Controversial S#!T

La música de Travis Scott es un afrodisíaco, al menos para una pareja que se puso caliente con la ventana abierta de par en par.

Así es la cosa, el rapero subió al escenario en el Hakkasan Nightclub en el MGM Grand sábado por la noche para realizar algunas canciones antes del Super Bowl LVIII en Las Vegas.

Mientras interpretaba algunas de sus canciones, los fans pudieron ver otro tipo de show... algo que por lo general hay que pagar mucho dinero para ver en Las Vegas.

Échale un vistazo al video, se puede ver claramente a una pareja muy hot sin ningún tipo de vergüenza.

No está claro si la pareja era consciente de que eran visibles, pero definitivamente debieron pensar que alguien podía verlos, ¡las ventanas de las habitaciones de hotel son transparentes!

Algunos de los artistas se refirieron a la situación erótica, diciendo: "Ese chico es una leyenda".

La gente se levantó en redes sociales, llamando a todo el asunto incómodo y esperando que la gente tenga un poco más de respeto cuando se trata de un momento íntimo.

No sabemos si la pareja se ha enfrentado a quejas en el hotel o incluso a la policía. No sería raro debido a lo mucho que se pudo ver.

Kanye West ha revelado el misterio del taxi acuático en Italia hace unos meses... parece confirmar que efectivamente fue sexo oral.

La nueva canción de Kanye revela qué fue lo que pasó aquel día con Bianca Censori en Italia, cuando el rapero se inclinó y dejó ver "su escote de camionero".

La letra reveladora dice: "Shawty wanna f-k on somethin '? / F-k on me / Suck on me, publicly".

Como usted probablemente recuerda, Kanye y Bianca tuvieron problemas con la compañía de taxis acuáticos, ya que sentían que la pareja estaba haciendo de las suyas a bordo.

Como también saben, Kanye y Bianca causaron revuelo debido a lo que ella llevaba puesto en Venecia, o más bien lo que no llevaba puesto.

Kanye colaboró con Ty Dolla $ign para la canción que se estrenó el viernes.

Kanye West has blown the lid off the water taxi mystery in Italy a few months back ... he seems to confirm, it was indeed oral sex.

Kanye's new song "F**k Sumn" reveals what and who went down when his wife, Bianca Censori leaned down as Ye's pants were at least partially down.

The telltale lyric ..."Shawty wanna f–k on somethin’? / F–k on me / Suck on me, publicly."

As you probably recall, Kanye and Bianca were mum back in August as to what was really going on, but the water taxi company felt it knew of the shenanigans ... it banned K&B from its vessels.

As you also know, Kanye and Bianca caused a stir with what she was wearing around Venice ... more accurately what she was not wearing.

Kanye collaborated with Ty Dolla $ign for the song, which dropped Friday.

Kane Hodder está molesto porque Kanye West esté usando una máscara de Jason, pero no porque no quiera ser asociado con Ye, ¡sino que porque quiere ofrecerle una mejor!

Hablamos con Kane, quien ha interpretado a Jason Voorhees en varias películas y juegos de "Viernes 13", en el aeropuerto de Los Ángeles y dice que es genial ver al polémico rapero representando al legendario personaje, pero no cree que la máscara esté a la altura.

Hablándole directamente a Kanye a través de nuestra cámara, Kane le imploró que le permita darle una mejor máscara, diciendo que la que lleva puesta es "cursi" e insistió en que puede conseguirle una "bonita".

Kane dijo que incluso tiene algunas máscaras de películas en su casa, aunque parecía un poco reacio a desprenderse de ellas. Sin embargo, se hizo la idea, así que siempre y cuando Ye no se quede con ellas, él lo consideraría.

También le dio algunos consejos, como que amplíe sus ojos en el escenario cuando esté con la máscara porque realmente va a sorprender a la audiencia.

Kane también dijo que no está preocupado por las controversias en torno a Kanye. Dice que no le hace daño a la marca, sino que solo le eleva el perfil, ya que hace que las personas se acuerden de la legendaria serie de terror.

Kanye realmente ha interpretado el papel de Jason recientemente. El fin de semana pasado llegó a usar una máscara de Michael Myers durante el rodaje de un extraño video musical.

También la ha utilizado en algunas actuaciones sobre el escenario e incluso casualmente alrededor de Los Ángeles, como cuando recientemente se detuvo en uno de los partidos de baloncesto de su hijo Saint con ella puesta.

Y es una buena cosa que Kane no esté preocupado de que Ye manche la imagen, porque su nuevo álbum "Vultures" recibió un lanzamiento suave el viernes y comenzó una tormenta de fuego absoluta en línea

Ye hizo más referencias a los judíos e incluso nombró a Taylor Swift. No es una disidencia directa, pero incluso menciona su nombre, lo que llevó a los Swifties a golpear contra la pared dada su complicada historia.

Y en la portada del álbum está usando la máscara de hockey junto a su esposa Bianca Censori, quien aparece básicamente desnuda, por lo que el estilo va a ser asociado con Kanye durante mucho tiempo.

Ye también está siendo acusado por múltiples artistas y sus herederos por utilizar samples de sus canciones sin permiso. No está claro si estas reclamaciones pretenden perseguirlo.

5:12 PM PT -- Kane may want to hold on to his masks for now ... 'cause Ye's seemingly moved off the whole Jason theme already. He just posted a new version of his album cover to IG -- and he blacked out the mask!

Kane Hodder's upset about Kanye West wearing a Jason mask ... not because he doesn't want to be associated with Ye -- 'cause he wants to get him a better one!

We spoke with Kane -- who has played Jason Voorhees in several "Friday the 13th" movies and games -- at LAX and he says it's great to see the controversial rapper repping the legendary character, but he doesn't think the mask is up to snuff.

Speaking directly to Kanye through our camera, KH implored KW to let him give the rapper a better mask, calling the one he's wearing "cheesy" and insisting he could hook Ye up with a "nice" one.

Kane said he's even got a few movie-worn masks at his house ... though he seemed a bit reluctant to part with one of those. However, he came around to the idea a bit -- so long as Ye doesn't piss him off by trying to keep it, he said he'd consider it.

He also gave some advice to Kanye ... telling him to really widen his eyes onstage when in the mask -- 'cause it'll really shock the audience.

Kane said he's not worried about any controversy surrounding Kanye ... he says it doesn't hurt the brand -- instead saying it just raises the profile because it makes people remember the legendary horror series.

Kanye's really played into the Jason mask style recently ... even going as far as to wear it over a Michael Myers mask during a bizarre music video shoot just last weekend.

He's also worn it onstage during performances and even just casually around Los Angeles ... like when he recently pulled up to one of his son Saint's basketball games with it on.

And, it's a good thing Kane's not worried about Ye tainting the mask ... 'cause his new album "Vultures" received a soft rollout Friday and started an absolute firestorm online.

Ye made more references to Jewish people and even name-dropped Taylor Swift -- not an outright diss, but even mentioning her name drove Swifties up the wall ... given their complicated history.

And, on the album's cover ... Ye's in the hockey mask, and his wife Bianca Censori basically naked, so the look's gonna be associated with Kanye for a long time to come.

Ye's also being accused of multiple artists and their estates of using samples from their songs without permission ... unclear if these claims will come back to haunt him.

All that said ... THE Jason Voorhees is signing off on Ye using the mask -- so, Ye may lean into the look for a long time to come.

Shane Gillis has some explaining to do when he hosts "Saturday Night Live" ... according to Asian advocacy group reps who say it's not too late to make amends for his racist remarks.

The comedian is scheduled to host on February 24 ... this after Lorne Michaels fired him from the show in 2019 for making distasteful jokes directed at Asians.

Shane made the comments during a 2018 podcast, referring to noodles as "nooders" and using a derogatory term for Asians in an expletive-laden discussion about Chinatown. Many people remain outraged by Gillis' jokes .. but the comedian is now being offered a path forward if he wants to right a wrong.

Jo-Ann Yoo, the executive director of the Asian American Federation, tells TMZ ... Shane getting tapped to host is bad timing, considering the Asian community has been devastated by a wave of hate that started during the COVID-19 pandemic. She says people in the community don't need to be reminded of the type of rhetoric that caused that trend.

However ... if Shane's serious about making amends, Yoo invites him to cut a check to the org's Hope Against Hate campaign, and join their food tours for a real Asian cuisine experience.

Yoo says she's planning to tune in ... not for Shane, but rather for what she proudly calls the Bowen Yang Variety Hour. Of course, Bowen Yang is the first Asian-American hire at 'SNL.'

Over at The Asian American Foundation, CEO Norman Chen says he hopes Shane has learned from his experiences and expects him to issue a "genuine" apology on 'SNL.'

Chen tells us his org was "disheartened" to hear Shane was invited to host, saying ... "Asian Americans are not the punchline of a joke. While these jokes may result in cheap laughs, they also result in real-world, deadly consequences for Asian Americans."

Now, Shane did apologize on social media after his 'SNL' firing, saying ... "I'm a comedian who pushes boundaries. I sometimes miss. If you go through my 10 years of comedy, most of it bad, you're going to find a lot of bad misses. I'm happy to apologize to anyone who's actually offended by anything I've said. My intention is never to hurt anyone but I am trying to be the best comedian I can be and sometimes that requires risks."

However, Chen says that apology seems to be scrubbed from Shane's X (formerly Twitter) account, and his foundation wants to know if the apology still stands -- and, if so, a global stage like 'SNL' would be a great place to reaffirm it on camera.

Jason Kidd lit NBA Twitter/X on fire for saying Luka Doncic is better than Dirk Nowitzki ... but Shawn Marion is coming to his defense -- telling TMZ Sports the Mavs coach's comments were simply based on skill set, not accolades.

ICYMI, Kidd -- who started coaching the Mavs in 2021 -- recently said Doncic has surpassed Nowitzki in his eyes ... as the 24-year-old "does things that Dirk could never do."

Kidd was ripped for his comment ... especially since Dirk -- a 7-foot forward who can drain threes -- led the Mavs to their first NBA Finals title in 2011.

But Marion -- who was on that championship squad with Dirk and J. Kidd -- said people were mixing up what Jason truly meant ... and he doesn't think it was meant to downplay all Nowitzki did for the franchise.

"He's talking about the whole package," Marion told TMZ Sports. "He's talking about his skill set."

"He's not approaching [Dirk] in the accolades. There's no comparison [there]."

Marion is not taking anything away from Doncic ... pointing out the Mavs guard has amazing highlights at just the age of 24, including his recent 73-point game -- his career-high and franchise record.

Of course, old-school NBA fans would say Doncic can get so many points up because of the lack of defense in today's game ... but Marion -- who played 16 seasons -- says the game is just evolving at a faster pace.

"Layups are almost becoming null and void," the 45-year-old said. "They're making a conscious effort to get shots up within two passes."

"We ran systems, we had sets [in our era]. It's a big difference when you just running to score."

Katt Williams and Mo'Nique's sharing their "truth" on "Club Shay Shay" was the worst possible move for the Black community ... at least in Judge Mathis' eyes.

The man has been paid to have an honest gauge on uneasy situations -- legal, ethical and otherwise -- and according to Hizzoner, he rules that all this mud-slinging stinks. On Friday, Mathis held court on his IG page and called for an end to the recent missiles launched in the public eye amongst Black entertainers.

He didn't single out Katt and Mo by name but the social media space has been in shambles since Katt's interview aired on January 3 ... and Mo followed suit this week -- even joining KW's nationwide tour with other comics who seem to have bones to pick.

Judge Mathis didn't bite his tongue -- he called the feeding frenzy an embarrassment to Black culture and feels it his gut that big H'wood execs and studios are silently laughing on the sidelines.

He also pointed out he doesn't see other cultures tearing each other down in public ... just Black people being the sideshow spectacle -- that's how's he framing his argument here.

The 63-year-old justice admitted he doesn't always keep his cool in his own courtroom but notes those outbursts are spun into entertainment for his TV shows.

Judge Mathis concluded by stressing that these stars' issues should be hashed out in private settings ... instead of setting bad examples.

We'll see if Shannon Sharpe takes a breather with these interviews -- or if he keeps on bringing celebs with more grievances to air. On its face, he seems inclined toward the latter.

A transgender woman who sued her ex-boyfriend for throwing out her balls apparently didn't have a case worth litigating ... 'cause a judge tossed her suit, not to mention the BF's.

Brianna Kingsley had recently filed a lawsuit against William Wojciechowski in Detroit -- whom she was dating a couple years ago as she was transitioning ... and who she claims discarded her surgically-removed testicles in the wake of their breakup.

At first, Kingsley was suing Bill for allegedly not returning her balls to her -- claiming in her small claims suit that he was holding them hostage, and keeping them in a mason jar in his fridge next to a carton of eggs. However, after she sued him ... her ex countersued her, claiming she'd humiliated him and also noting that he'd already thrown the testicles away.

It was a lot of back and forth for a while ... and the absurd case was highlighted by a quote Kinglsey had said in court at one point -- saying, "We’re talking about my nuts … I wanted them in my fridge -- not his. The damages were the loss of these nuts."

Kingsley was seeking the return of her testes -- even though they'd already been thrown out -- plus an extra $6,500 in damages. The boyfriend was also seeking damages for his claim.

In the end ... hizzoner said the whole thing was ridiculous and not worth taking under further consideration -- in fact, he called their competing lawsuits against each other a "wash," and added that it would've been too difficult to put a dollar amount on balls.

The judge tossed both lawsuits and basically closed the book on this matter. He also noted his decision could not be appealed -- so no chance of either of them continuing to fight it.

BTW, Kingsley seemed proud to show off her balls a couple years ago after she underwent gender-reassignment surgery -- so we suppose it's understandable they were of value to her.

Bobbi Althoff getting divorced is now being picked apart by fans who think Drake might've had something to do with it -- but we got the real story ... and it's far from that at all.

Here's the deal ... Bobbi's now-estranged husband, Cory, cited July 4, '23 as the day he and BA separated -- and the reason folks are hyper-focusing on this is because it just so happens to be around the time she aired her viral interview with Drake, where they're both in bed.

Of course, the speculation has been peaking -- with many suggesting Bobbi and Drake were, perhaps, closer than we saw ... and that they maybe had something going on BTS.

Welp, sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ ... Drake was actually NOT a big fan of Bobbi toward the end of summer last year -- and that they had a major falling out post-interview, although they were friendly in the immediate aftermath.

Long story short ... we're told Drake and Bobbi continued texting after they had their famous lay-down chat -- and our sources say Drizzy even invited Bobbi to his L.A. concert on Aug. 12 ... which she attended. Unfortunately for her, only general admission was offered.

Our sources tell us Bobbi was genuinely angry about this -- apparently feeling she deserved to be in the VIP area with Drake's other celeb friends -- and she made her indignation known in a since-deleted video where she's standing around on the arena floor pouting about.

Not long after that went up ... Bobbi took the clip down, and within the same weekend -- she also took down the original nearly hour-long interview ... no explanation for either.

At the time, people were trying to figure out if they'd had a falling out -- and as it turns out, they absolutely did. Our sources tell us that when Bobbi was at the show ... her little video was reflecting how she actually felt -- namely, furious she'd ended up in GA.

We're told Bobbi blew Drake up about it that same night -- while he was onstage -- and that she even tried going backstage at one point ... but got rebuffed by security.

Not long after this ... we're told Drake's camp hit her team to demand she take down both the clip and the interview ... which she then did. At that point, we're told their friendship fizzled.

Now, in terms of whether they've patched things up since -- something Bobbi herself recently implied on Keke Palmer's podcast ... we're told they haven't. Bobbi told Keke they'd spoken in recent weeks ... but our sources tell us they have not. We're told they don't talk anymore.

On the issue of why Cory actually filed to divorce Bobbi -- it's a very simple explanation ... our sources tell us her skyrocketing fame and his desire to remain a normie was the main catalyst, and that it had nothing to do with allegations of cheating. Although, we're sure he probably didn't appreciate how cozy she was acting with Champagne Papi on tape.

El divorcio de Bobbi Althoff está siendo observado bien de cerca por los fans que piensan que Drake podría haber tenido algo que ver con eso, pero tenemos la verdadera historia y está lejos de ser así.

Así es la cosa, Bobbi, el ex marido de Cory, citó el 4 de julio del 2023 como el día en que él y Bobbi se separaron, y la razón por la gente está conmocionada, es porque da la casualidad de que es muy cerca del momento en que salió al aire su entrevista viral con Drake, donde ambos están en la cama.

Por supuesto, la especulación ha llegado a su punto máximo, con muchos sugiriendo que Bobbi y Drake eran, tal vez, más cercanos de lo que pudimos ver, y que tal vez tenían algo pasando a escondidas.

Sin embargo, fuentes directas nos informan que Drake no era un gran fan de Bobbi hacia el final del verano del año pasado y tuvieron una caída importante después de la entrevista, a pesar de que se hicieron amigos inmediatamente después.

Nos dicen que Drake y Bobbi continuaron enviando mensajes de texto después de que tuvieron su famosa charla y nuestras fuentes dicen que Drake incluso invitó a Bobbi a su concierto de Los Ángeles el 12 de agosto... al que asistió. Por desgracia para ella, solo obtuvo la entrada general.

Nuestras fuentes nos dicen que Bobbi estaba realmente enfadada por esto, aparentemente sintiendo que merecía estar en la zona VIP con otros amigos famosos de Drake, y ella hizo saber su indignación en un video ya borrado donde ella está de pie en el suelo de la arena haciendo pucheros.

No mucho después de que lo subió, Bobbi quitó el clip, y en el mismo fin de semana también quitó la entrevista original de casi una hora de duración sin explicación aparente.

En ese momento, la gente estaba tratando de averiguar si habían tenido una pelea y resulta que así fue. Nuestras fuentes nos dicen que cuando Bobbi estaba en el show, su pequeño video estaba reflejando cómo se sentía en realidad, es decir, furiosa de terminar en la galería.

Nos dicen Bobbi no se comportó de la mejor manera esa noche, incluso trató de ir detrás del escenario en un momento, pero la seguridad la detuvo.

No mucho después de esto, nos dicen que el campamento de Drake golpeó a su equipo para exigir que retire tanto el clip y como la entrevista, y así fue como pasó. En ese momento su amistad se esfumó.

Ahora, respecto a si han arreglado las cosas desde entonces, algo que Bobbi dio a entender recientemente en el pódcast de Keke Palmer... nos informan que no lo han hecho. Bobbi le dijo a Keke que habían hablado las últimas semanas, pero nuestras fuentes nos dicen que no lo han hecho. Nos dicen que no hablan más

Sobre la cuestión de por qué Cory realmente le pidió el divorcio a Bobbi, muy simple, nuestras fuentes nos dicen que su fama y su deseo de seguir siendo un normie fue el principal catalizador y que no tenía nada que ver con las acusaciones de engaño. Aunque estamos seguros de que probablemente no apreciaba cómo acogedor que estaba actuando con Champagne Papi en la cinta.

There's a new establishment in New Hampshire that gives adults the chance to be a literal baby -- but one prominent advocate in this community says they're going about it all wrong.

The small town of Atkinson, NH -- home to roughly 7,000 people -- has recently welcomed a business called the Diaper Spa ... which operates exactly how it sounds. It's a place where adults with this sort of need for baby-like experiences can let it all hang out, unjudged.

They have a ton of services for sale at this place ... including virtual play dates that go for $200/hour and an all-day "Diaper B&B" experience that provides baby pampering for $1,500.

As you might imagine ... this diaper spa in Atkinson has rubbed a lot of folks in town the wrong way -- and some are even expressing straight-up outrage and concern over the fact this place even exists, not to mention what they say is too close proximity to parks/schools.

Funny enough ... a major player in the ABDL (adult baby/diaper lovers) scene says these small-town people's indignation might actually be justified, 'cause she thinks there wasn't a lot of thought put into the specifics ... namely, location and cost -- which she's scoffing at.

We're talking about Riley Kilo -- who's a known ABDL proponent, and who supports this movement when done correctly. In this case, however, she thinks the Diaper Spa owners screwed the pooch a bit in execution of their vision, even if their heart is in the right place.

According to Riley, there's a few things that she believes are misguided when it comes to Diaper Spa -- including where it actually is. Fact is, she tells us this sorta business should've been set up in a more metropolitan area with more diversity/acceptance for this sorta stuff.

She says it's no surprise residents in a small, rural town are reacting the way they are -- and believes the owners should've been more mindful. RK also slams their price range for their services -- calling them "fetish prices," and way too expensive -- and even thinks what they charge lends to the notion this is all just a bunch of kinky sex stuff ... which she says is off too.

Hay un nuevo establecimiento en New Hampshire que le da a los adultos la oportunidad de ser un bebé literalmente, pero un destacado defensor de esta comunidad dice que están haciendo las cosas mal.

La pequeña ciudad de Atkinson, de unos 7.000 habitantes, ha acogido recientemente un negocio llamado Diaper Spa, que funciona exactamente como suena. Es un lugar donde los adultos con este tipo de necesidad de experiencias similares a los bebés pueden dar rienda suelta a sus instintos sin ser juzgados.

Tienen una tonelada de servicios a la venta en este lugar, incluyendo citas de juego virtuales que van por los $200 la hora y una experiencia de todo el día "Pañal B & B" que proporciona mimos bebé por $1.500.

Como se puede imaginar, este spa de pañales en Atkinson ha sido muy polémico y algunos incluso están expresando franca indignación y preocupación por el hecho de que este lugar exista, por no hablar de que está demasiado cerca de los parques.

Curiosamente, un cliente importante del ABDL (bebé adulto/amantes del pañal) dice que estas personas indignadas en realidad podrían tener sus motivos, porque piensa que no hay atención puesta en los detalles, tales como la ubicación y el costo.

Estamos hablando de Riley Kilo, que es una conocida defensora del ABDL y que apoya este movimiento cuando se hace correctamente. En este caso, sin embargo, cree que los propietarios de Diaper Spa metieron la pata un poco en la ejecución de su visión, incluso si su corazón está en el lugar correcto.

Según Riley, hay algunas cosas que ella cree que están equivocados cuando se trata de pañal Spa - incluyendo donde realmente es. En realidad, nos dice que este tipo de negocio debería haberse establecido en un área más metropolitana con más diversidad/aceptación para este tipo de cosas.

Dice que no es de extrañar que los habitantes de una pequeña ciudad rural reaccionen así, y cree que los propietarios deberían haber tenido más cuidado. Tambien critica los precios de sus servicios, llamándolos "precios fetichistas" y demasiado caros, e incluso piensa que lo que cobran se presta a la noción de que todo esto es solo un montón de cosas sexuales pervertidas... lo que ella dice que también está fuera de lugar.

Taylor Swift recently unloaded one of her private jets -- and at least one of the new owners is linked to a well-known company ... specializing in cars.

Here's the deal ... FAA records show that Taylor sold a Dassault Falcon 900 jet that's been in her possession for years -- since 2009, in fact -- and the transaction was completed at the end of last month ... with a new owner listed as some mysterious, soulless LLC.

As it turns out, however, this LLC that now owns Taylor's jet isn't so random after all ... it appears to be linked to CarShield -- specifically, a bigwig of the auto protection company.

The LLC in question is called Triangle Real Estate, and it's incorporated in Missouri -- dating back to 2006 -- with a man named Nicholas Hamilton named as a former officer of the company.

On its own, that info might not reveal too much about the new owner -- however, the FAA has the new owner's address listed as a CarShield call center out in St. Peters, MO.

And, as it turns out ... Nick Hamilton is the CEO of CarShield.

So, just to recap ... the new listed owner of Taylor's jet is an LLC linked to CarShield's CEO -- and the new listed address of the current jet owner goes right to a CarShield office. Coincidence??? Something tells us it ain't. One thing, though, Nick has a partner in the LLC ... so, she'll likely be enjoying some PJ flights, too.

The actual sale price isn't disclosed publicly, but a new one of these jets goes for around $40 million on the open market.

Usher's biggest hit single, "Yeah!" almost didn't happen, if not for his label boss L.A. Reid threatening him like a mob boss ... at least, that's how producer Rico Love remembers it.

The decorated singer/songwriter was a recent guest on Home Grown Radio where he looked back at his first big break -- writing the "Throwback" song on Usher's chart-topping "Confessions" album, which celebrates its 20th anniversary this year.

Rico says he was on hand when Usher first heard the demo to "Yeah!," written by Sean Garrett, which initially failed to impress the R&B megastar ... who flat-out refused to record the track.

Rico admits he also thought the song was corny -- he says the opening lyrics, "Up in the club with my homies/Tryin' to get a little V.I./Keep it down on the low-key" ... made him fall on the floor laughing.

On the other hand, Reid -- who was the President of Arista Records at the time -- heard a hit and demanded Usher push the song out ahead of the original first single, "Burn."

When Usher pushed back further, Rico says Reid didn't give him much of an option and told him to "do the f***** song" and hung up on him immediately after!!!

The tough love paid off in plaques ... "Yeah!" topped the charts for 12 weeks straight, and "Confessions" went on to be certified Diamond. Rico calls it great A&R'ing.

The owner of the only Chiefs-inspired bar in San Francisco is clearing up whether 49ers fans are actually "banned" -- as has been suggested -- and he's saying they're not, but also noting ... it might be hard to get in come game day.

Here's the deal ... Vlad Cood -- who owns the sports bar Buzzworks in SF, which has come to be known as a Chiefs-friendly haven for Kansas City diehards -- tells TMZ that recent reports he and his staff weren't letting San Fran fans into the establishment are false.

There were a lot of headlines locally that ran with that narrative, but Cood says his words were taken out of context -- although, he does admit ... it could be difficult for the 49ers faithful to actually get into the building, especially around Super Bowl weekend.

While he tells us his doors are open to any and all -- regardless of team affiliation -- Cood says that his bar tends to get packed with Chiefs fans on football Sunday early and often ... and that's just how it's gone for a while.

Cood says 49ers heads can certainly swing by anytime they want, but by the time kickoff starts -- he tells us Buzzworks is usually stuffed with Chiefs people ... and he doesn't expect that to change for the SB. In other words, come as you are ... but come with time to spare!

He also says this ... if 49ers fans are truly interested in coming to his business, he's got an alternative for them where they can congregate and pound booze among their brethren. As it turns out, Cood owns another bar across the street there called Butter, which he says has more than enough room for anyone who wants to file in and catch Super Bowl LVIII.

Here's the irony in all this ... Cood tells us he himself is actually a longtime 49ers fan -- so even though Buzzworks caters to Chiefs lovers, it sounds like he'd love to be with his own kind.
