4:11 PM PT -- A source close to Cardi tells us the baby in the video isn't Kulture, in fact, it's not a real baby at all.

Cardi B took "bring your daughter to work day" to a whole new level ... by featuring Kulture in a not so traditional way in her brand new music video.

The rapper goes topless in her vid for "Money" -- which dropped Friday -- to breastfeed her baby girl, Kulture. Because it's Cardi, there's also no shortage of her in lavish outfits, sexy dance moves ... and shots of her ass.

Who knew she played piano?

As we've reported ... Cardi's been pretty stingy providing pics or vids of her daughter, but made a big reveal shortly after announcing her split with Offset.

Offset announced on his birthday he wanted Cardi back, and to spend Christmas together as a family. He also crashed her stage at Rolling Loud last weekend with $15,000 in roses ... only to be rejected in front of a ton of people.

Kulture was hidden from the world for a long time ... but she's definitely getting tons of attention now though.

Day 106 of Priyanka Chopra and Nick Jonas celebrating their marriage nuptials might have been the most interesting -- thanks to the bride's dance moves, and their MC's Notorious B.I.G. impression.

Nick and Priyanka had their third wedding reception Thursday night in Mumbai for Priy's Bollywood industry friends. She danced her ass off while the MC rapped to Biggie's "Hypnotize." Worth noting ... dude with the mic rapped the n-word.

No one was fazed by the lyrics, and everyone seemed more interested in Priyanka doing attempting the Milly Rock. Nick stood there watching ... in admiration, we're sure. Also, he's gotta be tired of dancing at wedding receptions by now.

Priyanka also danced to some traditional Indian music ... some of which looked choreographed.

It's becoming a thing. You'll recall, the families had an intense dance off some 20 days ago when the nuptials began. There was also a Wednesday bash for the media in India.

Travis Scott is working OT these days ... performing in front of thousands, and then performing in front of hundreds ... all in the same night.

The rapper hit up OHM Nightclub in Hollywood late Thursday night for an after-party following his INSANE concert at The Forum. Fans at his concert were so crazed, Travis asked at one point ... "What y'all ate for breakfast? Oh my geez."

Crazed fans were not the only ones turning up at The Forum for Travis -- Kylie was there with Kris and her BF, Corey Gamble.

The crowd at the concert was subdued compared to the die-hards at the after-party. They roared, jumped and damn near lost their minds ... especially when Kodak Black's "ZEZE" featuring Travis blared through the speakers.

Beyonce fans thought they were getting an early Christmas gift with some surprise new music, but it turns out ... the Queen's songs were more like classics.

Two albums worth of Beyonce music leaked late Thursday on both Apple and Spotify under the name Queen Carter, sparking a brief online frenzy ... until people realized the tracks were old.

The albums -- titled "Have Your Way" and "Back Up, Rewind" -- contained old demos and previously unreleased tracks by Bey ... even strangely including “Hey Goldmember” from the soundtrack for 2002′s “Austin Powers in Goldmember." All the tracks were removed by midnight.

The leak seems to be the work of hackers, because the same thing happened to SZA -- an album of her older demos hit streaming services under the name Sister Solana. She said the songs were "random scratches from 2015" ... but not new.

There is some consolation for the Beyhive, though ... because the Queen did recently release something new -- a photo of her 18-month-old twins, Rumi and Sir.

Karrueche Tran says Travis Scott is making a HUGE MISTAKE by doing the Super Bowl halftime show with Maroon 5 ... and now she's hoping and praying he back out ASAP.

"I just don't think it's a good idea," Tran told us outside Hyde on the Sunset Strip ... "I'm really hoping it's not gonna happen."

Seems Tran -- who's dating ex-NFL star Victor Cruz -- is unhappy with the way the league is treating players like Colin Kaepernick. She also seems to be unhappy with the way the league is handling violence toward women.

Amy Schumer has called for celebrities to boycott the NFL and the halftime show -- and Tran clearly agrees.

When asked if the NFL can do anything to help change her mind, Tran suggested there wasn't enough time ... since the Super Bowl is only 2 months away.

Travis Scott doesn't have to justify his decision to perform at the Super Bowl to anyone -- his only goal should be to put on a hip-hop show for the ages ... so says Yung Joc.

The Atlanta rapper's going to bat for Trav, who's taking some heat from peers -- like Meek Mill -- for opting to join Maroon 5 for the halftime show in February. Meek thinks it's beneath Travis ... plus, it breaks the NFL boycott some celebs are organizing in support of Colin Kaepernick.

But, YJ points out the stage doesn't get any bigger than the SB, and the opportunity for Scott is not only too big to pass up ... but it can do a lot of good for the hip-hop culture.

We broke the story ... the "SICKO MODE" rapper's decision to take the halftime gig is a huge win for the NFL as he's one of the hottest acts in music right now. The league and Maroon 5 are still in talks to add more artists ... possibly Cardi B or Big Boi.

Jeezy's son got slashed in the face in a violent altercation that left a man dead ... and cops are trying to determine if the carnage was the result of the 2 going at each other.

According to law enforcement ... the ATL rapper's 22-year-old son, Jadarius, was involved in an incident Sunday morning in Georgia that ended with gunfire. Officers responded to a shots fired call, and when they arrived they found a 37-year-old man had been shot ... he later died at the hospital

Cops say Jadarius sustained a "possible knife wound to the face" and was treated at the scene, but it's unclear what occurred prior to the altercation between the two.

Drew Findling, the attorney for Jeezy's son, tells TMZ ... "We are grateful to law enforcement for releasing Jadarius after their preliminary investigation. He continues to receive medical treatment for the injury he endured during the incident.”

Nick Jonas and Priyanka Chopra are giving Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson a run for their money as wedding aficionados, 'cause they've got a 3rd reception -- yes, it's STILL going -- for Bollywood.

Ya gotta believe Nick and Priyanka are tired of striking these poses, but Thursday they gave it one more go with a reception for Priy's Bollywood industry friends. The nuptials began more than 2 weeks ago with TWO weekend ceremonies ... and at least 2 pre and post receptions.

They also had a Wednesday bash for the media in India.

As if they haven't gotten enough attention ... they gave their fans and the media even more to talk about. Yes, everyone's taken note of Nick's hand over his bride's belly. We are NOT saying she's preggo, but we ARE saying ... they know how to start a buzz.

We also know for sure ... there will soon be another round of party pics like these once Thursday's festivities come to an end.

We're not even gonna make a guess as to whether this is THE final stop on their wedding train. Allegedly it is, but ya just never know with these 2.

Jackie Fuchs, the former Runaways bassist and reigning queen of 'Jeopardy,' had a major health scare while taping the show ... and it was so bad, she thought she was having a stroke!

Jackie tells us midway through the latest 'Jeopardy' contest her blood sugar levels crashed, causing her to lose control of her motor functions. She says the studio audience absolutely noticed too, and even groaned as she was struggling to speak.

If you've been watching Jackie dominate her 'Jeopardy' competition, you know she's on a four-night win streak heading into Thursday's episode. Jackie says her medical emergency will most likely be edited out. Meanwhile, she's just trying hard not to reveal anything about the final result.

Jackie's win streak on the show started last Friday, but it wasn't until this week Alex Trebek revealed her rock star past with Joan Jett's all-female rock group.

Jackie's clearly feeling better now ... because we had one of our staffers -- who considers himself a trivia expert -- challenge her.

Tekashi69 just can't catch a break ... a judge just issued a bench warrant for his arrest because he failed to show up to a hearing even though 6ix9ine's currently locked up.

We're told Tekashi had a hearing Thursday morning in Houston for his mall attack case. The judge was fully aware why Tekashi couldn't make it -- he's in federal custody in NYC for more serious crimes -- but the judge followed protocol and issued a bench warrant because he no-showed.

As we first reported ... Tekashi was accused of putting his hands around a 16-year-old kid's neck in a scuffle at a local mall earlier this year. The rapper and the kid, Santiago Albarran, ultimately made peace after the kid showed up for one of Tekashi's hearing and made it clear he did NOT want Tekashi to be prosecuted.

Tekashi's attorney, Carl Moore, tells TMZ ... they rejected a plea deal because they believe the case should be dismissed now that Albarran no longer wants Tekashi prosecuted. Albarran submitted a written affidavit in the case saying he wants the case to be dismissed.

What's more ... copping a plea would result in a conviction which could hurt Tekashi's federal case.

As you know ... Tekashi's entangled in a much more serious case that has him facing life in prison.

Kodak Black wasn't kidding when he said he was getting more involved with charities ... he's done it again, this time bringing smiles with tons of Christmas gifts.

We're told the rapper hit up Paradise Childcare in Broward County, Florida earlier this week and delivered a bunch of toys that'll go to 150 kids. The non-profit group assists parents with childcare and other needs.

On top of the gifts ... we're told Kodak also dropped around $5k for the org's Christmas party.

A rep for Paradise Childcare tells TMZ ... they're grateful for Kodak's contribution, and the toys will be divided between 2 Paradise locations.

In addition to his gift-drop ... we're told Kodak took part in something called the "Gifts of Chai" with Rabbi Scheur Kaplan. Participants give or receive gifts in multiples of $18 ... which is considered good luck. Kodak donated $180.

Rabbi Kaplan tells us, "It isn't the amount of money that matters. Kodak sent the gift of Chai 10x which is amazing. This is very special and we are thankful."

Maroon 5 has just crushed the doubters who said finding another artist for the Super Bowl Halftime Show was impossible ... because TMZ has learned they locked down one of the biggest names in music ... Travis Scott!!!

Travis will join M5 during the halftime show in Atlanta on February 3. It's arguably the biggest gig in music, with historical performances over the years.

It's a monster move ... Travis has the hottest tour going, a huge single with Drake and he's generating big Grammy buzz. Not only that -- Travis' 3 shows on Grammy week (Vegas, San Diego, LA) are nearly sold out after presale -- and rumor has it he'll add another show at The Forum that week too.

And, if that's not enough, we've learned his plus one will be the mother of his child (and possibly his wife) and one of the biggest and richest celebs on the planet ... Kylie Jenner.

Our industry sources tell us Maroon 5 is also in talks with several other artists about possibly joining the show ... including Cardi B and Outkast's Big Boi.

Travis' addition is a big win for the NFL and hip-hop fans ... you'll recall, Waka Flocka Flame bashed the League for passing over Atlanta rappers in favor of a mainstream band.

It'll be interesting to see if Cardi and Big Boi strike deals to perform as well. Big Boi hails from the ATL, and his addition would be huge for the city.

Kanye West wants to show blood is always thicker than water ... so he hit up Travis Scott's concert to prove it.

Kanye and Kim joined the crowd -- which also included Jay-Z and Beyonce -- at Trav's Astroworld tour stop at The Forum in L.A. Wednesday night ... and Ye looked like he was feeling the music.

This comes just days after Kanye expressed his frustration with Scott -- whom he considers family -- for allowing Drake to "sneak disses" at him on his hit song, "SICKO MODE."

As you'll recall ... Kanye went on a Twitter tirade last week blasting Drake for threatening him and his family, but during the rant he also called out Travis for allowing Drake to diss him on 'SICKO.'

Specifically, Kanye took umbrage with Drake's "checks over stripes" lyrics on Trav's track ... meaning Nike over Adidas. Ye, obviously, is an Adidas man.

Kanye tweeted a day later that he and Travis met up and hashed things out ... but many thought there might be some side beef lingering between the 2.

It looks like Kanye's practicing what he preached, though -- family first and always ... and all's well with the Kardashian family rappers.

Famous Dex falling asleep on IG Live had fans concerned about his health, and it turns out they're not the only ones ... his camp is working overtime to help the kid kick drugs.

TMZ has learned the Chicago rapper passing out in the middle of his live stream earlier this week was just the latest troubling sign that he's got a drug problem. We've been told Dex abuses opioids.

In case you missed it, FD literally nodded off in the middle of talking to his followers and playing music. His head began to lean forward and his lit blunt rested on his hand for a while before he finally woke back up. The disturbing scene was alarming to his fan base.

Dex later responded on the same platform, telling folks he'd simply fallen asleep because he was tired from working in the studio for so long ... and it was all much ado about nothin'.

Thing is, we're told that's just not the case. Sources say Dex was upset by the video of himself passing out and expressed a desire of never wanting to see himself like that again. The problem ... he's tried getting treatment, but always circles back to drugs.

This is how bad it's gotten for Dex -- we've learned there's someone who is always by Dex's side for the sole purpose of making sure he's coherent enough to do his job. We're also being told that, at times, there's even someone who sleeps in the same bed to make sure he's okay. His team is actively working to get him the help he needs.

Layzie Bone's getting to the root of his beef with Migos after the upstarts declared themselves the biggest group in the world to ever exist. Layzie's issue? Migos lacks R-E-S-P-E-C-T.

Layzie jumped on "TMZ Live" to set the record straight -- Offset and the rest of Migos are talented, but anointing themselves the biggest group ever ignores the path paved by the OGs.

ICYMI ... Offset made his declaration earlier this week, which triggered Layzie to fire back and say Outkast, NWA and the Beastie Boys can arguably lay claim to the title, but Bone Thugs-N-Harmony is right up there with them.

Janet and Randy Jackson have a payroll problem ... because they're being sued by a former manager claiming they didn't pay him for his services.

Danny O'Donovan has filed new legal docs claiming Janet and Randy hired him in July 2016 to be the tour manager for the "State of the World Tour." According to docs, obtained by TMZ, Danny says the Jacksons agreed to pay him $25k per month and he ended up working for 17 months.

In docs, O'Donovan says everything was fine and dandy 'cause they paid him each month for the first 5 months, but then the payments stopped. O'Donovan says he completed his duties over the remaining 12 months ... so he's suing to get what he says he's owed -- $300k.

We've reached out to Janet and Randy, so far no word back.
