8:17 PM PT -- Drake just brought Meek out and as expected, the crowd went insane. Beef officially squashed

It might seem like a long, long time ago when there was no greater beef in the hip hop world than Drake vs. Meek Mill, but tonight that's all officially ancient history ... TMZ has learned.

Sources close to Meek tell us ... the rapper will join Drake on stage during his show at Boston's TD Garden Saturday night. Drake is currently touring with Migos, and we're told Meek's set to go on in a matter of minutes.

As you'll recall ... the 2 rappers went at it in 2015 after Meek criticized Drizzy and accused him of using ghostwriters. Drake responded with a couple diss tracks, including the huge hit "Back to Back."

Since then, Meek's gone to prison and been released, and publicly stated his beef with Drake was over in May because Drake supported his release. Still, the 2 haven't got together to officially squash it ... 'til now.

BTW, Meek's friend and Sixers co-owner Michael Rubin -- who played a big part in helping him get released from prison -- is stoked about the rappers performing together too ... and shared this pic of Meek's wrist with his credentials.

Ariana Grande just responded to the tragic death of her ex-boyfriend Mac Miller, by sharing a photo of the late rapper looking up at the person taking it ... which appears to be her.

Ariana's been silent since TMZ first broke the news Friday -- Miller died at his San Fernando Valley home from an apparent overdose. While Grande still hasn't spoken, she's clearly paying tribute to her ex in the photo ... which appears to include her feet in the shot.

Ariana and Mac were friends for years and went public they were in a relationship in 2016. He was with her during the tragic event in Manchester, England when a terrorist killed 22 people with a bomb at her concert.

The 2 split in May, and it was revealed he was battling substance abuse issues. He was arrested for a DUI and hit and run shortly after their breakup, and Ariana tweeted "Pls take care of yourself."

Nicki Minaj isn't going to the cops after Cardi B went after her at a New York Fashion Week party Friday night ... because it really didn't bother her at all.

Sources close to "Chun-Li" rapper tell TMZ ... even though Cardi's shoe-throwing attack at the Harper's Bazaar party Friday night was a shock -- her security handled it and Nicki was totally fine.

We're told Minaj was unscathed and nobody on her team was injured either ... so she sees no reason to file a police report and carry on with the drama.

As for Cardi -- who was left with a lump on her head after the ruckus she started -- law enforcement tells us she hasn't filed a police report either. People connected to Cardi told us they believe she got the lump from being elbowed by someone on Nicki's security.

We broke the story ... Cardi reached a breaking point after Nicki making comments about her fitness as a mom. Judging from Cardi's own words, she was looking for a fight. She never made contact, either with her fists or her shoe.

NBA YoungBoy gave a fan who allegedly chucked something at him a taste of his own medicine ... by having his security chuck the guy off the stage!

The rapper was performing at the Skyway Theatre in Minneapolis Friday night when we're told the young man tossed an object at him. So, NBA's security went into the crowd, grabbed the guy and forcefully yanked him on stage.

In the video, YoungBoy confronts the guy and asks him if he threw something at him. Then, at the crowd's urging, he has one of his bodyguards throw the guy back into the crowd like a rag doll.

Kanye West gave the folks at the Ralph Lauren party an ultimatum -- kick a certain reporter out of the event, or he'll book it.

Kanye was on the red carpet at the Ralph Lauren 50th Anniversary Fashion Show in Central Park Friday night, when one of his handlers delivered the threat to what looks like an event organizier.

Kanye then jumped in and made it clear ... he wanted the reporter in question out of the joint, STAT.

We're told the beef was over a question the reporter asked about the feud between Kim Kardashian and Tyson Beckford. Remember last month, when Tyson shaded Kim over her body and Kim fired back by saying, "Sis we all know why you don't care for it" ... lots of people took that as a homophobic slur.

The reporter made a hasty exit before she could get kicked out.

Meanwhile, back at the ranch, Tyson was at the Plaza -- yep, where Cardi B attacked Nicki Minaj -- and said he didn't see the fight, but decided to say this ... "I carry a gun. I'm not allowed to get in fights."

Nicki Minaj was clearly not the worse for wear as she left the Plaza hotel in NYC Friday night, after her epic showdown with Cardi B.

Nicki looked unfazed as she sauntered to her SUV, blowing kisses to the crowd.

TMZ broke the story ... Cardi attacked Nicki -- at least she tried -- and ended up with a big ol' lump on her forehead.

Nicki was cool as a cucumber during the confrontation ... never leaving her seat at the table during the Harper's Bazaar party during New York Fashion Week.

Kodak Black was off the rails Friday night as he left a Hollywood club.

If anyone can figure out what he's talking about, please contact us STAT, but whatever it is ... it's got the rapper all hot and bothered.

As he roamed the street screaming nonsense, a cop started trailing him, but in the end Kodak left without incident.

As we reported, Kodak got sprung from jail last month after serving 7 months for a probation violation.

Cardi B says the strip club workers alleging she ordered her crew to beat the crap out of them are full of it ... claiming the women are just trying to get famous off her and her husband.

Sources close to Cardi and Offset tell TMZ ... she strongly denies having a hand in an attack of the 2 club bartenders and sisters -- Jade and Baddie Gi -- at Angels Strip Club in NYC last week.

We're told Cardi says she not only didn't order any beatdown, she wasn't involved at all ... and definitely didn't throw a bottle at them as the sisters claim.

And, there's this -- our Cardi and Offset sources say the rumors of him cheating on her with Jade are BS ... the couple believes both women are just "clout chasers," trying to get some pub by making up stories.

As we reported ... the 2 women hired lawyer Joe Tacopina, and they're mulling over filing a lawsuit against Cardi and others. Tacopina also told us both of his clients were going to file a police report about the incident and name Cardi B.

Video from the night in question does show Cardi at the club, but there's no footage of the alleged attack on the bartenders.

Post Malone's understandably devastated over the shocking death of his friend and fellow rapper, Mac Miller ... because like he says -- it really f***ing sucks.

We talked to Post in Beverly Hills Friday shortly after the tragic news of Miller's death broke ... he tells us he's really going to miss him, and that he was nothing but a beautiful, sweet and loving guy.

The rapper says he listened to Mac's music growing up and was greatly inspired by him ... and the 2 even had plans to make an album together. Post fights back tears telling us about some of his favorite memories ... like kicking ass with Miller at beer pong.

We broke the story ... Miller was found dead in a bedroom at his San Fernando Valley home from an apparent overdose.

His family released a statement saying, Mac "was a bright light in this world for his family, friends and fans. Thank you for your prayers."

Mac Miller died Friday of an apparent overdose ... TMZ has learned.

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ ... Mac was found Friday around noon in a bedroom at his San Fernando Valley home, and he was pronounced dead at the scene.

We're told authorities were alerted by a male friend who placed a 911 call from Mac's home. The emergency dispatch audio reveals first responders were called for a patient in cardiac arrest.

And there's this ... in a doc made a few years ago, Mac said, "I'd rather be the corny white rapper than the drugged-out mess who can't even get out of his house. Overdosing is just not cool. You don't go down in history because you overdose. You just die."

Miller has battled substance abuse issues for years ... something that came up again in the wake of his breakup with Ariana Grande. The rapper wrecked his G-Wagon by wrapping it around a utility pole back in May and was arrested for DUI and hit and run. He fled the scene but cops say he later confessed at his home. He blew 2 times the legal limit.

After his arrest Ariana tweeted, "Pls take care of yourself" and was clearly concerned about substance abuse.

After their breakup, Ariana made it clear ... his substance abuse had been a deal breaker in their 2-year relationship.

The tragic news of rapper Mac Miller's fatal OD on Friday afternoon has shocked the world, and celebrities' tweets of grief and prayers have been pouring in. See some of the their reactions below.

Ty Dolla $ign wasn't the only celeb present during his drug bust ... turns out Skrillex was there too.

Atlanta PD just released its body cam footage from the rapper's arrest earlier this week, and it shows an officer on foot patrol telling another officer he smelled weed, but nobody had gotten out of the limo.

Cops ultimately got everyone out of the vehicle ... with Dolla and Skrillex as the second and third passengers to step out. You can see Dolla tell cops he had been smoking weed earlier. Cops asked if anyone has anything on them but no one admits to the weed and that's when cops start patting them down.

The famed DJ was polite with cops and he even smirks a bit. The whole group was thoroughly searched. Skrillex had nothing on him. Moments later, you hear a cop searching the limo say, "cuff him" and that's when Dolla's placed under arrest.

Cardi B wants to join forces with Kim Kardashian West ... as her vice president!!!

We got Cardi outside The London NYC on Thursday and asked about Offset's hope for a potential Kim K presidential run ... and Cardi reveals Kim's been thinking about politics for some time.

She strongly insinuates she and Kim talked about the presidency, and tells us that's the real reason why Offset says he'd vote for KKW.

Cardi and Kim kicked it back in early August, so we're thinking that's when they chopped it up about politics. Kris Jenner was there too, and you know she's always got something in the works.

Your eyes didn't deceive you. Yes, that's Offset working the runway at New York Fashion Week!!!

Offset was looking bad and boujee as he modeled during the Jeremy Scott Fashion Show ... and Cardi B was there supporting her baby daddy!

Offset is well on his way to becoming a triple threat. He's got the rap game on lock, and even has an acting credit to his name. Now we know he can model. Cardi B struck gold!

Quavo pulled up too, rocking some flashy gear and tons of ice as he watched his cousin's biggest modeling gig to date.

Offset looked at ease on the runway, but Cardi B's rival, Nicki Minaj, had a wardrobe malfunction at the Daily Front Row's Fashion Media Awards.

Post Malone got a THIRD lease on life in the early hours of Friday morning ... after walking away unscathed after a scary car crash.

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ ... the rapper was a passenger in his Rolls-Royce Friday in WeHo at 2:40 AM when a Kia T-boned the Rolls on the driver's side.

Moments after the crash, Post told us the Kia hit them out of nowhere ... causing the Rolls-Royce to spin out of control. Photos back up his version.

We're told no drugs or alcohol played a role in the crash. There were no injuries ... unless you count Post's psyche. After the crash, the rapper said (and later tweeted), "God must hate me."

The crash, of course, comes a mere 17 days after his private jet blew 2 tires after takeoff from Teterboro Airport in New Jersey and seemingly circled for hours to burn fuel before making an emergency landing. Post said afterward he was thrilled to be alive.

TMZ shot Post hours before the car crash at Petit restaurant celebrating the birthday of his manager, Dre London.

Post's seemed physically fine post-crash ... he hit up a house party with rapper Trippie Redd. Surviving a brush with death -- twice -- is reason to party.

BTW ... special moment after the crash between Post and a pap, who made the rapper happy as hell when he recovered the Rolls-Royce hood ornament that flew off after the crash.

Kanye West has taken his talents to the XXX screen -- he's the creative director for the Pornhub Awards -- and he's got his hand in just about every aspect of the show.

Thursday night's inaugural show will be presented in VR live from The Belasco Theater in L.A. We've learned Kanye and his creative house DONDA have partnered with Willo Perron -- who has worked on some of the biggest tours in music -- will manage the show's production and stage design.

Kanye is also set to premiere a new single and music video with Lil Pump called "I Love It." The video is executive produced by Spike Jonze -- who Kanye's collabed with a ton in the past on projects like "Only One," "Otis" and "Flashing Lights" -- and co-directed by Kanye.

And, get this -- Ye will incorporate his clothing brand too -- all of Thursday night's performers will be decked out in Yeezy gear.
