Controversial S#!T

Lil Pump has taken issue with Kamala Harris identifying as Black -- falsely claiming she has no African heritage (which isn't true) ... all while again doubling down on Donald Trump.

The rapper followed in Swae Lee's footsteps over the weekend -- coming down hard on KH over race ... namely, floating the wild allegation that she "isn't Black." Instead, Pump insists she's only of Indian heritage ... even though a quick Google search disproves that.

Either way ... LP is deep in his delusion here -- he got interviewed about this topic and stuck to his guns about her race -- and also said she's incarcerated over 1500 people over weed-related offenses during her time as district attorney in San Francisco.

Tiffany Haddish is facing some heat after visiting a grocery store in Africa and acting like it was the coolest thing ever ... which she clearly doesn't think she deserves.

The comedian/actress ventured out while visiting Zimbabwe -- where she made a stop at a local supermarket and recorded herself inside. While filming in the supermarket, Tiff expressed shock and amazement multiple times ... commenting on how beautiful and massive it was.

The implication here -- or at least how people took it -- was that TH couldn't believe how modern the grocery store was in an African country ... and the internet didn't take that well.

Donald Trump's security details didn't communicate with other law enforcement in the lead-up to the attempt on his life ... this, according to another law enforcement org.

Beaver County SWAT team members assigned to protect the former president during his rally in Butler, Pennsylvania earlier this month sat down for an interview with ABC News airing Monday morning.

In a small clip shared on Good Morning America Sunday, eight members of the SWAT team say they had no contact with the Secret Service prior to the shooting ... and, no way to contact the former president's detail either.

Nelly Furtado says her daughter saved her upcoming album with some blunt advice ... calling her out for thinking auto-tune sounds cool.

The singer-songwriter spoke with NME all about her upcoming album "7" ... and, she admits she got a little crazy when it came to auto-tune before her daughter shut her down.

Furtado says her Nevis, 20, told her auto-tune's not cool, full stop ... so, it shouldn't come anywhere near her new record.

Donald Trump says this election is the last people will have to vote in if they elect him ... drawing side-eye from tons online who think he's promoting dictatorship.

The former president took the stage in West Palm Beach, Florida last night to speak to a ton of his supporters ... many of whom were apparently Christians -- 'cause DJT took time to address them directly during his speech.

He implores members of the religion to get out and vote, just for this election if they don't want to in the future ... 'cause he says elections will just be a formality moving forward.

Kamala Harris' presidential run may have given "Veep" viewership a boost ... but, the show's creator says any links between her and the show's main character weren't intentional.

Armando Iannucci -- the man who created the 17-time Emmy-winning saga -- sat down for a recent interview with The Guardian ... and, he quickly put any doubts to rest, adamantly saying KH didn't inspire Julia Louis Dreyfus' Selina Meyer.

He says he understands where people see the connection -- a female senator, elevated to the vice presidency before they have to step into the president's shoes after he steps down -- but, it's all just one big coincidence.

Josh Hall is leaning on friends during his divorce from Christina Haack, dropping a pic of himself with Candace Owens and Amber Rose -- which came together spontaneously.

The celebrity realtor was grinning ear-to-ear in the IG Story post Friday ... clearly enjoying his company in Nashville despite his recent single status. Some might've thought this pic implies something else might be afoot between him and the two ladies ... but that ain't the case.

Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ ... Candace is Josh’s longtime pal, and after finding out he was in Nashville and going through a tough time in his personal life -- she invited him to come kick it with her and Amber, and he took her up on the offer.

J.D. Vance is trying to claw his way out of the "childless cat lady" controversy ... purr-suading everyone he's not a cat hater, and claiming people totally missed his point.

Donald Trump's running mate appeared on "The Megyn Kelly Show" Friday ... claiming haters are too busy fixating on the sarcasm in his old 2021 comments and not enough on the supposed wisdom he was trying to drop.

The U.S. Senator from Ohio attempted to clear things up ... saying the real point he was trying to make was having kids and becoming a parent was good, and seriously shifts your perspective in a major way.

Dutch volleyball star Steven van de Velde, a convicted child rapist, is slated to compete in the Paris Olympics this week ... and the IOC is now facing serious pressure to investigate how he was able to be included in the Games despite his disgraced past.

Van de Velde allegedly raped a 12-year-old back in 2014 -- when he was 19. Authorities claimed he initially met the girl online -- and then flew from Amsterdam to London a short time later to have sexual relations with her -- this despite him being aware of her age. In 2016, he was convicted of rape and sentenced to four years in prison.

However, after serving 12 months behind bars in Britain, he was transferred to the Netherlands, where he was resentenced. Roughly a month later, he was released. Following his time served, he told a local media outlet he was not a pedophile.

Kamala Harris is zeroing in on comments J.D. Vance made back when he was running for Senate ... grousing about women -- especially Black women -- flying around the country to get abortions.

Vance appeared in 2022 on Aimee Terese's "Very Fine People" podcast, and said there needed to be a ban on abortion, because leaving it to the states would allow women to travel to parts of the country where abortion is still legal.

He gave an example ... “Ohio bans abortion … you know, in let’s say 2024. And then, every day, George Soros sends a 747 to Columbus to load up disproportionately Black women to get them to go have abortions in California. And of course, the left will celebrate this as a victory for diversity.”

Ana Navarro is defending Vice President Kamala Harris -- following a slew of attacks on her dating history -- by sharing a throwback image of a naked Melania Trump.

The 'View' co-host just posted an old GQ photo of Melania, showing the former first lady in the nude -- all the goods are covered by a fur rug -- but Melania's wearing nothing but jewelry and she's chained to a briefcase inside Donald Trump's private jet.

Ana says the image, from the January 2000 GQ magazine edition, is appropriate given all the heat Kamala is taking for her former relationships ... including accusations she slept her way to the top of the political ladder.

The transgender daughter Elon Musk says is dead to him is lashing out at her father -- ripping him as an absent parent who knows nothing about her transition.

Vivian Jenna Wilson is going scorched earth on Elon after her father claimed the "woke mind virus" brainwashed her into transitioning from a man to a woman.

In a social media rant, Vivian says Elon is lying about her picking out clothes for him when she was 4 years old and calling those choices "fabulous" ... and she says she wasn't born "slightly autistic" and wasn't into musicals and theater, as the Tesla chief claims.

Now THIS is a debate -- the race for Sheriff in Florida's Palm Beach County has one candidate so fired up, he said what's really on his mind after getting roasted in a showdown with his rivals.

The debate went down by Zoom earlier this week, and Michael Gauger didn't mince his words ... firing back at fellow candidate Lauro Diaz by calling him a "f***ing ***hole!"

It all kickstarted when Diaz completely bypassed the other candidate, Alex Freeman, to declare the race was a two-man show, with his sights set squarely on Gauger.

Hip Hop's days of promoting voluptuous surgery-enhanced women are ancient history ... at least according to DreamDoll and Safaree ... and the "Love and Hip Hop: NY" vets aren't even working together on this initiative!

DreamDoll, as her name suggests, built her rap career based on being a real-life Barbie doll ... her debut mixtape series was even called "Life In Plastic."

While speaking on "The Zeze Millz Show," DreamDoll admitted she regretted all the times she went under the knife to fit the hip hop image, and opened up about "transitioning" back into her natural body.

Gilbert Arenas is issuing a direct mea culpa to Luol Deng for his xenophobic comments about South Sudan's men's basketball team ... this after the African former NBA star released a powerful statement addressing the whole ordeal.

As we previously reported, Arenas faced a ton of backlash for going on an offensive rant on Saturday ... shortly after LeBron James and Team USA squeaked by South Sudan prior to the Olympics. Celtics legend Paul Pierce also found himself in hot water for making similar remarks during an appearance on "Undisputed."

The ex-Bulls and Lakers forward -- who serves as the president of the South Sudan Basketball Federation -- broke his silence on both Arenas and Pierce's controversial words directed at his native country's team ... saying he wasn't upset or angry by their words, but more "disappointed" it came from two former colleagues he's always respected.

MrBeast is speaking out after his longtime co-host Ava Kris Tyson was hit with serious grooming allegations ... and assures fans he's looking into the matter.

The Internet star issued his statement on X Wednesday, after Ava announced she was exiting her role at the uber-popular YouTube channel amid the controversy. MrBeast confirmed he'll no longer be working with AKT and revealed he has hired a 3rd party to conduct an investigation into the allegations.

As MB put it ... there was enough evidence to remove Ava from his staff, but he'll let the investigation conclude before choosing to pursue any further action.
