Druski is harkening back to his humble beginnings to defend himself against allegations he sexually assaulted a woman at a 2018 Diddy party -- and his measly bank statement is exhibit A.

TMZ Hip Hop obtained phone records and bank statements which squarely place Druski in Georgia, living with his mom, at the time of the alleged incident -- and they also show he was far from balling out enough to be anywhere near the other defendants in the lawsuit.

As we reported, a woman named Ashley Parham filed a lawsuit claiming Diddy, Druski (real name Drew Desbordes) and Odell Beckham Jr. raped her on March 23, 2018, at a party in Northern Cali.

Shannon Sharpe has just been sued for allegedly raping a woman on multiple occasions ... and the plaintiff in the case is asking for tens of millions in damages.

The lawsuit, obtained by TMZ Sports, was filed by a Jane Doe on Sunday in Nevada ... after she says Sharpe brutally sexually assaulted her several times at the end of 2024 and the beginning of 2025 -- following a yearslong, abusive relationship.

According to the suit, Doe met Sharpe in 2023 at a gym in Los Angeles -- when she was 20 years old and he was in his mid-50s. She stated in the docs during their first encounter, Sharpe told her he would "buy her fake t**s" if she won a weight-loss competition with him.

NFL superstar A.J. Brown claims his whip was stolen in Philadelphia in the early hours of Monday morning ... and he's vowing to get it back -- even if he has to take matters into his own hands.

The Philadelphia Eagles receiver shared the unfortunate news via social media ... saying there are two possible outcomes -- and both result in him getting his car back.

"Dear Philly -- To whoever stole my car last night, I’ll make a deal with you," Brown said Monday. "Bring back my car and I won’t press charges, or when I find you today, it’s going to be what it’s going to be."

Talk about a fatherly sacrifice -- Ben Affleck’s keeping the superhero fantasy alive for his son Samuel ... despite hating every second spent sweating it out in the Batsuit.

Check out the pics -- Ben and his 13-year-old son were out on Easter Sunday hitting up BAIT boutique in L.A., where the actor was spotted loading a DC Batman Hush figure, which retails for just over $400, into his car.

Looks like Samuel, Ben’s son with ex-wife Jennifer Garner, was getting the royal treatment -- 'cause before their toy shopping spree, the father-son duo also made a pit stop at World Market.

Money is a big motivator... and Post Malone is going to save a ton of money by battling his ex in a Utah court instead of a California court as they fight over child custody and support ... and it's all because of timing.

Here's the deal ... Post Malone's ex-fiancée Hee Sung "Jamie" Park filed custody documents in Los Angeles earlier this week, but Post had already filed his own custody documents in Utah ... and we've learned that's where the case will be handled.

That's good news for Post Malone's finances and bad news for Park ... because California allows for higher payments when it comes to child support.

Horror director Eli Roth ain't done scaring the life outta you just yet -- he’s now inviting fans to make some killer investments and promising a terrifyingly good return.

TMZ caught up with Eli -- the twisted mastermind behind "Cabin Fever," "Hostel" and more -- and he tells TMZ all about his new studio venture, The Horror Section. His mission? Craft the most unhinged, blood-soaked stories imaginable … and give some deep-pocketed fans the death of their dreams -- all in gory, on-screen glory, of course.

If you’re kinda over the usual chainsaws, masked maniacs, sketchy basements, and uttering the cursed words "I’ll be right back" ... Eli's offering you some tailor-made terror.

John Rocker's still pissed he's not fighting Patrick Mahomes Sr. this month, and he's taking his anger out on those who he believes scuttled the bout -- Patrick Mahomes II ... and the Kansas City quarterback's "loser wife."

Rocker, of course, was supposed to step in the ring with the elder Mahomes later Friday as part of Dave Portnoy's "Rough N Rowdy" promotion ... but back in late February, the Barstool Sports honcho announced the scrap was off.

Portnoy stated on an episode of "The Unnamed Show" that he believed Mahomes II and his longtime partner, Brittany, torpedoed things ... and on his X page Friday, Rocker made it clear he thought the same.

CM Punk is sure Elon Musk was giving a Nazi salute at that Donald Trump inauguration event back in January ... and the WWE Superstar is adamant there's no amount of "gaslighting" the billionaire can do to sway his opinion.

The 46-year-old wrestler went in on the Tesla honcho during an appearance on this week's "The Ringer Wrestling Show" ... insisting Musk gave a "Sieg Heil" while speaking to a pro-Trump crowd at Capital One Arena on Jan. 20.

Musk, of course, has stated the gesture was nothing more than an impassioned wave -- pointing out in an X post that plenty of politicians have made similar moves -- but Punk told the guys on the pod he's not buying it.

Cassie says Diddy is fishing around, demanding she turn over her bank statements and a book she wrote about him ... and she wants a judge to put the kibosh on his legal request.

According to new legal docs, obtained by TMZ, Cassie is trying to get the court to kill a subpoena she claims she was served by Diddy's legal team.

Cassie says Diddy sent her a subpoena March 19 demanding she turn over "all draft memoirs, autobiographies, narratives, diaries, journals or notes ... and any communications about plans to publish or threaten to publish such a document."

Insider trading is rampant on Capitol Hill and there needs to be new laws on the books to level the playing field ... so says a trading app founder who would lose his business if a major change ever happened.

Chris Josephs runs Autopilot, a trading app that lets regular folks copy stock trades made by some of Congress' most prescient portfolios, and he joined us on "TMZ Live" Thursday to tell us why he's confident Congress is using insider information to make a killing on the stock market.

Nancy Pelosi and Marjorie Taylor Greene are some of the alleged insider traders, and Chris says politicians from both sides of the aisle love to profit off crises ... he says it happened when the housing bubble burst, when Covid hit ... and is ramping up again with President Trump flip-flopping on tariffs.

A new ad circulating on social media hits MAGA right in the crotch!

The spot shows 2 utility workers griping about their taxes as they walk down a hallway, and then open a door to a computer server room -- but they find a GOP congressman on his knees "servicing" a rich campaign donor ... you get the picture.

The ad is funded by a Democratic Super PAC called the Progress Action Fund that's clearly no friend to MAGA. As one of the group's founders put it, "MAGA is going to HATE this ad. NASTY but accurate."

Karmelo Anthony has not withdrawn funds from his nearly $450,000 GiveSendGo fundraiser ... even after he walked free from the slammer on a $250K bond Monday.

Jacob Wells, cofounder of the popular crowdsourcing platform, tells TMZ no funds have been distributed, as the company receives "clarity from the campaign recipient on use of funds so that the people that have given can be confident in how their donation is being used."

The revelation comes while folks question how Anthony satisfied his $250,000 bond -- which a judge reduced from $1 million -- and how his family is covering his legal costs as the 17-year-old faces a first-degree murder charge in the stabbing death of Austin Metcalf at their Frisco, Texas track meet earlier this month ... all while allegedly living in a $900,000 rental home.

Gene Hackman's New Mexico property won't have a tough time selling despite some tough circumstances ... at least according to real estate agents in the area.

Gene, his wife Betsy Arakawa and one of their dogs were found dead in their secluded Santa Fe estate earlier this year, and the place was infested with dead rodents and rats' nests ... but realtors say neither instance should be a dealbreaker when it comes time for the property to hit the open market.

Ken Martinez of Keller Williams Realty, Jer Collins of Exp Realty and Shak Bani from Santa Fe Properties all agreed ... the rodent problems will be cleaned up, and the home's secluded location is going to be the big selling point.

Mickey Rourke may have gotten booted off "Celebrity Big Brother" ...  but he's not going down without a fight, as he's exploring legal action against the show for allegedly withholding money he feels entitled to, TMZ has learned.

Kimberly Hines, Rourke's rep, tells TMZ ... Mickey's team is currently speaking with lawyers in the UK and are weighing a lawsuit against ITV, the company that produces the show.

Hines says Rourke is being "unjustly" denied a major payday ... claiming 'CBB' producers deliberately removed him this past Saturday, just one day before he would have become contractually eligible to receive a lot more money.

8:23 AM PT -- Sean Kingston's attorney Zeljka Bozanic tells TMZ ... "Mr. Kingston’s bond has been posted and he is in the process of being released."

He's back to home detention, with GPS monitoring, and is required to surrender his passport.

Sean Kingston was in lockup Tuesday 'cause he couldn’t cough up the $100K cash bond tied to his federal wire fraud case.

Kingston, who got hit with a guilty verdict last month alongside his mom, Janice Turner, on all five charges, is now sitting tight at the Federal Detention Center in Miami, TMZ has learned.

Following his conviction last month, he was confined to home detention pending sentencing on the condition he could post a $100K cash bond. But now that the singer and rapper is unable to come up with the money, he's been taken into custody.

Kristin Cavallari has officially parted ways with her Nashville-area estate ... TMZ has learned.

Sources familiar with the sale tell TMZ ... the "Let's Be Honest" podcast host offloaded her Franklin, TN home for $7.5 million at the beginning of April ... after first listing the property last year for a whopping $11 million. She later slashed the asking price to $8.99 million.

Despite the price cut, KC is still walking away with a really nice profit ... as she first picked up the 28-acre property, with 4 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms, for just over $3 million following her 2020 split from her ex-husband, Jay Cutler.
