Celebrity Feuds

Drake floored the masses when he brought Tupac Shakur and Snoop Dogg into his beef against Kendrick Lamar via AI ... and Pac's brother thinks it was a step too far in the ongoing beef.

Mopreme Shakur, Tupac's brother tells TMZ Hip Hop that his issue with Drake using an AI Tupac voice is that he weaponized it ... all for a rap battle.

Mopreme tells us Drake using Pac's voice is like bringing out a tank, or even going with a nuclear option -- and he thinks the battle should be 1-on-1 ... with no outside help.

Quavo is taking his beef with Chris Brown to a whole new level -- responding to CB's "Weakest Link" with a diss track of his own that includes the voice of late Migos member, Takeoff.

The new track is called "Over Hoes & Bitches," and it dropped late Monday, with Quavo's opening verse coming in hot -- "Little bitch come dance battle with my drac' / You been f***ed your bag up when you punched Ri' in the face."

Of course, Quavo's referring to Chris assaulting Rihanna back in 2009. So far in their rap beef, he's repeatedly hit Chris with his history of domestic violence.

Kim Kardashian's social media profile is taking a hit in the wake of Taylor Swift dropping a new diss track about the reality TV star.

ICYMI ... Taylor's new song, "thanK you aIMee," is a thinly veiled revenge anthem against Kim -- hence the capitalized letters in the title. In the song, Taylor blasts a bully from her past ... slamming the woman as a "bronze spray-tanned statue."

And, only a few days after the track's release, Kim's lost more than 100,000 fans on social media ... with countless Swifties spamming her Instagram and X pages with vitriol.

El perfil de Kim Kardashian en redes sociales está recibiendo un golpe a raíz de que Taylor Swift lanzó una nueva pista atacando a la estrella de la telerrealidad.

La nueva canción de Taylor, "thanK you aIMee", es un himno de venganza contra Kim... de ahí las letras mayúsculas del título. En la canción, Taylor arremete contra una matona de su pasado, criticando a la mujer como una "estatua de bronce bronceada con spray".

Solo unos días después del lanzamiento de la canción Kim ha perdido más de 100.000 fans en redes sociales, con un sinnúmero de Swifties haciendo spam en su Instagram y su perfil de X.

Arnold Schwarzenegger epically punked Sylvester Stallone into signing on for the most disastrous film of Sly's career, and that's exactly what Arnold wanted to happen!

Arnold and Sly sat down with Harvey for a candid, sometimes stunning convo about the intense rivalry between the 2 mega-action stars.

Sly was stunned as Arnold explained how he got his now-good friend to star in "Stop! Or My Mom Will Shoot." Arnold knew the script was terrible, but he had heard Sly was kinda interested in it. So Arnold figured if Sly felt he wanted the role, Sly would jump at it.

Arnold Schwarzenegger engañó épicamente a Sylvester Stallone para que firmara para la película más desastrosa de la carrera de Sly, ¡y eso es exactamente lo que Arnold quería!

Arnold y Sly se sentaron con Harvey para una conversación sincera y a veces sorprendente sobre la intensa rivalidad entre las 2 mega estrellas de acción.

Sly se quedó atónito cuando Arnold le explicó cómo consiguió que su ahora buen amigo protagonizara "¡Stop! Or My Mom Will Shoot". Arnold sabía que el guion era terrible, pero había oído que Sly estaba interesado en él. Así que Arnold pensó que si Sly percibía que él también quería el papel, Sly lo aceptaría.

Kanye West entró directamente en la disputa del rap con un remix del diss track de Future y Kendrick Lamar "Like That" y, en el que apunta a Drake y J. Cole.

El polémico rapero compartió un vistazo de la nueva pista, titulada "Like That (Remix)", en un episodio de "The Download" presentado por su amigo Justin Laboy.

El comienzo de la pista cuenta con una línea exacta de la recién estrenada canción "Like that", de Future, K.dot y Metro Boomin, que muchos tomaron como una respuesta al exitoso tema "First Person Shooter", de Drake y J. Cole, que encendió una pública disputa con varias idas y vueltas.

Kanye West's jumped straight into rap beef ... dropping a remix of Future and Kendrick Lamar's diss track "Like That" -- and, taking aim at Drake and J. Cole.

The controversial rapper shared a look at the new track -- titled "Like That (Remix)" -- on an episode of "The Download" hosted by his pal Justin Laboy ... playing the opening live on the show.

The opening features a line directly from the recently-released Future, K.dot, Metro Boomin track, "Like That" ... which many took as a response to Drake and J. Cole's hit song "First Person Shooter," igniting a pretty viral rap back-and-forth.

Chris Brown's not fooling around in his beef with Quavo ... dropping a new diss track -- and invoking the name of Quavo's late nephew, and Migos star, Takeoff.

The singer-songwriter -- whose well-documented beef with Quavo's reignited in recent days -- put out his new track "Weakest Link" on YouTube and Instagram ... and, he's clearly going for Quavo's throat throughout the track.

And, one of his biggest disses ... "R.I.P. Takeoff, he the only real one, I got true respect / Crazy how when he died, everybody really wished it was you instead" -- so yeah, Brown's taking the kid gloves off.

Joaquin Phoenix has an ally on the Hollywood battlefield -- the historical advisor from his film, "Napoleon" is leaping to his defense following some biting criticism from Brian Cox.

Lorris Chevalier tells TMZ ... Joaquin did the best with what he was given on-set -- even though he himself wanted to take "Napoleon" in a different, unique, direction ... but he faced stiff opposition.

Despite his ideas being shut down, Lorris says Joaquin really threw himself into the role ... hitting up spots like Napoleon's private castle, the Malmaison and several other Napoleonic sites around Paris for some hands-on character research.

Chingy is ready for his second wind of music success, but he's wary of the industry -- telling us he's been burned by bad rumors and beef, and doesn't want to see future artists suffer the same fate!!!

TMZ Hip Hop caught up with the "Right Thurr" rapper ahead of the debut of his "Unsung" episode on TV One. He's on his "Nu Beginnings" wave courtesy of his brand-new single released today, but still has a sour taste in his mouth over the Sidney Starr situation he says killed his career climb.

Chingy recalls being blackballed when Sidney, a transgender model, lied about sleeping with him back in the day, and tells us her eventual apology barely did any real damage control.

Drake will be licking his wounds and bowing to King Kendrick Lamar ... a shameful sight Touré says will become Drake's reality after their rap battle is all said and done.

The tenured music and cultural critic hopped on "TMZ Live" on Thursday and pinpointed what he feels are dings in Drake's armor ... mainly his comeback response, which Touré isn't all that impressed with.

Drake has been owning up to his "Push Ups (Drop & Give Me Fifty)" track ... using the lyrics to tease both Metro Boomin and Kendrick's manager on social media ... but Touré feels sneaky tactics pale in comparison to the points K. Dot has already put on the board.

Drake has turned his scope away from Metro Boomin and Rick Ross, and returned it to the main event ... Kendrick Lamar!!!

In his latest IG post, Drake somehow dug up a photo of Kendrick's manager Anthony Saleh poppin' tags shopping at one of the rap megastar's OVO stores.

It's unclear when Saleh was loading up on the golden owl gear, but Drake pushed the issue on Kendrick's response with his caption -- "Are we getting in our bag or nah??"

YG is 100% for rap beef -- whether he's in the mix or on the sidelines -- but doesn't fault J. Cole for not feeling the same way when he was up against Kendrick Lamar.

TMZ Hip Hop recently linked with YG in L.A. and the 4HUNNID hitmaker is ready to exercise his first boss moves of 2024 ... he just shot the vid for his upcoming single, "Knockas."

YG's back in the saddle with his day one collaborator Mustard, and L.A. radio is about to experience a revival of sorts -- they're releasing the upcoming compilation, "Just Re'd Up 3" soon and point him to the action!!!

Hip Hop has been offering tons of just that as of late, and we had to get his thoughts on Kendrick Lamar vs. Everybody, including his homie J. Cole.

YG has records with both Kendrick and Cole but didn't come down on the Dreamville rapper for apologizing like other culture critics.

He's thinking like a boss more than ever. YG and his label recently inked a multi-album partnership deal with BMG, after officially departing Def Jam Records -- so, more than ever, his career is his to control.

Katie Couric says Bryant Gumbel gave her a hard time back in the day over maternity ... which Katie thinks spoke to something deeper, even if he was joking.

The famed newswoman stopped by Bill Maher's 'Club Random' podcast Sunday ... in which she detailed the "prickly" relationship she had with Bryant during their tenure on 'Today' together.

Katie hinted she and Bryant were never close, referring to her coworker as a guy's guy -- but still applauded his broadcasting skills.

Courtney Love ain't showin' much love for Taylor Swift -- in fact, she's got some harsh words for her ... not to mention for Beyoncé and a lot of other ladies in the modern pop space.

The alternative rocker made her controversial remarks in a recent interview with The Standard, first zeroing in on Taylor by calling her "not important." Love accused Taylor of being a "safe space for girls" and the Madonna of this generation.

She then ends her thoughts by saying T-Swift is "not interesting as an artist."
