Money

Kodak Black's ex-girlfriend Maranda Johnson is looking to up the ante on her child support payments from the rap star ... TMZ has learned.

The new push for more comes on the heels of the explosive fight between his baby mamas at his daughter's birthday party -- and his team doesn't think it's a coincidence!!!

Kodak's attorney Bradford Cohen tells TMZ Hip Hop ... new legal docs filed in Broward County, Florida last week are a push to get more money from Kodak for their two kids.

Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco are head over heels and living large -- because TMZ has learned they dropped millions on a dreamy Beverly Hills mansion.

The resort-like grounds come with multiple structures, including a library and a grand swirling staircase. Outside there's a glass greenhouse solarium, a fitness center, and a pool.

Roughly half a million dollars worth of jewelry was allegedly stolen from Olivier Giroud's Los Angeles-area home during a burglary earlier this month, TMZ Sports has learned.

Kanye West and Bianca Censori have both had their reps contact a divorce lawyer this week, and that usually means one thing ... and that "thing" does not involve a prenup.

Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ ... the reps contacted at least one lawyer early in the week, and this was not the first time. Another source with direct knowledge tells TMZ, one of Kanye's reps contacted another lawyer back in October, when TMZ was reporting marital trouble. We're told the rep "was hot, angry." Our source says the lawyer passed on repping Ye.

If they do pull the trigger and file for divorce, it's going to be an interesting case, because sources with direct knowledge tell us, there's no prenup. What makes it even more intriguing, we're told Kanye has actually lost money since he married Bianca. In California, assets and debts are split equally, so on the surface, she could actually owe money.

Jay-Z is going out of his way to expose Tony Buzbee's alleged attempts to get large sums of money from him over 2 different allegations -- one of which was just dismissed, and the other never even ended up in court.

According to docs Jay-Z filed this week, obtained by TMZ, Buzbee sent 2 "demand letters" to Jay in November 2024 -- one of them was over the Jane Doe who accused Jay and Diddy of raping her in 2000, when she was 13. The other was for a John Doe, who, according to the letter, claimed Jay sexually assaulted him at a 2015 Beverly Hills party ... when he was 16, and had been secretly drugged by someone other than Jay.

Now, Jay calls both allegations "false and ridiculous in every respect." As we reported, the Jane Doe accuser filed Friday to dismiss her case ... a huge victory for Jay and Diddy.

Remember, text messages from and between Abel and Nathan were already prominently featured in Blake's lawsuit against Justin, which alleges sexual harassment and a conspiracy to retaliate against her by destroying her image and career.

Bravo to Andy Cohen for making the ultimate real estate reality check -- after his NYC condo sat on the market, he's slashing the price by a whopping $2 million!

Andy's 3,500-square-foot, 2-story West Village palace hit the market in September with a jaw-dropping $14 million price tag -- but despite its opulence, it’s been a tough sell. Now, it’s been knocked down to $12 mil!

Still, it’s a shocker that it didn’t fly off the market at full price -- especially since Andy put in some serious work. He first bought the ground floor for $1.4M in 2003, then snagged the unit above to create one luxe condo.
