Tekashi 6ix9ine’s Florida crib was ransacked by four gunmen last night ... and new security footage shows just how scary it got for his mom -- who was held against her will -- and even the family dog trapped inside.

TMZ has obtained surveillance video from Sunday night after the intruders slipped in through the garage. In one clip, you can see Tekashi’s 60-year-old mom face to face with the burglars, her voice shaking as she begs and pleads ... while the dog runs around confused.

Vivica Fox clarified her warning against dating rappers, which went viral ... telling TMZ her advice was just from her own personal experience.

When we caught up with the actress outside Sherri Shepherd Studios on Monday in New York, she told us people are allowed to date whoever they want and that her message should be taken more as a warning to the girlies to be careful.

For herself, that means to "maybe not go public so fast and just have fun."

According to the sounds of the argument, Kweli was royally pissed off that security guards had walked onto the stage 1 minute past the 11PM curfew to stop the show, and was upping the bass in his voice towards anyone who tried to calm him down!!!

Kris Jenner isn’t in the business of trash-talking her kids' exes ... she says she’s still got plenty of love for them, especially since they’re the fathers of her grandbabies.

The world’s most famous momager opened up on the "On Purpose with Jay Shetty" podcast ... saying that even though she wasn’t thrilled with some of the things her daughters’ exes did to blow up those relationships, every one of them still knows there’s an open door.

Kris says she operates from a place of communication, compassion, and forgiveness ... which is why her daughters’ baby daddies -- like Travis Scott and Tristan Thompson -- are always popping by.

Danny Masterson is throwing his lawyer under the bus ... the actor is seeking to have his rape convictions tossed aside, claiming he's sitting in prison because his lawyer didn't do his job right.

In new legal docs filed Monday, Masterson's lawyers claim the trial attorney who handled his rape case failed to call key witnesses or contradict the prosecutor's claims about Scientology ... despite Masterson's insistence.

TMZ Hip Hop caught up with Karlissa Saffold Harvey at the Northridge Mall in L.A. last week ... and it appears we broke the news about the 17-year age difference Blue has with Hazel.

Karlissa was under the impression that Hazel-E was about "38-ish" -- a testament to the "Love & Hip Hop" star's good genes -- but judging from her reaction, her little boy Blue will have to exercise ALL his options.

What do LiAngelo Ball and Drake have in common? They both scored platinum singles this year!!

The Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) announced the milestone accomplishment for Gelo's debut track on Monday ... saying "Tweaker" officially hit one million digital units sold.

This is huge news for the 26-year-old athlete-turned-rapper ... as he randomly launched his music career just months ago. Per RIAA, the only other hip-hop and R&B artists to secure platinum singles in 2025 are Drake, Lil Tecca, BigXthaPlug, and Mariah The Scientist.

Taylor's in a black robe, and she's all over the Casey in a white bathrobe -- they're making out in what appears to be a hotel/casino.

Tom Cruise may risk life and limb for his own stunts, but writing his own speeches? Maybe not his most authentic flex -- 'cause his Honorary Oscar remarks sounded suspiciously like Nicole Kidman’s AMC ad playbook!

It was a huge night for Tom at the 2025 Governors Awards on Sunday … where he launched into a whole ode about the magic of the moviegoing experience -- and if you close your eyes, it almost sounds like he’s tag-teaming the same monologue with his ex-wife.

Check out our video mash-up -- because okay sure, it’s not an exact copy-paste job, but Tom goes on about how we come to the movies to laugh and cry together ... which, funny enough, is exactly Nicole’s whole spiel in her iconic preview ad for AMC Theatres.

Well, this is a collab nobody saw coming ... Nicki Minaj is partnering with the Trump Administration to address the United Nations.

The "Anaconda" rapper will reportedly join the U.S. Ambassador to the U.N., Mike Waltz, to deliver remarks Tuesday in New York City, spotlighting violence committed against Christians in Nigeria. Waltz complimented Nicki in a tweet Sunday, calling her a "principled individual who refuses to remain silent in the face of injustice."

"The Real Housewives of Atlanta" star Kim Zolciak is finally speaking at length about daughter Ariana Biermann's break-up with longtime boyfriend Hudson McLeroy ... she says the split is ultimately for the best.

While fielding questions at BravoCon over the weekend, Kim said ... "I've known them forever and ever. I love them. But they need to grow. They've been together on and off for 10 years and they're just going in different directions."

When she says she's known them forever, she means it ... Hudson and Ariana were born in the same hospital, only 8 hours apart. So, as you can imagine, the families are close ... and according to Kim, that hasn't changed.

Justin Baldoni made an offhanded remark as the cast of "It Ends With Us" was getting ready to shoot a scene ... he says, "Sorry, I missed the sexual harassment training" -- but it was a joke about the wardrobe for the scene.
