21 Savage MIA From Drake Performance In Canada ... Mystery Swirls

Published | Updated

UPDATE

8:47 AM PT -- Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ ... Canadian officials decided last minute 21 Savage could not enter the country though it’s unclear why.

21 Savage went MIA from his much-hyped performance with Drake in Canada after finally getting his Green Card -- and it's a big mystery why.

The rapper was supposed to perform with Drake at the Scotiabank Arena in Toronto Friday night, but Champagne Papi brought out Lil Baby instead.

WITHOUT A HITCH

The concert would have marked the first time 21 was legally permitted to travel outside the United States -- thanks to his shiny new Green Card. Unfortunately, that didn't happen, leaving everyone scratching their heads.

As we reported, Drake recently hinted in his rap song, "8AM in Charlotte," that 21 had finally overcome his immigration issues. He rapped, "Savage got a green card straight out of the consulate/Where I go, you go, brother, we Yugoslavian."

Back in 2019, 21 was taken into custody by immigration authorities in Georgia because he was actually a UK citizen -- living in the United States illegally on an expired visa. His case dragged on for years, and was further complicated by the fact he was caught with codeine and a handgun during the bust.

For months now, 21's been touring with Drake, but has never been able to hit locations outside the US -- most notably when Drake went to Vancouver and ushered Travis Scott onto the stage.

21 Savage Deja Estados Unidos por primera vez en años... Se une a Drake en Toronto

Published | Updated

21 Savage tiene su Green Card y finalmente está haciendo uso de ella, porque según ha indagado TMZ, se uniría a Drake este fin de semana en Toronto.

Fuentes con conocimiento directo le dicen a TMZ que 21 y su equipo estarán en "The 6" el viernes y sábado por la noche para las paradas en Toronto de la gira "It's All a Blur". Es la primera vez en años que 21 puede salir legalmente de Estados Unidos.

Drake lanzó su esperado álbum "For All The Dogs" el viernes e insinuó que 21 finalmente había resuelto sus problemas de inmigración en la canción "8AM in Charlotte".

En ella Drake rapea: "Savage consiguió una tarjeta verde directamente del consulado / Donde yo voy, tú vas, hermano, somos yugoslavos".

Fue en 2019 cuando 21 fue detenido por el ICE (el Servicio de Control de Inmigración y Aduanas de Estados Unidos). En ese entonces nos enteramos de que 21 era en realidad del Reino Unido, y que había estado viviendo ilegalmente en los Estados Unidos con una visa expirada. El caso se prolongó durante años y se complicó aún más por el hecho de que fue atrapado con codeína y una pistola durante la redada.

Por supuesto, 21 ha estado de gira con Drake desde hace meses, pero nunca había podido ir a lugares fuera de Estados Unidos. De hecho, cuando Drake fue a Vancouver decidió llevar consigo a Travis Scott en lugar de 21.

No está claro exactamente cuando se resolvieron los asuntos con el gobierno, pero hay un montón de fans en todo el mundo que no pueden esperar a verlo de vuelta en su ciudad.

21 Savage Leaves United States for First Time in Years ... Joins Drake in Toronto

Published | Updated

21 Savage has a Green Card and he's finally putting it to good use, joining Drake in Toronto to perform together ... TMZ has learned.

Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ 21 and his team will be in "The 6" Friday and Saturday night for the Toronto stops of the "It's All a Blur" tour. It's the first time in years 21 has legally been able to leave the United States.

Drake dropped his highly-anticipated "For All The Dogs" album Friday, and hinted 21 had finally cleared his immigration issues on the track "8AM in Charlotte."

Drake raps, "Savage got a green card straight out of the consulate/Where I go, you go, brother, we Yugoslavian."

It was back in 2019 when 21 was taken into custody by ICE, and we learned he was actually from the UK -- living in the United States illegally on an expired visa. The case dragged on for years, further complicated by the fact he was caught with codeine and a handgun during the ICE bust.

Of course, 21's been touring with Drake for months now but has never been able to hit locations outside the US -- most notably when Drake went to Vancouver and brought Travis Scott out in place of 21.

Unclear exactly when 21 got everything cleared up with the government, but there are plenty of his fans around the world who can't wait to see him back in their city.

KEEPIN' UP WITH SNOOP

Ed Sheeran's lightweight lungs were no match for Snoop Dogg when they smoked together ... in fact, the singer says he got so high the sesh made him temporarily go blind!!!

Ed says it was earlier this month when he found himself backstage with Snoop, his wife and Russell Crowe in Melbourne, Australia.

UNLIKELY TRIO

Ed admitted to Conan O'Brien on his "Needs a Friend" podcast that he isn't much of a smoker, but still lit up at the chance to say he "smoked with Snoop" when The Doggfather hit him with the puff, puff, pass.

The conversation got so good Ed says he continued to take pulls of the blunt until he looked up at Snoop and realized his vision had become blurred.

Of course, it's a well-known fact Snoop can smoke like a chimney at any given time ... so you can't really blame Ed for trying to keep up.

Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.

Shockingly though, Ed says Burna Boy is actually the biggest smoker he's encountered to date.

Siguiéndole el ritmo a Snoop

Los ligeros pulmones de Ed Sheeran no pudieron competir con los de Snoop Dogg cuando fumaron juntos recientemente... De hecho, el cantante dice que se drogó tanto mientras pasaban tiempo juntos, que se quedó temporalmente ciego.

Ed dice que todo ocurrió a principios de este mes cuando se encontró con Snoop, su esposa y Russell Crowe en el backstage de Melbourne, Australia.

Un encuentro improbable

Ed admitió a Conan O'Brien en su podcast "Needs a Friend" que no es un gran fumador, pero aun así encendió un cigarrillo para decir que había "fumado con Snoop".

La conversación se puso tan buena que Ed dice que siguió dando caladas al porro hasta que miró a Snoop y se dio cuenta de que se le había nublado la vista.

Por supuesto, es un hecho bien conocido que Snoop puede fumar como una chimenea, por lo que realmente no se puede culpar a Ed por tratar de seguirle el ritmo.

Aunque, sorprendentemente, Ed dice que Burna Boy es en realidad el mayor fumador que ha conocido hasta la fecha.

Beyoncé's 'Renaissance' Film Stretching With Blue Ivy, Taking Some Shots

Published | Updated

Beyoncé is full of inspiration, which she displayed in dramatic fashion in the trailer for her upcoming film documenting her "Renaissance" tour.

Bey's film, "Renaissance: A Film by Beyoncé," chronicles lots of behind-the-scenes action, and it shows the singer in some chill, fun, backstage moments.

Throughout the trailer, you see her getting some stretching in backstage with her 11-year-old daughter, Blue Ivy, while the little twins -- Rumi and Sir -- hung out with them.

Looks like Beyoncé was having a blast -- toasting the camera while knocking back a shot. Worth noting the rumors "Renaissance" was a booze-free tour, so it might not have been alcohol in that glass.

There's so much fans have to look forward to when the film comes out December 1st -- it's got everything from a beaming Jay-Z, crowds going nuts, and the Queen herself breaking down what this tour has meant to her.

As we reported, AMC will be taking the reigns for Bey's movie, playing in all of North America next month ... and this follows Taylor Swift's "Eras" tour flick spreading to a worldwide debut after tons of demand.

Taylor's film is also a partnership with AMC, so there's for sure a theme going on at that movie chain ... and obviously, a smart one.

We covered it all on the latest episode of The TMZ Podcast, available on all podcast platforms.

LA PELÍCULA "RENAISSANCE" DE BEYONCÉ TOMANDOSE ALGUNAS FOTOS

Published | Updated

Beyoncé está llena de inspiración y lo demuestra de forma espectacular en el tráiler de su próxima película que documenta su gira "Renaissance".

La película de Bey, "Renaissance: A Film by Beyoncé", muestra lo que ocurre entre bastidores y muestra a la cantante en algunos momentos de relajo y bastante divertidos al parecer.

A lo largo del tráiler se la ve haciendo algunos estiramientos entre bastidores con su hija de 11 años, Blue Ivy, mientras los pequeños gemelos —Rumi y Sir— pasan el rato con ellos.

Parece que Beyoncé se lo estaba pasando en grande, brindando en cámara mientras se tomaba algo. Vale la pena señalar los rumores sobre que "Renaissance" fue una gira sin alcohol, por lo que podría no haber sido el alcohol en ese vaso.

Los fans tienen muchas cosas interesantes que ver cuando la película se estrene el 1 de diciembre: desde un Jay-Z radiante, multitudes enloquecidas y la propia Reina explicando lo que esta gira ha significado para ella. Como ya informamos, AMC tomará las riendas de la película de Bey, que se estrenará en toda Norteamérica el mes que viene y esto sigue a la película de la gira "Eras" de Taylor Swift, que se estrena en todo el mundo tras una gran demanda.

La película de Taylor es también una asociación con AMC, por lo que es seguro que hay más ideas en marcha en esa cadena de cine y, obviamente, unas muy inteligentes.

Lo cubrimos todo en el último episodio de The TMZ Podcast, disponible en todas las plataformas de podcast.

Matt Riddle Ex-WWE Superstar Appeared To Be Drunk At Airport

Published | Updated
Matt Riddle 09/29/23
AIRPORT MENACE

Ex-WWE Superstar Matt Riddle seemingly had a few too many drinks during a plane delay earlier this month ... grabbing a microphone and shouting at fellow passengers -- and TMZ Sports has the video.

The incident went down at JFK Airport on September 9 ... the same day the two-time Raw Tag Team Champion accused a Port Authority police officer of sexual assault, which led to an investigation.

Our video shows what went down prior to the allegations.

A witness tells us their flight to Orlando was postponed multiple times, so Riddle and his friend waited it out by enjoying drinks at a nearby restaurant.

The witness says Riddle was becoming "incredibly obnoxious" throughout the delay ... being "extremely loud and rude."

Once it was almost time to board, the witness noticed Riddle walking around, yelling and asking when the plane would take off -- before going up to the gate's front desk and grabbing the mic.

In the video, Riddle -- who's holding a drink -- is heard asking fellow passengers if they're capable of flying the plane. It's all in a playful manner, but staffers were quick to put an end to it.

The passengers eventually got on the plane ... except Riddle, who was denied entry due to his state.

Our witness tells us he grew upset, asking "So are you telling me I'm not going home today?"

As we previously reported, cops responded to a "disorderly person" -- AKA Riddle -- but when they met with him at the terminal, he apologized for his behavior. Cops did not file a police report ... and Riddle was free to go.

Of course, Riddle then went to Instagram to accuse an officer of sexual assault and harassment ... but the post was later deleted. The investigation into his claims remains ongoing.

Riddle -- who has faced multiple issues outside the ring during his career -- announced his departure from WWE on September 22.

Matt Riddle de la WWE Ex súper estrella parecía estar borracho en el aeropuerto

Amenaza portuaria

La ex superestrella de la WWE, Matt Riddle aparentemente tomó unas copas de más durante el retraso de un avión a principios de este mes, pues agarró un micrófono y se puso a gritarle a los demás pasajeros, y TMZ Sports tiene el video.

El incidente ocurrió en el aeropuerto JFK el 9 de septiembre, el mismo día que el dos veces Raw Tag Team Champion acusara a un oficial de policía de la Autoridad Portuaria de asalto sexual, lo que llevó a una posterior investigación.

Nuestro video muestra lo que sucedió antes de las acusaciones.

Un testigo nos dice que su vuelo a Orlando se pospuso en varias ocasiones y que Riddle y su amigo decidieron pasar el rato tomando unas bebidas en un restaurante cercano.

El testigo dice que Riddle se volvió "increíblemente odioso" durante toda la demora del avión, siendo "extremadamente ruidoso y grosero".

Cuando ya era casi hora de embarcar, el testigo lo vio caminando, gritando y preguntando cuando despegaría el avión antes de ir a la recepción de la puerta y agarrar el micrófono.

En el video, se escucha a Riddle, quien tiene un trago en la mano, preguntar a los demás pasajeros si son capaces de pilotar el avión. Todo es en tono de juego, pero el personal se apresuró para ponerle fin.

Los pasajeros finalmente se subieron al avión, excepto Riddle, a quien se le negó la entrada debido a su estado.

Nuestro testigo nos dice que se enfadó y preguntó: "¿Me estás diciendo que no me voy a casa hoy?".

Como informamos anteriormente, los policías respondieron a una "persona desordenada", pero cuando se reunieron con él en el terminal, se disculpó por su comportamiento. Los policías no presentaron un informe policial y Riddle quedó libre de irse.

Por supuesto, luego acudió a su Instagram para acusar a un oficial de agresión sexual y acoso, pero el post fue borrado más tarde. La investigación sobre sus afirmaciones sigue en curso.

Riddle, que se ha enfrentado a múltiples problemas fuera del ring durante su carrera, anunció su salida de la WWE el 22 de septiembre.

Quando Rondo Prosecutors Want Him Banned ... You Keep Getting Shot At!!!

Published

Quando Rondo's presence is his community is apparently a cause for concern ... prosecutors want him banned from his hometown in Georgia because they say he's a target for violence.

TMZ Hip Hop obtained court docs in which prosecutors are asking to modify the Never Broke Again rapper's current bond conditions ... they want the judge to keep him out of Chatham County, Georgia pending his trial.

Quando currently resides in Midway, GA ... a town roughly 30 miles outside of Savannah and where they say doesn't have the same dangers for Quando in Chatham County, a more urban area.

On the flip side, prosecutors say Quando has been targeted in violent shooting attacks at least 3 times in urban settings, including a September 20 attack at a local barbershop where at least 2 people were shot and 30 shell casings were collected at the scene.

Officials note that Quando's bond was granted for him to continue his rap career -- but prosecutors say he was not performing or doing anything related to his music career "while loitering outside" at the time of the September shooting.

The docs also make mention of the August 2022 shooting when Quando's friend was killed in his presence.

The judge has yet to rule on the latest motion.

Green Bay Packers Fan Dumps Beer On Amon-Ra St. Brown ... During TD Celebration

Published

A Green Bay Packers fan was so annoyed with Amon-Ra St. Brown following his touchdown on Thursday night, he dumped his beer all over the Lions star's head.

The incident happened in the first quarter of Detroit's "Thursday Night Football" game against Green Bay ... when St. Brown hauled in a 24-yard TD -- and then headed for some front-row seats to celebrate with Lions fans.

The 23-year-old did his version of the Lambeau Leap -- jumping over a wall behind the end zone into the waiting arms of several people decked out in blue and silver -- and while he initially was having a good time, a Green Bay fan decided to ruin the moment.

You can see in a replay of the celly, the Packers fan reached out with his drink and poured it on St. Brown's helmet. Just seconds later, the wide receiver hopped down and rejoined his team.

It's unclear if the fan was punished for the act ... or if St. Brown even noticed amid all the chaos in the stands. After the game, though, he did joke about the celebration to reporters, saying, "I lost my Lambeau Leap virginity."

In the past, cops have investigated similar incidents at NFL stadiums -- you'll recall, in 2018, the Foxborough Police Dept. launched a probe into a fan after he was seen throwing beer on Tyreek Hill following a touchdown at Gillette Stadium.

No word yet if the Green Bay Police Dept. is involved in Thursday night's incident ... we've reached out to cops for comment, but haven't heard back.

As for the game, the Lions ended up destroying the Packers, 34-20 ... and St. Brown got the last laugh on at least one heckling fan, blowing a kiss to someone who was flipping him the bird.

Ice Cube Blaming N.W.A, Gangsta Rap For Hood Downfall Is Total BS!!!

Published

Ice Cube is chiming in on the ongoing debate about N.W.A's role in creating "destructive" conditions in Black neighborhoods ... and says it's a false narrative, because those conditions existed long before he started rapping.

The convo was recently sparked by "I Got It Made" rapper Special Ed on "Drink Champs," where he accused N.W.A of being single-handedly responsible for the crack epidemic -- and all the negative fallout surrounding it -- but Cube's dismissing the claim as total "bullshit."

N.W.A started making waves in the late '80s but Cube recalled the times before rap even started when neighborhoods were littered with pimps, playas, prostitutes and teenage pregnancies.

He also debunked rappers popularizing crack, pointing out it was called freebase back in the 70s and ran rampant in the hood a decade before crack sparked a national crisis.

It's kinda hard to question Cube's street knowledge ... it's well documented by his legendary hits.

Growing up in South Central, smack dab in the era, gave him the material he turned into N.W.A tracks. He didn't just make up the stuff from thin air!

Ed has maintained he loved and respected N.W.A but hasn't exactly found a lot of backing in his argument, especially with the West Coast OGs.

Both Dogg Pound rappers Kurupt and Daz Dillinger recently took Ed to task on an IG live and KNXG Crooked echoed everything Cube would come to say while speaking to TMZ Hip Hop on the subject.

Bam Margera Gets Britney Spears-Inspired Tat ... We've Been Through Similar Battles

Published | Updated

Bam Margera got some fresh, new ink while on the road to recovery, and this piece pays homage to Britney Spears ... someone with whom he says he has alarming similarities.

The former "Jackass" star hit up First Hand Tattoo in Pennsylvania and got the Brit-inspired tattoo, which reads, "Britney Spears ❤️ Oops they did it to me too!"

He says the meaning behind it is all about the "Florida shuffle" -- a phrase used to describe substance abusers with good health insurance in the Sunshine State. They're constantly sent to various rehab centers which repeatedly charge their insurance.

092723_bam_margera-kal
THEY DID IT TO ME TOO BRITNEY!!!

Bam says that describes him to a T, and points to Britney's time in her conservatorship as being painfully similar to what's been going down with him -- he's dragging his interventionalist for allegedly cashing in by keeping Bam in rehab.

Bam says he's done "the Guinness book of world records of longest Florida shuffle of nearly 2 years" ... which includes 10 back-to-back rehab stays that cost a total of $660,000.00.

He adds he's sick of the "controlling c***suckers that act like they care for your well-being when it's all about money."

THE BOYS ARE BACK

BTW, this isn't the first time he's compared himself to Britney -- he called himself "the Britney Spears of 'Jackass'" while working on standup material with Steve-O earlier this year.

BAM MARGERA SE HACE UN TATUAJE INSPIRADO EN BRITNEY SPEARS ... Hemos pasado por batallas similares

Published

Bam Margera se hizo un nuevo tatuaje mientras se recuperaba, rindiendo homenaje a Britney Spears, alguien con quien afirma que comparte algunas alarmantes similitudes.

La ex estrella de "Jackass" fue a First Hand Tattoo en Pennsylvania y se hizo un tatuaje inspirado en Brit que dice: "Britney Spears ❤️ ¡Uy, me lo hicieron a mí también!"

Dice que el significado detrás de todo esto es el "Florida shuffle", un término que se utiliza para describir a los adictos a sustancias que tienen un buen seguro de salud en el estado. Estos son enviados constantemente a diversos centros de rehabilitación que cobran repetidamente su seguro.

092723_bam_margera-kal
¡también me lo hicieron a mí!

Bam dice que eso lo describe perfectamente y señala que el tiempo que pasó Britney bajo tutela es dolorosamente parecido a lo que ha estado viviendo. Él está acusando a su intervencionista de supuestamente sacar provecho al mantenerlo en rehabilitación.

Bam dice que ha hecho "el libro Guinness de los récords mundiales por la más larga lista de internaciones en Florida en casi dos años", que incluyen diez estancias de rehabilitación consecutivas que costaron un total de 660.000 dólares.

Añade que está harto de los "hijos de puta controladores que actúan como si se preocuparan por su bienestar cuando todo es cuestión de dinero".
