IF IT AIN'T BROKE...

King Combs says he has every intention to carve out a hip hop legacy with his own original music, but when it comes to sampling, he admits ... sometimes it's hard to say no to a hit!!!

We got the Bad Boy Jr. at LAX on Wednesday and asked just how much access he has to his father's iconic tunes for use as samples when he's in the studio.

There's currently a raging debate in the rap world over whether today's samples of popular hits (some that already contain samples themselves) are innovative, or just downright lazy.

KC notes the success he's had with blasts from the past -- his Kodak Black collab "Can't Stop, Won't Stop" borrowed from Lil Kim's "Crush on You" and topped the Billboard rap charts ... while "How You Want It?" with Teyana Taylor used Mase and Total's "What You Want" melody and went Gold.

He recently made it a NYC summer with A Boogie, Fabolous and Jeremih by riding yet another Total wave on the track "Flyest In the City" and tells us he might have to hit the studio for a few more tracks that lean into past songs.

Folks can debate all they want, but for King, the proof is in the public reception.

His dad has gone unchallenged for decades with claims he "invented" the remix, so you could say it's just in KC's blood!!!

KING COMBS Amo la Originalidad ¡PERO BAD BOY SAMPLES ME LLAMA!

si no está roto...

King Combs dice que es muy consciente de que tendrá que labrarse su propio legado en el hip hop con su propia música original, pero cuando se trata de "samples" a veces es difícil decir que no a un éxito.

Nos encontramos con Bad Boy Jr. en LAX (Aeropuerto de los Ángeles) el miércoles y le preguntamos cuánto acceso tiene a las canciones icónicas de su padre para samplear su música.

En la actualidad, existe un acalorado debate en el mundo del rap sobre si los sampleos actuales de éxitos populares (algunos ya contienen sampleos en sí mismos) son innovadores o simplemente perezosos.

King destaca el éxito que ha tenido en el pasado con su colaboración con Kodak Black "Can't Stop, Won't Stop" cuando tomó prestada la canción "Crush on You" de Lil Kim y encabezó las listas de rap de Billboard y "How You Want It?" con Teyana Taylor utilizó la melodía de "What You Want" de Mase y Total y se convirtió en disco de oro.

Recientemente hizo una colaboración con A Boogie, Fabolous y Jeremih suviendose a la ola en la pista "Flyest In The City" y nos dice que puede que tenga que ir al estudio para afinar algunos detalles.

Su padre lleva décadas afirmando que él "inventó" la remezcla. ¡KC lo lleva en la sangre!

'Love & Hip Hop's' Vonshae Gunplay Caused Our Daughter's Heart Defect With His Undercover Drug Use!!! 🤧

Published

"Love & Hip Hop" star Vonshae Taylor-Morales is further distancing herself from her ruptured marriage with Gunplay ... blaming him for causing their infant daughter's medical condition as of result of his alleged drug use.

Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.

The baby girl, Osanna Ohana, was born in March with a heart defect and on Wednesday, Vonshae accused her estranged husband of abusing cocaine and ketamine behind her back during a vicious dragging on IG Live.

Before the baby was born, Vonshae says she told Gunplay he needed to be drug-free, but she says he began using, and covering up his "sniffing" by saying he had allergies.

Vonshae says she was dumb to believe the rapper, and their fights got bad when she confronted him. Eventually, Gunplay was arrested in August for allegedly pulling out a gun on Vonshae and their daughter, who was put into harm's way during the altercation.

As we reported at the time, Gunplay was slapped with several charges ... aggravated battery with a deadly weapon, false imprisonment, and child abuse. Vonshae also claims he relapsed in her presence.

Fans are currently calling Vonshae crazy for getting herself entangled with Gunplay to begin with -- to which she is telling them, "you live and you learn!!!"

Brian Austin Green Raising Gay Son Was a 'Challenge' ... But I Have No Problem with My Kid's Sexuality

EMBRACING THE UNKNOWN

Brian Austin Green says raising his gay son felt like he was navigating uncharted waters ... but he's making it clear he's got no issues with anyone's sexuality, and he's calling out anyone who feels otherwise.

The former "Beverly Hills, 90210" star opened up about raising his now 21-year-old son, Kassius, on Lance Bass' podcast, "Frosted Tips"' ... saying the situation was all new to him, but it was a challenge he welcomed with open arms.

Lance couldn't help but compliment the actor, claiming it's gotta be a blessing to have Brian as a dad, especially growing up gay.

Brian said there really aren't a lot of differences between gay and straight kids, and it bugs him when other people say they do have a big problem with gay people.

Brian's adamant that someone's preference when it comes to partners isn't a big deal -- a revelation he's, in part, attributing to his relationship with Kassius ... and he says he's been trying to make others see it the same way as him.

Brian shares Kassius with his ex-girlfriend and fellow '90210' star Vanessa Marcil ... he also shares 3 younger ones with his ex Megan Fox, and just welcomed his 5th kid in 2022 with his fiancée, Sharna Burgess.

Blac Chyna Selling Shoes, Clothes & Purses Just to Get By!!!

Published | Updated

Angela White, formerly Blac Chyna, says she's resorted to selling her personal belongings to keep her head above water, asking Tyga to chip in for their looming custody battle.

According to new legal docs, obtained by TMZ, Angela says she's selling off her clothes, purses and shoes through an online consignment store and to friends and family just to make ends meet.

Angela claims she's brought in over $178k this year from selling her personal items, which she says has supplemented her plummeting business sales ... but there's a problem.

Angela says it's really just a stopgap measure ... because she's going to eventually run out of clothes, purses and shoes to sell.

With Angela fighting Tyga in court over legal and physical custody of their son, King, she says the legal bills are piling up on her end ... and she won't be able to keep up the fight for her kid without some money from her rapper ex.

In the docs, Angela also claims Tyga's been interfering with the limited time she does have with her son, which is only 24 hours a week.

Angela says Tyga refuses to directly communicate with her, share his contact information, or give her an address for where King lives. Anglea claims he's also holding back important information on the kid's health, safety and welfare, such as the location of the kid's school and his prescriptions.

However, sources familiar with the situation tell TMZ Angela knows where Tyga lives, and he's been paying for King's private school tuition, medical bills and most everyday living expenses. We're told King has his own line of communication with Angela that she has easily accessible access to.

Angela's seeking court orders to establish a consistent and regular schedule with King that Tyga can't obstruct and wants Tyga to pay $125,000 to cover her legal and accounting fees.

BLAC CHYNA VENDIENDO ZAPATOS, ROPA Y BOLSOS ¡PARA SALIR ADELANTE!

Published | Updated

Angela White, antes Blac Chyna, dice que ha recurrido a la venta de sus pertenencias personales para mantenerse a flote y le pide a Tyga que contribuya en su inminente batalla por la custodia.

Según los nuevos documentos legales obtenidos por TMZ, Angela dice que está vendiendo su ropa, bolsos y zapatos a través de una tienda en línea y también a amigos y familiares solo para llegar a fin de mes.

Angela afirma que ha ganado $178k este año gracias a la venta de sus artículos personales. Ella dice que esto la ha ayudado mucho para aplacar los problemas financieros por los que ha pasado últimamente.

Angela dice que esto es solamente una medida provisional, ya que tarde o temprano va a quedarse sin ropa, bolsos y zapatos para vender.

Con Angela luchando contra Tyga en los tribunales sobre la custodia legal y física de su hijo (King), ella dice que las facturas legales se acumulan y que no será capaz de mantener la lucha por su hijo sin algo de dinero del ex rapero.

En los documentos, Angela también afirma que Tyga ha estado interfiriendo con el tiempo limitado que tiene con su hijo, que es solo 24 horas a la semana.

Angela dice que Tyga se niega a comunicarse directamente con ella, compartir su información de contacto o darle la dirección donde vive King. Anglea afirma que también está reteniendo información importante sobre la salud, la seguridad y el bienestar del niño, además de la ubicación de la escuela y sus recetas médicas.

Sin embargo, fuentes familiarizadas con la situación nos informan que Angela sabe donde vive Tyga, y él ha estado pagando por la matrícula de la escuela privada de King, las facturas médicas y la mayoría de los gastos de su vida cotidiana. Nos dicen que King tiene su propia línea de comunicación con Angela y que ella tiene fácil acceso.

Angela está buscando órdenes judiciales para establecer un horario consistente y regular con King que Tyga no pueda obstruir y quiere que Tyga pague $125.000 para cubrir sus honorarios legales y contables.

Elon Musk Grimes lo demanda para establecer la custodia... No me deja ver a mi hijo

Published | Updated

La mamá del bebé de Elon Musk, Grimes, está yendo a la corte para pedir la custodia de sus hijos, después de suplicarle al CEO de Tesla que le permitiera ver a uno de ellos.

Grimes presentó una "petición para establecer la relación parental" el pasado viernes. Esto viene días después de que tuiteara: "díganle a Elon que me deje ver a mi hijo o sino que responda a mi abogado".

Parece que se refiere a su hijo menor, Tau, que nació el año pasado.

Grimes, que nunca estuvo casada con Musk, claramente está intentando establecer los derechos de custodia, así como la manutención del niño. A menos de que sea considerada como madre no apta, es casi seguro que obtendrá algunos derechos de custodia.

En estas situaciones, los jueces suelen conceder la custodia compartida, aunque eso no significa necesariamente 50 y 50. Un juez podría establecer un calendario de custodia de numerosas formas, incluso asimétricas.

En cuanto a Tau, Elon y Grimes nunca anunciaron el nacimiento de su hijo. Walter Isaacson, que acaba de escribir la biografía, "Elon Musk", reveló que el niño había nacido y se le dio el nombre de Techno Mechanicus. Lo llaman Tau para abreviar.

Elon aún no ha respondido a la petición de Grimes.

Elon Musk Grimes Sues to Establish Parental Right ... He Won't Let Me See Our Son!!!

Published | Updated

Elon Musk's baby mama, Grimes, is going to court over their kids ... this after she pleaded with the Tesla CEO to let her see one of their sons.

Grimes filed a "petition to establish parental relationship" last Friday. This comes days after Grimes tweeted, "... tell Elon to let me see my son or plz respond to my lawyer."

It appears Grimes is referring to their youngest son, Tau, who was born last year.

Grimes, who was never married to Musk, is clearly setting up a situation where a judge would establish custody rights, as well as child support. Unless there is a finding Grimes is an unfit parent, she would almost certainly have some custodial rights.

Judges in this situation typically award joint custody, although that does not necessarily mean 50/50. A judge could carve out a custody schedule in numerous, even lopsided ways.

As for Tau, Elon and Grimes never announced the birth of their son. Walter Isaacson, who just wrote the biography, "Elon Musk," revealed the child had been born and given the name Techno Mechanicus ... they call him Tau for short.

Elon has yet to respond to Grimes' petition.

Jodie Turner-Smith Files for Divorce from Joshua Jackson

Published | Updated

Jodie Turner-Smith is pulling the plug on her marriage to Joshua Jackson ... TMZ has learned she just filed for divorce.

The British actress/model cites the boilerplate "irreconcilable differences" as the reason for the divorce. According to the docs, filed by disso queen Laura Wasser, Jodie is asking for joint custody of their 3-year-old daughter, Juno.

Jodie wants to take spousal support off the table for both her and Joshua.

There's no prenup in place.

The date of separation is September 13.

Jodie and Joshua met during his 2018 birthday bash and their relationship was immediately fast-tracked ... they got engaged just months later.

The 2 went to the Beverly Hills Courthouse to snag a wedding license, before most people knew they were even dating.

They went Instagram official 10 days later with a pic of them gazing into each other's eyes during a dinner date.

There were breakup rumors in September 2022 after they unfollowed each other on Instagram, but they attended the Oscars back in March and looked very much like a couple.

The "Dawson's Creek" star has not responded.

JODIE TURNER-SMITH SOLICITA EL DIVORCIO DE JOSHUA JACKSON

Published

Jodie Turner-Smith está poniéndole fin a su matrimonio con Joshua Jackson. TMZ ha descubierto que ella acaba de solicitar el divorcio.

La actriz y modelo británica cita las ya clásicas: "diferencias irreconciliables" como la razón para el divorcio. Según los documentos, presentados por Laura Wasser, Jodie pide la custodia compartida de su hija de 3 años, Juno.

Jodie quiere eliminar la manutención conyugal tanto para ella como para Joshua.

Hay un acuerdo prenupcial, por lo que, suponiendo que no se cuestiona, la división de los activos no debería ser un problema.

La fecha de separación es el 13 de septiembre.

Jodie y Joshua se conocieron durante la fiesta de cumpleaños de él en 2018 y su relación se aceleró de inmediato, se comprometieron solo unos meses después.

El 2 fue a la Corte de Beverly Hills para enganchar una licencia de matrimonio, antes de que la mayoría de la gente sabía que estaban saliendo.

10 días más tarde se hicieron oficiales en Instagram con una foto en la que se miraban a los ojos durante una cena.

Hubo rumores de ruptura en septiembre de 2022 después de que se dejaran de seguir en Instagram, pero asistieron a los Oscar en marzo y parecían una pareja.

La estrella de "Dawson's Creek" no ha respondido.

Donald Trump In Court For Civil Fraud Trial ... Business Empire At Stake

Published | Updated

Donald Trump's business empire is on the line, with the potential for it all to come crumbling down ... as he appears in court for the first time for his $250 million civil fraud trial.

The former president arrived at Manhattan Supreme Court Monday morning as his trial kicked off ... something Trump's previously labeled as a "witch hunt" with the goal of diminishing his run for the presidency.

Trump was seated next to his attorneys Clifford Robert, Alina Habba, and Christopher Kise ... as attorney Kevin Wallace delivered opening statements on behalf of the Attorney General's office.

Wallace said Trump overvalued his statements from anywhere between $812 million and $2.2 billion ... claiming he knew they were false but used them to his advantage.

Monday's trial comes a year after being sued by NY Attorney General Letitia James -- claiming he misrepresented his net worth by billions of dollars. Trump's top execs and his sons Eric and Donald Jr. are also in the crosshairs for the alleged decade-long scheme.

Judge Arthur Engoron ruled last week that Trump and co. were liable for the fraud claims against them -- canceling the defendant's NY business certificates and ordering an independent receiver to oversee their dissolution.

In other words, James got a substantial win in court before the trial even kicked off.

Trump is facing the possibility of being banned from doing business ever again, and it's reported that the trial could go on for 3 months ... so strap in.

Beyoncé's 'Renaissance' Film Stretching With Blue Ivy, Taking Some Shots

Published | Updated

Beyoncé is full of inspiration, which she displayed in dramatic fashion in the trailer for her upcoming film documenting her "Renaissance" tour.

Bey's film, "Renaissance: A Film by Beyoncé," chronicles lots of behind-the-scenes action, and it shows the singer in some chill, fun, backstage moments.

Throughout the trailer, you see her getting some stretching in backstage with her 11-year-old daughter, Blue Ivy, while the little twins -- Rumi and Sir -- hung out with them.

Looks like Beyoncé was having a blast -- toasting the camera while knocking back a shot. Worth noting the rumors "Renaissance" was a booze-free tour, so it might not have been alcohol in that glass.

There's so much fans have to look forward to when the film comes out December 1st -- it's got everything from a beaming Jay-Z, crowds going nuts, and the Queen herself breaking down what this tour has meant to her.

As we reported, AMC will be taking the reigns for Bey's movie, playing in all of North America next month ... and this follows Taylor Swift's "Eras" tour flick spreading to a worldwide debut after tons of demand.

Taylor's film is also a partnership with AMC, so there's for sure a theme going on at that movie chain ... and obviously, a smart one.

We covered it all on the latest episode of The TMZ Podcast, available on all podcast platforms.

LA PELÍCULA "RENAISSANCE" DE BEYONCÉ TOMANDOSE ALGUNAS FOTOS

Published | Updated

Beyoncé está llena de inspiración y lo demuestra de forma espectacular en el tráiler de su próxima película que documenta su gira "Renaissance".

La película de Bey, "Renaissance: A Film by Beyoncé", muestra lo que ocurre entre bastidores y muestra a la cantante en algunos momentos de relajo y bastante divertidos al parecer.

A lo largo del tráiler se la ve haciendo algunos estiramientos entre bastidores con su hija de 11 años, Blue Ivy, mientras los pequeños gemelos —Rumi y Sir— pasan el rato con ellos.

Parece que Beyoncé se lo estaba pasando en grande, brindando en cámara mientras se tomaba algo. Vale la pena señalar los rumores sobre que "Renaissance" fue una gira sin alcohol, por lo que podría no haber sido el alcohol en ese vaso.

Los fans tienen muchas cosas interesantes que ver cuando la película se estrene el 1 de diciembre: desde un Jay-Z radiante, multitudes enloquecidas y la propia Reina explicando lo que esta gira ha significado para ella. Como ya informamos, AMC tomará las riendas de la película de Bey, que se estrenará en toda Norteamérica el mes que viene y esto sigue a la película de la gira "Eras" de Taylor Swift, que se estrena en todo el mundo tras una gran demanda.

La película de Taylor es también una asociación con AMC, por lo que es seguro que hay más ideas en marcha en esa cadena de cine y, obviamente, unas muy inteligentes.

Lo cubrimos todo en el último episodio de The TMZ Podcast, disponible en todas las plataformas de podcast.

Blueface's Mom Defends Nude Baby Photo Post ... Showing Hernia Isn't Illegal

Published | Updated

Blueface's mother is defending the controversial nude baby photo posted on the rapper's social media -- because she believes there's absolutely nothing illegal about seeking help for an infant's hernia.

INNOCENTLY ASKING FOR HELP

We got Karlissa Saffold on Sunset Blvd in Los Angeles and asked her about the photo, which Blueface claims was uploaded last weekend while his account was hacked.

While Karlissa says she was initially outraged when she saw the graphic post, like most everyone else, which shows her grandkid's unhealthy genitals ... she says her opinion changed when she saw similar posts from other concerned parents seeking input on hernias.

What's more, Karlissa says the graphic photo wasn't done in a pornographic way ... she says it was about helping the child, and thus wasn't illegal.

We also asked about all the drama between her son and the child's mother, Chrisean Rock ... and she said she would step in if there was a need to keep the peace and help the baby. She's seeing the same nasty exchanges we all are, and says they both continue "doing some vicious stuff to one another."

The way Mom sees it, all the drama is what comes with folks who are at the end of a breakup -- and she throws some shade their way, saying there's "3 kids involved" ... Blueface, Chrisean and the infant.

To be clear, Karlissa isn't saying she will take the baby from Chrisean, she says she would never take a child from a mother who is capable of caring for her baby. But, she says she's ready and willing to help in any capacity.

And, this is very interesting ... Karlissa added that she's more concerned about the way Chrisean was carrying the baby in a Walmart than the hernia photo.

REAL FAMILY BLUES

We should also note, Karlissa has an ongoing family reality show ... with Blueface, his siblings and herself called "CixoT," and you gotta wonder if the hernia drama will become content for the program.
