Crime & Arrests

Las tensiones de Drake con Megan Thee Stallion están otra vez en el centro de atención después de que algunos fans tomaran su aparentemente inofensivo mensaye de apoyo a su fotógrafa, durante un concierto de Houston, y lo dieran la vuelta en otra dirección.

Durante el show de Drake el 18 de septiembre, el rapero se tomó el tiempo para reconocer a su fotógrafa MegYup, y que todo el público vitoreara por "esta Meg, no por esa otra Meg".

Dado que Drake ha mencionado antes a la estrella del rap de Houston, a quien efectivamente desprecia en la canción "Circo Loco", los fans se volvieron locos especulando una vez que el clip comenzó a circular en las redes sociales.

Megan The Stallion tomó sus propias redes sociales para dejar las cosas claras, acusando a los trolls de arruinar su gran momento de gloria. Pero finalmente lo dejó pasar, e hizo mención al próximo álbum de Drake, que se lanzará en octubre.

Alex Spiro, quien representó a Thee Stallion durante el juicio contra Tory Lanez, dijo a TMZ Hip Hop que Drake y otros dudosos quedarían como tontos después del veredicto ... y bueno, la historia jugó a su favor.

Drake's tensions with Megan Thee Stallion are back in the spotlight after some fans took his seemingly harmless shoutout -- during his Houston concert -- and flipped it into another diss.

During Drake's September 18 show, he took time out to shout photographer MegYup by name, quipping, "Real H-Town love, shout out to Meg one time for real … not that Meg, this Meg.”

Given his past mentioning of the Houston rap star -- he effectively dissed her on the "Her Loss" track "Circo Loco" -- fans went wild with speculation once the clip began to circulate on social media.

MegYup took to her own social media to set the record straight, accusing unintelligible trolls of ruining her big moment of glory -- but eventually she called it a day, and simply plugged his upcoming album.

Alex Spiro, who represented Thee Stallion during her trial against Tory Lanez, told TMZ Hip Hop that Drake and other doubters would have egg on their faces ahead of the verdict ... which history shows went in their favor.

Traveling light is always the goal, but, uh ... this guy's taking it just a hair too far.

Folks in Dallas-Fort Worth airport got an eyeful when this butt-naked dude casually strolled through one of the concourses, past a TGI Fridays -- hey, for some folks it's always Friday!!!

Mind you, there was surprisingly little fanfare or shock from his fellow travelers, besides the guy who recorded this Monday night. He couldn't help yelling the obvious, "There's a naked guy in the airport!"

That brilliant color commentary was very much appreciated by the nudist himself, who turned, smiled and pointed at the camera as if he were an all-star athlete walking off the field.

Cops weren't as impressed and took the man into custody for a mental health evaluation ... and he was not booked for any crime.

Viajar ligero de equipaje es siempre un a buena idea, pero este tipo en un aeropuerto de Dallas se lo tomó demasiado en serio...

¡¡¡La gente en el aeropuerto de Dallas-Fort Worth se fue de espaldas cuando un hombre con el culo desnudo se andaba paseando casualmente a través de los vestíbulos!!! Todo ocurrió cerca de un TGI Fridays, y podemos suponer que para algunas personas siempre es viernes.

Eso sí, sorprendentemente hubo poca conmoción por parte de sus compañeros de viaje, descontando al tipo que lo grabó el lunes por la noche, quien no pudo evitar gritar lo obvio: "¡Hay un hombre desnudo en el aeropuerto!".

El oportuno comentario fue muy apreciado por el propio nudista, quien se giró, sonrió y señaló a la cámara como si fuera una estrella deportiva saliendo del campo.

Los policías no estaban tan impresionados y se llevaron al hombre bajo custodia para realizarle una evaluación de salud mental, y el hombre no fue fichado por ningún delito.

El marido de Nicki Minaj está de vuelta en la cárcel... bueno, más o menos.

Kenneth Petty fue puesto en arresto domiciliario por hasta 120 días y todo porque amenazó a Offset por redes sociales.

Según documentos judiciales obtenidos por TMZ, Petty violó su libertad condicional federal por "hacer comentarios amenazantes mientras estaba en compañía de alguien con antecedentes penales."

Un juez ordenó que Petty estuviera en arresto domiciliario hasta por 4 meses para vigilar de cerca sus actividades. Como parte de ser monitoreado, Petty podría tener que ser equipado con una pulsera de tobillo GPS electrónico, aunque eso no se ha determinado todavía.

Los nuevos problemas de Petty comenzaron la semana pasada cuando publicó un vídeo en Instagram en el que aparecía él mismo y dos amigos increpando al marido de Cardi B. El trío estaba de pie al otro lado de la calle de un hotel de Nueva York donde Offset supuestamente se alojaba y todos estaban actuando de manera bastante amenazante.

En respuesta, Offset más tarde publicó su propio video en las redes sociales en el que se le veía riendo en la pista fuera de su jet privado que estaba en alguna parte cerca del hotel.

¡¡¡Claramente los federales no lo encontraron divertido y no perdieron tiempo para poner fin a todo el asunto!!!

Nicki Minaj's husband is back in prison ... sort of.

Kenneth Petty was put on home detention for up to 120 days -- and all because he threatened Offset on social media.

According to court docs, obtained by TMZ, Petty violated his federal probation by "making threatening remarks while in the company of someone with a criminal record."

A judge ordered Petty to be placed on house arrest for as long as 4 months to keep a close eye on his activities. As part of being monitored, Petty might have to be fitted with an electronic GPS ankle bracelet, although that hasn't been determined yet.

Petty's new troubles began last week when he posted an Instagram video, featuring himself and two buddies sounding off on Cardi B's husband. The trio was standing across the street from an NYC hotel where Offset was supposedly staying -- and they were all acting pretty menacing.

In response, Offset later posted his own video on social media, showing himself chuckling on the tarmac outside his private jet -- which was nowhere near the hotel.

Clearly, the feds didn't find it funny ... because they wasted no time putting a stop to it -- and Petty!!

Over the years, Petty has been convicted of attempted rape and attempted murder and has served two stints in prison. In 2022, he was sentenced to 3 years probation after he failed to register as a sex offender in California.

Tory Lanez fue enviado a North Kern State Prison el miércoles para comenzar a cumplir su condena por el caso de disparo contra Megan Thee Stallion, y parece que allí es donde se quedará, a menos que su equipo legal sea capaz de sacarlo mientras apela a su condena.

Hemos indagado que la instalación de seguridad que alberga a más de 4.000 reclusos, será donde Tory pasará al menos los primeros meses de su sentencia de 10 años. Aunque el lugar ha hecho noticia en el último tiempo.

Los reportes locales revelan que el asesino en serie y convicto Ramón Escobar, fue acusado de asesinato en primer grado después de presuntamente matar a su compañero de celda a principios de este año. Juan Villanueva, de 53 años, cumplía condena por agresión sexual con agravantes a un menor cuando fue hallado muerto en su celda en febrero.

Además, el 4 de julio, Ricardo Saldivar, de 25 años, fue encontrado muerto en su celda, y los funcionarios del Departamento de Correcciones y Rehabilitación de California están investigando la muerte como un homicidio.

Además este mismo mes, un ex recluso y delincuente sexual convicto fue declarado culpable en relación con un incidente ocurrido en 2020 en el que fue acusado de atacar a un par de funcionarios de prisiones.

La instalación está equipada con una valla eléctrica alrededor del perímetro, pero varios reclusos se han escapado en los últimos años, según los informes.

Tory Lanez is officially on the inside ... ensconced at the prison where he'll likely spend the next 10 years, and the facility is no cakewalk, as multiple murders have happened there just this year.

North Kern State Prison in Delano, California houses around 4,000 inmates, and recently became the focus of local news media after a vicious crime within its walls.

Reports say convicted serial killer Ramon Escobar was recently charged with first-degree murder after allegedly killing his cellmate, 53-year-old Juan Villanueva back in February.

Villanueva was locked up for aggravated sexual assault of a child.

Additionally, on July 4, 25-year-old Ricardo Saldivar was found dead in his cell, and officials with the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation are now investigating his death as a homicide.

There's also violence with inmates and correctional officers ... just this month a former inmate and convicted sex offender was found guilty in connection to a 2020 incident where he was accused of attacking a pair of staffers.

The facility is fitted with an electric fence around the perimeter ... but several inmates have reportedly been able to escape over the years.

Shannon Beador is rest and recovery mode after crashing her car and getting busted for DUI -- and new pics show her getting by with a little help from none other than her ex-boyfriend, John Janssen.

Check out these photos of the 'RHOC' star heading up to what we're told is John's pad in Newport Beach, CA -- just a few days after Shannon was arrested for allegedly driving under the influence ... not to mention what cops say was a straight up hit-and-run.

Shannon headed up the stairs Tuesday, with John following closely behind. You can see her left arm is tucked inside her jacket, and the photog on the scene says she might've been wearing a sling ... suggesting she was injured in the crash.

What's also interesting is seeing her with John --. remember, they'd gone through a nasty split, which devastated SB. Now, however, he seems to be in her corner again.

TMZ broke the story ... Shannon was taken to jail Saturday night over what cops say was a wild ride in her car that ended with her slamming into someone's home, damaging a concrete planter and damn near going through the front door.

We also obtained video of Shannon's alleged DUI incident ... and the footage appears to show her driving in an erratic manner right before the crash. Through her attorney, Shannon's said she's extremely apologetic and remorseful.

Tory Lanez is settling into his new life behind bars, getting transferred to state prison and posing for a new mug shot ... one where he looks none too pleased.

We just obtained the pic, Tory's hair looks messy and he's certainly not smiling ... sporting a scowl on his face. As for where he'll be housed, Tory checked in Tuesday at North Kern State Prison in Delano, California ... about 145 miles from Los Angeles.

As we reported, Tory was sentenced to 10 years behind bars last month for negligent discharge of a firearm, assault with a semiautomatic firearm, and carrying a loaded and unregistered firearm.

Tory can find plenty to do in order to stay busy while he's locked up, we're told the prison offers a bunch of different jobs with wages ranging from $.08 an hour for unskilled labor, and up to $.30 an hour for skilled labor ... but he's gotta apply for those gigs.

Bijou Phillips is showing more signs her divorce from Danny Masterson is more a legal matter, and less a personal one -- because she's still rocking her wedding band.

BP was still wearing her bling Tuesday in Los Olivos, CA ... stepping out of a real estate office the day after she filed papers to start the divorce process.

It's obviously interesting, wearing your ring the day after calling off your nearly 12-year marriage -- and it fuels speculation that the split is purely strategic.

BTW, Los Olivos is in Central California's Santa Ynez Valley, and Bijou and Danny own a home and farmland there.

As we reported, Bijou wrote a letter of support for her husband only weeks ago, ahead of his sentencing of 30 years to life ... pleading for the judge to give him a light sentence, saying he's a "life-saving" father who's always looked out for others.

She also was reportedly wailing in the courtroom when Masterson was found guilty in May, so her turning around and filing for divorce less than 2 weeks later came as a shock ... at least, on a personal level.

Tory Lanez se está asentando en su nueva vida tras las rejas. Esto, luego de ser transferido a la prisión estatal y posar para una nueva foto policial en la que no se ve muy contento.

Acabamos de obtener la fotografía, donde ciertamente no se ve a gusto con el ceño fruncido y el pelo algo desordenado. En cuanto a dónde va a ser alojado, el rapero se registró el martes en North Kern State Prison en Delano, California, cerca de 145 millas de Los Ángeles.

Como informamos, Tory fue condenado a 10 años tras las rejas el mes pasado por tres cargos: disparar de forma negligente un arma de fuego, asalto con un arma de fuego semiautomática, y llevar un arma de fuego cargada y no registrada.

Tory puede encontrar mucho que hacer para mantenerse ocupado mientras esté encerrado. Nos han dicho que la prisión ofrece un montón de diferentes empleos, con salarios que van desde $0,08 por hora para mano de obra no calificada, hasta $0,30 por hora para mano de obra calificada. Pero aún tiene que aplicar para esos trabajos.

Bijou Phillips está dando pistas de que su divorcio con Danny Masterson es una cosa más legal, que personal, ya que todavía la hemos visto luciendo su anillo de bodas.

Este martes en Los Olivos, California, Bijou todavía llevaba su roca en el dedo, al menos cuando la vimos salir de su oficina de bienes raíces, un día después de presentar los papeles para iniciar el proceso de divorcio.

Obviamente es interesante que lleve su anillo un día después de acabar con su matrimonio de casi 12 años, y alimenta la especulación de que la separación es solo estratégica.

Por cierto, Los Olivos se encuentra en el Valle de Santa Ynez, en California Central, donde Bijou y Danny poseen una casa y tierras de cultivo.

Como informamos, Bijou escribió una carta de apoyo a su marido hace solo unas semanas, antes de que este recibiera su sentencia, en la que suplicaba al juez que le diera una sentencia leve, diciendo que es un padre protector, que siempre ha cuidado de los demás.

También se ha informado que Bijou estuvo llorando en la sala del tribunal cuando Masterson fue declarado culpable, por lo que su cambio de opinión y presentación de la demanda de divorcio solo 2 semanas más tarde fue un shock, al menos a nivel personal.

Adam "Pacman" Jones is trying to turn his most recent run-in with the law into some clicks for his new music ... using the police video of his arrest earlier this month to promote his latest rap song.

The 39-year-old posted some of the footage on his Instagram page on Wednesday ... showing him yelling at an officer after he was taken into custody at Northern Kentucky International Airport on Sept. 11.

In the clip, you can see the ex-NFL star in the back of a police cruiser ... loudly questioning a cop about why he was being arrested after he said all he did was complain to airline employees about a faulty charging port on his plane.

"Bro, I'm going to jail for being on the plane?!" Jones said. "Bro, I didn't even yell at nobody!"

Jones' video then transitioned into a snippet of his new rap song.

"Its always two sides of the story …….," Jones captioned the vid. "👂🏾👂🏾👂🏾new music. Ep coming."

Shannon Beador was allegedly pretty boozed up ahead of her car crash and DUI arrest -- we're told she was at a nearby bar, complaining about a certain former 'RHOC' star.

A witness tells TMZ ... Shannon was with her pal and business partner, Steve Muller, at "A Restaurant" -- that's the real name -- in Newport Beach, CA on Saturday night. FYI, the spot is about half a mile from where she crashed her car later in the night.

We're told Shannon appeared tipsy while hanging at the bar the entire time, but it's unclear exactly what she was sippin' on. As one witness put it ... she was loud and boisterous through the night, with her arms flailing in the air.

A fan even snapped a pic with the reality star as the night went on.

We're told Shannon was overheard at one point complaining about former 'Housewives' star Alexis Bellino, who was also in the restaurant -- although, that allegedly didn't stop Shannon from bitching about her to other people nearby, with real animosity in the air.

When reached for comment, Alexis told TMZ ... "When my girlfriends and I arrived for a fun night out together, it was soon brought to my attention that Shannon was also at the same restaurant. Shannon and I did not interact that night, but it greatly saddens me to learn that she may harbor negative feelings or resentment toward me, as I was not involved in Jim Bellino's lawsuit against Shannon. From one single mother to another, I wish Shannon nothing but the best as I know she is facing trying times ahead."

In case you didn't know, Alexis is referring to her ex-husband, Jim, who filed a million-dollar defamation lawsuit against Shannon and Tamra Judge in 2018, claiming they talked smack about his business on a podcast.

Don't forget, Shannon's night at the bar came hours before video showed her car slamming into the side of a home ... leading up to her arrest for DUI and hit-and-run.

Joe Exotic and his fiancé, Seth Posey, have called it quits ... telling us the decision was mutual.

The 'Tiger King' recently sent us a letter, saying he just wasn't getting enough support from Seth to help him get sprung from prison, while also claiming Seth could no longer take the public pressure of dating such a famous figure.

In the one-page letter, Joe gave Seth props for speaking with him by phone for the last 2 years and helping him "mentally fight cancer." Joe also wished Seth and his "amazing" mom all the best in the future.

But, Joe had one more surprise, teasing that he has a new beau ... "Someone older, much more mature and supportive will be a huge part of my life soon."

As you know ... Joe has been a dude magnet in federal prison ever since he was convicted in 2020 for a murder-for-hire scheme and sentenced to 22 years.

After his split from Dillon Passage in 2021, Joe held an online 'Bachelor King' competition, accepting applications to be his new boyfriend. Seth applied and became the lucky winner, but the two broke up and then got back together. In between, Joe briefly dated fellow inmate John Graham, who cut off the relationship after he was released from prison.

Then there's Joe's very public battle with prostate cancer, which has complicated matters. As we reported in February ... Joe didn't think he had much time left on this Earth so he signed a will, leaving everything he had to Seth.
