Comedian Deon Cole had the internet debating after he called out Kai Cenat for gleefully knowing Black celebrities when he was hired to stream at this year's BET Awards ... an inevitable part of the game, according to Consequence!!!

TMZ Hip Hop caught up with Consequence leaving Prada on Rodeo Drive, Wednesday afternoon, and the veteran rapper tells us he's experienced Kai and his BFF Rakai's cluelessness firsthand when they tried to write off his son, Caiden The Crownholder, as just the "rapping n***a" and not the artist who's burning up TikTok!!!

Deon's words resonated with many ... and Cons, being from the true school and all, gets the issue, but seeing that the wave has switched to streaming and clout-chasing, there's not much anyone can do about it. 🤷🏾‍♂️

Eddie Griffin has stories for days about running with both Tupac and Biggie when they were still alive -- and he recently told a couple ... including one which ended with him having to strongarm some of Diddy's merchandise!!!

The tenured comedian was signing autographs following a recent stand-up set in Atlanta when he was asked to travel down memory lane about hanging with the late great rap legends.

Eddie recalls rolling with Pac in the ATL area -- circa the time when the wild block party Freaknik was still a thing -- but it wasn't all fun and games ... Pac was hanging out the window double-fisted with both middle fingers out!!!

Cedric the Entertainer doesn't like all the jokes being made about food stamps over the weekend ... unless they were really good.

We caught up with one of the Original Kings Of Comedy in NYC, where our cameraperson brought up people making jokes about the U.S. government's impending halt to the country's largest anti-hunger program.

Cedric had a more serious response than we were expecting, saying, "No, that's not a joke. There's so many people living with food insecurity in the United States."

A manager at Laugh Factory Chicago was arrested by masked federal agents ... and, the wild encounter with law enforcement was caught on video.

Night manager Nathan Griffin was arrested Friday morning outside the club ... and, the clips shows officers slamming him to the ground while onlookers scream hysterically.

Griffin was ultimately subdued and thrown into the back of a white SUV while people demanded to know where the masked agents were taking Griffin.

Any attempts of Dr. Dre carving out his next big hit in the studio were thwarted ... thanks to comedian Godfrey's spot-on Donald Trump impersonation!!!

Godfrey uploaded a clip of himself in the stu with the legendary hip hop producer, where he channeled the what-if scenario of 47 being in the lab with them.

The veteran comic nailed Trump's dialect while speculating on Dre's "medical status" with racial cluelessness, labeling the Beats By Dre creator as one of his fav Black producers.

"GodTrump" went on to quip on how he was a big fan of his music, especially when Dre was in that group, "NEGROES WITH ATTITUDE!!!"

Dre bellowed with laughter and was forced to address the camera, telling the world he did greenlight the presidential parody ... all the while Godfrey spoofed Trump's patented dance moves.

Before this bubbly baby in his diaper turned into a stand-up comedian and actor, he was just rockin' out by the piano ... bustin' out the dance moves for the breakdancing team, and dreaming of becoming a huge star ...

After working a few odd jobs at the Comedy Store in San Diego, he tried stand-up during 'amateur night.' His comedic skills landed him on "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno," and he's been interviewed by big stars like Joe Rogan. He co-hosts the "Bad Friends" podcast.

Need one more clue? "And Just Like That" with Sarah Jessica Parker.

Sabrina Carpenter turned "Saturday Night Live" into Saturday Night Lust ... delivering a monologue so cheeky, it probably broke a few FCC rules.

Then came audience interaction time which, in true Sabrina fashion, quickly turned sexual. She flirted with a fan named Will from Maryland saying, "Ooh, what a sexy, unusual place," but bailed when he revealed he works in venture capital. "Okay, never mind,” she said.

The singer didn't waste a second poking fun at her reputation, telling the crowd, "Everyone thinks of me as this, like, horndog pop star. But there's so much more to me. I'm not just horny ... I'm also turned on and sexually charged."

Dylan Sprouse is taking the crown for red carpet one-liner of the year ... cracking a hilarious quip while on the red carpet at the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show.

The former Disney star was dressed to the nines in a slick navy-blue suit with a loose collar. Before cameras start flashing, Dylan hikes up his pants -- no belt in sight -- and jokes, "Let me tuck in this FUPA here real quick."

For those unfamiliar ... "FUPA" is as an acronym for Fatty Upper Pubic Area.

Gavin Newsom is becoming the ultimate troll ... the California governor mocked Donald Trump and Bibi Netanyahu as the stars of the comedy film "Dumb and Dumber."

Newsom's press office posted a photo on X of President Trump and the Israeli Prime Minister -- clutching hands during their historic announcement to Israel's Knesset on Monday, championing a long-awaited peace deal between Israel and Hamas.

The rival factions have agreed to end a two-year war that has left the Gaza Strip in shambles, with scores dead. As part of the deal, Hamas released the 20 remaining Israeli hostages and Israel released nearly 2,000 Palestinian prisoners.

Marc Maron's riding off into the sunset -- as a podcast host, at least, because he released the final episode of his long-running show "WTF With Marc Maron" on Sunday.

The comedian decided to go out with a bang for his 1,685th episode, and he traveled all the way to Washington, D.C., to spend time with his final guest, former president Barack Obama, for the episode.

The two, who chopped it up in the politician's office, had a conversation that bounced from topic to topic, including the state of President Donald Trump's administration.

The former president also gave Maron a bit of advice about navigating his post-podcasting career, and encouraged him to "take a beat" before planning out his future moves.

FYI ... the comedian started his podcast all the way back in 2009, and he recorded most episodes at his house in Los Angeles.

Maron spoke with a wide variety of comedians, performers, musicians and others on his podcast -- as well as Obama himself, who was the first sitting president of the United States to appear on a podcast, back in 2015.

"Saturday Night Live" fans got a double dose of nostalgia and political satire this weekend, as Tina Fey and Amy Poehler reunited ... stepping into the shoes of two of Donald Trump's most talked-about allies.

Poehler kicked off the cold open as MAGA Attorney General Pam Bondi, while Fey shocked the audience with a surprise cameo as gun-toting Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem.

"Before I don't answer, I'd like to insult you personally," Poehler's Bondi quipped, setting the tone for a roast-style mock hearing filled with political digs and rapid-fire one-liners. Fey's Noem stormed in with an oversized gun, declaring, "I'm the rarest type of person in Washington D.C. ... a brunette Donald Trump listens to."

From 'SNL' to UFC! A couple of comedic cut-ups were caught exchanging blows, kinda ... Fred Armisen put on a show for paparazzi Tuesday night ... picking a fight on the street with Bill Hader.

He was only joking, of course, as he pretended to yell at his fellow 'SNL' alum outside the Italian restaurant Giorgio Baldi in Santa Monica, California.

Friend and dinner guest Martin Short played along ... pretending to break up the "confrontation."

Bill and Fred were seen dining for nearly two hours Tuesday night, along with their partners Ali Wong and Riki Lindhome, respectively. Marty joined them, laughing and joking throughout the night.

Theo Von is setting the record straight after he gave fans a scare with a comment he made about suicide after his Netflix special taping apparently bombed.

On the most recent episode "This Past Weekend w/ Theo Von," the comic addressed a wave of criticism he got after his recent show allegedly went so badly most the audience bailed ... which is when he apologized to the remaining crowd, and said “I’m having a long month, I’m trying not to take my own life."

In a Thursday clip of his podcast, Theo made it clear the show at the Beacon Theatre in New York was not his best -- and he points out failure is a part of the craft -- but he is definitely not going to take his own life.

Bill Burr's never been the kind of comedian to back away from controversy ... and he certainly caught quite a bit about his participation in the ongoing Riyadh Comedy Festival in Saudi Arabia, which kicked off last week.

The comedian performed on the festival's opening night, and he defended his participation at the event in an episode of his "Monday Morning Podcast," where he said he used a performance in Bahrain as a test run for his set in Riyadh.

Burr claimed the reaction to his material went over well, and he apparently pushed the envelope a little further by performing a bit about gay men hanging out at the gym ... FYI, Saudi Arabia doesn't have the most progressive track record.

David Cross has made a career out of speaking his mind about various topics ... and he had some choice words for the comedians slated to perform at the Riyadh Comedy Festival, which kicked off last Friday.

The actor shared his opinion about the event, which features the participation of people like Pete Davidson, Whitney Cummings, and Dave Chappelle, in a message shared on his official website, and he claimed he was both "disgusted" about the situation.

David called out the performers for taking what he described as "blood money" to perform for what he described as "the most oppressive regime on earth."

The comedian specifically called out Chappelle, Louis C.K., and Bill Burr for agreeing to perform in Saudi Arabia and claimed he was seriously let down by seeing some of his "heroes" agree to appear at the event.

He also added, while he wasn't asked to take part in the Riyadh Comedy Festival, he wouldn't have if he'd been asked.

David suggested the complaints of the comedians appearing at the festival would never be taken seriously ever again ... which is pretty scorched-earth, if you ask us.

Kevin Hart made such a grand entrance when he dropped on Kai Cenat's "Mafiathon 3" marathon live stream on Monday ... it literally knocked Druski's pants off!

Check it out ... the moment is hilarious AF as Kevin slyly sneaks it between the well-dressed duo chopping it up on the stream with more than a million people watching ... and the two lose their minds!

It gets to the point where Kevin has to tell Druski to settle down -- and pull up his pants -- before he says he wants to redo the entrance with style ... which means dancing to Usher's "Yeah!"
