Floyd Mayweather Sips from Solid Gold Chalice ... While Drippin' In Diamonds

Published | Updated

Here's another gross display of wealth by Floyd Mayweather -- who's poor-shaming his followers by drinking out of a gold chalice while wearing a TON of diamond necklaces and bracelets.

Oh, he's also standing in a pile of money while wearing a Versace robe.

"Real Royalty," Floyd said ... "Everything I got on is real, even the cup I’m sipping out of is real gold and if you don’t like it... you’re a REAL HATER!"

"Now that’s some real sh*t."

Mayweather REALLY wants you to see how rich he is ... he posts stuff like this all the time, but it's still crazy.

Dude has reportedly made close to $1 BILLION from his pro fighting career.

Enjoy your morning coffee from your stupid, non-gold mug.

Marilyn Monroe & Joltin' Joe Japan Honeymoon ... Pics Going to the Highest Bidder!!!

Published | Updated

Marilyn Monroe and Joe DiMaggio's marriage only lasted 9 months, but the memories of their honeymoon live on ... and you can own the photos!!

Hollywood's "it" couple for a hot minute in the '50s eloped in San Fran in January 1954 and took a plane to Japan shortly afterward to celebrate ... but there was also some baseball business to handle.

Their photo album from the trip features several shots of the couple, but there's also a running storyline of the MLB legend -- who was a few years retired at the time -- and his old baseball buddy, Lefty O'Doul, trying to get baseball up and running in Japan.

Looks like Lefty didn't mind being the third wheel either.

All in all, there are 30 honeymoon pics in the velvet-bound album, with each photo measuring 7x9 inches or larger. It hits the auction block on February 22 at Heritage Auctions with a bid of $5,520 to kick things off, but it's expected to fetch over $10k.

Soulja Boy What's Gucci? Not Gucci I'm Totally Done with the Brand

CUTTING ALL TIES

12:40 PM PT -- Dapper Dan -- a Harlem-based fashion designer, who was recently at the center of a separate Gucci controversy -- says he is meeting with Gucci's CEO this week to discuss the company's blackface scandal. DD says there's no excuse for how Gucci's Balaclava knit top was greenlit, and he promises to hold "everyone accountable."

Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.

Dapper Dan is credited with turning Gucci into popular sportswear and streetwear for athletes and rappers. He's outfitted celebs like Run-DMC, Floyd Mayweather ... and even Beyonce has worn his designs. Gucci was accused of ripping him off in 2017, and after some backlash ... they partnered up with him.

Soulja Boy is kicking Gucci to the curb after its blackface scandal -- and considering how much he's repped 'em and spent on them ... this is really bad for business.

Young Drako was leaving Fendi in Bev Hills Saturday with Ray J and a posse of people behind him, when we asked him if he'd be disavowing the luxury fashion brand in the wake of their disastrous decision to hawk a sweater that greatly resembled blackface.

It's an easy choice for Soulja -- he says he's done with Gucci and is giving away all his Gucci gear ... which is kind of a big deal since he's usually a walking billboard for the company. Just last month, SB was wearing a very prominent Gucci headband during his viral 'Breakfast Club' interview ... and has been sporting the brand continuously for years now.

Here's what really sucks for Gucci ... Soulja says he's dropped upwards of a million-plus dollars on Gucci garments, so they're losing one of their best customers. Unless, of course, they do what Soulja's asking for here ... which will call for some serious $$$ to be handed out.

If that doesn't happen ... it sounds like there'll be a lot of less fortunate people who could be coming up on some new Gucci wear. Assuming they still want it at this point.

Drake Get In My Feelings ... By Getting in My Rhyme Book!!!

Published | Updated

Before there was Drake, there was Aubrey Graham -- who was hard at work putting pen to paper before he ever blew up as a rapper ... and now you can buy his old flows for tens of thousands.

A notebook owned by Drizzy between 2002 and 2005 is going up for sale through the memorabilia company Moments in Time -- and they're hawking this treasure for a hefty price tag of $32,500.

The notebook was found in a dumpster near Drake's grandpa's old furniture factory in Toronto, where Drake used to work. It also features his signature, so this thing's legit.

The price might sound steep, but trust us ... there's good content in here that's worth every penny. We're told this particular notebook features 20-25 pages of verses, full songs, and random musings by the hip-hop legend during his 'Degrassi' days.

In fact, there are tons of insights into how a young Champagne Papi viewed and dealt with women in those days. It's got lyrics like ...

Girls lie and you make it evident you affected

Up north / Drake is the president I’m respected

But I’m a liar due to the evidence you collected

From chicks in my crew / to chicks beside you

Cashiers at the drive through / them hoes lie too

Check it out ... it doesn't sound like a whole lot has changed in the ladies department. But, he's definitely gotten better at rhyming. That much is for sure.

Lamar Odom You Down With CBD?! ... Yeah, You Know Me!!!

Published | Updated

Lamar Odom is joining a TON of big athletes getting into the green industry -- he's launching his own line of CBD vape pens, TMZ Sports has learned.

The ex-NBA star credits marijuana and CBD for helping him recover from the 12 strokes and 6 heart attacks he suffered after his 2015 drug overdose in Nevada ... and feels other people can benefit too.

Hence the new Odom pen.

The marijuana/hemp biz is becoming hugely popular with celebrity investors -- big stars like Joe Montana, Al Harrington and Mike Tyson are making big moves in the space.

Odom clearly sees real opportunity and we're told he's already getting solid feedback resulting in huge pre-orders.

We're told the Odom vape pen -- released by Five Star Juice -- will be officially announced at the big Tobacco Plus Expo in Vegas next week ... and then it's on to the national market.

Kanye's G.O.O.D. Music Associate Malik Yusef Denies ID Theft ... I'm Not Scamming Anybody!!!

Published | Updated

Malik Yusef says he was doing work on Kanye West's behalf to arrange a New York Fashion Week show but it didn't work out ... but it's definitely not the shady scheme it's being made out to be.

We broke the story ... Kanye's G.O.O.D. Music associate is accused of forging the rapper's signature to strike a deal with Philipp Plein to stage a NYFW event with Ye performing, and then making off with at least $750,000.

Yusef strongly denies those allegations and tells us it was business as usual as he negotiated with Plein to get some "futuristic t-shirts" at Fashion Week. He claims Kanye was aware of the pending contract, but when it became clear Ye wasn't going to perform ... he let Plein know the deal was off.

Malik claims he didn't touch a dime of Plein's money and even sent it back to him. He's adamant he's not scamming anyone and points out he's been working with Kanye for years ... and they run a foundation together.

Yusef insists he's never taken anything from Kanye, adding ... "I barely take his f***in' advice."

On Twitter, he's also responded to a suggestion he might be getting set up, saying ... "Its actually less against me and more against @phillip_plein but I ain’t going either tho."

Sources close to Kanye tell us a different story, though ... saying Kanye never committed to anything and had no idea about the show Yusef was communicating to Plein about.

A rep for Kanye adds, "Malik Yusef is certainly in no position to negotiate a deal, receive money, or forge Kanye's signature or sign any contracts on his behalf."

Mac Miller Worth Millions When He Died

Published | Updated

Mac Miller was a very rich man when he died ... TMZ has learned.

According to new legal docs ... just a "portion" of the rapper's estate is worth more than $4.48 million. This amount is the sum of various checking, savings and money market accounts ... as well as 200 shares of Facebook stock worth more than $32k.

The docs point out Miller didn't own any property in California at the time of his death, but it's unclear if he owned real estate elsewhere. The $4.48 mil also doesn't include other potential property like cars, artwork or collectibles ... so it's possible he's worth a lot more.

We broke the story ... Miller died at his home in San Fernando Valley in September. The cause of his death was ruled an accidental overdose from a mix of fentanyl and cocaine.

As you know, Mac's been nominated for a Grammy posthumously, so if he wins Sunday night ... a Grammy Award can be added to his net worth.

21 Savage ICE Can't Touch His Millions ... In Deportation Case

Published | Updated

21 Savage is in the crosshairs of ICE for deportation, but even if that happens they're not gonna be able to touch the millions of dollars he's earned.

We've done our research, and the only way the feds can seize assets from someone who is in the country illegally is if the loot is ill-gotten ... as in earned through some illegal activity.

If the money is lawfully earned, despite illegal residency status, it cannot be seized.

As for how much money is on the line ... reports vary wildly. Some outlets claim 21 is worth $4 mil and others claim as much as $21 mil. Fact is ... most of these stories are just guesses, but it's a good bet 21 Savage's net worth is in the multi-millions.

As we reported, 21 remains in the custody of ICE after being arrested nearly a week ago, despite the fact people with illegal status who are not a threat to their community or a flight risk typically are bonded out pending a deportation hearing.

Published | Updated

Wiz Khalifa is looking to rent out one of his L.A. properties -- the same one that was broken into last year -- and you can live the Taylor Gang lifestyle if you've got 5 figures to burn every month.

We've learned the Pittsburgh rapper is listing his Bel-Air home for $16,000 a month ... so, you're going to have to work hard, play hard to live it up like Wiz.

As you can see, the space is pretty sweet ... the 3-story home has incredible views of the L.A. skyline and canyons, an infinity pool and spa, high ceilings and glass walls, 2 fireplaces and a recording studio.

Sounds like the perfect place to enjoy kush and orange juice. Just be sure you have enough furniture to fill out the place -- it's 8,970 square feet with 6 bedrooms and 7 baths.

Oh, and about that break-in ... as we reported, burglars hit Wiz's crib back in August, but a house sitter scared them off before they could ransack the place.

As for Wiz's new digs? TMZ broke the story ... he scooped up a super modern mansion in Encino for a cool $3.4 million.

Yeah, his old place is probably a better fit for ballers on a budget.

Kanye West Sued You Got Wrong Mom's OK To Use 'Ultralight' Prayer Audio!!!

Published | Updated

Kanye West had good intentions when he asked a mom for permission to sample a viral clip of her daughter praying -- the only problem is ... he asked the wrong mom, according to a lawsuit.

Andrew and Shirley Green say they are the legal guardians of the little girl, Natalie, whose voice you hear in the opening seconds of Kanye's track, "Ultralight Beam." The audio was taken from a viral video of Natalie excitedly reciting a prayer when she was 4.

However, in docs obtained by TMZ, the Greens say they adopted Natalie in December 2012 -- but Kanye's team reached out to Natalie's biological mom, Alice Johnson, to get permission to use Natalie's voice. The Greens say Alice has no legal right to give Kanye the green light.

Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.

What's more ... the Greens say Kanye's team was supposed to send a written license agreement and payment to Alice, but never did.

The Greens are suing Ye to get a slice of his profits from 'Ultralight' -- featured on his 'Life of Pablo' album -- and other damages.

We've reached out to Kanye's team for comment, so far no word back.

As you know ... his good buddy Kanye also hooked up with Adidas -- after Pusha, for the record -- and Ye famously said he's the "single highest paid person in footwear" ... claiming he's pulling in more cash than even Michael Jordan!

Pusha and Adidas started working together back in 2012, but the Grammy-nominated rap artist is gearing up to make an even bigger splash. Adidas says Pusha will be heavily involved with their EQT footwear series.

Sportscaster Warner Wolf Arrested For Defacing 'Plantation' Sign 'Let's Go to the Videotape!'

Published | Updated

Sports broadcasting legend Warner Wolf -- who coined the phrase, "Let's go to the videotape" -- was arrested in Florida after officials say he ripped the word, "Plantation," off a sign at a private community.

Long story short ... Wolf lives in a gated community called "Classics Plantation Estates" in Naples, Florida (about 60 miles from Miami) ... but he thinks the word, "plantation," is offensive and wanted it removed.

According to the police report, Wolf had lobbied the homeowners association to drop it for months -- but on Nov. 30, the 81-year-old finally took matters into his own hands.

Cops say Warner drove to the main community sign -- located in a fancy fountain -- and used a tool to remove the word himself.

Officials say they have video showing Wolf defacing the sign -- and after a lengthy investigation, he finally surrendered to police on Feb. 7.

Also, cops say Warner returned the letters from the sign to the community security guard.

Wolf was booked for causing criminal mischief that resulted in more than $1,000 in damage -- a felony. He was released on $5,000 bond.

So far, no comment from Warner.

Wolf is a sports broadcasting legend -- he worked for ABC Sports and called Monday Night Baseball, football and the Olympics. He also had a cameo in "Rocky IV."

'It' Star Wyatt Oleff Gets Huge Payday ... For Horror Sequel

Published | Updated

Wyatt Oleff isn't old enough to drive, but he can already afford any car he wants ... because we've learned the kid actor is raking in six figures for his next movie role.

Wyatt, who is playing young Stanley Uris in "It: Chapter Two," could make up to $500,000 for his work ... this according to Wyatt's minors contract, obtained by TMZ. That's a fat paycheck for anyone, but especially for a 15-year-old!

According to the docs, Wyatt is pocketing $150,000 in base pay, and has a chance to earn another $350k depending on how well the sequel does at the box office.

Of course, Wyatt will also get an on-screen credit during the movie's opening titles. Translation: the kid's a star, baby!

He's reprising the Stanley Uris role he played in the 2017 "It" reboot ... which, by the way, was a massive hit. It earned $327 million at the domestic box office, and $700 mil internationally.

Those numbers add up to the kid having a real good shot at his $350k worth of bonuses for the sequel.

Congrats, Wyatt. Don't ask Mom and Dad for allowance.

Floyd Mayweather UFC Would Give Me $1 Billion ... To Fight In Octagon

Published | Updated

Floyd Mayweather says he could get a 10-FIGURE CHECK from the UFC ... if he told Dana White he wanted a deal to fight in the Octagon right now.

Yeah ... that's $1 BILLION.

The legendary boxer made the revelation to Kevin Hart on the latest episode of "Cold As Balls" -- saying if he agreed to a contract with the fight company ... he'd get PAID.

"I can go get a deal right now from the UFC. Probably 3-fight, 4-fight, billion-dollar deal if that's what I wanted."

Of course, Floyd's flirted heavily with the idea in the past ... remember, he teased a possible MMA fight with Conor McGregor just last year -- even stepping into an actual cage!!!

For his part ... Dana admitted he did have LEGIT interest in inking the boxer to a fight deal -- and said they were actually in talks in December 2017.

So ... will it ever go down????

Doesn't seem like it ... Floyd says there's just no need for the cash right now, "I'mma be honest. My life is great. Smart investments. I can buy whatever I want to buy, every month."

Yeah, fine ... but you're really gonna shrug off a shot at $1 BILLION?!?! C'mon, man ...

Kanye West I.D. Stolen, Signature Forged In Fake NYFW Performance Contract

Published | Updated

Kanye West was a forgery victim and the cost is huge ... nearly $1 MILLION ... sources tell TMZ.

Sources close to the situation tell TMZ, a guy Ye knew secretly contacted Philipp Plein, who is staging a big New York Fashion Week event this coming Monday. The guy misrepresented himself to Plein as Kanye's rep and began negotiations for Kanye to perform ... at a STEEP price.

Plein apparently fell for it hook, line and sinker, and they made a deal wherein Kanye would supposedly pocket 7 figures and, in return, he would perform at the NYFW show.

It gets worse. We're told the guy forged Kanye's name on the contract and then had a $900,000 advance wired to an account ... which the guy promptly cleaned out.

Kanye's not performing at the show, and Plein is now out a pretty penny.

As for the guy who committed the alleged fraud ... we're told he's a former friend and associate of G.O.O.D. Music.

We have not been able to reach Plein for comment, but it's a good bet he'll take some sort of legal action.

Billy McFarland Nailed for $2.8 Mil in Fyre Fest Suit!!!

Published | Updated

8:53 AM PT -- Although Ja is a defendant in EHL's lawsuit ... he is NOT on the hook for the $3 mil. The judge only hit McFarland for failing to respond to the suit.

8:32 AM PT -- Ja Rule doesn't seem concerned. He tells us, "this is FAKE NEWS GUYS LOL."

Billy McFarland is gonna have to scrounge together about $3 mil to pay back an investment company that got screwed when Fyre Festival imploded ... TMZ has learned.

EHL Funding sued Ja Rule and Billy over $3 million they loaned the duo less than 3 weeks before Fyre Fest was supposed to go down in April 2017. As we all know now -- courtesy of the Netflix and Hulu documentaries -- McFarland was way over his head at that time and scrambling to get any and all financial support for the concert.

According to docs, EHL won a default judgment because Billy didn't respond to the lawsuit. McFarland's been a little busy -- he started serving a 6-year prison sentence for wire fraud last year.

The judge ordered him to fork over $2,891,600 ... plus 30 percent interest dating back to August 2017 ... and EHL's attorney fees -- which ya just know are gonna be enormous.

Big win for EHL ... on paper. Collecting from these guys might be tough.

Fun fact: McFarland is doing his time at NY's Otisville federal prison ... same place Mike "The Situation" Sorrentino is locked up. President Trump's ex-lawyer, Michael Cohen, will be there soon too!
