Meek Mill I Wasn't Lyin' Drake Really Did Get Peed On!

Published | Updated

1:30 PM PST -- Sources close to both T.I. and Drake say the culprit was a heavily intoxicated friend of T.I.'s who peed himself. The pee unintentionally got on Drake's shoe and that's when he got pissed.

Meek Mill's random line at the end of his Drake diss song -- that Drake once got PEED ON -- is true.

The lyric in question came at the very end of "Wanna Know," where Meek said, "You let Tip homie piss on you in a movie theater n****, we ain’t forget."

Our sources say, it all went down in 2010, during a private screening of "Takers" on the Sony lot ... a movie in which Matt Dillon, Paul Walker, Chris Brown and T.I. all starred in.

Drake attended the screening and, 30 minutes in, jumped up screaming and ran out of the theater.

We're told a dispute erupted over who was sitting where ... apparently Drake and one of T.I.'s childhood friends got into it. The friend got pissed, and pissed on Drake.

We're told Drake ran out of the theater, screaming "motherf*****."

And sources told us the obvious ... intoxicants were involved.

A former Playboy model who used to strip on webcam claims she was invited into the cockpit of a jumbo jet filled with passengers and cavorted with the pilot for hours.

Chloe Khan, whose stage name is Chloe Mafia, says it happened 2 years ago but no one knew about it until now. She tells us she was about to board an international commercial flight from London to JFK when the pilot spotted her and "gave me the eye."

Chloe claims she was sitting in her seat with her friend, and after the plane reached cruising altitude a flight attendant came up to them and said the pilot wanted to see them in the cockpit. She says she brushed it off and stayed in her seat, but 10 minutes later one of the pilots came out and personally invited her and her friend in the cockpit.

Chloe says she was in the cockpit with her friend for hours. She says one of the pilots said if anyone complained about their presence it was tough luck because they make the rules.

She says one of the pilots said he met his wife by inviting her into the cockpit and they've been married for 20 years.

As crazy as the story sounds, there's video.

We tried contacting the airline ... so far no word back.

50 Cent My Pockets Are Still Deep And Full Of Money

Published | Updated

If you're wondering where the bankrupt 50 Cent keeps his money … look no further than his pockets.

We got photos of 50 hosting a party in Atlantic City last week … a few days before he filed for Chapter 11 … and it’s hard to ignore the giant wad tucked inside his (likely) expensive jeans.

Yes, that's a money sandwich of hundos he's flaunting. We're told it totaled around $5k and Fifty wanted EVERYONE to see it.

Truth is… Fifty’s gonna be just fine financially, despite owing $5 mil here and $17 mil there. Our sources tell us the recent bankruptcy filing is just a legal maneuver to reorganize his finances.

Bottom line: 50's still filthy rich.

He kept clowning his finances late Monday -- first, telling E! his bankruptcy is no biggie, and he's just like Donald Trump and Walt Disney.

Then, taking this pic with a random Smartcar. Caption: "Times are hard out here LMAO"
