G. Dep Ex-Bad Boy Rapper ... Out of Prison After 13 Years

THE DEPUTY IS FREE

G. Dep -- one of Diddy's top rap lieutenants during his "Harlem Shake era" -- is now a free man after serving more than 13 years in prison ... walking out of the gates this morning.

Records from the New York State Department of Corrections and Community Supervision -- obtained by TMZ Hip Hop -- show Dep was released under the prison's Limited Credit Time Allowance program, which allows eligible inmates a six-month credit on their existing sentences.

Per court docs, the "Special Delivery" rapper -- who's now 49 -- will have to check in with his parole officer, refrain from possessing weapons and drugs without medical authorization, and will have to get permission to leave the State of New York ... pretty standard stuff for a newly released ex-con.

TMZ.com

Juve has all the reason to dust off his old hits for the new generation ... he broke the news to us he was planning on shooting music videos for his old "400 Degreez" records -- and recently made good on that promise by releasing a visual to the title track.

Might as well shoot the vid to "Ha (Remix)" next ...that one will bring Lil Wayne and B.G. back into the mix!!!

Diddy Alleged 'Mule' Arrested on Drug Charges ... During Run-In with Feds

Diddy's alleged "mule" -- as described in a recent lawsuit -- was arrested Monday while Diddy and his crew were stopped by federal law enforcement agents ... TMZ has confirmed.

According to the affidavit, obtained by TMZ, 25-year-old Brendan Paul was booked on two separate drug charges after the feds intercepted Diddy's plane at the Opa Locka Airport in Miami -- namely, one count of possession of suspected cocaine and another of possession of suspected marijuana candy ... both of which are felonies in Florida.

In the paperwork, officers claim that while they were working in conjunction with Homeland Security and Customs and Border Protection personnel ... they came across what they describe as the suspected drugs in Paul's travel bags, which they say he claimed.

Montell Jordan splits his talents between music and ministry, and the R&B vet got to combine both of his skills Sunday by officiating his good friend Young MC's wedding!!!

Sources involved in the ceremony tell TMZ Hip Hop the "Bust a Move" rapper married his longtime girlfriend Chantal at an intimate ceremony in Scottsdale, AZ ... surrounded by friends, family and fellow artists!!!

Round Of Applause

Montell gave attendees the standard wedding objection speech but managed to squeeze in some humor with a reference to his iconic hit "This Is How We Do It."

He and his wife Kristin are the lead pastors of their Master Peace Church in Georgia -- he's an O.G. mack when it comes to the pulpit.

We're told Tone Loc, C+C Music Factory's Freedom Williams, members of the band All-4-One, and several other artists were in attendance to support their longtime friend.

YMC and his "Bust A Move" groove had early '90s hip hop on lock, and even earned himself a Grammy for his classic record.

Travis Kelce Grabbing Slices w/ the Boys in CLE ... Taylor Totally Absent!!!

Travis Kelce's Saturday was truly for the boys ... 'cause he grabbed some pizza with his friends -- and Taylor Swift was nowhere to be seen.

The big Kansas City tight end hit Geraci's Slice Shop in downtown Cleveland yesterday, 87's old stomping grounds -- where the owners of the shop just had to take a pic of their native son.

The photo shows TK standing alongside an old-school payphone in the shop. The caption on the store's Instagram hypes up Travis while also begging him to bring T-Swift into the restaurant next time around.

Future & Metro Boomin Prodigy's Spicy Interview Heats Up Drake Beef On New Album

Future and Metro Boomin knew the late, great Prodigy of Mobb Deep wasn't the kinda guy to mince words -- so, they tossed some of his incredibly disrespectful audio to fuel their new album that slanders Drake and J. Cole.

The trap music masters sinisterly unleashed their "We Don't Trust You" album to the masses on Friday ... and Mobb fans will instantly recognize Prodigy's voice weaved in the tracks, smearing "corny rappers" along the way.

The audio actually comes from Prodigy's forgotten 2003 WorldStarHipHop interview where Joe Budden, Fat Joe, Cam'ron, Jim Jones, and Cassidy -- who were in the prime of their skills at the time -- all getting ethered by the "H.N.I.C." rapper.

Prodigy passed away in 2014, but the sting of his words are used for diabolical purposes on 'WDTY' ... Metro chops up the Prodigy rants on both the opening and closing of several tracks, eventually setting the stage for Kendrick Lamar to diss Drake and Cole as Future cosigned the calamity.

Early indicators say Future and Metro got a #1 album coming at the expense of Drake. We also reached out to Havoc for his thoughts on Prodigy being used as a prop for the beef.

Mobb Deep was really like that!!!

Candace Owens Fired from Daily Wire Over Alleged Antisemitism

Candace Owens was fired from her hosting job at the Daily Wire because her bosses were fed up with what they viewed as her repeated promotion of antisemitism ... TMZ has learned.

The conservative media company announced Friday morning that it was parting ways with Candace, and while no official reason was mentioned ... sources with direct knowledge tell us it was squarely over what the Daily Wire honchos saw as antisemitism, and the firing went down early this week.

03/08/24
TAKING A JAB
Fresh and Fit Podcast

Candace and fellow Daily Wire host Ben Shapiro have had a very public feud recently on social media over their opposing views on the Israel-Gaza conflict -- and we're told the last straw for the DW was her March 8 appearance on the "Fresh and Fit" podcast.

The hosts were talking to Candace about the rift with Ben, and every time Ben or his wife -- who is Israeli -- was mentioned the show dropped a cha-ching sound effect, an obvious nod to the antisemitic trope about Jews and money.

While Candace didn't say anything to besmirch Ben, we're told the feeling was she didn't say anything to defend him or call out the antisemitism. To be fair, it's unclear whether she heard that sound effect while recording the podcast.

We're told Daily Wire execs had previous conversations with Candace in an attempt to understand her position -- as they didn't want to censor her -- but they felt the podcast incident crossed the line.

As one source in the know put it, Candace often bragged about being one of the best communicators in media, so the DW execs felt "she knew what she was doing."

We're also told Shapiro was not involved in the decision to fire Candace, and he doesn't have any power to do so.

TRYING TO CHOOSE PEACE
The Breakfast Club

Candace addressed her feud with Ben when she was on "The Breakfast Club" Thursday, saying she was not anti-Israel or antisemitic ... she's simply against all forms of genocide. A source connected to Candace insists the same, telling us "She's obviously not an antisemite."

We've reached out to the Daily Wire and Candace's reps for comment ... but no word back yet.

Taylor & Travis Sleuths Suspect Bahamas Getaway ... Same Island as Joe?!?

Sleuths covering Taylor Swift's every move think she and Travis Kelce are on a getaway together -- and if they're at this specific spot ... she may be a couple's vacay repeater.

Here's the deal ... despite her best efforts, people are still tracking Taylor's private jets -- or trying to anyway -- and one particular group thinks they've got her latest flight pinned down ... specifically, for a trip down to the island of Eleuthera in the Bahamas.

Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.

This group of people who track jets suggest she may have been on a flight Sunday from L.A. to North Eleuthera -- and the reason they might be on to something  ... some purported pics of T-Swift and TK surfaced online Monday, and it appears to show them in a tropical setting.

More accurately, the photos published by Deuxmoi appear to show Taylor and Travis walking along a dock -- although the publication doesn't offer any details on where this might be.

Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.

Luckily for us, we've done some digging -- and we think we got it figured out ... 'cause the dock they're on looks awfully similar to one that's just a hop and skip away from the main Eleuthera island ... namely, one featured at the Valentines Resort & Marina at Harbour Island.

Take a close look for yourself -- it's hard to say for certain ... but on its face, some of the characteristics seem to line up in appearance. So yeah, it's possible this is where they're at.

If true -- and we're not 100% sure it is at this point, although there are signs it might be -- then this is really interesting ... 'cause Taylor vacationed with her ex, Joe Alwyn, in Eleuthera as well once upon a time. In fact, it looks like she may be doing some of the same stuff.

Remember, in 2022 ... Taylor and Joe also jetted down to the Bahamas -- and they were staying in Eleuthera as well back then ... in none other than an airstream trailer owned by Lenny Kravitz. No word on whether she's shacking up there again with Trav ... hopefully not.

What's interesting about this too ... the fact Joe was just in L.A. the other day, this while Travis and Taylor were in town. Seems to be a lot of flashbacks going on with her ex-BF.

FEELIN' DEJA VU
TMZ.com

One last thing that pretty much confirms these two are enjoying a little R&R -- this on the heels of his NFL season being over, and Taylor enjoying a break from her international tour.

Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ ... Taylor and Travis have had a vacation planned for a while -- although we didn't hear exactly where they were going. However, our sources say that after they went on this vacay -- which, for now, sure seems like it's happening right now -- they were due to come back to Los Angeles and continue hanging out/playing house.

Taylor and Travis have been shacking up together at her Bev Hills crib for the past couple weeks -- and while Taylor hasn't been spotted out ... Trav's been hitting the town a lot solo.

The guy's been cruising around with his buddies, and he even went to the Justin Timberlake show last week ahead of the debut of his new album ... where he got an *NSYNC reunion.

Anyhoo ... assuming these two are on the getaway we think they're on -- this would mark their first real trip together where it's completely non-work-related ... another step in their relationship ... and just more evidence that they're truly getting serious.

As for the Joe shadow hovering over the Bahamas ... hey, shake it off. New man, new memories! We've reached out to Taylor and Travis' camp ... so far, no word back.

Cara Delevingne Parents Reveal Cause of House Fire ... Say She's Devastated

She's Devastated
BACKGRID

Cara Delevingne's tragic house fire may have been electrical in origin ... at least that's what her mom and dad are saying -- who are out in the UK to support their daughter's play.

The model's parents, Charles and Pandora, got interviewed by a photog Friday in London -- where it seems the whole family's in town as Cara performs there at the Playhouse Theatre. They were asked if they knew how the fire started, and they said they did.

THE UNFORTUNATE SCENE
BACKGRID

Check it out ... Charles says a rogue powerline may be to blame after a "very windy" night in Southern California. He also says that it was an electrical fire that got out of control.

FWIW ... we're hearing from our law enforcement sources that an official cause still hasn't been attributed just yet -- and officials are still in the early stages of the investigation.

ABLAZE THROUGH THE NIGHT
Traffic News Los Angeles

BTW, despite reports suggesting this being investigated as arson -- our sources tell us that's not entirely accurate. While an arson unit is in the mix as they look into this -- we're told arson is not being seriously suspected. It's SOP to have arson looked into for a fire like this.

FILMING THE FIGHTERS
Instagram / @caradelevingne

We broke the story ... Cara's L.A.-area home caught ablaze in the early hours Friday -- prompting a massive turnout from the fire department, part of which was caught on video.

The situation almost became even more heartbreaking after Cara shared a photo of her two cats on Instagram, seemingly suggesting they may have perished in the flames.

Cara later clarified that her felines were fine, sharing the happy update with her Instagram followers. It's unclear if the cats were rescued by the firefighters, per se, but somebody obviously got them out safe and sound. Cara thanked firefighters regardless.

ACROSS THE GLOBE
BACKGRID

It seems that Charles and Pandora didn't get the news of her cats being okay at the time of this interview -- 'cause they say here that they were still missing as far as they knew ... but luckily, they've been located.

Pandora also shared some insight into Cara's heartbreak over the sad scene, explaining that her model daughter "had her whole life" in the torched residence -- and had apparently lost a lot of items in the fire. She also says Cara is devastated ... and understandably so.

The show must go on, though ... Cara still showed up to do her Friday night performance at the Playhouse Theatre -- and her parents were right there to support her.

Tough day for the Delevingnes, no doubt.

'Curb Your Enthusiasm' Susie Billboard Defaced ... Hit w/ Penises, Just Like in Show!!!

This is the definition of life imitating art, only here ... it's from Larry David's world.

Check out this defacement job that happened on a billboard on the corner of Centinela Ave. and Santa Monica Blvd. here in Los Angeles -- where an advertisement for Susie Essman's Caftan from "Curb Your Enthusiasm" went up sometime this past week in an homage to the show.

If you're unfamiliar, her Susie character from 'Curb' started her own business and threw up a billboard to advertise it -- which got vandalized on TV with people drawing penises around her face ... something that delighted LD.

As it turns out ... HBO commissioned an exact replica of this fake TV billboard to go up in real life as well, and to nobody's surprise -- it was also defaced, just like on 'CYE.'

Greene Graffitied
INDECLINE

If you're wondering who's responsible for the tag job ... we have an answer. There's an activist art collective called INDECLINE -- and they say they're the ones who pulled this off. We're told this went down early Friday morning ... and they even filmed themselves doing it.

The reason ... they say they were just fulfilling a wish from none other than 'Curb' star Jeff Garlin himself ... who responded to someone this week after the billboard went up and wrote, "Someone should put a d*** up there. Maybe two." Welp, that's exactly what INDECLINE did.

The collective tells TMZ, they give Larry a lot of credit for forming their sense of humor and sensibility ... so they feel they were paying homage to him by carrying out this stunt.

They add, "A few nights ago, we watched in awe as one of our favorite pastimes, 'billboard liberation, was incorporated into the latest episode. We received a flood of texts and DMs about the existence of the billboard in Los Angeles and even saw that Jeff Garland was on Instagram calling for it to be altered."

INDECLINE goes on ... "So, as a thank you to Larry David, for his contribution to the field of art imitating life, we give you our contribution to the practice of life imitating art."

The obvious question is ... are cops gonna look into this? We're told by law enforcement sources that, at this point, nobody has called in just yet to report a crime -- so as far as they're concerned ... there's not much to do about this for now.

BTW, these are the same guys that did the naked Trump statue years ago ... so there you go. They're known for stuff like this -- and they didn't disappoint here either.

Cue 'Frolic'!
