El presidente Joe Biden dijo una vez a los votantes afroamericanos "No sois negros" si no votáis por él, pero debido a su desconocimiento de LL Cool J ... La supuesta Tarjeta Negra de Biden está ahora en entredicho.

El pionero del hip hop fue honrado en la Conferencia Legislativa anual de la Fundación del Caucus Negro del Congreso durante el fin de semana y el Presi vivió una de sus peores meteduras de pata llamándolo "LL J Cool J".

Para empeorar las cosas, cuando Biden trató de recuperarse de ese error, se refirió a LL como "niño" generando cringe entre los espectadores. También trató de arreglar ese error...

Salió así: "Por cierto, ese niño... ese hombre tiene los bíceps más grandes que mis muslos". Madre mía Joe😬.

Los republicanos están usando la metedura de pata verbal como un golpe político pero Charlamagne piensa que es un golpe cultural, dándole al Comandante en Jefe y a su equipo de redacción el titulo de "Burro del Día".

Como señala CTG, Joe cumplirá 81 años dentro de un par de meses y sus guionistas deberían dejar de intentar que parezca moderno, pero aún tiene edad suficiente para recordar los días en que el término "boy" (niño) era un término racista utilizado para menospreciar a los hombres negros.

LL ha sido un rapero superestrella desde los 80s —uno de los primeros del género— y ha estado deletreando su nombre en las canciones hace mucho. Un pedazo de historia americana que CTG dice que el Presi debe saber.

President Joe Biden once told African American voters "You ain't Black" if you don't vote for him, but due to his lack of awareness about LL Cool J ... Biden's alleged Black Card is now being called into question.

The Rock the Bells pioneer was honored at the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation's annual Legislative Conference over the weekend, and the Prez pulled one of his worst teleprompter gaffes ... calling him "LL J Cool J."

To make matters worse, as Biden tried to recover from that flub, he referred to LL as "boy" ... making everyone in the crowd cringe ... even though he quickly tried to fix that screw-up, too.

It came out like this, "By the way that boy — that man’s got biceps bigger than my thighs." Good grief, Joe😬.

Republicans are using the verbal blunder as a political strike, but Charlamagne thinks it's a cultural one ... giving the Commander-in-Chief, and his writing staff, the "Donkey of the Day," and that's not a Democratic compliment!!!

As CTG notes, Joe will be 81 years old in a couple of months and his writers should stop attempting to have him come across as hip ... but he's still old enough to remember the days when the term "boy" was a racist term used to belittle Black men.

LL's also been a superstar rapper since the '80s -- one of the genre's first -- and has been spelling out his name in songs just as long -- a slice of American history CTG says the Prez should know.

Former NFL star Jarrett Payton has no doubts about Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce bein' a couple ... and that's coming from the guy who got the viral video of them leaving the Chiefs game together.

Jarrett, the son of football legend Walter Payton, joined us on "TMZ Live" Monday to talk about his experience capturing Taylor and Travis leaving Kansas City's Arrowhead Stadium together ... and he's telling us why there's real chemistry between them.

Jarrett's quick clip has quite the story behind it -- he says he was on the field filming coverage for Chicago's WGN and was heading to the car when he was stopped by security and told to wait there while they dealt with something ... or someone.

Luckily, he says he was told to stay put in the hallway ... and the 2 strolled past him not long after that.

He also thinks Travis gave him a bit of a look while walking out -- a total "come on, dude" kind of glance -- but Jarrett admits was like a kid in the candy store.

As you know, the internet's been going nuts over Taylor and Travis leaving together ... and the singer was also having a blast in a private box with Travis' mom, Donna, just hours before.

And for those of you who are convinced the 2 are an item, it sounds like Jarrett's right there with you on that one.

Do you think Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are the real deal, or just a PR stunt? Vote below.

The Pittsburgh Steelers still have yet to make it home following their big win against the Raiders in Nevada .... their charter plane was forced to make an emergency landing on Monday morning -- stranding the team in Kansas City.

The Delta Airlines flight was grounded not long after it left Las Vegas following Pitt's 23-18 victory ... after the plane reportedly experienced oil pressure issues.

Thankfully, a Steelers spokesperson said in a tweet Monday morning that everyone on the flight is safe.

"We are making necessary plans to arrive back in Pittsburgh later today," they added.

Pittsburgh star Cam Heyward was able to joke about it all despite the scary nature of the scene ... poking fun at his teammate, Minkah Fitzpatrick, on his X account.

"Dang emergency landing in KC," he wrote. "I think it’s due to @minkfitz_21 'roughing the passer call' but seriously landing KC."

He later jokingly asked Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift to give him a ride from K.C. to Pennsylvania ... as the two just so happened to be in the area for the Chiefs star's game earlier in the day.

"Yo @taylorswift13 & @tkelce," the defensive lineman wrote, "we might need a ride to Pittsburgh."

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce didn't kiss Sunday ... they didn't hug or anything like that, but it's pretty clear, both during and after the game, they're a thing.

Taylor and Travis left Arrowhead Stadium Sunday after the big game in Kelce's sweet convertible. They apparently went to grab some grub, and according to social media buzz, paid to have an entire restaurant unto themselves. We cannot confirm that, yet!

As they left the stadium, they walked side-by-side around the locker room area, strolling past photogs and looking, well, couplie.

Taylor was all in during the game, cheering on Travis as she sat, and stood, and screamed next to Travis's mom.

There have been rumblings for over a month the 2 were dating, and weeks ago we got the sense the rumors were true.

So how does TRAYLOR sound?

Joe Jonas and Sophie Turner have agreed they will NOT take their kids outside the greater New York City area for now ... this, just days after Sophie filed legal docs saying her intention was taking the kids to the UK for good.

Both Joe and Sophie agreed to a temporary consent agreement and filed it with a federal judge. Daily Mail first reported the filing.

As we reported, Joe and Sophie are locked in a legal battle over custody. Sophie went to federal court last week, citing a child abduction law and claiming Joe refused to turn over the passports of their 2 kids. She claimed they had an agreement the kids would live in the UK.

Joe countered, saying a judge in Florida -- where he filed the divorce -- said the kids could not be removed from the U.S., thus setting up a legal battle.

11:15 AM -- Chrisean Rock and Keke Palmer have connected behind the scenes on Monday after much internet chatter.

Chrisean had initially taken issue with Keke going public but cooler heads have prevailed and Chrisean appears to have an ally in Keke while a Blueface reconcillation is still TBD.

Keke Palmer believes Chrisean Rock's issues are reflective of the challenges facing so many other Black single mothers ... publicly offering the embattled reality star support.

Keke, who's a new mother herself, couldn't contain her anger as many -- including Blueface's manager Wack 100, called for Chrisean's baby to be removed from her care.

The way Keke sees it, personal opinions against Chrisean are irrelevant -- maternal health care is the #1 priority in situations like these, and she says neglected kids are the ones placed in the system which often leads to a path of crime.

Keke says there's an ongoing epidemic in health care for Black women and Chrisean is simply one of the many victims.

The CDC reported that in 2021, Black women suffered nearly 70 deaths for every 100,000 live births ... almost 3x the number of White women.

The "Nope" actress echoed much of what Cardi B told us when she spoke about Chrisean's early struggles with motherhood ... but the controversy surrounding her newborn baby is becoming more critical by the day!!!

Chrisean and Blueface are both under fire after the "Thotiana" rapper exposed their son's genitals ... accusing Chrisean of failing to schedule the appropriate surgery to fix a hernia, which has grown rather large.

She's also still trying to live down last week's viral Walmart video that showed her carelessly holding her baby.

Chrisean barked back at Blueface for airing out their baby's business ... but also admitted she hadn't yet set a date for him to have surgery, either.

Should there be legal consequences to Blueface posting a photo of his child's genitals? Vote below.

3:18 PM PT -- And just like that ... Drake has earned his 12th #1 hit with "Slime You Out" ... the most-ever amongst rappers.

Charlamagne Tha God's predictions that nobody was checking for the song were off ... way off.

Drake is finally firing back at Charlamagne after years of sneak disses ... with the 'Breakfast Club' host's critique of his new song with SZA being the final straw!!!

On Monday, Drake emptied the clip in his IG stories ... addressing Charlamagne by his gov't name while accusing him of harboring envious emotions.

He also compared Charlamagne to a low-budget Morris Chestnut and posted several snapshots of Charlamagne modeling to prove his point! The fans got a kick outta that.

Drake was triggered by Charlamagne's review of "Slime You Out," which he essentially called boring, claiming people checked out shortly after it dropped.

The song is projected to top the Billboard Hot 100 this week so obviously people are listening to it, but Charlamagne says he hears crickets.

Following Drake's blasts, Charlamagne blew off the shots while reacting on-air Monday ... joking that Drake picks a beef with him every time it's time for an album rollout.

The two had their back-and-forth exchanges over the years but as Charlamagne remembers things, they buried the hatchet at the conclusion of Drake's beef with Meek Mill around 2015.

9:06 AM PT -- Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ ... Krayzie Bone is going into a second surgery soon in the hopes of stopping some internal bleeding, which is at the root of his health troubles.

We're told this all started Friday when KB started coughing up blood, after which he checked himself into an L.A.-area hospital. After some tests, our sources tell us docs discovered a bleeding artery in one of his lungs ... and they operated on him.

Afterward, we're told Krayzie was placed in an induced coma -- with the idea being that would help the healing process -- but our sources say the issue wasn't resolved, and that the artery continues to bleed in his lung. Now, they're going back to try and fix it for good.

Our sources tell us his family members have been the only ones allowed to see him, and they're at his side now. Krayzie's team, we're told, is meeting today to get more updates.

Krayzie Bone is reportedly fighting for his life in a hospital -- a scary update that has much of Hollywood sending their thoughts and prayers his way.

The Bone Thugs-N-Harmony rapper is said to be on a ventilator as a result of surgery to deal with a respiratory issue he's been battling, which saw him coughing up blood and requiring to go under the knife immediately ... this according to AllHipHop.com.

The outlet reports KB's initial hospitalization stems from a diagnosis of sarcoidosis -- which causes inflammatory cells to form in different parts of the body. After undergoing a procedure to stop internal bleeding doctors detected, sources tell AHH that his condition worsened.

The news appears to have been confirmed by one of Krayzie's own BTNH members, Bizzy Bone -- who posted on social media this weekend ... asking everyone to keep KB in their thoughts. That, of course, spurred a lot of people to react ... including some big names.

Among the celebs who threw up messages of support ... Juicy J, LeBron James, DJ Paul, and others. Of course, tons of hip hop fans at large are pouring out with tributes as well.

Krayzie Bone's family is reported to be seeking privacy and hasn't expanded on where things stand -- but word is ... he's currently sedated and remains in Los Angeles-area ICU.

His contributions to music can't be overstated -- in addition to being a part of one of the biggest hip hop groups to emerge from the '90s, with an incredibly unique style, Krayzie has gone on to launch his own record label, apparel line and podcast network ... to name a few accomplishments. He's also won a couple Grammys in his day as part of Bone Thugs.

The guy isn't even all that old ... he's only 50. Here's hoping he can pull through. 🙏

Taylor Swift y Travis Kelce no se besaron el domingo. Tampoco se abrazaron ni nada por el estilo pero quedó bastante claro, tanto durante como después del partido, que son algo.

Taylor y Travis dejaron el estadio Arrowhead el domingo después del gran partido en el descapotable de Kelce. Al parecer fueron a comer algo y según rumores en las redes sociales, pagaron para tener un restaurante entero para ellos. Sin embargo no podemos confirmarlo todavía.

Al salir del estadio caminaron lado a lado alrededor de la zona de vestuarios, paseando por delante de los fotógrafos.

Taylor estaba en llamas durante el juego, animando a Travis a todo pulmón. Se puso de pie y estuvo junto a la madre de Travis.

Ha habido rumores durante más de un mes que los 2 estaban saliendo, y hace semanas tuvimos la sensación de que los rumores eran ciertos.

Joe Jonas y Sophie Turner han acordado que NO llevaran a sus hijas fuera de la ciudad de Nueva York por ahora. Esto, sólo unos días después de que Sophie presentara documentos legales diciendo que su intención era llevar a las niñas al Reino Unido para siempre.

Tanto Joe como Sophie acordaron un acuerdo de consentimiento temporal y lo presentaron ante un juez federal.

Como informamos, Joe y Sophie están enzarzados en una batalla legal por la custodia. Sophie fue a la corte federal la semana pasada, citando una ley de secuestro infantil y alegando Joe se negó a entregar los pasaportes de sus 2 hijas. Ella alegó que tenían un acuerdo para que las niñas vivieran en el Reino Unido.

Joe contraatacó diciendo que un tribunal de Florida dijo que los niños no podían ser retirados de los EE.UU. estableciendo así una batalla legal.

Keke Palmer cree que los problemas de Chrisean Rock son un reflejo de los retos a los que se enfrentan muchas otras madres solteras afro y ofreció públicamente su apoyo a la estrella de reality.

Keke, que es madre primeriza, no pudo contener su ira cuando muchos  —incluyendo el manager de Blueface Wack 100— pidió que el bebé de Chrisean fuera retirado de su cuidado.

En opinión de Keke, las opiniones personales en contra de Chrisean son irrelevantes, el cuidado materno es la prioridad # 1 en situaciones como estas y ella dice que los niños desatendidos son los que finalmente terminan en el camino de la delincuencia.

Keke dice que hay una epidemia en curso en lo que respecta a la salud de las mujeres afro en Estados Unidos y Chrisean es simplemente una de muchas víctimas.

El CDC informó que en 2021 las mujeres afrodecendientes sufrieron casi 70 muertes por cada 100.000 nacidos vivos, casi 3 veces el número de las mujeres blancas.

La actriz de "Nope" hizo eco de lo que Cardi B nos dijo cuando habló sobre las primeras luchas de Chrisean con la maternidad ¡¡¡pero la controversia que rodea a su recién nacido se está volviendo más crítica cada día!!!

Chrisean y Blueface están recibiendo críticas luego de que el rapero de "Thotiana" expuso los genitales de su hijo acusando a Chrisean de no programar la cirugía adecuada para arreglar una hernia, la cual ha crecido bastante.

Por otra parte, ella lucha contra sus propias críticas luego de que se viralizara un video que la muestra sosteniendo a su bebé de manera descuidada.

Chrisean ladró de nuevo a Blueface para ventilar el negocio de su bebé ... pero también admitió que aún no había fijado una fecha para que él tenga la cirugía.

Kourtney Kardashian organizó un baby shower épico para su futuro hijo con Travis Barker. Algunos fans están pienas que en alguna parte del bosque, entre los árboles puede estar el nombre del niño.

La fiesta temática de Disney tuvo lugar el domingo y parece haber sido organizada en su mansión de Calabasas. Convirtieron el patio trasero en una recreación del famoso parque temático. Todo incluido; el cartel de Disney, las orejas de Mickey Mouse e incluso los Dapper Dans!

En una de las intrincadas decoraciones de la fiesta (un manzano relacionado con el clásico "Blancanieves"), la gente se dio cuenta de que había un montón de tarjetas con notas escritas a mano que colgadas y alguien hizo zoom en una de ellas.

Hay una nota que puede leerse parcialmente que parece mencionar el nombre de un bebé. Es difícil de entender en su totalidad pero lo que parece decir es: "Que el bebé Rocky tenga una vida llena de amor". El resto es demasiado borrosa pero al parecer más buenos deseos.

Los fans con ojos de águila han visto esto y ya se especula que Kourtney y Travis podrían llamar a su hijo Rocky. Por supuesto, también podría ser una referencia al hecho de que Travis es un rockero pero en cualquier caso, ha estimulado un montón de comentarios en línea.

El tiempo dirá lo que terminan llamando al nuevo bebé Barker pero Rocky no está nada mal.

De todos modos, el resto de la fiesta fue de primer nivel. Como hemos dicho, los recuerdos de la fiesta fueron increíblemente bien pensados y detallados y parece que no escatimaron en gastos para hacer que la cuna se viera como si viniera directamente de Anaheim.

Por cierto, Travis iba enmascarado mientras se mezclaba con amigos y familiares ya que ahora mismo tiene COVID. También parece que la gente estaba manteniendo el distanciamiento social en todo momento... la seguridad ante todo.

En cuanto a Kourtney, parece que el bebé podría llegar en cualquier momento. Se le vio sonriente y de muy buen humor.

Recordemos que la futura madre estuvo recientemente en la mira de un alcalde de otra lujosa ciudad... Malibú.

Como hemos informado, el alcalde Silverstein se está quejando por una fiesta privada relacionada con Poosh (la marca de bienestar de Kourtney). Alegó que la gente que organizó la fiesta obtuvo un permiso de última hora para eventos especiales y sospecha que se hizo en circunstancias turbias.

Por suerte Kourtney no vive en Malibu ... y ella estaba a un brazo de distancia de ese drama este fin de semana.

Kourtney Kardashian threw an epic baby shower for her and Travis Barker's future son together ... and some fans are seeing the forest for the trees on the kid's potential name.

The Disnelyand-themed bash went down Sunday, and it looks to have been hosted at their Calabasas mansion -- with the backyard being turned into a recreation of the famous theme park ... complete with Disney signage, Mickey Mouse ears and even the Dapper Dans!

Indeed, Kourtney's camp went all out here ... however, in one of the intricate party decorations -- an apple tree in the vein of 'Snow White' -- folks noticed a bunch of cards with hand-written notes were being hung ... and somebody zoomed in on one of those.

There's a note that can be partially read ... and it seems to mention a baby name. It's hard to make out in its entirety -- but what it appears to say is ... "May Baby Rocky have ... life filled with love." The rest of it is too blurry, but seemingly more well-wishes.

Eagle-eyed fans have seen this ... and there's already speculation Kourtney and Travis might be naming their kid Rocky. Of course, it could also be a reference to the fact TB is a rocker -- but in any case, it's spurred a lot of chatter online.

Time will tell what they end up calling the new Baby Barker ... but Rocky's not half bad.

Anyway, the rest of the shindig was top-tier in terms of Kardashian-led blowouts. Like we said, the party favors were incredibly well-thought-out and detailed -- and it looks like they didn't spare any expense in making the crib look like it came straight out of Anaheim.

BTW, Travis was masked up while mingling with friends and family ... he's got COVID right now. It also looks like folks were maintaining social distancing all throughout -- safety first.

As for Kourtney, she looks like she's almost ready to pop ... that baby's probably due any day now. She was all smiles and in an incredibly good mood based on what we can see.

Of course, the reason that's significant is because she kinda fell into the crosshairs of a mayor from another ritzy town just down the freeway ... and that would be Malibu.

As we reported ... Mayor Silverstein excoriated City officials for what he claims was them bending the knee to organizers of a Poosh party -- which is obviously Kourtney's wellness brand. He alleged that the folks who put that together got a last-minute special events permit greenlit ... and he suspects it was done under shady circumstances.

Luckily, Kourtney doesn't live in Malibu ... and she was at arm's-length from that drama this weekend.

Blueface may have successfully destroyed any bit of public goodwill he had in his custody fight with Chrisean Rock ... posting a pic of their son's unhealthy genitals in an effort to prove his point -- but he's sticking to his guns.

On Sunday, Blueface shocked and angered onlookers online by uploading the graphic pic on social media with a complaint ... "This what my son d**k look like an she worried about me an lil baby c*** like bih get our son c*** right then do what you want."

We blurred the pic for obvious reasons, but Blue's defense is their still weeks-old son was suffering from a hernia but Chrisean still hadn't scheduled the necessary surgery to correct the condition.

Fans were split over Blueface's lack of family discretion ... one fan noted Chrisean's behavior during pregnancy may have pre-doomed the entire situation while Blueface even challenged another who questioned his parenting skills.

Others still want CPS to intervene ... which pretty much mirrors the thoughts of Blue's manager Wack 100, who demands the child return to the hospital so it can get the proper care.

Blue and Chrisean have been at each other's throats since the baby's birth ... last week Chrisean admitted fault for not cradling his head properly while shopping at Walmart, much to Blue's disappointment.

He doesn't think she's serious about raising the child but until something's done, the lil tyke will be the main one suffering.

Should there be legal consequences to Blueface posting a photo of his child's genitals? Vote below.

Travis Kelce was stepping out of the Chiefs game with Taylor Swift in an outfit that's named after one of her biggest albums, but here's the thing -- the duds were renamed AFTER he bought it ... let us explain.

The Kansas City Chiefs tight end was rocking the "1989 Bedroom Painting" denim jacket and pants as he left the stadium with Taylor after Sunday night's game.

KidSuper, the company that made the threads, revealed a bit of sneaky marketing after the game ... telling folks on X it was originally called "Bedroom Painting," but the album title was slapped on after Travis was spotted wearing it with Taylor.

Smart move for sure, as Swifties everywhere are wondering if his outfit was the smoking gun proving the relationship ... but it looks like the brand is behind all the commotion.

Taylor sent her fans into delirium Sunday night as she appeared at Arrowhead Stadium, watching Travis play as she sat -- and stood, and screamed -- with his mom!

We've heard for weeks this was not a publicity stunt ... they really have been dating. Sunday night should put all doubts to rest.

Do you think Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are the real deal, or just a PR stunt? Vote below.
