Celebrity Feuds

4:47 PM PT -- A rep for Bhabie tells TMZ … she was unaware that any additional verse was created, but when she found out that someone on the production team previewed it without her approval, she addressed the issue.

Bhad Bhabie's rep says she acknowledges only the sample that was used was cleared -- backing up Ye's claims. Bhad Bhabie has always prioritized authenticity in her music, the rep adds.

Kanye West doesn't want to be in the middle of controversy ... this time. The 21-time Grammy winner is adamant he is not willingly involved in Bhad Bhabie's dispute with Alabama Barker, calling it an "A.I. beef" after BB used his voice on a diss track.

Ye's Tuesday night Instagram explanation came shortly after the "Hi Bich" hitmaker posted a clip of an alleged remix of her new "Ms. Whitman" diss track that includes a verse by him. "Ms. Whitman" already samples KW and Ty Dolla Sign’s song "Carnival" ... but without Ye's voice.

Kanye says he originally cleared the sample because he says he clears all sample requests ... reasoning that "so many people try to stop me, they stop clearances."

Justin Baldoni’s lawyers are blasting Blake Lively camp for asking for an enhanced protective order ... especially given how Blake has publicly smeared him ... even having her husband make a joke over the situation on "Saturday Night Live."

In a letter to the judge on Tuesday, obtained by TMZ, Baldoni’s lawyers accuse Lively of trying to keep crucial evidence from the public, pointing out that she’s been anything but shy about her accusations in the past. They’re calling her move a bold attempt to keep the public in the dark because they feel her image is tarnished.

In Baldoni's legal letter, his lawyers point out what they call "a planned skit" on "Saturday Night Live: 50th Anniversary Special," last week in which Lively’s husband Ryan Reynolds stood up and made a joke about her claims for sexual harassment and emotional distress.

Last week, Lively’s lawyers filed a motion, claiming the "case involving high-profile individuals and allegations of sexual harassment" needed extra privacy to protect the involved parties from threats and potential witness tampering.

They also claimed identifying the two women from the "It Ends With Us" set would expose them to a "dangerous climate of threats, harassment, and intimidation."

Maitland Ward is spilling the beans on her clash with "Boy Meets World" costar Danielle Fishel now that she’s caught her breath -- and she's telling us she definitely didn’t expect to be cornered like that!

The actress-turned-adult entertainer opened up to TMZ, saying the heated "Pod Meets World" episode wasn’t about DF wanting to truly mend their estrangement, but more about wanting to "give it to her" -- so much so, Maitland says it felt like she suddenly morphed into villainous Regina George.

Catch the video, 'cause Maitland doesn't hold back -- she makes it crystal clear she wasn’t buying any of Danielle’s excuses, like "accidentally" unfriending her on Facebook and leaving her message unread for years.

11:46 AM PT -- Bhad Bhabie went on Instagram live and teased a possible Kanye collab. She posted a snippet of a song that featured Kanye on it, and fans are speculating there may be a Bhad Bhabie and Kanye remix soon.

Bhad Bhabie just dropped a new diss track -- "MS Whitman" -- targeting her nemesis Alabama Barker and making it abundantly clear -- she ain't playin'!

Bhabie's music video takes a direct shot at AB and her famous family, featuring a Travis Barker lookalike who plays the drums as BB twerks around him in white lingerie.

Lyrically, no one is safe either. At one point, Bhabie raps about the Kardashians while claiming Alabama's "stanky p***y got you kicked out the Kardashian house." In real life, Alabama is close with stepmom Kourtney Kardashian.

Was Blake Lively trying to recreate a scene from a 2011 film in last year's "It Ends with Us" that's led to controversy and jealousy? One fan's conspiracy theory has taken off online, and others are noting similarities.

In the 2011 comic book flick "Green Lantern," Blake's character dances with the hero -- her future husband, Ryan Reynolds -- and it seems to resemble a disputed scene in "It Ends with Us" that's part of a harassment lawsuit.

Blake is suing her "It Ends with Us" castmate and director Justin Baldoni for sexual harassment, and her lawsuit describes one scene in which the two slow-dance in a bar -- she says Baldoni nuzzled her neck and whispered into her ear, making her uncomfortable ... and no one was aware of the comment.

Danielle Fishel revisited her heated estrangement from her former "Boy Meets World" costar Maitland Ward -- and it's safe to say, it sparked one heck of a firestorm!

DF had Maitland on the latest "Pod Meets World" episode to chat about her switch to adult entertainment -- but things got heated when Danielle straight-up asked, "Do you hate us?" -- and that’s when the drama really kicked off.

You have to hear the back-and-forth between the two -- 'cause Maitland accused Danielle of actually hating on her.

50 Cent has been backing down both Big and Lil Meech on Instagram for days now ... but we're hearing his ex-'BMF' leading man can't be folded that easily!!!

TMZ Hip Hop obtained photos of Lil Meech kicking it with some well-known 50 Cent opps inside Lucky Strike Miami last night ... Floyd Mayweather and Rick Ross!!!

Sources for Meech tell us the actor met with Money Mayweather the night before and pulled up to the bowling alley with his brand partners to bless the legendary prizefighter with an exclusive merch drop ... the Red Letters x Wonce collab.

Alabama Barker says Bhad Bhabie's new look looks real familiar ... 'cause she sees it in the mirror everyday -- and, she's accusing the rapper of trying to look like her.

The daughter of Travis Barker and burgeoning music star posted to her Instagram story Thursday afternoon about Bhad's new look ... kicking off her post by writing that imitation is the best form of flattery -- clearly a shot aimed at BB.

Alabama adds she's just moving on with her life instead of paying attention to everything other people do ... but, jokes she appreciates all the love that her imitators are showing her.

Blake Lively says she has people to corroborate her complaints against Justin Baldoni ... and, while JB and his team want them to reveal their names, there's one major reason they aren't -- they're terrified of receiving the same treatment as the A-list couple.

Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ ... it shouldn't come as a surprise that the two cast members from "It Ends with Us" who will testify in support of Blake are hiding their identities -- 'cause they don't want to deal with the abuse like Blake and her husband, Ryan Reynolds, are receiving.

Our sources say Steve Sarowitz -- a partner in Wayfarer Studios -- allegedly comparing his retaliatory plan to Israel's campaign against Hamas, plus his willingness to empty coffers to take them down, would rattle anyone ... especially those just getting started in the industry!

As you know ... Blake filed an amended complaint earlier this week in which she said multiple people from the 'IEWU' set would come forward to corroborate her claims of sexual harassment against Justin Baldoni.

She didn't reveal their names ... and Baldoni's lawyer, Bryan Freedman, blasted the whole complaint as hearsay -- from people who were "clearly no longer willing to come forward or publicly support her claims."

Baldoni’s camp tells TMZ … "Ms. Lively, Mr. Reynolds, and their paid representatives initiated this campaign which has severely impacted many private individuals, their livelihoods, and their families.

"Since they’ve yet to show any evidence and continue to blame others for the online vitriol resulting from their own actions, they are now speaking on behalf of alleged third parties who have not come forward themselves.

"Wayfarer, Justin, and their representatives have no ill will nor vendetta against anyone who speaks up in any circumstance and have first-hand experience with and empathy for the struggles of going against incredibly powerful individuals in pursuit of the truth."

Justin and Blake are both living their lives in spite of the growing legal fray ... with Justin cooling off in Hawaii, while Blake hit the Big Apple for the "Saturday Night Live" 50th anniversary special last weekend.

Blake Lively says Justin Baldoni not only sexually harassed her, but he also made two other women feel "uncomfortable" on the set of "It Ends With Us," and both are willing to testify against him at trial, according to a new court filing.

Last night, Blake filed an amended complaint to her original lawsuit against Baldoni, which lays out new allegations that paint Justin in a negative light.

In the 141-page document, Blake says she was "not alone" in complaining about Baldoni and raising concerns about his behavior during their work together on the movie produced by Sony and Wayfarer starting in 2023.

Kevin Spacey is vehemently denying Guy Pearce's allegation he was "targeted" by Spacey on a movie set back in the day ... and Kevin's taking shots at Guy too.

The "House of Cards" star just posted a video response to some recent comments Guy made about him ... telling Guy straight up he's not a victim.

Kevin says Guy's claim that Spacey targeted him when they were filming the 1997 movie "L.A. Confidential" is bogus ... and he's ripping Pearce for coming after him in the media.

Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds were the hot topic of conversation among guests at 'Saturday Night Live's 50th-anniversary show and after-party — and it all had to do with the couple's ongoing legal battle with Justin Baldoni ... TMZ has learned.

Three sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ ... lots of stars who attended the 'SNL' events on Sunday night were "confused" as to why Blake and Ryan appeared at the show while they battle it out in court with Baldoni over drama surrounding the movie, "It Ends With Us."

As you know, the two sides have accused each other of waging smear campaigns, and Blake has also claimed Justin sexually harassed her while on the movie set.

Drake's not letting up on NBA star DeMar DeRozan ... a fan proved the beef is still going strong after seeing his jersey get tossed!!!

The Boy was performing during his first Sydney show of his "Anita Max Wynn" Australia tour Sunday when a DeRozan jersey was flung in his direction as he performed "Rich Flex."

After straightening out the wrinkles and realizing it was a DD jersey, Drake switched sports and spiked the shirt like a football straight off the stage!!!

Marlon Wayans created his "creth-head" jab at Soulja Boy to TMZ in real-time and the funnyman is taking a step further ... using the powers of artificial intelligence to rip the "Crank Dat" rapper a new one with a honky talk diss track!!!

The beef has been festering for days and Marlon continued his viral onslaught on Soulja Boy's career by hopping into his arena ... labeling him a two-bit wonder with his A.I.-generated country tune.

Flavor Flav also catches a stray on the song to describe SB's appearance ... "Soulja Boy's on crinack and meth / I can smell it on his breath ... He'll suck on caulk just for that rock / He look like Flavor Flav without the clock / He's the c*** that jumped over the moon."

Ryan Reynolds made a laughing matter out of his and Blake Lively's nasty legal battle with Justin Baldoni at 'SNL 50' Sunday night ... appearing briefly in a bit as Tina Fey and Amy Poehler surveyed the crowd for celebrity guests.

Check out the clip ... the "Saturday Night Live" icons ask him ... "How’s it going?" to which he quips ... "Great! Why, what have you heard?"

Fans can see Blake was all smiles as her hubby got some camera time ... though she looked like she saw a ghost when he asked his rhetorical question.

The Hip Hop world is currently hovering around Drake's subliminal shots toward Kendrick Lamar and others from his new R&B album, "$ome $exy $ongs 4 U" but let DJ Akademiks spoke to Drake and concludes the project his Drizzy putting the beef in the rearview mirror!!!

Big Ak joined TMZ Live on Friday to give his breakdown of Drake's new joint project with PartyNextDoor and tells us he chatting with Drake ahead of the album's release ... The Boy never planned to make the LP a Kendrick response record.

There are a few digs, Drake mocked the thought of strippers dancing to dictionaries to decipher Kendrick's lyrics on the song "Gimme a Hug" and referenced the diss of the moment on the track "Celibacy" ... "F***, I guess it's up and it's stuck/We'rе not like them, baby, and they're not like us, either one."
