Paul George Chad Ochocinco Ain't The FIFA King ... 'He Can't Beat Me!'
Chad Ochocinco is more FIFA Prince than FIFA King ... 'cause Paul George OWNS the ex-NFL superstar in the video game -- so says the Thunder stud himself.
Chad -- who's dubbed himself the "FIFA King" many times over the years -- has been obsessed with the soccer game ... and is a legend in the gaming community for showing up to random people's houses to pick up the sticks.
But PG-13 says the ex-NFL star is all talk ... and he NEVER wins when the two play.
"There's one person that can't beat me ... Ochocinco," Paul told TMZ Sports at the Fortnite Pro-Am on Wednesday.
It's huge if true ... 'cause just the other day Chad said he was in the FIFA lab for EIGHT STRAIGHT HOURS.
So ... forget the Fortnite tourneys -- let's see THIS matchup ASAP!!

Drake 'Degrassi' Vid Wasn't Smoke Screen From Pusha T Beef
Drake's new music video for "I'm Upset" -- with his 'Degrassi' castmates -- wasn't a clever distraction from his beef with Pusha T ... but it was a bad, and unavoidable, coincidence.
Drizzy took a ton of heat for releasing the video while fans were dying for him to respond to Push. It came off like he was using the whole 'Degrassi' reunion thing as a smoke screen for the drama.
However, sources close to production tell us they started planning for the single's release and video weeks before it was even shot.
As we reported, Pusha T released "The Story of Adidon" -- a diss track that revealed Drake has a secret son -- on Tuesday, May 29. We're told the "I'm Upset" shoot schedule was set for last weekend, before Push's track came out, and neither Drake nor his team felt it needed to change.
Drizzy revealed Wednesday night he'll release his new album, "Scorpion," on June 29 -- so, it's still possible he'll fire back then.
However, as we've told you, powerful people around him are advising against it.

Brody Jenner & Kaitlynn Carter Shade Caitlyn for Dodging Wedding
Brody Jenner and his bride are back in L.A. after their kick-ass destination wedding ... but they're obviously still kinda salty about Caitlyn deciding NOT to attend.
We got Brody and Mrs. Kaitlynn Carter Jenner Wednesday evening at LAX as they returned from tying the knot on an exotic Indonesian island. We asked Brody if there were any plans to send a video of their magical day to anyone (*cough, cough* Caitlyn) who might have missed the wedding.
Brody scoffed at the idea but you have to see what the missus stepped in and said -- a barely subtle jab.
TMZ broke the story ... Brody was deeply hurt Caitlyn wasn't gonna attend, instead choosing to attend a benefit in Vienna.
The wound is still fresh.

Logan Paul and KSI Going Full Mayweather, McGregor ... Crazy News Conf. Scheduled
Let the trash talk begin!!!!
Logan Paul and KSI are ripping a page from Mayweather vs. McGregor and holding a massive news conference at the L.A. Coliseum for their full-contact beatdown ... and it's all going down this weekend!
As we previously reported, the two social media stars have agreed to fight each other on August 25 in Manchester, England ... and there's talk it could bring in more viewers than Conor vs. Floyd.
Besides Logan and KSI, both of their younger brothers -- Jake Paul and Deji -- will also be participating in the presser ... since they're also fighting each other that night.
Logan is taking the fight VERY seriously -- he's been training like a maniac and beating the hell out of his sparring partners.
KSI has trained up at Floyd Mayweather's gym in Vegas ... and already has one boxing victory under his belt.
As for the presser, both of these guys are famous for running their mouths ... so this should be good!

Tekashi69 I Dropped $75k on Your Baby Mama, Chief Keef ... And I Groped Her, Too!!!
Tekashi69 is adding more fuel to the fire in his war with fellow rapper Chief Keef, this time by taking Keef's baby mama, Slim Danger, out on a $75k shopping spree at Gucci for her birthday.
Tekashi posted a clip at the Gucci store in NYC with stacks in his hand and Slim, who calls out Keef as a deadbeat dad in the clip. "If you don't know how to take care of your girl, n***as gonna take care of her for you," 6ix9ine chimes in. He later copped a feel too.
We're told the two happened to run into one another while Slim was in town to celebrate her bday. She's cool with Tekashi's Tr3way family, so Tekashi took her shopping to celebrate.
Slim made off with a fanny pack, sunglasses, wallet, and a dress ... totaling more than $75k. Unclear if she got to keep the giant 69 chain around her neck.
As we previously reported ... the two rappers have ongoing beef that's been going back and forth on social media, and doesn't look like Tekashi's squashing it anytime soon.
Your move, Keef.

Tekashi69 Gimme Chief Keef Beef on My Tour!!! Oh, and Lotsa Skittles
Tekashi69 isn't trying to hide it, he's got a major sweet tooth when it comes to his upcoming tour, but he also feels the need for more beef ... with Chief Keef.
We got a hold of 6ix9ine's list of demands for his European tour, which kicks off this week. While there's the usual fried chicken and meat tray requests, the rapper also has to have a copy of Chief Keef's CD, "Bang 3, Pt. 2" in all his dressing rooms.
That particular Keef record peaked at 78 in 2015, so we're guessing Tekashi only wants it around to troll his rival. Or maybe to play Frisbee.
They've had heated exchanges on social media recently, and Keef was shot at in NYC earlier this month. The bullet missed, and while many suspected Tekashi's crew was involved ... 6ix9ine flat-out denied it on "TMZ Live."
As for the sweet stuff, Tekashi wants 69 (clever) bags of Skittles at each stop, as well as ...
-- Chocolate chip cookies
-- 3 packs of Trident gum
-- 2 bags of Peanut M&M's
-- 1 large bag of Twizzlers
If Keef doesn't get him ... diabetes might.

Swizz Beatz & Timbaland Beat Battle Was So Good We're Hitting the Road!!!
Swizz Beatz wasn't kidding when he said his beat battle with Timbaland was "to be continued" -- the hip-hop icons are planning a tour.
The mega producers joined us on "TMZ Live" to talk about the stage battle they had Sunday night at Hot 97's Summer Jam concert -- and they revealed it was NOT a one-off. In fact, Swizz said it was so good, turning it into a full-fledged tour -- with superstar guests -- just makes too much sense.
ICYMI ... about a year ago, Timbaland accepted Swizz's challenge to a beat battle and when it finally went down Sunday, the crowd went nuts. Swizz said onstage, "This is to be continued. I ain't finished with the ass-whopping and I guess he ain't [either]."
Swizz threw down another challenge and Tim accepted. We know this ... the more trash talking they do ... the doper their show will be.

Mike Tyson Throws Drink At Don King ... We Ain't Friends!!
Wondering if Mike Tyson still hates Don King? The answer's yes. How much? A lot ... 'cause the legendary boxer straight-up chucked his drink at the promoter Saturday night!!
It all went down at the Boxing Hall Of Fame Induction Weekend in Canastota, NY ... when King tried to give Tyson a friendly tap on the shoulder ... and Mike returned the gesture with some water to his face!!
Tyson's explanation for it was pretty simple the following day -- WE AIN'T FRIENDS!!
"He talked in there like he was my friend and that was just bullcrap," Tyson said.
"He really did me in."
Remember, Iron Mike and Don have had beef for a long time ... with Tyson at one point suing him for $100 MILLION alleging Don cheated him out of a TON of money when he used to promote Mike's fights.
Clearly ... the only ice that has thawed in their relationship are the cubes Tyson threw at him Saturday.

Tyron Woodley Kanye Finessed Everybody ... His Album Is Genius
Kanye West took us all for a crazy ride ... and brilliantly created that bizarre media firestorm as part of a diabolical plot to promote his new album -- so says Tyron Woodley.
The UFC champ had always been skeptical about Kanye's outbursts -- including the one during "TMZ Live" -- and had been adamant Yeezy was putting on an erratic front to grab headlines.
And after listening to Kanye's new album ... Tyron says he is CERTAIN he's right -- because he thinks it is the work of a pure genius.
Woodley spells the whole thing out in this week's "The Hollywood Beatdown With Tyron Woodley" -- where he also blasts hecklers and finally addresses UFC contender Colby Covington ... threatening to beat his ass.
Make sure to catch new eps of the 'Hollywood Beatdown' every Friday on the TMZ Sports YouTube channel.

Maury Hey, Drake, Come On My Show To Find Out If ... You Are The Father
Maury Povich just extended a red carpet invite to Drake to come on his show, take a paternity test and prove once and for all if he's got a kid.
We got Maury at LAX Thursday, and to say he's eager to have Drake come on his show and take a DNA test that proves his paternity would be an understatement.
Maury says he's offered his expertise to other rappers in the past, most recently a lie detector test to Cardi B and Offset who went through a rough patch shortly before she announced she's pregnant.
It's actually not a bad call for Drake. Many feel Drizzy took the L by staying silent after Pusha T allegedly beat him to the punch and hinted he had a son with porn star Sophie Brussaux on his diss track, "The Story of Adidon."
It'd make an excellent music video too.

UFC's Mickey Gall CM Punk's A Liar 'He Don't Want A Rematch'
CM Punk says he would LOVE to get back in the cage with Mickey Gall ever since he got destroyed in their tilt two years ago ... but Gall says Punk's a liar -- telling TMZ Sports, "HE DON'T WANT THAT!!"
Gall is convinced Punk's been talking about running it back knowin' damn well the UFC won't let the former WWE star back in the Octagon with him and let him get his ass kicked AGAIN.
"I think he's a liar. I think he's a liar. I don't think he actually wants that," Mickey told us.
"I don't think they'll let that happen to him again."
BUT ... Gall says there is a scenario where he WOULD give Punk a rematch -- and it involves CM's bout with Mike Jackson at UFC 225 this weekend.
Speaking of which ... having beaten both Punk and Jackson in the past couple years -- we had to ask Mickey for his take on who'll win Saturday night ... and his answer might surprise you!!

Dennis Graham Goes Where Drake Won't ... Shades Pusha T!!!
Drake's dad, Dennis Graham, is throwing gasoline on a fire that's supposedly extinguished ... by taking some shots at his son's rap rival, Pusha T.
We got Dennis leaving Delilah on Wednesday night in WeHo and wanted to ask him something about Pusha. As we told you ... Drake's had a new diss track locked and loaded, but didn't release it after J Prince told him to stand down.
Dennis, apparently, didn't get that message. Now, we're not saying this even rises to the level of "Duppy Freestyle" ... it's more like Dad-style shade.
Still, Dennis claims Pusha's just not on his radar. Or so he claims.

Tekashi69 Blames Chief Keef's Music for Shooting ... Throws Jab at J. Cole
Tekashi69 is distancing himself from any involvement in the attempted shooting of Chief Keef, and says Keef's got no one to blame ... but himself.
The Brooklyn rapper told us Wednesday, on "TMZ Live," Keef's a gangsta rapper who promotes violence ... and claimed that's the real reason he's getting heat on the streets. As we reported, shots were fired at Keef last weekend in NYC, but missed.
6ix9ine insists the violence isn't coming from him ... and claims he's never even shot a gun.
But, you've gotta see his reaction to all the violence around him lately. Tekashi says it's just part of life for rappers, and ditto for fans. And then -- because the Keef beef isn't enough -- he hurled a shot at J. Cole and his fans!
Zero you-know-whats given.

Wiz Khalifa It's All Love with Ye 2016 Twitter Beef Squashed
Wiz Khalifa has accepted Kanye West's olive branch, saying he'd be willing to give the dude some of the weed that started their feud more than 2 years ago.
We got Wiz Monday night leaving Poppy in WeHo, where we asked if he'd heard Kanye shouting him out on his new track, "Yikes." Wiz says he loved the hypothetical peace-pipe moment Yeezy rapped about and would even be down to share some Khalifa Kush, his personal strain.
Hit this kk and become yourself.
@wizkhalifa
In case you missed it ... Kanye lashed out at Wiz in 2016 over what he perceived to be a shot at his wife, Kim. In response, he said Wiz had gotten trapped by a stripper by having a kid with Amber Rose. He later apologized for the misunderstanding.
That's all in the past now, though. Wiz appears to be completely over the spat, and liked the "Yikes" line too. Something must be in the air with all this beef squashing going on.

J Prince Drake Would've Ended Kanye With Next Pusha T Diss Track
Kanye West should consider himself lucky Drake isn't firing back at Pusha T, 'cause the track he recorded would've blown up Ye's career ... according to James Prince.
The Rap-A-Lot Records CEO tells us Drake was, in fact, ready to respond to Pusha's "The Story of Adidon" before J Prince stepped in and told him to stand down. According to Prince, what Drake had "cocked and loaded" would've "ended" Kanye, and caused a lot of pain. He insists they're not in the business of destroying families ... which is why he told Drizzy to stand down.
J Prince also doubled down on not resorting to a "pig pen mentality," which he clearly believes Pusha did by attacking Drake's mom, dad, and terminally ill producer. He doesn't consider this an L for Drake either -- despite what fans might be saying.
Of course, Pusha might look at it as a W -- he was hailed as a hero during Kanye's album listening party last week. Shortly after that, Kanye himself said the feud was "dead."
I’ve never been about beef I’m about love lines were crossed and it’s not good for anyone so this is dead now
@kanyewest
Hard to say if Ye was getting ahead of a potential situation, but that's all moot now ... 'cause the beef is officially squashed. BTW, Prince's book, 'The Art and Science of Respect,' is out now and he talks about some other famous rap beefs, which didn't end well.

Shaunie O'Neal Gloria Govan & Derek Fisher's Wedding? IT'S A NO FOR ME
Seems there's only one way Shaunie O'Neal would attend Gloria Govan & Derek Fisher's wedding ... OVER HER DEAD BODY ... telling TMZ Sports that's one party she ain't down for.
Derek & Shaq won 3 rings together as Lakers and were tight bros, so one might assume Shaunie could possibly want to attend the nuptials.
Hell no. We got Shaunie at LAX and asked her if she plans on attending, and if the words out of her mouth didn't tell the whole story, the look on her face CLEARLY did.
"No, I don't so. No, I don't think I'll be going to that."
If you didn't know, the ladies have deep issues, stemming from Shaunie's belief that Gloria's sister, Laura, was messing around with Shaq while Shaunie was married to the Diesel.
It led to a HUGE blowup on a past episode of 'Basketball Wives' where Shaunie confronted Gloria ... and it's clear the whole thing isn't water under the bridge.
We're not sure whether it'll be chicken or fish at the wedding ... but, in this case ... it's clearly beef.
