Celebrity Feuds

The artist formerly known as Kanye West is accusing virtually all his former collaborators of betrayal ... including Kendrick Lamar, Tyler, The Creator, Ty Dolla $ign ... in his words, nobody gets a pass!!!

Ye's latest rap rant appears to have been triggered by Playboi Carti pinging Kim Kardashian to get North West on a feature ... hours after Kim shut down Ye's attempts of getting North on a song with Diddy!!!

Carti released his big streaming album "Music" last week, with Ye only appearing on one of the 30 tracks -- as a producer -- and Ye seeing Carti attempt to backdoor the North West track was the final straw.

11:58 AM PT -- Drake's lead attorney Mike Gottlieb tells TMZ ... “UMG wants to pretend that this is about a rap battle in order to distract its shareholders, artists and the public from a simple truth: a greedy company is finally being held responsible for profiting from dangerous misinformation that has already resulted in multiple acts of violence. This motion is a desperate ploy by UMG to avoid accountability, but we have every confidence that this case will proceed and continue to uncover UMG’s long history of endangering, abusing and taking advantage of its artists.”

Drake's trying to have his cake and eat it too ... according to his music label UMG, which says his whole lawsuit over "Not Like Us" is really just sour grapes because Kendrick Lamar buried him in their rap beef.

Universal Music Group filed docs Monday in federal court, calling out Drake for his part in the diss track battle that surrounded the release of "Not Like Us." According to the label, "Drake encouraged the feud. For example, when he felt that Lamar was taking too long to respond, Drake released a second recording in which he goaded Lamar to continue the public rap battle."

Remember, Drake is suing his label for releasing the track, claiming it did so knowing its "certified pedophile" line was false and defamatory.

Kanye West has just released a new song apparently featuring Diddy, Diddy's son, Christian "King" Combs and Ye's daughter North ... this after Kim Kardashian tried to get a judge to stop him.

The rapper just dropped the track on his X account minutes ago ... saying the song's titled "LONELY ROADS STILL GO TO SUNSHINE" -- before saying the producer who is currently in prison is featured on it.

'LONELY ROADS' kicks off with a voice that certainly sounds like Diddy's ... telling Ye he appreciates him taking care of his kids and reaching out -- 'cause no one else has in recent months.

Chris Eubank Jr. and Connor Benn's fight is still a few weeks away ... but, their feud is far from over -- 'cause the two boxers couldn't even get through an interview without nearly beating each other up.

The two boxers stopped by "Piers Morgan Uncensored" to talk about their upcoming fight ... and to discuss the viral moment a few weeks ago when Eubank slapped Benn with an egg.

ICYMI ... the two men faced-off at a promotional event in Manchester at the end of last month -- when Chris whipped out an egg and smashed it against the side of Connor's face.

Is Justin Bieber using the recent Blood Moon as a cosmic moment of reflection on his feud with Taylor Swift -- or is he reminding her that, no matter what, he’ll always be lurking in the shadows, trolling her?

Here's the deal ... JB posted a shot of Thursday night's eerie eclipse set to Taylor’s ultimate revenge anthem, "Bad Blood" -- and sure, it could just be a fitting choice because of the whole "blood" thing ... but fans are convinced there's more to the IG Story than meets the eye.

Aside from Taylor being ride-or-die for her bestie (and Justin’s ex) Selena Gomez, we all know these two have been locked in a long-running feud.

Kendrick Lamar's big Drake diss on Playboi Carti's "Music" album didn't materialize like DJ Akademiks predicted ... but A$AP Relli can pick a bone with the "Not Like Us" rapper.

If losing his assault trial wasn't bad enough, Relli's now being crucified by Kendrick on the track "Good Credit" for taking the stand and testifying against A$AP Rocky!!!

Kendrick slickly raps ... "Belly on chain go big, white gold link fall on the belly / The emerald cuff for hers and his, that bitch on point like A$AP Relli" -- a clear reference to the moment former A$AP Mob member claimed Rocky shot him.

Playboi Carti's long-delayed "I Am Music" album is set to drop on Friday and DJ Akademiks is hinting that Kendrick Lamar used his feature to go after Drake!!!

Ak was locked into his chat last night after Carti called him and played him his "I Am Music" album in its entirety!!!

He couldn't contain his excitement, and he let out a few spoilers ... Lil Uzi Vert, Justin Bieber, XXXTentacion and a double dose of Kendrick Lamar are all featured on Carti's album!!!

Dwyane Wade doesn't have a single issue with the way LeBron James publicly beefed with Stephen A. Smith last week ... in fact, he tells TMZ Sports he would have done the exact same thing if he were in the Lakers superstar's shoes.

Bron, of course, ignited the feud with the ESPN commentator while the two were at Crypto.com Arena for L.A.'s March 6 tilt with the Knicks ... after he had gotten upset over the way Stephen A. had previously spoken about Bronny James.

Video from the scene showed LeBron got inches from Smith's nose -- and yelled at him in an apparent effort to get him to stop being critical of his relationship with his oldest son.

Suge Knight is scoffing at Snoop Dogg's claims the incarcerated mogul is "jealous" he no longer owns Death Row Records.

According to Suge's POV, Snoop's making a mockery of Hip Hop music by putting out trash albums that tarnish the label's legacy!!!

Suge's latest rant from prison came recently on "The Art Of Dialogue" ... Snoop's been annoyed his former boss won't stop yapping about him, but Suge says he's crusading for the culture.

Blake Lively and Anna Kendrick aren't feuding like everyone says, and they definitely didn't have any issues on the South by Southwest red carpet -- this, according to the director of their new movie.

Here's the deal ... rumors about tension between Lively and Kendrick have exploded after their shared appearance at the well-known film festival.

One social media user shared a group photo featuring both of them ... claiming she reported that Anna was pissed at Blake and didn't want to work with her ever again -- which is when director Paul Feig stepped in.

Anna Kendrick doesn't seem too enthusiastic about her costar Blake Lively ... 'cause while Blake said working with Anna was "the best," Anna's response came off much more lukewarm.

The two stars pulled up to the popular film and music festival South by Southwest Friday to promote their new movie "Another Simple Favor" -- the sequel to the hit 2018 flick "A Simple Favor."

Fans and reporters lined the street to get selfies and autographs ... and, while Blake had nothing but compliments for her costar, Anna didn't have the same for Blake.

Tasha K was able to get out of bankruptcy with a payment plan ... but she still has to pay up on the $3.9M judgment she lost in her case against Cardi B ... this according to new legal docs obtained by TMZ Hip Hop.

On Wednesday, a bankruptcy judge signed off on Tasha K's plan ... Tasha K will make payments to Cardi from her income she brings in from her projects over time to satisfy the judgment Cardi got in her lawsuit against the blogger.

The "Bodak Yellow" rapper's inner circle also got some protection in the form of a non-disparagement clause, which bars Tasha from making any derogatory or defamatory comments about Cardi and her family.

Bhad Bhabie's mom Barbara Bregoli is ripping Alabama Barker and her family -- even threatening Travis Barker and his 1-year-old son -- after AB named BB's daughter Kali on her Insta Story.

Check out the clip ... AB, in what seems to be a new diss track, raps about Kali being born only because Bhad Bhabie's off-and-on boyfriend Le Vaughn was getting with her "for bag." Yikes.

The insult set Barbara off ... and she erupted on her Instagram Story Tuesday, referring to Alabama as "dirty ass hoe Arkansas" while saying her dad, Travis, moved on from her with a new family.

Floyd Mayweather went on national television and dogged Jake Paul ... but El Gallo wasn't about to take it sitting down -- going to social media to fire back at T.B.E. and claiming he'd whoop the 50-0 boxer's ass in the ring.

Floyd weighed in on Paul's 2024 fight with Mike Tyson on the "Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon" on Wednesday ... scoffing at the fact it was available at no additional charge to Netflix subscribers.

"When you're watching Floyd Mayweather, you have to pay," Money said on the show. "I get Pay-Per-View numbers. Check the record."

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."
