CARTA CON LA FIRMA DE 14 presidentes a la venta ¡Récord Mundial Guinness!

Published

Una carta firmada por 14 presidentes de los EE.UU. sale a la venta por 6 cifras.

Es el único documento en el mundo con 14 firmas presidenciales y ha sido autografiado por prácticamente todos los presidentes desde Herbert Hoover, excepto John F. Kennedy y Joe Biden.

El pergamino presidencial va a la venta a través de "Moments In Time", con una etiqueta de precio de $175.000.

La historia detrás de la carta es bastante interesante, como se informó en Globe-News, todo comenzó en octubre de 1932 cuando un hombre de Texas llamado Richard C. Corbyn le escribió a Franklin D. Roosevelt acerca de una parada de campaña potencial en Arizona. Franklin le contestó firmando su autógrafo al pie de la carta.

Corbyn tenía 18 años cuando recibió la respuesta de Franklin por correo y 30 años más tarde, en 1962, se dio cuenta de que la carta tendría aún más valor si pudiera conseguir que otros presidentes dejaran su firma en el mismo trozo de papel... así que se dispuso a conseguir más firmas.

El segundo en firmar fue Dwight D. Eisenhower en 1962 y en 1963 la carta añadió las firmas de Harry S. Truman, Lyndon B. Johnson y Hoover.

Corbyn trató de conseguir el autógrafo de JFK, pero el asesinato de Kennedy descarriló esos planes. Pasaron doce años antes de poder conseguir otra firma. Logró que Gerald Ford firmara en 1975 mientras estaba en la oficina.

Jimmy Carter firmó en 1976; Richard Nixon firmó en 1978; Ronald Reagan firmó en 1980; George H. W. Bush firmó en 1988; Bill Clinton firmó en 1993 y George W. Bush firmó en 2002.

¡todos a bordo!

Barack Obama resultó ser un poco más difícil y le tomó a los Corbyns siete años para conseguir su firma. Finalmente, consiguieron su firma en noviembre de 2015.

Donald Trump es el último presidente en firmar la carta, dejando su marca en enero de 2020. Preciera que a los Corbyns no les importara tener a firma de Biden en lo absoluto.

Floyd Mayweather Plane Touches Down In Israel ... Full Of Supplies

DOING WHATEVER IT TAKES

Floyd Mayweather's jet just touched down in Israel, loaded with over 5,000 lbs. of supplies for Israeli civilians and military ... days after the legendary boxer pledged his support for the country in the wake of the Hamas attacks.

TMZ Sports was told Mayweather's jet landed in Israel early Sunday evening (local time) with over 100 boxes of necessary supplies. Late last week the plane was loaded floor to ceiling with boxes in Los Angeles, brought on the plane by volunteers, including Floyd's TMT bodyguards.

Mayweather was already one of the most vocal celebs in pledging support for Israel, but when it became clear there was a need for a plane to deliver supplies, we're told Floyd stepped up in a big way.

Floyd, working with his friend Jona Rechnitz, along with Maya Sinai and David and Gitel Rubin, sourced the jet and pilots (TBE's), and thousands of pounds of supplies, to fly across the world to Israel and deliver to the IDF and civilians.

Just getting there was a trek ... the plane went from L.A. to NYC to London and then finally Tel Aviv ... just miles from a war zone.

“David Rubin is the child of Holocaust survivors. He is so tuned in to do anything he can for the survival of the Jewish people. When I called Floyd and asked him if he would be willing to send his plane to Israel with necessary supplies for soldiers, he said, 'Of course. I got your back. I don’t care how much it costs. Make it happen,'” Rechnitz said of Floyd's willingness to help.

Floyd's actions shouldn't come as a surprise ... he immediately condemned last weekend's attacks, and has made it very clear where he stands.

"I stand with Israel and Jews all around the world. I condemn antisemitism at all cost. I stand for Peace. I stand for Human Rights! Terrorism Is Never The Answer!"

Note: Mayweather has started a fundraiser, selling custom TMT Israel hats ... with proceeds going to Leket, an Israeli food bank.

Subasta de 2Pac y Biggie ¡¡¡Raras fotos de prontuario y video de último concierto!!! Subasta millonaria

Published

Un par de fotos de prontuario nunca antes vistas de Tupac Shakur y El Notorio B.I.G. están por salir a subasta próximamente -- y décadas después de sus asesinatos, sus legados aún se cotizan en millones.

GottaHaveRockandRoll tiene todos los artículos para su próxima subasta -- que se llevará a cabo del 25 de oct. al 10 de nov. -- y TMZ Hip Hop se ha enterado de que también incluirá imágenes del último concierto de Biggie ... grabado el 26 de diciembre de 1996, durante el festival de Sting en Kingston, Jamaica.

El rapero de "One More Chance" interpretó en silla de ruedas con su pierna aún enyesada después de un accidente automovilístico en el que conducía Lil Cease -- y, trágicamente, sería su último concierto antes de ser asesinado el 9 de marzo de 1997.

La Internet lleva años difundiendo imágenes granuladas del evento, pero GHRock certifica que el video OG no ha sido difundido y el postor ganador lo obtendrá con todos los derechos reservados.

También obtendrán una copia del acuerdo firmado por Biggie con Sting para unirse al cartel de artistas.

selfie-tour-promo-still-4
¡¡¡SUBAN A BORDO!!!

La familia de Biggie, del lado de su madre, procede de Jamaica y el promotor de Sting, Isaiah Laing, recuerda que el legendario rapero inmediatamente pidió que le consiguieran "la buena hierba de la granja" y tuvo una estancia placentera en el famoso Hotel Jamaica Pegasus.

GHRock estima que las imágenes recaudarán entre 1 y 2 millones de dólares, ¡¡¡y esperan que las fotos de prontuario también atraigan una gran cantidad de billetes!!!

La foto de prontuario original de Tupac, tomada con una Polaroid, nunca se ha hecho pública y se estima que se pueda vender por entre 20 000 y 40 000 dólares. La foto de prontuario de Biggie viene acompañada de una firma de agradecimiento de la cárcel y se anticipa que atraiga un importe similar a la de Pac.

Un detective retirado de Las Vegas recientemente testificó ante un gran jurado que él piensa que los asesinatos de ambos raperos están vinculados a los mismos personajes -- una teoría que ha resurgido a raíz de que la policía arrestara recientemente a Duane "Keefe D" Davis por el asesinato de Pac.

La policía de Las Vegas cree haber atrapado al último sospechoso vivo del asesinato de 1996 ... haciendo que cualquier coleccionable de Tupac o B.I.G sea mucho más valioso.

2Pac & Biggie Auction Rare Mug Shots, Final Show Vid!!! Going for Millions at Auction

Published | Updated

A pair of never-before-seen mugshots of both Tupac Shakur and The Notorious B.I.G. are set to hit the auction block soon -- and decades after their murders, their legacies still translate into millions.

GottaHaveRockandRoll has all the goods for its upcoming auction -- to be held from Oct. 25 to Nov. 10 -- and TMZ Hip Hop has learned it will also include clear footage of Biggie's final performance ... recorded December 26, 1996, during the Sting festival in Kingston, Jamaica.

The "One More Chance" rapper performed in a wheelchair with his leg still in a cast after a car accident with Lil Cease behind the wheel -- and, tragically, it would be his last ever concert before he was murdered on March 9, 1997.

The internet has been touting grainy footage of the event for years but GHRock certifies the OG video has been unreleased, and the winning bidder will get it with a full copyright.

They'll also get a copy of the agreement Biggie signed with Sting to join the festival lineup.

Biggie's family, on his mother's side, hails from Jamaica and Sting promoter Isaiah Laing recalls the legendary rapper immediately asking to be hooked up with "the good ganja weed," and had a pleasant stay at the famed Jamaica Pegasus Hotel.

selfie-tour-promo-still-4
HOP ABOARD!!!

GHRock estimates the footage will net anywhere between $1 mil to $2 mil, and the mug shots are expected to attract a very large stack of Benjamins, too!!!

Tupac's OG mug shot taken with a Polaroid has never been released to the public, and is estimated to sell for $20k - $40K. Biggie's mug comes with a signed thank you note from jail, and is predicted to attract a similar amount as Pac's.

A retired Vegas detective recently testified before a grand jury that he believes both rapper's murders are linked to the same characters -- a theory that's resurfaced in the aftermath of cops recently arresting Duane "Keefe D" Davis for Pac's murder.

Las Vegas police feel they nabbed the last living suspect in the 1996 slaying ... making any collectibles from Tupac or B.I.G. that much more valuable.

Justin Bieber Gasta $5k en una obra de arte para Hailey ... Recrea su mensaje de amor

Published

Justin Bieber demuestra que el amor no ha muerto, ni siquiera en esta era moderna, ya que gastó una considerable suma en una obra de arte para su esposa, Hailey… ¡Y está basada en un mensaje que ella le envió!

Las dueñas de Idiot Box Art, Emily Bright y Tamara Martin, lo cuentan a TMZ… Justin las contactó el mes pasado para encargarles este regalo especial para su amor, aceptando pagar $5,000 por una representación ampliada de un mensaje que claramente ocupa un lugar especial en su corazón.

101223_justin_bieber_art_kal
Extrañándote

Nos dicen que Hailey le envió el mensaje a JB mientras estaba fuera, enumerando todas las cosas que extrañaba de su hombre -- el producto final se creó en acrílico y resina sobre una superficie de madera de 3' x 3'.

El equipo trabajó arduamente para que quedara perfecto, entregando esta genial obra en su casa el fin de semana pasado. Nos dicen que Justin quería sorprender a Hailey con la obra cuando ella regresara a casa directo de la semana de la moda de París.

Por cierto, esta no es la primera vez que Justin trabaja con Emily y Tamara, como hemos informado, el cantante renovó su mansión multimillonaria en 2019 con sus obras de arte, y el año siguiente adquirió una pieza en honor a Kobe Bryant.

Justin Bieber Drops $5K On Artwork For Hailey ... Recreates Her Lovey Text to Him

Published

Justin Bieber is proving love isn't dead, even in the modern age, because he dropped serious cash on a piece of art for his wife, Hailey ... and the piece is based on a text she sent him.

Idiot Box Art owners Emily Bright and Tamara Martin tell TMZ ... Justin hit them up last month to commission the special gift for his boo, agreeing to pay $5,000 for a blown-up representation of a text that clearly holds a special place in his heart.

MISSIN' YOU

We're told Hailey sent the message to JB while she was away, listing all the things she missed about her man -- the final product was made out of acrylic and resin on a 3' x 3' wood surface.

The team worked pretty hard to make it look just right, and they delivered the cool art to his home last weekend. We're told Justin wanted to surprise Hailey with the piece when she got back home from Paris Fashion Week.

BTW, this isn't Justin's first time working with Emily and Tamara -- as we reported, the singer spruced up his multi-million dollar pad in 2019 with their artwork, and he copped a piece that honored Kobe Bryant the following year.

LA EX DE ANTONIO BROWN AFIRMA QUE AB AÚN NO PAGA LA PENSIÓN ALIMENTICIA ... 'Quiero verlo arrestado'

Published | Updated

La madre de uno de los hijos de Antonio Brown está harta de la ex estrella de la NFL… y le ha revelado a TMZ Sports que aún evita los pagos de pensión alimenticia, y ahora busca que lo arresten por ello.

Wiltrice Jackson, quien dio a luz a la hija de Brown, Antanyiah, en 2008, habló con nosotros sobre su ex esta semana… Afirmando que le debe cerca de $31,000 dólares.

Y afirma que si no recibe el dinero lo más pronto posible… buscará que lo metan tras las rejas.

Por supuesto, la corte ya ha ordenado a la policía que arreste a Brown… después de que, en agosto, un juez dictaminara que se había saltado los pagos de pensión alimenticia. De acuerdo a los registros judiciales, desde que se emitió la orden no ha habido avances en el caso.

Fue la segunda vez en este año que un juez emite la orden contra Brown.

Jackson dice que, independientemente, todo esto la tiene harta… y ahora está a la espera de que la policía lo localice y arreste de una vez por todas.

"Quiero que lo arresten", mencionó. "Porque, en este momento, está burlándose del juez, de todos, porque siente que es intocable".

Pero no todo se trata solo de dinero… El abogado de Jackson, Pascal Michel, nos cuenta que su cliente quiere que Brown sea "un padre que esté presente", especialmente porque su hija de 15 años sigue sus pasos como una atleta destacada.

De hecho, Jackson dijo que Antanyiah -- quien participa en atletismo en su escuela secundaria -- es de interés para más de 80 escuelas, incluyendo la Universidad de Miami y Oregon.

"Al tener una hija atleta como ella, pensarías que él estaría a su lado para apoyarla", comentó Jackson.

Jackson, quien salió con AB al inicio de su carrera en la NFL, menciona que Brown la ha llevado al límite… pero no tiene planeado de dejar de luchar por su hija.

Antonio Brown's Ex Claims AB Still Hasn't Paid Child Support ... 'I Do Want Him Arrested'

Published | Updated

The mother of one of Antonio Brown's children is fed up with the ex-NFL star ... telling TMZ Sports he's still ducking child support payments -- and now, she wants him arrested over it.

Wiltrice Jackson -- who gave birth to Brown's daughter, Antanyiah, in 2008 -- spoke with us about her ex this week ... claiming he owes her nearly $31,000.

And, she says if she doesn't get the cash ASAP ... she wants him behind bars.

Of course, cops have already been ordered by the court to arrest Brown ... after a judge ruled back in August that he missed child support payments. According to court records, there's been no movement in the case since the order was issued.

It was the second time this year that a judge has issued the order against Brown.

Jackson says, regardless, it's all getting old for her ... and she's now wishing police would find him and slap the cuffs on him once and for all.

"I do want him arrested," she said. "Because, right now, he's making a mockery out of the judge, out of everything, because he feels like he's untouchable."

It's not all about dollar bills, though ... Jackson's attorney, Pascal Michel, tells us his client wants Brown to be "an involved father," especially since his 15-year-old daughter is following in his footsteps as a star athlete.

In fact, Jackson said Antanyiah -- who participates in track and field at her high school -- has received interest from over 80 schools, including the University of Miami and Oregon.

"By him having a daughter like an athlete like her, you would think he'd be in her corner to support her," Jackson said.

Jackson -- who dated AB during the beginning of his NFL career -- says Brown has pushed her to her limit ... but she has no plans whatsoever to stop fighting for her daughter.

KXNG Crooked Rap Industry Needs a Purge!!! Too Many Incompetents

Published

KXNG Crooked agrees with Wallo's assessment of today's hip hop needing fine-tuning but thinks it'll take an industry overhaul of personnel to really get the job done!!!

ICYMI, the "Million Dollaz Worth Of Game" cohost went viral with a super lengthy, yet effective, PSA criticizing the state of hip hop in '23 ... urging artists and their teams to do more than the bare minimum.

Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.

Well, the COB rapper sees Wallo's point and expressed his own frustrations and solutions to rap's quality drought with TMZ Hip Hop this week.

Crook cites a quote he heard from former White House honoree Felecia Hatcher that's all about holding an artist's feet to the fire.

In his career, he's been signed independently and to a major label -- he was once on Eminem's Shady Records alongside Joe Budden and his current collaborator Joell Ortiz -- but Crook believes underground artists show more passion in the music than their mainstream counterparts.

Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.

The topic of trash rap music has bounced around several generations ... Ice-T, KRS-One, Bow Wow and Bobby Shmurda have voiced negative opinions this year.

Crook's assessment is pretty simple -- the wrong label execs are greenlighting album rollouts and multimillion dollar budgets, and industry quality will improve once those "bad actors" are ousted.

Basically, he's talkin' about a revolution.

KANYE WEST CON NUEVO ÁLBUM EN COLABORACIÓN CON TD$, BUSCA HOGAR mientras las grandes disqueras lo evitan

Published | Updated

Kanye West parece tener un próximo álbum en colaboración con Ty Dolla $ign listo para llegar a las masas, y la única pregunta que queda es… ¿Quién lo ayudará a lanzarlo?

De acuerdo con Billboard, Kanye tiene nueva música en el horizonte, incluyendo esta colaboración con TD$, que marcará su primer gran lanzamiento desde su saga antisemita del año pasado. Lo que lo puso al margen de muchos de los grandes de Hollywood.

Parece que las secuelas de ese episodio han afectado sus posibilidades de distribuir el álbum por el momento, pero bueno, esto no significa que no tenga opciones. Billboard dice que sí. De acuerdo con el medio, Kanye está evaluando 5 ofertas diferentes de distribuidoras más pequeños y menos conocidos.

Una de esas ofertas provino de una compañía de publicación de música llamada Too Lost, que se lanzó hace tan solo un par de años y que ya posee los derechos de su música en YouTube. Parece que están intentando lanzar un álbum completo de él.

Aunque no se ha mencionado quiénes son las otras 4 ofertas, Billboard afirma que Kanye tomará una decisión pronto y que el álbum será lanzado en las próximas semanas, incluyendo los principales servicios de streaming que necesitaría para llegar a la audiencia más amplia posible.

Hablando de eso… Billboard señala, citando fuentes, que las principales disqueras se están alejando de Kanye en este momento, y en gran parte es por su retórica antisemita de 2022, que parece seguir en la mente de los ejecutivos de la industria musical en vista de la situación actual entre Israel y Palestina.

¡¡¡SUBAN A BORDO!!!

Se señalan que su nuevo álbum con Ty no aborda temas de antisemitismo en las canciones, al menos por lo que se ha escuchado hasta ahora. Sin embargo, sigue siendo una figura demasiado polarizadora para respaldarla.

Curiosamente… Kanye parece no haber superado la idea de hablar sobre la comunidad judía, ya que recientemente presentó una solicitud de marca para el término "YEWS", que planea utilizar en productos y servicios. Si eso se refiere al nombre del álbum, quedará por verse. Si ese es el nombre del álbum… aún nadie lo sabe.

De cualquier modo, prepárate para escuchar a Kanye nuevamente en la cabina, el tipo se está preparando para su próximo lanzamiento.

Kanye West New Album w/ TD$ Shopped Around Big Labels Steering Clear

Published | Updated

Kanye West apparently has a forthcoming album with Ty Dolla $ign that's all but ready to be released to the masses -- the only holdup now is ... who's gonna help him drop it???

Billboard reports that Ye's got new music on the horizon, including this joint collaboration between himself and TD$ -- which will mark his first big release since his antisemitic saga last year ... which put him on the outs with a lot of big-time Hollywood players.

Apparently, the aftermath of that is affecting KW's ability to get this album distributed right now -- but that's not to say he doesn't have options ... Billboard says he does. According to the outlet, Ye is weighing 5 different offers from smaller/lesser-known distributors.

One of those offers came from a music publishing company called Too Lost -- which launched just a couple years ago and which actually already holds the rights to Ye's music on YouTube. Now, it sounds like they're making a play to go all in on him for a straight-up album.

No word on who the other 4 offers are from, but Billboard says Kanye's going to make a decision soon -- and that the album should be released in the coming weeks ... including on all the big streaming services he'd need help from to reach the biggest possible audience.

Speaking of that ... Billboard says, citing sources, every major label is staying away from Ye right now -- and a big part of that has to do with his anti-Jew rhetoric from 2022, which seems to be at the forefront of record execs' minds considering Israel-Palestine right now.

selfie-tour-promo-still-4
HOP ABOARD!!!

They do note that his new album with Ty doesn't touch on any antisemitism in the songs -- at least based on what's been heard so far -- but he's still far too polarizing to get behind.

Interestingly enough ... Kanye himself doesn't seem to be over talking about Jewish people -- as he just recently filed for a trademark for the term "YEWS," which he wants to slap on a multitude of products and services. Whether that's the album name ... anyone's guess.

In any case, get ready to hear Kanye in the booth again -- dude's gearing up for a release soon.

SWIFTIES OUT THEIR SEATS

Taylor Swift has hit cineplexes everywhere -- and so have her fans ... who've turned moviegoing into straight-up concert fare -- and no, they're not staying in their seats for this one.

The 'Eras Tour' film opened internationally Friday -- this after Thursday previews -- and videos of Swifties losing their minds at theaters all over the globe are flooding the Internet ... which are fascinating. That, or disturbing ... depends on how you view this phenomenon.

101423-taylor-swift-movie-dancine-kal OCTOBER 2023
THE REAL 'ERAS' EXPERIENCE

Check these out ... 'cause they're quite something. The clips are coming in from all over the world -- but these ones in particular seem to be from Australia and the U.S. specifically.

One video shows fans getting out of their chairs and hitting the ground floor right in front of the screen as soon as "Shake It Off" starts to play. Honestly, the way it all plays out -- you could say it was all choreographed ... as it looks like this is straight out of a musical.

When everyone gets down to the lower level, they dance their faces off ... and sing in unison with Taylor. The same was done in yet another theates -- where her fans belted out "22."

Even when the credits roll ... the TS legion can't seem to help but stand up and get together -- which was demonstrated in one viral clip that shows Swifties swinging around in a giant hand-holding circle ... "Midsommar" style. Basically, "Ring Around the Rosie (Taylor's Version)."

selfie-tour-promo-still-4
HOP ABOARD!!!

Just goes to show what everyone sorta anticipated with this concert flick -- namely, it was going to become a full-blown event ... with people screaming/singing at the top of their lungs.

As far as money, the numbers have been great so far on opening day -- domestically, it's already raked in $39 million between Thursday and Friday screenings ... and at the moment, the 'Eras Tour' film is on pace to make anywhere from $90-$109 mil through Sunday.

It's an astonishing feat ... and yet another testament to the power of Taylor. Ooh-wee!

A GUIDE TO THE PEN

Freeway Rick Ross is giving Tory Lanez some hot tips on how to survive in prison ... saying that having a bodyguard is critical while detailing one of Suge Knight's clever maneuvers to stay safe.

We caught up with the former drug lord at LAX Friday, and he didn't pull any punches when it came to discussing Tory's recent transfer from the local L.A. jail to a California state lockup. As you know, Tory is serving a 10-year sentence for shooting Megan Thee Stallion in the foot.

Ross - who spent nearly 15 years in prison for his crimes -- says he feels sorry that Tory is incarcerated in state prison with some really bad dudes, but he wishes him well.

He says Tory might run into some issues while he's there because he's no longer with his usual clique; instead, he's rubbing elbows with gang members.

selfie-tour-promo-still-4
HOP ABOARD!!!

Ross warned Tory about getting involved with any gang, explaining he would be forced to take care of the members by getting into potentially violent situations.

He says Tory's successful background in music is going to be his "biggest detriment" because other inmates are going to hit him up for money all the time.

The ex-con turned book writer also advised Tory to pay $300 a month for an inmate bodyguard to shadow him at California Correctional Institution in Tehachapi.

And, finally, Ross encouraged Tory to follow Suge's lead and buy TVs for his fellow inmates to get into their good graces. Suge is currently serving a 28-year sentence for involuntary manslaughter.

It all sounds like some sound advice. Let's hope Tory takes it.

TRACY MORGAN LAMBORGHINI GOLPEADO DE COSTADO ... ¡¡¡Más mala suerte de los automóviles exóticos!!!

Published

Aquí está el Lamborghini Aventador SVJ de Tracy Morgan viajando por la interestatal ... ¡el problema es que el automóvil supercostoso está viajando sobre la plataforma de una grúa después de sufrir un caro golpe!

TMZ obtuvo fotografías del Lamborghini 2020 de Tracy siendo remolcado en la Ciudad de Nueva York ... y como pueden ver, en el lado izquierdo del vehículo deportivo se pueden ver unos rayones blancos que NO son marcas de rayas deportivas.

Parece que otro conductor le dio un golpe de costado o Tracy raspó algo - de cualquier forma, no será barato arreglar ese trabajo de pintura.

Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.

Las fotografías fueron tomadas el pasado domingo y Tracy fue visto conduciendo el vehículo con un valor de 500 000 dólares durante el fin de semana en la Gran Manzana ... por lo que el daño es reciente.

Es más mala suerte para la costosa colección de automóviles costosos de Tracy ... como lo informamos por primera vez, en 2019 estrelló su nuevo Bugatti tan solo minutos después de sacar el látigo de 2 millones de dólares de una sala de exhibición de la Ciudad de Nueva York.

Las reparaciones del Bugatti de Tracy ascendieron a 32 000 dólares para arreglar el parachoques y el guardabarros ... y es muy probable que las reparaciones del Lamborghini asciendan a otras 5 cifras.

Tracy Morgan Lamborghini Sideswiped ... More Exotic Car Bad Luck!!!

Published | Updated

Here's Tracy Morgan's Lamborghini Aventador SVJ traveling down the interstate ... problem is, the super expensive ride's cruising on a flatbed tow truck after sustaining a very expensive ding!

TMZ obtained photos of Tracy's 2020 Lambo getting towed in New York City ... and as you can see, it the left side of the sportscar has some white streaks that are NOT racing stripes.

It appears another driver sideswiped it, or Tracy scraped something -- either way, it won't be cheap to fix that paint job.

Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.

The photos were snapped last Sunday and Tracy was spotted driving the $500,000 car over the weekend in the Big Apple ... so the damage is fresh.

It's more bad luck for Tracy's expensive car collection ... as we first reported, back in 2019 he crashed his brand new Bugatti only minutes after driving the $2 million whip out of a NYC showroom.

Rick Ross Hoops Skills Praised By Lethal Shooter ... He Could've Been 'Elite!!!'

Published | Updated

If it wasn't for music, Rick Ross could've been a damn good basketball player ... at least, that's according to famed NBA shooting coach Lethal Shooter, who tells TMZ Sports the rapper's got the goods on the court!

Lethal -- real name Chris Matthews -- came to the conclusion after working with the "Hustlin'" artist earlier this month before he had to take a private jet to Las Vegas.

Matthews spent about an hour with the celeb ... and he was so impressed with Ross' work ethic, he said the dude could've been "elite" on the hardwood if he had chosen ball over hip hop.

SPLASH CITY

"As soon he got out of the car, he didn't waste any time," Matthews said of Ross. "He was looking to train. He only took two breaks. He wanted to learn."

Matthews, of course, didn't say an NBA career would've been in Ross' future if he had picked basketball at a young age ... but he explained to us the 47-year-old could've potentially made it as a college hooper if he wanted.

"I feel like people don't realize Rick Ross is pretty tall and anything that somebody put their mind to, they're capable of," Matthews said.

"What I saw from somebody, the age that he's at, that he was learning so fast I think he could've been capable at a young age to play at an elite level as far as high school and college."

Matthews knows a thing or two about A-listers with hoops skills ... he's trained a bunch of celebs over the years -- and told us guys like Future and Mark Cuban have some underrated games.

"When I was training Mark Cuban a few months back," Matthews said, "I felt like you can tell at a young age he was one of those guys that was always gonna bring it on defense, always gonna bring the intensity."

When the 38-year-old is not helping celebrities with their jump shots ... he's going nonstop at giving back to his hometown Washington D.C. -- telling us he recently donated $18K to three different schools in the DMV area.

"The biggest thing I wanna do is to continue to give back to my community," he said, "and to show other kids where I'm from you can make it as well."
