Tekashi 6ix9ine is embracing his role as a rat ... or so it seems based on what he told Tory Lanez.

So, here's what went down ... Tory was hosting his Quarantine Radio Monday night on Instagram Live when, out of nowhere, you see Tekashi's IG handle pop up in the group chat. Tekashi typed, "lemme play this new s**t or ima snitch on u. you not even from America u from Canada."

Ya gotta watch Tory's reaction. It's pretty epic. Unclear if Tekashi actually has some new music he wants to show the masses, but now that he's on house arrest it's not so far fetched to think he's got something up his sleeve.

As for snitching on Tory ... it's unclear what about. Tory, btw, just last week had his Instagram Live session privileges restored by IG, which banned Tory from going Live after some nudity appeared in one of his sessions.

But no beef seems to be brewing between the rappers. Tekashi and Tory have some history ... good history. Tekashi's 2018 track "Kika" on the "Dummy Boy" album features Tory.

Again ... Tekashi just seems to be embracing the snitch role.

Diddy's virtual dance-a-thon for coronavirus relief is going swimmingly -- so much so, he ended up cutting a digital rug with his ex, Jennifer Lopez, and her current fiance, A-Rod.

The Bad Boy boss got his Team Love dance-a-thon fundraiser started on Sunday -- which is meant to raise money for healthcare workers on the front lines of the coronavirus fight -- and he hosted a slew of celebs who hopped on briefly and boogied with Sean.

One of the most notable cameos came from a former flame of Diddy's ... J Lo logged in at one point and danced with her old boyfriend, all while sitting in the company of her current boo, Alex. It made for a sweet moment -- no awkwardness that we can sense.

Jen tells Diddy that A-Rod is his biggest fan, and is apparently always asking her to slap some of Diddy's old hits, especially the ones with Mase on them. Well, Diddy obliged that fix right then and there in person, and all three of them started to get down. Eventually, it was just Diddy and J Lo dancing -- all with Alex's blessing, we have to assume.

Other stars who joined the dance-a-thon included LeBron James, DJ Khaled, Burna Boy, Megan Thee Stallion, Kelly Rowland, Winnie Harlow and lots of others who were in the giggin' mood.

Diddy put up all the deets for the fundraiser in an IG post, and he's got the link for donations up in his bio as well.

It's all for a great cause, and definitely a mood boost we could all use right now.

Tekashi 6ix9ine must be a fan of comedy ... and Shaggy, because he's basically singing "It Wasn't Me" in response to everyone calling him a snitch. C'mon, man.

The rapper changed his IG profile pic to a claymation version of himself in an orange prison jumpsuit, lounging on a rat trap while devouring a piece of cheese ... interpret that as you may.

Seems like he's just leaning into it, right? But, 6ix9ine also changed his bio line to a question with an obvious answer. He asks, "Why everybody callin me a snitch? I'm missin something...?"

C'mon, man.

We broke the story ... a judge released Tekashi from prison early after he made a plea to get out to avoid contracting the coronavirus. 6ix9ine's now under supervised release in-home incarceration, but is able to return to social media without restrictions.

The rapper's vowed to avoid starting beefs or trolling people with his regained online access, and so far ... he only seems to be trolling himself.

Joking about snitching might not get the best reception, though ... remember, several of 69's former fellow gang members are locked up because he ratted them out.

Tekashi's on federally supervised probation for the next 5 years ... and he's already giving the feds something to talk about.

Tekashi 6ix9ine is vowing to be on his best social media behavior now that he's outta prison ... his lawyers say the rapper won't start beefs or troll other artists, because the feds are watching!!!

Tekashi's attorney, Lance Lazzaro, tells TMZ ... 6ix9ine has no restrictions regarding his use of social media, despite being on federally supervised probation for the next 5 years.

While 69's probation officer will be monitoring everything Tekashi posts on social media, we're told 6ix9ine will not post anything inflammatory and will use his discretion and common sense when he uses social media.

As we first reported ... Tekashi was sprung from prison early after a judge signed off on a request to get out to avoid infection from the coronavirus. 6ix9ine is now on supervised release in-home incarceration, which isn't that much different from the way we're all living.

Tekashi was notorious for being an online troll before he got locked up, but his other attorney, Dawn Florio, tells TMZ ... 69 will not be trolling or starting beefs online, and he won't be promoting gang affiliation on social media either.

He made his return to Instagram Sunday, commenting on a story about snitching by saying, "Coming to the rescue." A clear jab at himself, but it likely wasn't received too well by those locked up because of Telashi's snitching.

Instead, we're told Tekashi will be using his social media platforms to promote his new music.

Sounds like social is not a top priority for Tekashi, at least for now ... we're told he just wants to spend quality time with his fam after a lengthy prison stint.

Tekashi 6ix9ine is back to his trolling ways since getting out of prison -- his first order of business ... letting L.A.'s Mayor know he's down to rat out quarantine breakers.

The rapper just commented on an IG post by TSR, which captured a photo/headline of Mayor Eric Garcetti telling Los Angelenos he would be willing to offer "rewards" to folks who snitch on businesses and others blatantly breaking the city-wide, stay-at-home order.

Tekashi's official two cents ... "Coming to the rescue." Short and sweet, but it speaks volumes (somewhat hilariously) for a number of reasons.

For starters, this appears to be 6ix9ine's first social media interaction that we've seen from his official account in a long time -- since November 2018, in fact, when he first got locked up on racketeering charges -- so it's noteworthy in that sense. Out of prison, back online.

Also, it's funny Tekashi's commenting on a timely topic -- namely, the coronavirus chaos happening all around us -- while also touching on something he knows all too well ... singing like a canary. Granted he's in NYC, not L.A. ... but it's the thought that counts.

Of course, if Tekashi was on the West Coast ... there'd be plenty of snitching he could do for Garcetti, as people continue to flock to public spaces and disregard social distancing -- like in Hermosa Beach this weekend, where people were out and about along trails there.

'Bachelor' Nation, meet your new fix -- a couple dudes in SF started their own quarantine dating show, but they've nixed the roses and replaced it with a way more precious item.

Two former Yelp employees in the Bay Area -- Tyler Cohen and Jimmy Parenteau -- already had a virtual dating show in the works prior to the coronavirus outbreak, but when it hit ... they pivoted and launched "Quarantined Bachelor."

It's exactly how it sounds ... a single gentleman is chosen as a bachelor, and he's introduced to a bunch of potential suitors via Zoom, who then go on individual dates with the fella and eventually ... get whittled down to a final 3 via elimination. Just like ABC's hit series.

Tyler and Jimmy told the SF Chronicle the big difference with their show -- besides no physical interaction -- is the rose ceremony ... which ditches the petals and replaces it with paper. Toilet paper, that is!!!

It also goes without saying, the stakes for 'QB' aren't as high ... no proposal, just an eventual in-person date.

The first season of 'Quarantined Bachelor' is actually already wrapped and completely up episode by episode on the show's official IG page. They also found their leading man -- his name is Richard Shall, and he seems like quite a catch.

Tiffany Haddish has the cure for your self-quarantine blues -- laughter ... specifically, about penis size!!! Hey, she says it's working for her.

Tiff made a surprise appearance on UMC.tv's #LaughsOnLockdown -- yes, that's where we are now ... stand-up comedy shows on Instagram live. Comedians Aida Rodriguez and Gary "G. Thang" Johnson were hosting this weekend when Tiffany jumped on to reveal what she's been up to in isolation.

We'll let her detail her, ummm ... activities, but let's just say it's all helped her appreciate male genitalia of all sizes.

By the way, Tiff and Aida go way back ... Rodriguez was featured on Haddish's 'They Ready' stand-up special on Netflix last year.

Have you seen those memes making fun of Jason Pierre-Paul's mangled hand? The ones where they compare him to a Ninja Turtle?

Yeah, JPP has seen 'em too ... and he's laughing all the way to the bank!

The Tampa Bay Bucs star finally decided to clap back at his hand-haters on Friday -- almost 5 years after a fireworks accident blew off parts of his right hand.

"For those all those memes out there with the ninja turtle hand lol. I'm still counting dem racks with it."

JPP ain't lyin' ... the 31-year-old just inked a 2-year, $25 MILLION contract to stay with the Bucs last week ... and has earned more than $75 million throughout his career.

But don't worry, the guy has a sense of humor ... and says he got a good laugh out of all the memes.

"I remember shiii was funny tho 😭😂😆🤣 never give up."

Tim Tebow has the cure for those coronavirus blues -- THREE INSANELY ADORABLE PUPPIES!!!!

Meet Paris, Chunk and Kobe ... the newest members of the Tebow family!!

The baseball stud and his new wife Demi-Leigh Tebow debuted their fur-babies on social media -- where they even started an IG page for the dogs called, "The Tebow Pack."

Yeah, you may think it's goofy, but they've already cracked 7,000 followers!!!

And, since we know you're thinking it ... no, we don't know if the dogs are rescues or from breeders. We're trying to get more info.

Based on their appearance, seems Kobe is a Golden Retriever. Chunk looks like a Bernese and Paris has all the markings of a Dalmatian.

Tebow LOVES dogs and was devastated when he had to put his beloved pet Bronco to sleep back in November saying it was "one of the toughest goodbyes."

As for Kobe, unclear if Tebow named the pup -- or if someone else came up with the monicker, but a cool Mamba tribute nonetheless.

Congrats!!

Hundreds of thousands of folks are outta work due to the coronavirus pandemic ... and even smoking hot girls who get paid for social media posts are feeling the pinch.

Abigail Ratchford, who has a legion of 9 million Instagram followers, tells TMZ ... her IG sales are grinding to a halt amid the outbreak, which is alarming considering she's used to making around $500,000 a year from sponsored IG posts endorsing products, paid shoutouts and merchandise.

AR says she still has monthly deals that require her to post and keep some cash flowing in, but she's gotta get creative to produce content because she can't call on makeup artists, hair stylists and photographers due to Cali's "Safer at Home" order. Now, she's a one-woman band.

There is a sliver of hope for the self-proclaimed "Queen of Curves" ... Abigail says other IG models are paying her for shoutouts to drive traffic to their pages, and it could continue because it's harder than ever to bring in new followers.

The outlook is much worse for Ella Rose and her 811,000 IG followers. Ella, who is Julian Edelman's baby mama, tells us she hasn't had any new ad inquiries since last week, and she's used to getting a few daily pitches from companies asking to pay her for tagged posts.

Ella says she had 2 shoots scheduled this week, but the photographers both canceled. Now, she's using a timer to shoot her own content.

Another IG model with over 2 million followers tells TMZ ... a lot of her prepaid posts are being put on ice, because some of the products were from China and the companies are worried about backlash and insensitivity surrounding COVID-19.

What's more, she says a lot of her long-term contracts are ending in the next couple weeks, and companies want to wait until April to renegotiate.

Desiree Schlotz, who has 423K IG followers, tells TMZ ... things are pretty tough right now, and it's hard to get content when you're limited to only shooting inside your house, though it's forcing her to be more creative and think outside the box.

Desiree says she's had brands back out of working with her because of the sensitive nature of the coronavirus climate, and other people are delaying payments or scrapping plans for paid posts because everyone is losing work.

Bottom line ... pretty much every Instagram model is as worried about the future as the typical American worker. Tough times, indeed.
