Tekashi69 is adding more fuel to the fire in his war with fellow rapper Chief Keef, this time by taking Keef's baby mama, Slim Danger, out on a $75k shopping spree at Gucci for her birthday.

Tekashi posted a clip at the Gucci store in NYC with stacks in his hand and Slim, who calls out Keef as a deadbeat dad in the clip. "If you don't know how to take care of your girl, n***as gonna take care of her for you," 6ix9ine chimes in. He later copped a feel too.

We're told the two happened to run into one another while Slim was in town to celebrate her bday. She's cool with Tekashi's Tr3way family, so Tekashi took her shopping to celebrate.

Slim made off with a fanny pack, sunglasses, wallet, and a dress ... totaling more than $75k. Unclear if she got to keep the giant 69 chain around her neck.

As we previously reported ... the two rappers have ongoing beef that's been going back and forth on social media, and doesn't look like Tekashi's squashing it anytime soon.

Your move, Keef.

Hailey Baldwin has seemingly made Justin Bieber the happiest we've seen him in a while ... so much so, JB's back to chatting up fans and paps.

Justin and Hailey were leaving dinner at Cecconi's Tuesday night in Brooklyn walking arm-in-arm ... and getting bombarded by fans and photogs. Hailey made for a quick escape into their waiting car, but Biebs was super friendly -- talking to fans, photogs -- and even taking a trip down memory lane with some locals.

The two, who dated briefly in 2015, were first spotted back together in Miami over the weekend. Looks like they can't quit each other now that their romance has moved to the Big Apple.

It's cool though ... we like this Justin a lot more.

Jamie Foxx is being accused of slapping a woman with his penis nearly 16 years ago, and although she's now gone to police ... Foxx says it's an "absurd" lie, and he's going after her, legally ... TMZ has learned.

The alleged assault happened in Las Vegas back in 2002. According to law enforcement, the accuser told cops last week she and a friend were attending a party at Jamie's place when he tried to get her to perform oral sex. She claims when she refused, Jamie struck her in the face with his penis.

The accuser tells us ... after the alleged assault, one of Jamie's friends told her she had to get out of the house. She claims she went to a hospital the next day when she got back home to L.A. to get treatment for a severe panic attack.

Law enforcement sources tell us Vegas PD lists the case as an open investigation. However, the statute of limitations has long since run -- it's 3 years in Nevada.

Jamie's attorney, Allison Hart of Lavely & Singer, tells TMZ ... "Jamie emphatically denies that this incident ever occurred, and he will be filing a report with the Las Vegas Police Department against the woman for filing a false police report against him. The first time [Jamie] became aware of this woman's absurd claims about an incident that supposedly occurred 16 years ago was when TMZ contacted his representatives [Tuesday] about this story."

Hart adds, "The alleged incident was not reported to law enforcement in 2002, or at any other time in the last 16 years until last Friday because the incident never happened."

Some real talk from UFC rising star Sean O'Malley ... who tells TMZ Sports he's a BIG fan of Wiz Khalifa, but knows the dude would get crushed if he took a real UFC fight.

Remember, Wiz has been training like crazy at Jay Glazer's Unbreakable gym -- and even UFC champ Tyron Woodley says he's been very impressed with the rapper's fighting skills.

In fact, Wiz told us he believes he could compete in a pro MMA fight -- but won't do it unless someone offers a TON of cash.

But, O'Malley says when push comes to shove ... Wiz has "no chance" in a real UFC fight and gives the hard truth about why Khalifa would get smoked for real.

It's not personal, O'Malley's just being honest ... and tells us he still REALLY wants to smoke with Wiz.

There's more ... O'Malley also updates us on his recovery from his foot injury and tells us why he's become a force to be reckoned with when it comes to Fortnite.

Lil Tay going off the radar after being exposed as an exploited child star is only temporary -- 'cause she's got another persona cooking in the kitchen ... so says a family friend.

We got Alex Gelbard -- who used to help manage Tay when she was hot stuff -- out in L.A. Tuesday, and he tells us Tay will be back with something "unique" and different from what fans came to know from the 9-year-old flex rapper.

In case you missed the Tay saga, she and her fam were put on blast after her 'GMA' appearance last month when tons of videos leaked of her being coached, and given what appeared to be hookah to smoke. She's deleted all social media since.

Not only that ... but Tay was found to be a full-on fraud after it was revealed her mom was using her boss's fancy car and her real estate listings to pump up her daughter's profile.

Backpack Kid's signature dance, the Floss, is already immortalized in Fortnite ... and, while he says he never got a penny from the game, he's not sweatin' it -- 'cause he's banking on a new dance.

BK, aka Russell Horning, was at Tuesday's first ever E3 Celebrity Pro-Am, where celebs like Pete Wentz and EDM DJ Marshmello squared off for $1 million jackpot for charity.

The video game is worth about a billion dollars and featured Russell's moves, but his moves were retired when the new season of the video game launched.

Fortnite never cut Russell, who's 16, a check for the feature, but Russell says he could care less because it was a huge honor, and he's already moved on to a new dance he's aptly calling "The Money Dance." He gave us a preview.

Lil Yachty is ready to give Hollywood a shot, and already knows his dream role ... if he could just get Donald Glover to put him on his hit show, "Atlanta."

We got the ATL-born rapper Tuesday at the Fortnite Pro-Am tournament near DTLA, where we broke the news to him that "Atlanta" got renewed for a 3rd season.

Yachty told us he was supposed to guest star in season 1 -- but, for some reason, things fell through ... and he's been dying to get on ever since. He says he "annoys" Glover about it whenever he sees him now. No dice so far, though.

As for what kind of character he'd like to play, Yachty says anything but a rapper. And by anything ... he could mean drug dealers, drug addicts, goons and the like.

Joel McHale is so impressed by how much Pete Davidson spent on Ariana Grande's engagement ring ... he's lobbying for an 'SNL' gig. Jokingly. We think.

We got Joel at the Fortnite Pro-Am tournament near downtown L.A. -- he was paired with Markiplier, for you Fortnite heads. Anyway, we broke the Ariana-Pete engagement news to Joel, and you gotta see his reaction. The $93k price tag for the ring really did blow him away.

Unlike some naysayers, Joel told us the couple's young age -- they're both 24 -- isn't necessarily a bad thing. He's got a great example.

Pete Davidson donned Ariana Grande's signature bunny mask during an 'SNL' sketch in late 2017 ... perhaps letting the world in on the secret he was already feeling the singer, even though he was in a different relationship at the time.

Pete rocked a suit and Ariana's mask for a masquerade ball sketch that aired in November. At the time, Pete was a year and a half into his relationship with Larry David's daughter, Cazzie.

He confirmed their split last month -- shortly after Ariana and Mac went public with their breakup -- and, in the short period of time since then, Ariana and Pete announced they were dating and got engaged.

It's still unclear when exactly Pete and Ariana started dating, but one thing's for sure ... they haven't been shy about flaunting their love since then ... and he wasn't shy with his dough when he popped the question.

As we first reported, PD dropped nearly $100k for Ariana's custom engagement ring.

Lil Boosie says he's got no problem with Kim Kardashian meeting President Trump to discuss prison reform, and as an ex-inmate himself ... he's sure other prisoners would back her efforts too.

We got Boosie Tuesday at Atlanta's Lenox Square Mall and he joked about why Kim's the perfect spokesperson for unjustly convicted inmates -- something about many of them enjoying her body of work.

On a serious note, he applauded her impassioned efforts to get Alice Marie Johnson's sentence commuted, and it seems she's inspired him. Boosie, who's admittedly not a Trump fan, told us he'd even be down to do his part -- with one caveat.

T.I. will need to dive into his own pockets to pay the unpaid wages of his restaurant employees who lost their jobs when it closed its doors.

Tip just settled with 9 of 11 employees who went after him after his Scales 925 shut down in 2016. Each will get $8,333.33 in unpaid money ... totaling about $75,000. The rapper is also on the hook for another $25,000 in attorney's fees -- do the math and it's right around $100,000.

As for his part -- T.I. claimed he wasn't a bad restaurant owner -- he says he put a manager in charge who siphoned money to line his own pockets.

2:37 PM PT -- Law enforcement sources tell TMZ ... cops responded to a call around 1 AM from a woman claiming Trippie Redd pistol-whipped her. Cops say they noticed a bump on the woman's head where she said she was struck, prompting cops to arrest Trippie Redd.

Rapper Trippie Redd apparently has some heavy hands ... because he's been arrested a second time in less than a month ... and again for an alleged assault.

The rapper was busted by Atlanta PD on Tuesday and is currently being held in Fulton County Jail. According to law enforcement ... Trippie was booked for aggravated assault and battery causing substantial physical harm. We're told he's currently being processed right now.

It's unclear who Trippie allegedly assaulted or what triggered it. TMZ broke the story ... Trippie and his friend, Lil Wop, were arrested 2 weeks ago after he allegedly jumped a local rapper.

Ariana Grande and Pete Davidson upped the happiness factor even more after their speedy engagement by heading to the Happiest Place on Earth ... Disneyland!!

The singer and 'SNL' cast member caught everyone by surprise Monday with the news they are getting hitched, especially since they've only been dating for a little over a month. Both were still linked to their previous significant others as recently as last month.

Hours later, after the engagement news broke, they were cruising on Big Thunder Mountain Railroad at Disneyland. They were having a blast and holding tight onto each other's hands, and Ariana posted several videos of Davidson screaming his head off on the ride.

Ice Cube, Clyde Drexler and BIG3 league execs are currently taking part in high-level discussions to start a BIG3 league in China ... TMZ Sports has learned.

Here's the deal ... Cube, HOFer-turned-BIG3-commish Drexler and other officials are in Beijing as part of a 3-day trip to announce that the league will play exhibition games in China.

It's pretty cool ... after the upcoming BIG3 season ends, players and coaches will travel to China and hoop in exhibition games with players from China's 3-on-3 league, the JYB -- started by Taiwanese star Jay Chou.

But, that ain't the end game ... we're told it's only the 1st of a 2-part plan.

Step 2?

An entirely new BIG3 League in China ... that'll tour the country.

Bono spoke for Anthony Bourdain's fans, friends and most likely his family too when he dedicated a song -- about another celebrity suicide -- to the beloved author and TV host.

U2 played an invitation-only show at the Apollo Theater Monday night and during the gig Bono addressed the deaths of Bourdain, Kate Spade and several other rock stars in the last year.

He said, "Music lost some great people who gave up on their own life, and that makes it kinda harder. Fashion and now this great storyteller, who I'm sure had stories he couldn't tell us."

Chance the Rapper threw hundreds of kids into hysteria ... not with his own performance, but by bringing surprise guest Donald Glover into the mix at a Chicago talent show.

Chance emceed an event Monday night called OpenMike for Chi-Town high schoolers and, when he said his next guest needed no introduction ... and the "This Is America" beat dropped ... the kids totally flipped!

The kids in the crowd knew exactly what to do when they saw Childish Gambino hit the stage ... they rushed up to the front and sang along with every line of the song through the performance. Hard to tell if they nailed all of Donald's dance moves, though.
