Tyga's cruise ship performance ended with a bang, a full-on fight between his hype man, DJ S.B. and one of the guys from EDM trio Cash Cash -- what's up for debate is ... who started it.
Things went south early Saturday morning aboard the Inception at Sea cruise festival. Tyga started his set more than an hour late ... which eventually postponed Cash Cash, which was going on after him.
Sources close to Tyga tell TMZ ... when he wrapped up, the Cash Cash guys began unplugging S.B.'s gear. That sparked a verbal dispute, and then Jean Paul Makhlouf allegedly threw the first punch.
Now, the Cash Cash guys admit there was a verbal altercation, but claim Tyga's crew struck first. Makhlouf suffered a concussion, injured kidney and several bruises, according to his rep. Cash Cash was unable to perform.
No one's talking lawsuit ... yet, anyway.
We're told Tyga had nothing to do with the fight, he was already offstage.

'Fast & Furious 8' Horse Killed By Flying 'Iceberg'
A horse went down like the Titanic near the "Fast 8" set in Iceland after gale force winds sent a fake iceberg flying into a paddock where the animal was grazing.
Local police tell us the horse, named Jupiter, had to be euthanized. Strong winds sent a portion of a plastic iceberg -- a set piece for the movie -- flying and it struck the horse, breaking its leg. Another horse was also injured but is expected to recover.
Neither was involved in the production -- just a case of wrong time and place.
We're told production called the horse owner and broke the news but said insurance would cover the cost of the horse and fence repair.
R.I.P. Jupiter.

A rep for Forever 21 tells TMZ it took immediate action to yank the shirt once the feedback came pouring in, and added ... "We sincerely apologize to anyone who was offended by the product."

Chris Brown It's War with Karrueche's Mgr ... He Broke Us Up!!
Chris Brown is still very bitter about his breakup with Karrueche Tran -- so much so, he's going to head-to-head with her manager Jacob York.
Brown started the beef when he saw a pic of one of Jacob's other clients wearing a Chris Brown tee. He reposted it with the caption, "@jacobyork fat ass is gonna have a speech for you" ... knowing Jacob's not a fan of his.
Jacob clapped back, "cocaine is a hell of a drug #davechappelle." Then Chris dropped a diss about Jacob's "commission money he get off da bitches he manage."
This has been simmering since Karrueche and Chris split -- a source close to Chris tells us CB thinks Jacob encouraged her to leave him. Of course, Jacob tells us that's absurd since Chris had a kid behind KT's back.He says, "I think [Chris] needs to keep me out of their personal life and take actions for what he did."
Karrueche finally sounded off too, saying to Chris ... "You're calling me a bitch but screaming my name in a song. Can all this petty s**t stop ... I'm so over the drama."
Guessing the answer is no ... it won't stop.

Justin Bieber What Do You Mean 'Purose'?
Justin Bieber's world tour opener at KeyArena went off without a hitch, with one small exception -- the people who made some of his merch would've bombed in a 3rd grade spelling bee.
One of the t-shirts sold inside the concert had white lettering that read, "Many Are The Plans In A Person's Heart, But It Is God's Purose that Prevails." Ooops.
We found out Bitter Face Vending Inc. was hawking the gear ... but it was printed by a company called Bravado. One "Belieber" told us she dropped $45 for one, but didn't notice the error because of all the mayhem surrounding the booth.
She said she's looking to get refunded and she's in luck.
Bieber's people tell TMZ ... they're aware of the mistake and they've recalled all the bad tees, and anyone who bought one can exchange it for a corrected shrt.

Bone Thugs-N-Harmony Krayzie Cancels Tour ... Battling Potentially Fatal Disease
Bone Thugs-N-Harmony rapper Krayzie Bone was forced to postpone his tour because he's battling the same disease and flu like symptoms that killed comedian Bernie Mac.
Krayzie tells TMZ he suffers from sarcoidosis, an autoimmune disease that attacks the lungs. He thinks he came down with an intense case of pneumonia during a Canadian tour because his sarcoidosis meds weaken his immune system.
His doctors didn't want to take any chances, so they ordered Krayzie to cancel the rest of his gigs and head back to L.A. for treatment.
The rapper expects to make up the missed shows once he recovers.
Canada thank you for your support sorry I had to cut it short due to sickness but I will be back to make those dates up soon! Much love

Donald Trump Rally White Man Punches Black Protester ... Cops Make Arrest
A Donald Trump protester -- who happens to be black -- got knocked to his ass by a white Trump supporter, and now cops have arrested the attacker ... TMZ has learned.
The video from the Wednesday rally in Fayetteville, NC shows an unidentified supporter in a cowboy hat totally sucker punch a protester who was already being escorted out of the venue.
Officers, who observed the hit, reacted quickly, but slammed the protester down on the ground -- not the puncher.
We've learned police did not arrest the victim, but did kick him out of the event. As for the punching cowboy -- we've learned he's 78-year-old John McGraw, and he's currently in police custody. According to cops, McGraw voluntarily came in Thursday morning to be interviewed ... and that's when he was arrested.
We're told he's being booked for assault and disorderly conduct. He's scheduled to appear in court April 6.
This is what happens when you get "escorted" out of a Donald J. Trump rally....note to self, you have to see how the Cumberland County Sheriffs Dept does Keem Jones after a supporter punches him in the face...

Justin Bieber Drink and Ditch ... On Pricey Scotch Tab
Justin Bieber is not as smooth as Tennessee whiskey -- or scotch for that matter -- because he bailed on a $130 bar tab after a heated exchange that nearly turned into a bar brawl.
Justin kicked off his tour in Seattle Wednesday night, but on Sunday night he and 7 pals hit up The Whisky Bar and ordered a round of shots. Sources at the bar tell us they asked for a mid-range blend and got GlenDronach ... a 12-year-old single malt scotch, $15 per shot.
We're told the group went out for a smoke and never came back to pay the bill, but they were all caught on surveillance cams.
One member of JB's entourage tells us trouble started when a female fan wanted a pic, but was denied by one of Bieber's dancers. That's when a guy with her got pissed, and started yelling and making a scene. We're told Justin's group decided it was best to get outta Dodge before a fight started.
Our source says one of Justin's bodyguards was supposed to pay, but obviously didn't in the chaos. We're told they settled up with the bar Wednesday night.
Bottoms up.
Keyshia Cole Denies Egg-xacting Revenge Over Bow Wow Breakup
Bow Wow got the worst birthday present ever -- an egging, which his crew thinks came at the hands of his ex-girlfriend Keyshia Cole ... as breakup revenge.
Bow Wow tweeted early Wednesday that "one of his exes" egged two luxury cars parked outside his home -- fortunately for him, the culprit messed up and yolked his friend's rides. That friend posted pics of the damage and pointed the finger at Keyshia.
But Cole tells TMZ she had zero involvement in the incident, and called out Bow Wow on Twitter for "snitching."
Our sources tell us Bow Wow and his crew are adamant the egg hit was meant for Bow Wow, not his pal, and think Cole is retaliating against him for ending their relationship.
We're told Bow Wow -- who turns 29 today -- plans to prove it using the multiple security cameras that surround the scene of the crime.

Eagles Randy Meisner Cleared in Wife's Shooting Death
-
Exclusive Details
- 2.1K shares
Former Eagles member Randy Meisner has been cleared in the bizarre shooting death of his wife.
As we reported, Lana Meisner died Sunday night from a gunshot wound ... this after she had called 911 an hour and a half earlier to report domestic violence. She claimed Randy was waiving a BB gun.
LAPD detectives have concluded she accidentally shot herself. It seems weird, because police say she was "moving a rifle that was stored inside the closet" when it accidentally went off. It's a little odd as to why she would be "moving" a rifle less than 2 hours after calling 911, reporting domestic violence.
Law enforcement sources tell us the gun discharged inside the soft gun case, and the trajectory of the bullet was enough for cops to conclude Randy was not involved.
