Shaquille O'Neal got an ENTIRE nightclub to chant "Barkley Sucks" during a DJ gig in D.C. -- and the trolling didn't stop there!

Shaq was performing at Echostage as DJ Diesel -- when he decided to clown his "Inside the NBA" co-host with a giant projection on the back wall that read, "Barkley Has NO Ring!"

Shaq clapped along gleefully as the place went crazy!

Of course, Shaq and Chuck are really tight in real life -- so, it's all in good fun.

Now, it's on Barkley to get even ...

Of course, it's not the first time Shaq went off on an NBA star in a nightclub -- back in the day, he freestyled the infamous "Kobe, tell me how my ass tastes" verse during his rift with his Lakers teammate.

Both Shaq and Kobe have said they've made up and they're on good terms now.

Michelle Obama didn't just crash Jay-Z and Beyonce's Sunday concert at Paris' Stade de France, she cut a rug with Bey's mom, Tina Knowles, in the best seats in the house.

The former First Lady was there with both daughters, Sasha and Malia, and it doesn't look like she embarrassed them too much with her dance moves. Malia also brought her boyfriend. No sign of Barack ... because he's in Kenya.

Eddie Money's no "American Idol" judge, but he damn sure knows a good voice when he hears one ... even at the airport.

We got the "Two Tickets to Paradise" singer at LAX on Sunday when we introduced Eddie to LAX employee Tahjanae Johnson. We tell Eddie she's got a beautiful singing voice ... and Tahjanae wastes no time showcasing her chops.

Cardi B's baby girl won't make her public debut if her mama gets her way because, despite a flood of offers from media outlets ... she's keeping Kulture under wraps.

Sources close to Cardi tell TMZ ... multiple magazines, websites and photo agencies have reached out with offers for Kulture's first photo shoot. We're told the offers have been in the $100k neighborhood or higher.

Cardi and Offset have no desire to make a deal ... yet. We're told they won't even consider it until their daughter's at least 5 or 6 months old.

Tekashi69 is a free man -- for now -- after posting bail.

69 was behind bars in New York after NYPD hooked him up over a misdemeanor battery charge for allegedly roughing up a kid in Harris County, Texas.

He was taken to Rikers where he was awaiting extradition, but the judge allowed him to post $150k bail with the promise he'd fly back to Harris County and surrender himself.

Tekashi was true to his word, flying to TX over the weekend and showing up just after midnight Monday with his attorney Carl Moore where he surrendered, posted $5k bail and walked out. The rapper was dressed in a white dress shirt and pink tie.

His arraignment is set for Friday but we're hearing he may be in court Monday morning ... it's unclear why he'd have to show up before the arraignment.

The misdemeanor carries a maximum of 1 year in jail.

T.I.'s argument with a security guard in his gated community has amped up ... he's been charged with 3 misdemeanors.

Prosecutors in Henry County charged the rapper with simple assault, public drunkenness and disorderly conduct stemming from his arrest back in May, when a security guard refused to let him into the premises. T.I.'s lawyer, Steve Sadow, tells TMZ the charges are "baseless, ill-founded and unjustified."

A source with direct knowledge of the case tells us ... T.I. likely faces no jail time.

Sadow also says the security guard, Euwan James, "was fired for the way he handled the situation with T.I.," in a statement that was first reported by the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.

As we first reported ... the security guard called 911 and said Tip was threatening him and asking him to step outside of the guard shack. T.I. was adamant he did not deserve to get arrested ... saying as much to cops.

Rae Sremmurd didn't see it coming -- getting bum-rushed onstage by a dude who also never saw the HARD TACKLE that came after his very poor decision.

The incident went down Saturday night at the Ottawa Bluesfest music festival in Canada as the group was in the middle of performing its hit song, "Guatemala." You can see a line of security in front of the stage, but somehow this guy managed to elude them all and make his way onstage.

Almost right away you know it's a bad idea. The crasher at first tries getting a selfie ... but his ass gets rejected, and then comes the blindside tackle. The guy's subdued and the concert seems to go on without a hitch.

When will crashers learn ... it never ends well. Never.

G-Eazy is taking the silent route when it comes to his failed relationship with singer Halsey.

We got Gerald at LAX Sunday where he looked like he was in a chipper mood until our camera guy started asking about his ex.

The two broke up abruptly a couple of weeks ago after dating for almost a year. Halsey recently hinted he cheated on her over Twitter.

G-Eazy was reportedly spotted leaving Warwick in L.A. Saturday night with Demi Lovato -- but we've learned the two were not together.

Beyonce and Jay-Z's close relationship with the Obamas is still going strong, now in full flex across the pond ... with Michelle and Sasha crashing the couple's concert in France.

The former First Lady and kid were spotted in the stands Sunday at the Stade de France stadium, where Bey and Jay are performing as part of their "On the Run II" tour.

Michelle even went beyond the front row barricades, standing alongside Beyonce's mom, Tina Knowles ... and getting her groove on as Jay rapped onstage. As mothers to very important people ... they looked like quite the duo shoulder-to-shoulder.

No sign of Barack or Malia here, but the Obama family was definitely well represented. It's no surprise they're there either -- Michelle and her 2 daughters did the same back in 2014, when B&J were performing in Chicago.

Seems like they like to catch 'em when they can. Who wouldn't?

Taylor Swift opened up to her fans during a concert this weekend, but not in her lyrics ... more like her stream of consciousness during a brief stage malfunction.

The "Delicate" singer was doing a show Saturday night at Philly's Lincoln Financial Field, when she experienced some technical difficulties with her suspended basket mid-air.

And forget trying to cover it up ... Taylor let the audience know things were getting screwed up in real time. Even as the stage crew tried figuring out what was wrong, she filled folks in every step of the way. Talk about a no-filter heart-to-heart with your base.

Tay eventually got into another cage, which took her across the stadium as originally planned -- but not before killing time with a little a cappella crooning. The crowd ate it up, obviously.

If Ludacris had run out of places to lay his head inside his Bahamas vacation house, he had no need to worry, because there was a 400-square-foot elevated daybed outside waiting for him by the pool.

Luda just crashed at the Ananda Estate on the island of Eleuthera. Sources tell us he was there for at least a couple of nights.

The sprawling, 4-bedroom beachfront home is currently on sale for $10 million and rents for $3,600/night.

It comes with an SUV, an ATV, 2 jet skis and a personal chef. There are also two chill spots next to the pool ... one with that huge daybed, and another with a sunken kitchen near a giant Buddha fountain.

As for that 50 ft. infinity pool, seems like it'd be really hard to get out of ... and Ludacris looks like he agrees.

Mac Miller's new song is seemingly about relationship troubles, but it has nothing to do with his split with Ariana Grande ... TMZ has learned.

Mac dropped "Self Care" Friday ... a single with lyrics that include, "Well, didn't know what I was missing. Now I see a lil' different. We play it cool. We know we f***ed up, yeah. You keep on sayin' you in love, so? Tell me are you really down?"

Fans and reports were quick to connect the lyrics to Mac's split with Ariana a couple months ago. However, our sources say Mac wrote, produced and completed the track last year.

As we've reported -- Ariana is engaged to SNL comedian Pete Davidson -- the two even went in on a massive NYC condo together.

Grimes had a bizarre, unwanted visitor show up in her backyard -- wearing a cape, no less -- and now the man's been ordered to stay away from her.

According to new legal docs ... the singer and reported girlfriend of Elon Musk had an intruder at her home on July 10 named Raymond Barrajas. He allegedly scaled a hill at the back of her house while wearing a weird costume and carrying 3 computer mice.

The docs say he yelled out that he needed to see Grimes so he could "take her on a ride." She wasn't home, but her brother was and called 911. When cops arrived, Barrajas was still in the backyard and was yelling, "I'm a black man, shoot me."

According to the docs ... he was taken into custody and placed on a psychiatric hold. Grimes is worried the man has a delusional fixation on her and that he believes she is sending him messages through her music ... so she went to court to get protection from him.

Tekashi69's lawyers just scored him a sweet deal that's getting him out of his Rikers Island jail cell a week early ... TMZ has learned.

The rapper's been granted bail and, once he pays $150k, he'll be released -- but there's a string attached. He MUST surrender Monday in Harris County, TX to pay $5,000 bail there.

TMZ broke the story ... 6ix9ine was arrested in NYC earlier this week for an outstanding warrant out of Harris County, where he allegedly choked a 16-year-old back in January.

On Thursday, a NY judge refused to grant him bail, saying he was a flight risk -- but Tekashi's lawyers first got Texas prosecutors to agree to a bail amount and then, during an emergency hearing in NYC, a judge granted him bail there.

As we reported, Tekashi was going to be held in NYC until July 20, when Texas officials planned to extradite him.

We're told he'll be released once his $150k bail payment is processed.

Tekashi69 has been transferred to a high-security facility on Rikers Island known as the Contagious Disease Unit, ironically, to keep him in good health ... TMZ has learned.

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ ... the rapper was sent to the 140-cell portion of the NY jail, which is mainly used to house inmates battling illness. It's also used to house high-profile or celebrity inmates who, for their own safety, can't be in general population -- and Tekashi falls under that category.

We're told 6ix9ine is being held in isolation, and will have ZERO contact with other inmates ... even when he's taken outside for his hour of recreation. Inside the facility he'll only have contact with correctional officers.

Carl Lentz -- the pastor at the Hillsong church who was inseparable from Justin Bieber -- appeared to have trouble congratulating Justin on his engagement, and we're told it's because the 2 have had a major falling out.

Lentz was in Sydney, Australia Friday when the photog asked about Bieber, and it's pretty clear Lentz was uncomfortable.

Sources connected to Bieber tell TMZ ... Justin became angry at Lentz a while ago and broke ties with the pastor.

Justin and his fiancee, Hailey Baldwin, have both been active members of Hillsong and continue to patronize the church but, at least as far as Justin is concerned ... Carl is history.

We contacted Lentz, who told us he will not comment on his personal relationship with Bieber.
