Love And Hip Hop

Former NBA Star Dwight Howard says his wife is a master of lies and manipulation ... and alleges she tricked him into marriage with false claims about her fertility ... at least according to new legal docs obtained by TMZ.

Dwight filed court docs requesting a protective order against Amber -- also known by her stage name Amy Luciani -- claiming they have had a rocky relationship for years … which led to him filing for divorce.

He said Amber started a “crusade of lies and defamation” against him … costing him job opportunities. He said she is also spreading lies about him to his family, friends, and the mothers of his children.

"Love & Hip Hop: Miami" star Michael Blackson settled up with his close friend and baby mama Nadia Beddini and agreed to pay her thousands per month in child support ... TMZ has learned.

According to new legal docs, obtained by TMZ, Michael will pony up $4,500 per month in support for their nearly 1-year-old son, Kweku, and pay Nadia $5K for her lawyer fees for the case.

This is a custody settlement ... meaning Michael and Nadia agreed on all the terms, and the judge signed off on the deal.

Ray J, as you know, was recently on death's door with a bunch of serious health issues — but now the R&B singer is back and stronger than ever, training his ass off for his upcoming MMA fight against Supah Hot Fire.

TMZ obtained exclusive video of Ray getting into tip-top shape with his posse, which includes a couple of hot female influencers shaking their booties as Ray is pumping iron.

As you can see ... Ray is taking this Saturday's match up very seriously as he spars with a partner and practices various takedown maneuvers and even shows how he plans to choke out Supah Hot during their fight.

"Love & Hip Hop: Miami" star Nadia Beddini ain't happy Michael Blackson labeled her as his "side chick" last year ... arguing they were fully in a relationship -- Nick Cannon-style!

ICYMI ... a pregnant Nadia joined Michael on 'Love and Hip Hop' for its 7th season -- as did his then-fiancée, Rada Darling. Michael ended up fathering a child with both women in his life just months apart ... but he swore up and down Nadia was just a side piece. She has a very different story.

Nadia says she was "blindsided and offended" by Michael’s comments, insisting their relationship wasn’t casual. She claims they were friends for years before things turned romantic -- only after he pursued her. She says he agreed to have a baby with her, too ... and even sold her a dream of buying a house and starting a business togerher.

Nadia believed Rada knew about them the entire time and thought Michael wanted a setup like Nick Cannon’s -- with several baby mamas and children. Bottom line -- she was disheartened by how she was treated and portrayed on "Love & Hip Hop"

Chris Brown and Usher are about to have fans screaming "yeah" ... because they're teaming up for a new tour!

The chart-topping singers dropped the news on social media Friday, in a flashy announcement where they zip through city streets on motorcycles ... all while feral fans are freaking out about the joint venture.

The superstars are calling it the "R&B Tour" -- a double entendre for the artists' shared music genre as well as their last names -- but there's no word yet on what the dates and venues will be.

"The Jews said Hazel finna fall today" ... that's what Hazel-E told our photog when she tripped on her way out of a Kanye West concert.

We got the 'Love & Hip Hop' star on her way out of Kanye's show at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, CA, and she was giving Kanye a full-throated defense when she suddenly tripped in her heels.

Hazel caught herself and then cracked a joke about "the Jews" ... which came as she was smack in the middle of hyping Kanye up for bouncing back from multiple antisemitic controversies.

Kanye West just played his biggest show in years ... and it seems a lot of people have looked past his antisemitic meltdowns -- but Donnell Rawlings says there are definitely sides in that grace.

We caught up with the comic-actor at LAX on Thursday after the first of Ye's two sold-out shows at SoFi Stadium ... and asked if Kanye had been forgiven.

As you can see in the video ... DR is dead serious when he says Black people have forgiven Kanye ... but white people still hold a grudge -- that is, unless they want to make money off him by doing business -- then, it's all good.

Don't expect Tiny Harris' kids to be caught getting straddled by much older women if she's got anything to say about it ... because she says she wants them to date around their own age.

We caught up with the singer and mother-of-three in New York City Wednesday ... and we asked her how she feels about Beyoncé's nephew Julez getting a ride from reality star Tommie Lee -- who is two decades his senior.

Harris says it's a better question for Solange -- Julez's mom -- but she admits she'd want her own boys to date around their own age in Julez's situation ... an opinion she would certainly voice to them.

1:21 PM PT -- Alexis’ manager TC Copper tells us … "Thank you for reaching out with this alleged incident. At this time, we are focusing on resolving this situation privately and legally. 

Also, in the video footage Alexis was exiting the building when he called her a bitch and the person that was with the victim stopped anything from happening with him and Alexis."

"Love & Hip Hop" star Alexis Skyy is being sued by her former friend, who claims she jumped him in the lobby of his plush Atlanta apartment complex.

Here's the deal ... Anthony Gaskin -- a former associate of Skyy -- appeared to be captured on tape receiving an epic beatdown at his building back in October 2024, and he says Skyy and two others, Robmira Taylor and Robert Thorne, were the assailants.

Gaskin is now suing Skyy and her crew for the alleged attack, as well as the apartment complex. He claims the building had inadequate security and failed to protect him when Sky and the others were "lying in wait" for him in the lobby.

Bad Bunny is riding high after tearing up the Super Bowl stage earlier this month ... but he’s swapping it all for some peace and quiet, kicking back in Australia with girlfriend Gabriela Berlingeri.

The Puerto Rican hitmaker kept things low-key as the pair hit Tamarama Beach in Sydney, with Gabriela wasting zero time stripping down to a barely-there black bikini and heading straight for the water.

BB, meanwhile, played it cool -- and covered -- rocking a bright yellow unzipped hoodie, shorts and a cap, lingering on a towel like your average beachgoer while Gabriela took a dip.

And TBH, we get it. After the year he’s had -- and with his world tour gearing back up Down Under in just days -- the man’s probably savoring every ounce of normalcy he can get.

2026 is already popping off, and we’re calling it now -- "TMZ After Dark" is the hottest party in town, doubling the chaos this past weekend and going absolutely wild!

"Love Island" S7 stars Charlie Georgio and Austin Shepard ran Friday night, while "Love & Hip Hop"’s Nikki Mudarris held it down Saturday ... and both nights brought nonstop energy from start to finish.

The Love Islanders brought villa-level chaos Friday night ... kicking things off at The Burgundy Room before rolling into Saddle Ranch for surprise quesadillas and watermelon shots!

"Love & Hip Hop Atlanta" star Erica Breaux found herself behind bars in Georgia after she was caught with drugs ... in a stolen car!

A rep for Brookhaven PD tells TMZ ... Breaux, also known as rapper Erica Banks, was a passenger in a vehicle that was pulled over Monday in Brookhaven, GA, after a police officer noticed a tinted tag covering the license plate. In Georgia, it's against the law to have material affixed to a license plate that covers any portion of it.

The officer also noticed the vehicle had dealer plates, which should only be driven by a dealer employee and registered for sale. What's more, the officer ran the plates and learned the vehicle was marked as stolen from Atlanta.

Sukihana is urging Saweetie to come out of the closet ... and admit to being an elegant lady of the night so she can get more respect in the rap game!!!

The outspoken "Love & Hip Hop: Miami" star recently appeared on Justin Laboy's "Respectfully" podcast, where her brain sparked up on Saweetie after he asked Suki if she has a price tag -- on her poohnanny.

Sukihana admitted she no longer sells sex now that she's out of the hood ... but clarified she firmly believes that women who ask for money on the dresser and those who sleep with rich men after being bathed in the life of luxury -- are all birds of the same feather!!!

"Love & Hip Hop: Miami" star Sukihana -- AKA "Suki with the Good Coochie" -- apparently got some good d*** last night ... that's what she told us when we caught her at LAX in a wheelchair.

In the middle of a pretty wholesome conversation about her recent birthday, our photog just casually acknowledged the wheelchair Suki was sitting in.

Without hesitation, she blurted out, "I got f****d so hard last night. I'm not gonna lie, I got some good birthday d***, so I can't walk or nothing."
