celebrity kids

Saucy Santana is in the throes of a would-be cancelation via Twitter -- one he's fiercely pushing back on ... and it all has to do with old tweets about Beyonce and her kid.

The Florida rapper started responding to folks who were apparently dogging him and demanding he say sorry for messages he posted/reposted about Bey and Blue Ivy from 2014 and 2017 ... ones in which he appears to insult them over their looks.

One tweet that SS responded to reads, "I just wanna be Blue Ivy," to which he wrote ... "nappy headed or ... " Another reads, "Im sorry but North West CLEARS Blue ivy. Have several Carseats Blue" -- and to that, Santana replied, "Just said this yesterday."

Both of these tweets are from the fall of 2014 ... when Blue was about 2 1/2 years old. A few years later, he agreed that Bey looked "dry" during her pregnancy photo shoot.

So, why is all this resurfacing now??? A few things -- one, Beyonce just scrubbed her profile pics across all social media ... sending the internet into a frenzy about a potential new project. Also ... Santana's performing in Houston Saturday, plus his newest song samples her.

He's taking the stage around 6:15 PM CT for Summer Jam HTX 2022 ... and in the wake of this possible Beyonce news, some have (again) called for him to make amends while in her home city. What that amounts to exactly is unclear -- but in any case, SS says screw that.

Santana swiped back at all the criticism, writing ... "Fake woke ass bitches!!!! People don't care about old tweets. The internet have this weird thing with power! Thinking they have the power to cancel someone… NEWS FLASH! You don't! Y'all be thinking y'all have someone by the balls about situations you don't give a damn about."

He went on to say his tweets are years-old, made when he was 20 ... and he even acknowledges they were childish and hateful. But, he's doubling down and refusing to bend to random Twitter warriors' will and apologize. He asks ... "To who?! To y'all?"

Santana insists that despite what Twitter (collectively) might believe, it's not nearly as powerful as those who use it think ... and he's basically telling everyone to kick rocks.

Before this little cub was showcasing her beautiful looks on the global runways and slaying New York Fashion Week, she was just a cutie with blunt bangs posing for the camera in Los Angeles, California.

This blondie with her bright, shining smile famously signed with IMG Models back in 2017. Her younger sister also followed in her footsteps and joined the modeling world.

Still not positive on who this feisty gal is? You've probably seen her and her little sister giving their mom a run for her money on "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills."

Halsey is firing back at their former nanny who is suing the singer over being fired ... the singer says the nanny was simply fired for a potential danger to Halsey’s kid.

Here's the deal ... Halsey's former nanny, Ashley Funches, is reportedly suing the singer for disability discrimination and retaliation, claiming she was fired for taking time off work for an emergency medical procedure.

But Halsey doesn't see things the same way.

A rep for Halsey tells TMZ ... "These allegations are baseless. This individual’s employment was recently terminated in response to specific incidents in which Halsey’s infant was left unsupervised in an unsafe location while under the nanny’s care, and it was discovered the nanny was intoxicated while the child was in her care."

They continue, "Furthermore, at no time during this individual’s term of employment with Halsey were any complaints even raised. Consequently, while Halsey is both saddened and disappointed by this turn of events, they feel it is important to refute these allegations publicly, as they take ableism and ethical working conditions very seriously."

Britney Spears will have a limited number of friends and family in attendance at her wedding, a group that will not include her sons, who still wish their mom the best, TMZ has learned.

TMZ broke the story, Britney and Sam will tie the knot Thursday in Los Angeles. Spears' brother, Bryan, is expected to be in attendance ... but her mom, dad, sister Jamie Lynn and Brit's two boys will not be there.

Kevin Federline's powerhouse attorney, Mark Vincent Kaplan, tells us 16-year-old Sean Preston and 15-year-old Jayden James will not be going. He adds, "Although the boys will not be in attendance, Kevin and the boys are happy for Britney and wish her and Sam all the best going forward."

Our sources say about 100 people are expected to be there to watch Sam and Britney say their "I dos" at a tented ceremony.

Britney posted a video of herself with Sam Wednesday with a glass of champagne and freshly decorated nails ... presumably ready for the big day.

Dwyane Wade says he's scared to death for his transgender daughter's safety ... saying as more states implement anti-trans sports laws, his fear grows even stronger.

The Miami Heat legend spoke about his concerns at the TIME 100 Summit in NYC this week ... when he was asked -- as the father of 15-year-old Zaya -- about the current struggles for trans youth in this country.

"As blessed as it is for my daughter to have parents who can support her, I’m still afraid every moment she leaves our house," Wade said.

"And not just because of gun violence, but because of the way people perceive her in this world."

Wade gave a passionate response about his fears ... while also blasting the idea of trans sports bans -- calling out lawmakers for making rules on things he says they know nothing about.

"To me, it’s a joke," Wade said, "This is our life. We live this."

"When you’re out there making rules and if you’re not experiencing this and you're not living this and you're just out there signing away and making laws, that's not right. That's a joke."

FYI -- Louisiana just became the most recent state to pass a bill preventing trans women from competing in women's sports ... joining states like Florida, Mississippi, Alabama, Texas and more.

Wade added, "Come and live a day with my daughter. Come and see how it is to walk through this world as her."

Wade says he is frustrated that we're "losing the humane side of us" ... claiming in reality, he believes people should take the opportunity to educate -- instead of being dismissive.

"We're not gonna close the book on anyone being gay, bisexual transgender -- we can't close the book on that!"

Nick Cannon says he'll be a dad once again -- and we've learned the mounting speculation he's having a kid with Abby De La Rosa is true ... they're welcoming another baby together.

Sources familiar with the situation tell TMZ Abby's due on October 25, the two welcomed twins together about a year ago ... Abby teased the idea of having twins again, but it's not confirmed.

Up until now, Abby hadn't revealed who the father of her upcoming baby was, but fans quickly started to speculate it was Nick.

Abby gave birth to twin boys, Zillion and Zion, in June 2021 -- the same month he welcomed his son, Zen, with model Alyssa Scott.

Zen died from a brain tumor last year, when he was just 5-months-old. Zen was Nick's 7th child.

As we've reported, Nick Cannon had a gender reveal with Johnny Manziel's ex, Bre Tiesi, back in January ... where they announced they were expecting a baby boy -- Cannon's 8th. And, she recently posted her babymoon in the Bahamas with the 'Masked Singer' host last month.

Before this adorable gal launched her music career on Myspace back in 2005, she was just your average 1-year-old blowing out her birthday candles in London, England.

This cute kid has been 'mean muggin' since 1985 ... and according to her Instagram page, she loves a candid mirror selfie! Growing up with two parents already in the entertainment industry, it comes as no surprise that she rose to stardom after the release of her first song "Smile" back in 2006.

You probably heard her on singer Pink's "True Love" track and on rapper T-Pain's "5 O'Clock" song.

Turns out Pete Davidson and Saint West's day of bonding -- without Kim Kardashian -- goes much deeper than a fancy mall excursion because they also explored the wonderful world of Walmart together!

Pete and Saint headed to a Walmart in Woodland Hills Saturday for some more shopping ... no word on their full haul, but at the very least we know a big tub of cheese puffs was on the menu for the family.

We're told Pete got the true stepdad experience when 6-year-old Saint wanted to wander around the store, as kids do, instead of staying by Pete's side.

He finally had to remind him mama bear Kim would be pretty pissed if he lost her child in a Walmart.

Of course, this was just the first stop on what now seems like a busy day for Saint and his mom's bf. As we reported, Pete also went to The Grove in L.A. where he was seen holding Saint's hand while strolling around the outdoor mall.

Queen Elizabeth met her great-granddaughter for the first time over the weekend, but don't expect to see QE on any pages of Lilibet's baby book ... because she reportedly banned photos from being taken of the introduction.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's daughter, Lilibet, celebrated her first birthday -- which so happened to fall on the same weekend as the Queen's Platinum Jubilee -- but The Sun reports the Queen denied Harry and Meghan a photographer to capture the moment.

The report states Harry and Meghan were informed the intro would only be a private family meeting -- and there was a worry if photos were taken, they'd be passed around in America.

There was certainly a lot of tension between Harry and his family through the weekend as evidenced early on -- the photo above shows Prince William and Harry on opposite sides of the church during the National Service of Thanksgiving.

Harry and Meghan didn't stick around for the celebration's closing, either ... the Sussexes and their 2 children flew private from London to Cali. Of course, if they stayed, it's unlikely they'd have been allowed to stand beside the Queen when she appeared Sunday on her Buckingham Palace balcony.

Steve Harvey didn't wait too long to start crackin' jokes about his daughter's breakup with Michael B. Jordan ... and admits he might've learned a new way to avoid another costly divorce.

Steve talked about his daughter Lori Harvey parting ways with MBJ on his morning show Monday ... and can't help himself from getting in a laughing mood while doing so.

He says his kids are teaching him to "get out early" from relationships ... and even thinks a breakup on social media is the way to go -- citing court costs as a dealbreaker. Don't forget, the guy's been divorced 2 times, and had quite the fight in court back in 2018.

Steve's ex-wife Mary sued him for $60M over mental anguish, saying she was suicidal in the wake of their 2005 divorce. The judge just threw out her case, because it belonged in front of a judge in Texas ... where the divorce was handled.

As we reported, Michael and Lori reportedly split after being together for over a year ... the reason is still unknown, but the two hadn't posted about each other online in months.

Before this kneeling athlete became a popular television personality, an entrepreneur and a father of three, he was an outside linebacker for The University of California.

Because of his strong physique and stature, this teenager became a bodyguard for bands Soundgarden, Slayer, and singer-songwriter Glenn Danzig. He is definitely most known for his welding abilities in addition to his mechanic skills when it comes to cars, which led him to hosting Discovery Channel's "Monster Garage."

Need one more nudge towards who this baller is? You may have seen him on the hit show "West Coast Choppers."

Pete Davidson is in full-blown stepdad mode -- at the ripe young age of 28 -- 'cause the guy already feels comfortable enough to grab a hold of Kim and Kanye's son's hand.

The 'SNL' alum was at The Grove shopping plaza in L.A. Saturday with 6-year-old Saint West, who was holding on tight to Papa Pete while they perused the shops and right before they went into the Cheesecake Factory ... with what appears to be a lone bodyguard standing by.

Eyewitnesses tell us that hat Saint's wearing is actually one PD bought for him ... which the kid seemed to appreciate, seeing how he let Pete guide him through the paved Grove paths.

We're told there was no sight of Kim here, or the other children. And no -- Ye wasn't around either ... as you could imagine. He'd probably flip his lid if he saw this with his own two 👀.

Unfortunately for him, he might just have to get used to it ... because it's becoming clearer the longer this relationship lasts that Pete has certainly met the children already, and will continue to be around. Not just that, but he's pretty cozy with them ... and they with him.

We already saw North sitting in Pete's lap a few months ago while he was driving her around in a golf cart ... which is the sort of thing that, y'know, actual fathers do usually.

Of course, there's also the issue of the apparent neck tattoo he got that bears all the children's first name initials (plus Kim's) ... which caused a lot of controversy in and of itself.

It would appear Kim's all good with it though ... and again, it just speaks to how serious they are as a couple. It's been less than a year that they've been together -- and yet, they're almost looking like a blended family these days. Especially with moments like these.

Something tells us that if Pete and Kim are still together through the holidays, this year's Kardashian Christmas card is going to potentially look very different via a new addition.

Hall of Fame hooper and amazing TV personality first ... successful NBA head coach next?!?

Shareef O'Neal says it wouldn't shock him if his dad did just that ... telling TMZ Sports that Shaq has the skill set that it takes to one day run a team in the Association.

"I mean, he's coached a few of my teams," Shareef said of his pops. "My last AAU tournament, he coached into a championship."

In fact, Shareef said his dad helped several of his youth teams win multiple titles.

Shareef, though, said he wasn't exactly certain the success there would translate to the NBA -- but he definitely wasn't ruling it out.

Boosie is a happy man this weekend -- he looks like someone who just found out they weren't the father on "Maury" ... except, he's celebrating vicariously through his own seed.

The rapper posted a wild video showing himself screaming in pure joy from within his car ... touting the idea that his 18-year-old, Tootie Raww, was supposedly cleared by a DNA test as NOT being the father to a baby that his GF/would-be baby mama allegedly claimed was his.

Check it out ... his victory lap is hilariously on-brand for Boosie. He's shouting from the top of his lungs and praising Jesus that the baby isn't his ... son's.

Boosie claims Tootie's SO brought somebody else's kid down to his high school graduation recently and sprung it on him like he was the father -- and Boosie thinks it was all BS ... even going on to call it a "conspiracy." Unclear if he's joking or not ... seems to be though.

Tootie appears to have taken ownership ... he was posing for photos with the child. But, his dad was skeptical from the beginning -- saying he didn't think this was Tootie's baby.

Boosie has also posted a ton of alleged receipts that he believes clear this up even further, throwing up photos of the supposed "real" mom and dad ... saying it's further evidence.

Queen Elizabeth's Platinum Jubilee celebrations seem to be a real family affair, with a bonus ... Her Majesty was finally introduced to her great-granddaughter, Lilibet.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle presented the Queen her namesake during a private lunch. Other royals were present. We don't know if Harry's brother, William was at the lunch, nor do we know if his dad, Charles, was present.

There are reports William and Kate will NOT be present Saturday for Lilibet's first birthday party. As you know, there's bad blood between Harry, his dad and his brother for various reasons, not the least of which Harry and Meghan have insinuated one of them made racist comments about Archie.

There are clear, visual signs of a rift between William and Harry. Check out this photo at the National Service of Thanksgiving, taken Friday. They are sitting on complete opposite sides of the church.

Meghan and Harry took a backseat during the traditional balcony wave ... the Palace made it clear ... balcony presence was for "working senior royals."

Harry, Meghan and the kids are getting the security they demanded ... they're being protected by armed police.

Queen Elizabeth's Platinum Jubilee -- honoring her 70 years on the throne -- is officially underway with the royal family, and that includes Prince Harry and Meghan Markle ... although they're not exactly in the Queen's spotlight.

The 4-day celebration kicked off with a military parade in front of Buckingham Palace. The display is called "Trooping the Colour" -- it formally honors the Queen's birthday -- and QE2 was out on her balcony taking in all the action.

All the buzz about the Jubilee is who's making the traditional balcony appearance with her: Prince Charles and Camilla, Prince William and Kate Middleton and their 3 children.

Y'know ... all the "working" Senior Royals.

Most notably, Harry and Meghan are NOT there on the balcony -- and nor is Prince Andrew, who recently settled his Jeffrey Epstein-related case.

However, Harry and Meghan are in the Palace for their first public royal event as a couple since 2020 ... they're just positioned in a different room to watch the parade.

They're watching from the Major General Office ... along with several of the Queen's other grand and great-grandchildren -- such as Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie.
