose in this scenario.

Wale WWE Beef Squashed I Want To Work For Vince!!
Wrestling superfan Wale is back in the fold with the WWE after almost 2 years of feeling "blackballed" ... and celebrated backstage at "Monday Night Raw."
The rapper got to hang out and take pics with Triple H, The Rock and even Vince McMahon during the Miami event this week -- a huge shift in his relationship with the WWE.
Wale used to attend pro wrestling events all the time, but in the past he's told TMZ Sports he's felt frozen out since he fought with a heckling WWE fan. He says the cold war started to end when he recently got chummy with some WWE higher-ups.
Fast forward to Monday when Wale finally scored backstage access, and now he's aiming even higher -- "I actually want to work there and I don't know if [Vince and Triple H] heard about good Wale or bad Wale. Or if they even know what a Wale is."
For the record, a WWE rep says there was never any official ban ... but clearly things have changed a lot since 2014.
Kanye West Steams Up .. Don't Ask Me About Wiz Beef!!
Kanye West went all Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde when the topic of his war with Wiz Khalifa came up just now at LAX.
Kanye was clearly NOT in the mood to talk about the beef, but you have to see his reaction to our guy asking if he regrets bringing Wiz's kid into the conversation.
Just watch ... it's extraordinary, because Yeezy briefly flashes back to the guy who was always angry at paparazzi -- and then, just as quickly, he bottles that anger.
The way this clip ends is remarkably friendly.
'Little Women: LA' Bar Brawl Video ... Face Shots & Glasses Flying
We just got the first footage of the "Little Women: LA" bar fight -- and it's as vicious as advertised, and includes the head shot that sent one cast member to the hospital.
Check out the video -- Christy McGinity Gibel and Terra Jole are the main combatants ... screaming at each other before unloading their full drinks.
As TMZ first reported, Christy suffered bruises on the brain, according to production sources -- and there's crystal clear video of Terra's glass hitting Christy. From the clip, it's hard to tell if the container's plastic or glass ... but our sources say Christy believes it was glass.
Christy's filed a report with cops, and if this ends up in court ... you're watching exhibit A.

Amber Rose to Kanye West No More Ass Play for You ... After Wiz Attack
Wiz Khalifa might have gone silent in his war with Kanye West, but Amber Rose is firing back with a shot ... right up the ole wazoo.
Amber clearly watched the Twitter war erupt, then decided to clap back at Yeezy -- "are u mad I'm not around to play in ur a**hole anymore? #FingersInTheBootyAssBitch"
Her coup de grace ... the index finger emoji. Awesome.
Kanye's since scrubbed the nastiest of his shots at Wiz, and Amber noticed -- "Now you wanna delete your tweets cuz Muva has arrived? #TwitterFingers#UrGettingBodiedByAStripperN***a"
We'll say this, Kanye got personal first, by dragging Wiz and Amber's son into the beef. Amber just made it way more personal ... and revealing.
Kanye to Wiz You Let a Stripper Trap You ... And Her Name's Amber
12:00 PM PST -- Kanye just backed off a little, saying ...
-- "What's sad is I love Wiz and I love all all my brothers and all people"
-- "I love the world bottom line and all I want is peace and positive energy"
Kanye West has just gone on the attack against Wiz Khalifa, trashing his ex-girlfriend, Amber Rose, by scoffing at Wiz, for getting "trapped" by a "stripper."
The blow-up followed Kanye's decision to change the name of his album from "Swish" to "Waves." Wiz fired back that "Waves" is a hip-hop term for another rapper's style ... Max B, who's currently in prison.
Wiz felt Kanye was jacking Max B's style without giving him credit.
That's all it took ... Kanye went off in classic Kanye mode:
-- "First of all, you stole your whole s*** from Cudi."
-- "Your first single was corny as f***."
-- "You let a stripper trap you"
-- "I know you mad every time you look at your child that this girl got you for 18 years."
-- "I am your OG and I will be respected as such."
-- "Don't ever in your f****** life speak sideways about a n***a that's fighting for us. I do this for all of us."
-- "I showed you respect as a man when I met you. You wouldn't have a child if it wasn't for me."
-- "You own waves???? I own your child!!!!"
-- "Don't even hint at mentioning me my family or my wife I am your OG"
-- "Thank you for the extra promotion #WAVES available February 11th"
It goes on and on.
What's interesting ... as we reported, the Kardashians are livid at Blac Chyna for allegedly luring Rob into her clutches. Amber is Chyna's best friend who, by the way, is getting close to Scott Disick.
Rob Kardashian I'm Shackin' Up with Blac Chyna
Rob Kardashian packed a suitcase and moved in with Blac Chyna ... at least temporarily ... TMZ has learned.
Rob, who was living at Khloe's house, has been at B.C.'s digs for 5 days and counting. As for how it happened ... we're told Rob made the first move by DM'ing Chyna 2 weeks ago.
We're told Rob genuinely likes Chyna and is not hooking up to upset his family ... but we're told it has definitely upset the Kardashian brood. Kylie has been at war with Tyga's baby mama for more than a year.
Rob is using Chyna's home fitness equipment to train, with a little inspirational help from her.
Rob and Chyna have known each other for a long time ... since she lived across the street from the Kardashians.
Our sources say the Kardashians are outraged at Rob's hookup. They believe Chyna is manipulating everything and that SHE is the one who first reached out. They also say she's behind Rob's sudden interest in Instagram postings. They believe Rob's horribly depressed and she's playing into his insecurities for her own gain.

She shouldn't hold her breath. Chelsea is beyond outraged at comments Heather made on the podcast "Allegedly," where she said the talk show host was a handful.
