Tupac had sex on the brain when he was locked up, because his rare hand-drawn love letter to his girlfriend is hitting the auction block ... and the images are extra erotic!!!

Pac was probably humming "How Do U Want It" when he was drafting up this card from jail, because the drawings show him and his girl, Desiree Smith, GETTING IT ON!

Steiner Auctions says the rare hand-drawings, envelope and card were all created by Tupac in 1995, when he was incarcerated at Clinton Correctional Facility in Dannemora, NY.

Seems Tupac was already a big fan of his future Death Row labelmate, Snoop Dogg ... because Pac is definitely down with doggy style!

Of course, it's not all about sex. Tupac gets kinda mushy with his words, telling Desiree he loves her and misses her deeply (pun surely intended).

Offset hit up a casino Saturday night in Puerto Rico, making the most of his vacation and apparent reconciliation with Cardi B.

Offset and a friend played craps at the Sheraton Convention Center in San Juan. Eyewitnesses tell TMZ, the Migos rapper was betting $10k on each roll of the dice. He plunked down $60k. Offset won some, but lost more.

The night before Offset was backstage as Cardi B performed at the same Convention Center.

It sure seems like the ice has thawed ... after Cardi proclaimed 3 weeks ago her marriage was over.

We got these pics of Cardi B and Offset jet skiing in San Juan during the trip, and she's holding on tight.

Leave it to Banksy to take Paris Hilton's first album and turn it into a work of art so coveted, it's fetching more than $2,000 on the auction block!!!

The street artist totally reimagined Paris' self-titled 2006 album, complete with spoofed song titles and a topless Hilton on the cover, plus tons of not-so-subtle digs at Paris inside the CD booklet.

According to RR Auction, Banksy re-interpreted about 500 copies of "Paris" immediately after the album dropped, and placed his work in 48 record stores across the United Kingdom. Bids for the rare copy have already surpassed its $2k estimate!

With Bansky spoofing album art and track titles, he enlisted DJ Danger Mouse to remix the tunes ... and, we gotta say, it still bumps.

Check out the gallery ... we're guessing Paris' exposed breast on the cover will draw your eye, but the real fun is inside the booklet. Banksy depicts Paris in tons of different poses, next to captions mixing funny insults with social commentary.

Here's the original "Paris" cover from '06, and as you can see, Banksy's version is way more risque.

Marquette King says his music career is about to take off ... tellin' TMZ Sports if he hadn't been an amazing punter -- he'd already be bigger than Chris Brown!!

The former Raiders and Broncos punter began making beats back in high school ... but says tinkering with music on long flights during his NFL career made him a master musician.

So much so ... Marquette says he feels like if he had picked music over punting a long time ago -- he'd already be a superstar in the entertainment world.

"If I woulda started my music before I started my punting career, I woulda been Chris Brown. Chris Brown and Justin Bieber, they wouldn't even want to see me, dawg!"

King says his music style is more house or EDM -- "something you'll hear in Vegas" -- but he tells us his vocals are "legendary" too.

Marquette is still lookin' to get back into punting in 2019 -- the guy says he still LOVES the art of it -- but he tells us all about how he wouldn't mind kickin' it with Calvin Harris in the studio in the meantime!!!

Turns out Cardi B missing Offset between the sheets is a mutual feeling -- he's still thinking about sex with her too ... and what sounds like a recent romp has him fee(hee!)ling some type of way.

The Migos rapper just posted a video of himself wearing a mask and dancing to Michael Jackson's "The Way You Make Me Feel" on a balcony ... complete with MJ-inspired crotch grabbing and body popping to boot.

He captioned the post, "P * * * * K N O C K E D M E O F F M Y F E E T B A B Y 9/20 M E R R Y C H R I S T M A S." September 20 is the day they got hitched in a secret ceremony last year. Maybe this is his way of celebrating their 1 year, 3 month-plus anniversary? Or, maybe, he's confirming that they're doing it again. Probably the latter, right?

You'll recall ... Cardi said just last week that she missed Offset as well -- or at least part of him, anyway. Looks like he received the message loud and clear, 'cause the on-again-off-again couple jetted down to Puerto Rico for her performance and snuck in a little jet ski action ... and probably some bedroom action too.

Cardi -- who didnt' seem very happy we got our hands on those jet skiing pics -- explained her reunion with Offset on Instagram Live, saying quite simply ... "I just had to get f*****. That's all." The video ended with a big smile on her face.

Based on all this, it's clear they banged. And, Offset might very well have been reminded of the fireworks made on the day they both said "I do." No better way to express the feeling than with some Michael magic ... especially if you can pull it off, which he did.

Pete Davidson wanted a bird's-eye view at Machine Gun Kelly's concert Saturday, and he got it ... and then some.

The 'SNL' star was spotted at MGK's show inside the Wolstein Center at Cleveland State University, where he was taking in the scene seated on an elevated stage platform. He was wearing a dark hoodie and seemed to be covering his head ... but rocked out regardless.

You can see one concert goer zoom in on Pete as Kelly performed 'Rap Devil,' and he puts his hands up while seemingly rapping along. "Saturday Night Live" is on break for the holidays and won't be back 'til January ... so Pete had some time on his hands this weekend.

It's great to see him out and enjoying himself -- albeit all by his lonesome up there near the rafters. Pete's outing comes one week after an alarming social media post that appeared to imply he was suicidal ... which set off a wave of support from loved ones.

MGK gave us a bit of a mixed update on his pal earlier last week ... telling us things were weird for Pete and co. during this time. We'd been told he was still in a dark place following the suicide scare, but he now seems to have turned a new leaf for the better.

The deadly tsunami that has killed more than 220 people was captured as it hit, in a video that shows a concert decimated by the fierce wave.

The band, Seventeen, was performing at a beach resort in Tanjung Lesung, Indonesia when the tsunami struck. You see the stage collapse as audience members run for their lives.

The lead singer now says their manager and bassist died. Three other band members are missing.

The tsunami hit Saturday night, after an underwater landslide triggered a volcanic eruption.

The force of the tsunami was devastating, with 20 foot waves pounding and destroying everything in its path.

The tsunami destroyed more than 500 homes, 9 hotels, 60 restaurants and 350 boats.

Tekashi69 was scared outta his mind after a shooting on the set of his music video ... but it had nothing to do with getting hit by bullets and everything to do with legal ramifications.

TMZ's obtained footage taken moments after 2 gunmen opened fire on the Beverly Hills mansion last November where Tekashi and Kanye West were set to film a music video. It's hard to see, but pay close attention to what you hear -- Tekashi desperately wanting to leave ... fearing his mere presence at the scene would put his then-newfound freedom in serious jeopardy.

You hear cops explain they found a 9mm and rifle rounds in the alley. They also explain how the house was intentionally targeted before saying they need to ID everyone. That's when you hear Tekashi -- sitting inside an SUV -- say, "ID me? I can't ... I'm on probation ... tell [the cops] I'm not here."

Tekashi's handler is also heard assuring Tekashi, word will NOT get out he was there. Remember ... the shooting went down just 2 weeks AFTER the rapper caught a huge break, when he was sentenced to 4 years probation in his child sex case.

As part of the deal, Tekashi was ordered to avoid all gang activity. The shooting, coupled with Tekashi at the scene, was a terrible look.

Michael B. Jordan really doesn't want to believe Travis Scott's joining Maroon 5 for the Super Bowl 53 Halftime Show ... because he thinks it goes against what Trav should be standing for.

Much like Al Sharpton -- who flat out called Scott a hypocrite when we talked to him -- Jordan implies Travis is betraying the boycott against the NFL for how it's treated Colin Kaepernick and its handling of the kneeling controversy.

MBJ says, "We're still trying to stand behind something right now," and suggests by taking the Super Bowl gig ... the rapper's setting the cause back.

Ariana Grande's putting a tumultuous week behind her ... and getting back to business.

The pop star was spotted at a home in the Hollywood Hills Friday, all glammed up to shoot a music vid. Ariana's back to her classic look too -- a sexy black getup ... to go with her long ponytail.

As we've reported ... it's been topsy-turvy times lately for Grande. Not long after the release of her massively successful "Thank U, Next" video, she got into it with Kanye West on Twitter and subsequently offended her ex-fiance, Pete Davidson, with a comment about mental health.

After Pete posted an ominous note suggesting he was suicidal, Ariana rushed to check on him at 30 Rock ... but he refused to see her.

Cardi B shook things up in a big way Friday night, and Offset was right there with her.

Cardi rocked the house at the Convention Center in San Juan, Puerto Rico and Offset was cheering her on. We got this video of Offset in a mask leaving the backstage area after Cardi's set. He watched the entire concert from that area.

The video shows Cardi chillin' at one point and Offset is near her in the orange pants.

Goes without saying ... the concert was sold out.

Earlier in the day, we got Cardi and Offset having a blast on a jet ski ... she was in the back holding on tight.

Al Sharpton is calling out Travis Scott for agreeing to perform at the Super Bowl ... in fact, he's calling him a hypocrite.

We got the Reverend Friday in a rainy NYC, and he couldn't be stronger ... he says Travis is betraying the NFL boycott by drawing people to the game by his presence with Maroon 5 during the halftime show.

Sharpton feels strongly that people need to turn their backs on the NFL for what they did to Colin Kaepernick and others who expressed themselves by taking a knee to protest injustice.

NBA YoungBoy's concert exploded into violence Friday night, after someone ran up on him and tried stealing his chain.

The rapper was performing in South Carolina, sitting on his bodyguard's shoulder in the crowd, when a fan snuck up on him and tried yanking the bling off his neck. You see NBA YoungBoy jump off his bodyguard's shoulder and punch the dude in the face.

The bodyguard breaks up the fight, but it doesn't take long for the crowd to go at each other.

NBA YoungBoy got back on stage and started rapping with Quando. Problem is ... the guy who tried stealing the chain started heckling him, and Quando stopped the music and throws down a challenge ... if anyone had an issue with NBA YoungBoy, they should speak up or forever hold their peace.

Disney didn't just commit cultural appropriation when it locked down the rights to "Hakuna Matata," the company actually stole the saying from an incredibly popular Kenyan band ... this according to the group's frontman.

John Katana is on the ground in Africa, and the singer tells us Them Mushrooms popularized the phrase way back in 1980, when the band released its hit song, "Jambo Bwana."

In Swahili, "Hakuna Matata" means "no problem" or "no worries" ... and you probably know it from 'Lion King' characters Timon and Pumbaa.

The original song went platinum in Kenya in the 1980s, but John says he and his bandmates didn't understand copyright laws back then, allowing Disney to swoop in and trademark the phrase in '94, coinciding with its movie release.

Disney is releasing a new 'Lion King' next summer, and the increased spotlight has led to a growing petition accusing the company of "colonialism and robbery" ... while calling on Disney to abandon its trademark. The petition has over 147,000 signatures.

DC Young Fly says he's down with Maroon 5 and Travis Scott performing at halftime of the Super Bowl ... but he still feels the NFL made a huge mistake by passing over Atlanta rappers.

The 'Wild 'N Out' star isn't going full Jay-Z -- trying to talk Travis out of performing -- but he supports Colin Kaepernick and thinks the NFL is slapping ATL in the face by snubbing its hip-hop scene ... and he warns a TON of people are gonna raise hell when the big game comes to town.

We broke the story ... the "SICKO MODE" rapper will join M5 at the big show. Travis' new gig is drawing praise and scorn.

DC makes it clear his beef is not with Travis ... he suggests two music icons should join the show and ease tensions in Hotlanta. Hint: think gospel.

Cardi B was all over Offset Friday ... hugging him and you might even say hanging on for dear life.

Cardi and Offset were vacationing in Puerto Rico, and it's a real sign his full-court campaign to win her back has worked.

Eyewitnesses tell TMZ they seemed very much like a couple as they laughed and played on and in the deep blue sea.

They were there with friends. No sign of baby Kulture, but it's a safe bet she's there.

Cardi has a set Friday night in San Juan at the Electric Holiday festival.

We don't know for sure if Cardi has taken Offset back, but there have been signs for more than a week that the ice is thawing.

Cardi announced her split with Offset on December 4. As we reported, he crashed her stage at the Rolling Loud Music Festival in L.A. last weekend, and she was clearly not receptive but it looks like things may have changed.
