Feuds

Kevin Federline says he has no respect for Britney Spears' third husband Sam Asghari ... and he's questioning what kind of man Sam is.

K-Fed fired back at Sam in an interview with ET's Kevin Frazier, saying ... "What kind of man gets himself in a situation like the one he got himself into with her?"

Kevin, Britney's second husband and the father of her two kids, is responding after Sam called him out as a "professional father" when one of our photogs asked him about Kevin's book.

Justin Baldoni's former agent Danny Greenberg is weighing in on the actor-director's ongoing drama with Blake Lively ... describing in a deposition why he compared the situation to extortion.

In a deposition transcript obtained by TMZ, Greenberg said the cumulative behavior and mounting pressure from Blake Lively that both the studio and Justin were managing felt like "extortion" to him ... that if Baldoni didn't give in to her demand to take over control of the project, he'd be sidelined.

As we've reported, Lively filed a lawsuit against Baldoni and his company, Wayfarer Studios, claiming he sexually harassed Lively during the production of their film "It Ends With Us" and alleging he spearheaded a smear campaign against her ... claims Baldoni has denied.

Cardi B spared no venom, toxins, or ether towards her opps with her explosive new album, "Am I The Drama?" -- she's lyrically kickin' ass and naming names!!!

The album took 7 years to drop, and Cardi doesn't hold back on her feelings about superstardom, her divorce with Offset, and pesky rap competition ... ESPECIALLY when it comes to rapper BIA.

Cardi and BIA have had their back-and-forth beef for years and on the track "Pretty & Petty," Cardi snipes the "Whole Lotta Money" rapper with an opening line that already lives in hip hop infamy ... "Name five BIA songs, gun pointin' to your head -- Bow, I'm dead."

Sure, Drake might've unfriended LeBron James and covered up a tattoo for supporting Kendrick Lamar during their rap beef, but the NBA superstar says he's still got love for his old pal Drizzy!

The Los Angeles Lakers great was asked about his relationship with Drake while on "360 With Speedy" ... after Bron attended Kendrick's Juneteenth "Pop Out" concert last year, and otherwise seemed to support K-Dot during the feud, which didn't sit well with Drake.

"I'll always wish him the best," James said on Thursday.

Drake snuck a subtle shot at Kai Cenat's hairline after the top Twitch streamer trashed his new song on his "Mafiathon 3" stream ... and Kai's demanding answers!!!

Kai's chat tipped him off that Drake had given his forehead and tattered braids the spotlight treatment via an unflattering photo wedged in between his latest photo dump from his adventures in France.

The international roasting caused Kai to sulk at his desk as the Undertaker's gong rang unrelentingly, and he eventually had to walk away from the computer.

Ray J and Zeus Network's Lemuel Plummer are sitting down a year after they fought each other -- and things almost got physical once again.

Check out the dramatic trailer for their recorded sit-down released by Lemuel ... the pair are immediately on edge as they discuss the near-brawl that occurred at a BET Awards after-party in June 2024.

There appears to be a mix of issues ... Ray J says his foe talked trash about his network -- he launched Tronix Network in March 2024 -- and the stars disagree about who swung first as tensions boiled over last year.

Drake hit Rick Ross with a zinger about having fake jewelry that flew over Bobbi Althoff’s head -- but Rozay caught it and is firing back by rubbing the battle with Kendrick Lamar in Drake’s face!!!

Ross carved out time in the airplane hangar before his flight to Dubai yesterday and chimed in on how Kendrick placed Drake across his lap and got to spankin’ those cheeks!!!

Drake had a slick segue about the MMG's boss' jewelry being fugazy when Bobbi was discussing “frozen rosé champagne” … their fallout feels permanent at this point.

Omar Gooding is taking his multi-dimensional beef with Cam'ron in stride ... this after the Harlem rapper had duped Omar into hopping on a plane from Cali to Miami to shoot a movie that didn't exist!!!

TMZ Hip Hop caught up with Omar with writer Nikki Turner, outside BOA Steakhouse in WeHo on Wednesday night, and the veteran actor couldn't help but to pat himself on the back for the well-received diss tracks he aimed at Killa Cam -- that went without a response!!!

Omar tells us it's a win-win situation -- after all, Cam did pay him $7,500 for the fake film, but is serious about launching his rap career and welcomes the newfound attention ... minus the hidden cameras in his dressing room.

Tucker Carlson is tripling down on his claim Pete Buttigieg isn't gay ... referring to him as "the fake gay guy" during his recent chat on his eponymous show.

Check out the clip ... Michael Knowles cracks up on Tucker's podcast when Tucker declares Buttigieg is not actually gay -- Tucker's proof being a gay producer on his show thinks Pete's straight.

Tucker accuses Buttigieg of trying to appeal to the Democratic base by masquerading as a gay man, adding ... "It's suffering for your art."

The Dallas Hip Hop scene has become the next region to explode -- especially with the current implosion of Atlanta -- just take it from rapper Montana 700.

TMZ Hip Hop caught up with Montana and Kocky out in NYC at their "Pray" video shoot, with additional support from "Million Dollaz Worth of Game" podcast co-host Wallo and up-and-coming Brooklyn rapper, Kocky Ka.

They don't care about anything that's going on in Atlanta and Young Thug ... this year's all about reclaiming their place in the rap game.

Fifth Harmony may "Never Be the Same" without Camila Cabello ... but she's all for their recent reunion!

CC showed her former bandmates Ally Brooke, Dinah Jane, Lauren Jauregui and Normani some love on social media following their surprise reunion at the Jonas Brothers concert over the weekend ... commenting 4 heart emojis under the video of their time onstage.

As you know, Camila was a founding member of the band after the girls were grouped together on "The X Factor" in 2012, but she left in December 2016 to pursue a solo career.

Speculation that Ryan Reynolds and Robert Downey Jr. had a massive blowup on the set of "Avengers: Doomsday" has spread like wildfire online ... but the rumors aren't just a load of crap -- there's no way it could have happened, TMZ has learned.

Here's the deal ... the internet subculture devoted to Marvel conjecture cooked up a story that there was a verbal fight on the set of 'Doomsday' between two mega stars ... and fingers were inexplicably pointed at RR and RDJ. Why them? No clue.

A source with direct knowledge tells TMZ … Ryan and Robert know each other, sure ... but here's the problem with the rumor -- they've never actually met in person!

Drake and Bobbi Althoff are hopping into bed together once again -- teasing a brand new interview from the viral podcaster after they had a major falling out 2 years ago.

Check out the clip ... the former pals walk hand-in-hand toward a bed surrounded by recording equipment to tease Bobbi's new "Not This Again" podcast -- which comes weeks after she announced the end of her OG "The Really Good Podcast."

Drake calls this interview "much more refined, poised and pleasant" before Bobbi cuts in to debate the "pleasant" part ... leading them to a back-and-forth about how to label the project.

Consequence recently crashed out on Pusha T at Hot 97 by exposing contradicting messages about his stance on Kanye West, and that appears to be just the tip of the iceberg because he's heading to the booth!!!

TMZ Hip Hop spotted Consequence in Manhattan and he wasted no time labeling the Clipse star "Pusha-TMZ" for speaking badly about his main man Ye.

We'll try not to be offended, but hey ... it's Queens all day, and Cons says he's not for play!

Jay-Z can add yet another Chatty Patty to his list to address when he releases new music ... Biggie's former business partner is holding him partially accountable for the downfall of Damon Dash!!!

Veteran music exec Lance "Un" Rivera recently sat down for a lengthy interview with "The Art of Dialogue," where he scolded Jay-Z for his intense separation from Dash after they built the Roc-A-Fella Records legacy that sparked his mega-stardom.

Un labels Jay's behavior "sucka s***" -- an absolute put-down from their era, but goes even further and speculates that The Notorious B.I.G. would never leave him hanging like Jay did Dame. Damn!!!

Fat Joe says Gunna's new album is causing him personal turmoil ... he loves the music but can't fully support the wave because he hates rats!!!

On the recent episode of his "Joe and Jada" podcast, the reigning birthday boy Bronx Don explained to Jadakiss that he stumbled onto Gunna's album during a long flight and enjoyed every second of it.

Joe was refraining from saying Gunna's name but Jadakiss busted him out and filled in the blanks ... it was pretty obvious Joe was detailing "The Last Wun" album, which currently sits at the top of the Billboard Rap Charts after dropping last week.
