Fights & Feuds

Young Thug is drawing his allegiances in the sand as he readies his comeback album from prison ... Drake and Lil Baby are cool and Kendrick Lamar and Gunna are NOT.

Thug recently sat with GQ to chat about a handful of topics and while discussing Atlanta's Hip Hop pedigree over the years, Thug gave props to Future, 21 Savage, Lil Baby, Migos, T.I., André 3000, Gucci Mane -- in addition to himself -- as the musical leaders of the city.

Kendrick Lamar chided Drake on his blockbuster diss anthem "Not Like Us" for heavily collaborating with most of those guys, including Thug, but the Young Stoner Life boss says he is confused about it all and gave K. Dot no credit -- he doubled down as a Drake fan!!!

Justin Bieber's war with the paparazzi is escalating ... the pop star got into a tense standoff with photogs as both sides turned their cameras on each other.

The Biebs shared all the drama on Instagram Thursday night, posting a video he shot of the shutterbugs swarming him with their flashing cams.

In the video, Bieber is never seen in frame as he shoots video of the paps while he and wife Hailey are leaving a location and being led to a parked SUV.

Justin Bieber is leaving Drew House behind and starting a new venture because he believes his fashion brand no longer represents him ... but sources connected to the company are calling BS on his claims.

Sources connected to Justin tell TMZ … Justin felt Drew House was no longer his and he wanted to distance himself from ex-manager Scooter Braun, who was very much involved in the company. The decision didn't happen overnight ... we're told there was a falling out at Drew House ... the result of some disagreements among the board of directors.

Justin, Scooter, Drew House co-founder Ryan Good, Churchome Pastor Judah Smith and David Bolno were all on the board ... but our Justin sources say trouble started in 2023, when Bolno was mentioned in news reports as a person of interest in the death of aspiring singer Laura Lozano. David was later cleared by police.

One of Justin Bieber's closest associates is taking a break from the singer ... and it's because of Justin's pastor Judah Smith.

Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ ... Ryan Good, Justin's former road manager and the creative director at JB's fashion brand Drew House, hasn't spoken to Justin in over a year.

We're told Ryan and Justin haven't talked since Ryan left Churchome in Beverly Hills ... it's the church Bieber still belongs to, and where Judah serves as pastor.

Charlie Sheen is playing family man in a rare public appearance ... breaking bread with his famous father and brothers, plus one of his sons, amid some ongoing drama with his daughter Sami.

The actor headed out for a family dinner Friday in Westlake Village in the L.A. area ... accompanied by his pops, Martin Sheen, his brothers Emilio, Ramon and Renee Esteves, and one of his twin boys.

Noticeably absent was Charlie and Denise Richards' daughter Sami ... who recently said she would rather do anything than hang out with her dad.

George Clooney is staying cool after Trump labeled him a "second-rate movie star" and "failed political pundit" -- and let’s just say, the shade didn’t exactly rattle his espresso.

The actor was chatting it up with Gayle King on "CBS Mornings" and had a laugh about the movie star jab, even joking it might be true -- no biggie. But, when it came to Trump’s political dig, Clooney didn’t hold back, delivering a direct and unapologetic response.

George made it crystal clear he doesn't give a flying flip about Trump’s opinion, saying it's not his job to please the president, 'cause his real job is to speak the truth every chance he gets.

10:55 AM PT -- Ely Murray-Quick, the man seen in the viral back-and-forth video with South Carolina Congresswoman Nancy Mace, posted a statement on Facebook Monday about the incident, directed at Mace herself. He says, in part ...

"If Nancy Mace invested even half as much effort into crafting actual policy or advocating for the people of South Carolina as she does posting about my outfits and spinning dramatics about a two-second public interaction, maybe — just maybe — her district wouldn’t be clinging to the bottom rung of national rankings in education, infrastructure, and healthcare access. But alas, we get performative outrage, keyboard crusades, and a woman who clings to victimhood like it’s the last microphone on Fox News."

Congresswoman Nancy Mace isn’t backing down -- in fact, she’s doubling down on an argument that went viral this weekend, even as the internet’s still split on who really started the drama.

Mace kicked off the week swinging, posting on X -- "Good morning to everyone except men who wear daisy dukes" -- a clear jab at the guy she clashed with in that viral clip, who she flamed not just for his tiny short-shorts, but for browsing in a makeup store too.

Nancy seemed to be on a bit of a press tour, hyping up her upcoming 77 WABC radio interview on X -- teasing she'd be talking "daisy dukes and lunatics who get in the faces of conservatives." She posted on her personal account, not her official one. Should be noted ... the man in question was not wearing denim cut-offs, just saying.

Tokyo Toni thought it would be a good idea to invite a stray fan to live with her ... an idea that exploded in her face when the two women began throwing blows!!!

On Tuesday, Tokyo let fans into her turmoil for the past 6 weeks since she opened her heart and the doors to her home.

Tokyo says the woman posed as a fan -- and as a music producer who was down and out and needed to get back on her feet.

Drake and Adin Ross spent Sunday creating competition for Coachella online viewers with a stream of their own ... sprinkling shade and money along the way!!!

Although his most recent PartyNextDoor joint project is still doing numbers, Drake revealed to Adin he's back in the solo seat working on a new album of his own.

"$ome $exy $ongs 4 U" was dedicated to the ladies but light on his thoughts regarding his beef with Kendrick Lamar ... and fans are still demanding they hear his side of the story.

Chase DeMoor is adamant his direct message conversation with Molly-Mae Hague was real ... and he's insisting, too, that he's going to whoop all of the Fury brothers' asses soon!

The reality TV star/boxer chopped it up with TMZ Sports out at LAX this week ... and in the process of flexing his confidence, he almost assuredly reignited a beef with the Fury family.

DeMoor, of course, had previously been feuding with the Furys ... as he talked a whole lot of smack about the boxing fam in the leadup to his scheduled bout with Roman Fury. Some of his jabs included a screenshot of an alleged flirtatious Instagram convo he had with Molly-Mae, the mother of Tommy Fury's child.

Things are getting weird and intense in the Wendy Williams guardianship war ... multiple sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ, during a hearing this week, the judge told Wendy, she has no hope of restarting her career.

It's pretty outrageous ... Wendy showed up in court Thursday and appeared before Judge Lisa Sokoloff. Our sources tell TMZ, the judge railed on Wendy's niece, Alex Finnie, accusing her of leaking information to the media and threatening her with sanctions for future conduct.

The judge wasn't finished. We're told she attacked Wendy's family, essentially saying they were no good.

Tyreek Hill's wife's mom dialed 911 on Monday to report the domestic dispute involving the NFL superstar and her daughter ... and in audio of the call, she can be heard telling dispatch she's "so scared."

Alesia Vaccaro placed the call at around 2 PM, according to a Sunny Isles Police Department incident report ... after Hill had gotten irritated with his partner, Keeta, inside their 35th-floor residence over a comment she had made about his parenting ability.

In the call -- which was first obtained by Andy Slater -- Alesia can be heard seemingly arguing with Hill and Keeta ... before turning her attention toward the dispatcher and saying, "they're blaming me for calling the police."

Kyle Richards and Teddi Mellencamp’s peaceful sidewalk stroll went from zero to 60 when they found themselves in a tense showdown with another woman.

It’s on video -- Kyle confronts this woman in Encino on Wednesday after seeing her acting aggressively towards her dogs. But the woman loses it real quick, yanking off her scarf, tossing it to the ground like it’s go-time, and heading straight for Kyle, ready to throw down.

It’s hard to tell if the woman was definitely planning on getting physical or just getting up close and personal with some fighting words, but she was definitely coming for Kyle. Luckily, Teddi was as cool as a cucumber, standing in the middle and blocking her from getting near her pal.

The tables have turned -- years after "Black-ish" creator Kenya Barris filed a restraining order against his own sister ... she has filed her own against him.

Colette Barris filed new legal docs through her attorney, Ariel Mitchell, in Los Angeles on Tuesday ... asking a judge to block Kenya from directly or indirectly contacting their 83-year-old mother, Ernestine Barris, about the ongoing legal issue between the siblings.

In the docs, obtained by TMZ, Colette claims Kenya is attempting to influence Ernestine to testify falsely against her in court, and is "manipulating and intimidating" her over her "refusal to provide false testimony" and desire to remain neutral in the dispute between her son and daughter.

The Cyrus fam's back to their groove, 'cause Miley Cyrus' mom Tish and sister Noah just dropped a super fun vid, busting moves and flashing grins like there was never any supposed beef between them.

Noah posted a TikTok clip Sunday showing her and Tish vibing to "Pop Muzik" by M, with her caption, "Mommyyy. Guess who's replacing Brandi @Sorry We're Cyrus" -- jokingly hinting she's stepping in to cohost her mom's podcast with her.

As we spilled over a year ago, the rumor mill was buzzing with accusations that Tish swiped her now-hubby, Dominic Purcell, right from under Noah's nose.

Kanye West is keeping the shock train rolling -- he's just reignited his beef with Taylor Swift, claiming she’s one of the key reasons he hasn’t ever performed at the Super Bowl.

In a since-deleted X post, Kanye vented, "I never was allowed to do the Super Bowl because of three moments. George Bush don’t care about Black people. The Taylor Swift movement moment. Wearing a MAGA hat."

Ye and T-Swift's public clash has been around for ages ... everyone remembers that infamous MTV Video Music Awards 2009 moment when Kanye crashed her acceptance speech onstage, declaring the award should’ve gone to Beyoncé instead.
