Drake is expanding his empire by getting into the marijuana industry, the legal one, and he wants to slap his new chronic company's name on all sorts of products.

Champagne Papi's dubbed his weed biz More Life Growth Company and according to legal docs obtained by TMZ ... Drake wants to lock up the rights to his company's name and then use it to sell vapes, pipes, rolling papers and hookahs, plus a ton of merch like shirts, boots, coats, dresses, gloves, hats, hoodies, jackets, jeans, sweats, shorts and sneakers.

No clue how this would work, but he's even included lingerie in his trademark application!!!

Drake's also going the more traditional route -- herbal teas for medicinal and recreational purposes, and medicinal herb extracts.

Drizzy almost seems a little late to the party ... as we first told you, Post Malone is launching a weed company named Shaboink, and Ray J poured $5 million into his own pot biz.

Jay-Z's Roc Nation and Philadelphia Eagles star Malcolm Jenkins are putting up big money to share the heart-wrenching stories of parents who've lost children to social injustice.

Malcolm's Players Coalition released a powerful video Wednesday focusing on the tragic death of Danroy "DJ" Henry ... a Pace University football star who was fatally shot by a police officer back in 2010.

The PSA is narrated by DJ's mother, Angella Henry ... and makes the point that what happened to her son could, sadly, happen to anyone's child.

You might have seen the hashtag #EveryonesChild trending on Twitter today -- and that's not by accident. Sources familiar with the situation tell TMZ ... Roc Nation is throwing its full support behind the message, spending $1 million on social media and several other outlets to advertise the PSA.

Roc artist Meek Mill even tweeted about the PSA, as did CNN's Van Jones. Of course, both men have been on the frontlines of the push for criminal justice reform.

When Jay-Z announced his partnership with the NFL, he promised to help players get the word out about social issues important to them and their communities -- and we're told Roc Nation plans to do that through its new "Responsibility Program."

We're told the program will produce a series of videos, similar in tone to the DJ Henry one ... aiming to not only raise awareness but also to push for legislation supporting criminal justice reform.

As Malcolm, cofounder of the Players Coalition, says, "We have a responsibility to use our platforms to unite people and foster positive change ... but we can't achieve that goal without education." He added ... that's the ultimate goal of the DJ Henry video.

T.I. says he still accompanies his now 18-year-old daughter for an annual gynecology check-up ... just to make sure her virginity is intact.

The rapper recently made the revelation on the podcast "Ladies Like Us," saying he's been taking Deyjah Harris to the gyno for years now, and sits in for the results with the intent of confirming her hymen has not been broken.

Tip got into the convo when the hosts -- Nazanin and Nadia -- asked if he's had the sex talk with his daughters. He told them he schedules the doctor's visit each year ... usually right after Deyjah's birthday.

T.I. says he's simply exercising his right as a parent to steer his daughter away from what he considers bad decisions. As he put it to Nadia and Nazanin -- who's singer Miguel's wife, BTW -- "I think that most kids in hindsight, looking back, they always thank their parents for not allowing them to damage themselves as much as they could have."

Deyjah turned 18 this year, and it's worth noting she put the Internet, and any guys looking to holler at her, on notice. She warned just 'cause she's 18, it doesn't give older guys a right to try to get with her.

Kylie Jenner and Drake are in a relationship ... but it's the same relationship they've been in for a long time -- just friends.

Sources close to both Kylie and Drake tell TMZ ... they are not spending any romantic time together, as other outlets have reported or speculated. We're told they've been at some events together -- including the rapper's recent 33rd birthday party -- simply because they are pals.

Their friendship has endured despite Drake's beef with Kylie's bro-in-law, Kanye West, but our sources add ... in no way, shape or form are they dating.

We're also told Kylie currently isn't seeing anyone at all and has no desire to do so ... she's happy for now just being a mom to Stormi.

We broke the story ... Kylie's still been spending a lot of time with Travis Scott since their split -- cohabiting at her crib and doing fun stuff with their daughter together. Our sources say they are maintaining a good friendship and plan on a lot of quality family time together during the upcoming holidays.

No word if Drake will be hanging with Kylie more too, but if he does ... we're assured it'll be platonic.

Chris Brown is having a massive yard sale in front of his house, to which he's invited the public, much to the chagrin of the LAPD ... and we've learned cops tried shutting it down using a law that doesn't exist.

The singer posted up his personal address in Tarzana, CA on Tuesday, announcing that he'd be selling off marked-down designer items -- some of which, presumably, belong to him personally. Well, cops caught wind of this and paid Chris a visit in an attempt to torpedo the event -- but they weren't successful in doing so ... 'cause Chris is still operating legally.

Sources close to Chris tell TMZ that an LAPD officer went to his home Tuesday telling his people they couldn't have a garage sale because they don't have a permit. Chris' lawyer got involved ... they called BS, and rightly so. Permits are not required in the City of L.A. where Chris lives.

Sources connected to Chris say they kept getting harassed. They say cops then tried to shut down the garage sale because of fear the crowds would be too large. But, so far there are only a few dozen people.

Thing is ... sources on the ground are telling us that things were chill Tuesday night, are still cool hours ahead of Chris opening the doors at 10 AM PT Wednesday. We're told that his team has announced they're letting folks in 10 at a time -- and there's already about 3 dozen heads lining the block, with about 6 or so police cruisers driving around patrolling.

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ ... they were concerned about "the impact [of the garage sale] on the community" and "the safety of the people who are there."

Billie Eilish has a perfectly good explanation for why she's rocking what appears to be the Joe Dirt look ... and an even better one for why it'll only be temporary. Sorry, mullet fans.

We got the goth pop singer Tuesday at LAX, where we asked her about the new haircut she debuted the day before at the LACMA Art + Film Gala in L.A. ... which turned out to be all the rage among her fans and fashion experts alike. Hey, folks love them some '80s nostalgia.

Welllll, unfortunately for all those people who were loving it ... Billie here has an update they might not be so happy to hear. It was a fluke to begin with, and it ain't stayin'.

BE gives up the backstory on how the mullet even came to be, and it sounds like a salon appointment gone majorly wrong. And yes, as soon as she can grow some of her follicles back to original length ... Billie says America's favorite trashiest 'do will be no more.

Michael Jackson's flashy socks from the first time he busted out his iconic moonwalk are hitting the auction block, but if you want 'em ... you'll have to foot a HUGE bill.

MJ's stage-worn, custom crystal stockings -- which he donned during his performance of "Billie Jean" in the 1983 TV special, "Motown 25: Yesterday, Today, Forever" -- are expected to haul in at least a million big ones, possibly up to $2 mil ... according to Gottahaverockandroll.com

The auction site's presenting the socks as part of its Frank DiLeo collection ... DiLeo's the late music exec who signed Jackson to Epic Records and managed him from 1984 to 1989 following the massive success of "Thriller."

Along with the socks comes the signed letter from Michael to Frank presenting the gift to him ... as a token of appreciation for keeping on his "toes" throughout MJ's famous Victory Tour.

We're told the package also comes with a letter from DiLeo's wife attesting Michael wore the socks for his debut moonwalk during the TV special ... along with a certificate of authenticity.

And if $1-2 million is too rich for your blood, the DiLeo collection's also going to feature original gold and platinum awards for "Thriller," "Dangerous," "Bad," "This Is It" and "Off the Wall" ... as well as a movie prop sign used in the 1988 film, "Moonwalker."

The auction runs from November 13-22.

Gucci Mane had a terrible night at the club -- he walked out to find his Ferrari missing from the parking lot, but eventually found it ... in a tow yard!!!

Here's the deal ... the Atlanta rapper was partying at Mr. Jones in Miami Beach when he parked his exotic car -- a Ferrari Superfast -- in a small lot behind the club. Unfortunately for Gucci, the whip got towed along with several other cars.

Gucci was LIVID after learning his $600k ride was hauled off on a tow truck -- for the car's sake, we hope it was a flatbed -- and things only got worse when Gucci got to the tow yard.

Even after locating the lock-up, he had a helluva time getting back his car. The big issue -- his ID was locked inside the Ferrari, and the tow yard folks were real sticklers for the rules. Watch ... there's zero celebrity favoritism here.

After an epic rant, Gucci relented and coughed up $300 to free the Ferrari. He took some time to inspect his whip for damage, just to make sure everything was ... y'know.

YK Osiris allegedly beat the crap out of his girlfriend at his own birthday party ... and now he's being held on a felony charge.

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ ... the singer was arrested Monday in Atlanta on a felony charge of aggravated assault by strangulation.

According to the police report ... YK Osiris' girlfriend told cops back in September she got into a physical altercation with the singer at his bday bash, which ended with him choking her and biting her face.

The woman says she confronted Osiris after seeing an image on his phone of another woman wearing nothing but a towel. The girlfriend claims they started yelling and Osiris said, "I am going to slap the s**t out of you."

Osiris' GF told cops he chased her up a set of stairs into a bathroom and that's when he choked her and bit her face. The woman claims she bit his lip to get him off her, and the fight was eventually broken up.

The police report says the woman had a noticeable mark under her left eye, where she claims she was bitten.

Osiris was denied bond after his arrest, and he's got a preliminary hearing later this month at the Fulton County Courthouse.

Ben Stiller wants to put you in his show, or send you to lunch with Bryan Cranston ... maybe hand you George Clooney's watch? Pay attention, it's all for a good cause.

Ben and a bunch of his celeb pals are recognizing Veterans Day by supporting Homes For Our Troops and raising funds with a huge online auction. Other items on the block include a guitar signed by Jon Bon Jovi, autographed scrubs from "Grey's Anatomy" and the spacesuit Ryan Reynolds wore in "Life."

The auction opens Thursday and it's being spearheaded by George, CNN's Jake Tapper and Wynonna Judd ... and a bunch of their famous pals are donating movie, music and sports memorabilia. Get in your bids before the November 17th deadline.

Megan Thee Stallion's taking the beef with her makeup artist to the next level -- she's threatening a lawsuit if the guy doesn't shut the hell up on social media!!!

The "Hot Girl Summer" rapper's lawyer, Dina LaPolt, fired off a cease and desist letter -- obtained by TMZ -- to Megan's makeup artist, Akil McCoy ... claiming he's violating his nondisclosure agreement by talking about his work with her.

The beef started when Akil called BS on Megan telling Vogue she did her own makeup. Akil blasted MTS on social media, commenting on her IG page. Her lawyers say that's a big no-no and he knows it.

In the letter/legal threat, Megan's team demands Akil delete his IG comment and stop blabbing about their professional relationship -- even if he's saying something positive.

Imagine Dragons frontman Dan Reynolds got himself a new band -- or at least he did for one night, with one lucky group of musicians who were playing in the right place at the right time.

This video is pretty wild ... it all went down in Las Vegas last Thursday, Halloween, when Dan happened to be out trick-or-treating with his wife and 4 kids. During their hunt for candy around their hometown, we're told Dan and the fam stumbled upon a 3-man band -- dubbed Streetfolkband -- playing in their driveway.

Of course, the guys immediately recognized Dan and shot their shot ... asking him if he'd do the honors and jam with them. We're told Dan wanted to know if they knew any Imagine Dragons. Ha! They quickly responded with the 2013 Grammy-winning track "Radioactive."

And, Dan didn't just play a snippet. He rocked for the entire track -- while holding his toddler, mind you -- and gave a breathtaking performance soaked up by a pleased crowd.

Pretty cool moments throughout this vid -- from the lead guitarist's face lighting up after Dan belts out his first verse to Dan turning down the guitarist's high-five, in favor of a hug.

21 Savage is a prisoner of America's immigration system -- he's facing deportation, he can't leave the country, his ability to make a living is severely impaired and he doesn't even have a court date.

As TMZ reported ... Savage was arrested in Atlanta back in February and placed in ICE custody. Turns out he entered the U.S. legally from the UK back in 2005, but his visa expired and he's been here illegally for years.

The rapper wasn't even able to get a work permit for 8 months, which meant he couldn't work domestically. He finally got one last month, so at least now he can work in the U.S. ... but traveling out of the country is out of the question until he gets things cleared up with immigration.

As you know, selling records doesn't cut it anymore, so artists make their money by doing concerts, and every country out of the U.S. is off-limits to him.

Here's the underlying problem ... we're told immigration courts in the ATL are ridiculously overcrowded with hundreds of backlogged cases. There are people who have gotten court dates for 2022. Savage hasn't even gotten a court date, so it could take years to resolve his case.

Little did we know the slow-turning wheels of American bureaucracy have been screwing him over behind the scenes. Kinda opens your eyes, huh?

Steve Aoki's latest collab is his sweetest one yet ... because it provided some serious inspiration to a Wish Kid who wants to be a DJ when he grows up too.

Aoki invited 6-year-old Jamar -- who goes by his nickname, DJ Masterpiece -- to visit his Las Vegas home for a playdate and a piano duet ... along with a private tour of his mansion and some fun in Aoki's Playhouse.

Thanks to the Kids Wish Network -- a charity that grants wishes to children with life-threatening illnesses -- Jamar and his family were flown to Vegas to spend some time with Steve ... and the aspiring DJ definitely learned a thing or 2 from the famous one.

The new pals also signed each other's custom matching DJ Masterpiece t-shirts, and Jamar got to let loose in Aoki's fun home gym ... equipped with a floor trampoline for some leaps into a massive foam pit.

We're told Steve also had some Aoki swag for Jamar and his family, and he's got a big surprise in store for DJ Masterpiece to encourage his love of music ... and it's certain to make the kid happy.

RZA is stoked to see the guys from Rage Against the Machine rocking again -- but he wants to see another reunion that involves them and his Wu-Tang Clan.

We got the Wu leader at LAX and asked how he felt about Tom Morello and Zack de la Rocha putting their band back together to hit the road and play Coachella. RZA says it's the perfect time for their return, 'cause there's plenty to rage about these days.

He also brought up some unfinished biz with Rage that he wants to address -- wrapping up the tour their groups weren't able to complete 20 years ago!!!

Yes, believe it or not ... the Wu-Tang Clan actually got its touring feet wet with a co-headlining national tour with Rage Against the Machine back in 1997 ... but it was cut short after RZA and the fellas pulled out due to internal conflict among its members.

Welp ... RZA says he wants to run it back and finish out what they couldn't all those years ago. In fact, he's already got a point of contact on how to pull it off.

Rapper Gorilla Zoe flew into a violent rage and ended up getting arrested for domestic violence over the weekend ... this according to cops.

Gorilla Zoe was busted early Sunday morning in Monroe County, Florida after security at La Siesta Resort called cops to say they saw Zoe get physical with a woman on his hotel room balcony.

According to the police report ... hotel security claims Zoe was trying to shove his GF into the room. When she refused, he allegedly pushed her to the ground. Cops say she eventually managed to get away and lock him out on the balcony.

Zoe then started punching and kicking the glass door ... according to witnesses, and the woman let him back into the room. At that point, cops arrived looked into the hotel room window and saw Zoe pinning down his girlfriend.

Cops broke things up, and Zoe got off her, but she immediately started to defend him. She told the responding officers, "We always drink and argue, nothing more. He's never gotten physical with me. Isn't that what happens when everyone drinks?"

She also told them he "always become crazy aggressive like" when he's drinking, but added he would never harm her physically. Officers say she didn't have any noticeable injuries.

Zoe was arrested for domestic battery, and while he was being booked played the rapper card. Cops say he told them he was a nice guy and, "My name is Gorilla Zoe you know me I'm a rapper."

He was released an hour later after posting a $2,500 bond.
