Kanye West wished he would've saved his good beats for himself during his 5-album "Wyoming Sessions" run in 2018 ... as he felt Pusha T, Nas and Teyana Taylor weren't appreciating his greatness!!!

The regrets -- yes, he's had a few -- are coming out now in leaked footage from a 2018 documentary Ye shot with Milo Yiannopoulos.

Ya might recall, at the time Ye was focused on revamping his G.O.O.D. Music label, and while ensconced at his Wyoming ranch, he delivered a flurry of albums -- an ill-advised decision he ranted about to his then-manager Scooter Braun.

Ye criticized himself for blessing Teyana with her biggest song "Gonna Love Me" and giving Pusha T beats on his "Daytona" album that he failed to elevate ... comparing the production to 3 times the amount of his landmark album, "My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy."

Nas finished his Def Jam contract by collaborating with Ye for his "NASIR" album, but Ye even dissed him for rapping off-beat on the track "Cops Shot the Kid" -- and then being wishy-washy for the music video rollout!!!

Ye called out all 3 artists for, in his humble opinion, simply riding his wave. As he put it, "These muthaf***as don't appreciate me. These muthaf***as are trying to use me. I'm the greatest muthaf***ing artist living, and I can do everything."

Kanye was adamant he was the 🐐 artist and needed his own festival after being disappointed performing for others.

He knew his words would sting and warned Scooter he refused to end up like XXXTENTACION, who was shot and killed around that time.

5:26 PM PT -- Taylor Swift was just officially introduced to start the broadcast, and it looks like her box is completely packed -- as she hugs and kisses friends, and hob-nobs with celebs.

No sign of Donna Kelce just yet, but she's almost certainly in the mix as well.

And yes, NBC is fully leaning in to Taylor-mania -- they just did this whole Carson Daly intro recapping the viral frenzy ... and they made a lot of Swift-y song references along the way. Last but not least ... Aaron Rodgers is also in the house -- this just a few weeks after tearing his Achilles and undergoing surgery. The dude is here to root on his underdog team.

It's game time!

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's romance is going strong -- so much so that she popped into another football stadium to cheer him on ... this time with some famous pals in tow.

The pop star is again the guest of honor Sunday during NBC's 'SNF' broadcast of the Chiefs vs. Jets game -- in which her rumored tight end BF is obviously playing. Taylor showed up and slipped in through a back area, but got caught on camera entering the building.

This time around, TayTay had some A-list company ... including Blake Lively, Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman, among others. She's expected to be in a luxury suite near the field, and word is ... she'll be joined by Travis's mom, Donna Kelce -- like last week.

As for TS's entourage -- Blake makes sense ... they're best buds, and they were just out and about yesterday together in the Big Apple -- not to mention a starry dinner alongside some other famous ladies, like Sophie Turner and even Patrick Mahomes' wife, Brittany.

Hugh's not all that random either -- he's good friends with Blake's hubby, and they're in this new obscure movie that's coming out next year -- something called 'Deadpool 3,' apparently.

Anyway ... Taylor's appearance is no surprise -- we'd been hearing all week that she'd be here, and they were telegraphing as much by being within a stone's throw of each other earlier this weekend.

We'll see how much of Taylor gets shown throughout the broadcast. FOX kept it mostly focused on the game last week -- but seeing how much of a rating bonanza her mere presence turned out to be ... ya gotta figure NBC will cut to her at least a few times today.

If today/tonight turns out to be as eventful as last week's Kansas City outing ... we're in for a whole lot of news. Travis and Taylor were all anyone talked about -- and now that they're showing PDA in public, it's safe to assume we might see even more of it in the near future.

Some might've thought this was all BS at first, but it's sure looking more real by the day. There were reports that Travis even swung by Taylor's NYC apartment before the game -- so yeah, he's been in her quarters now ... and all signs point to this being an intimate thing.

With Swifties and NFL'ers all flocking for the show ... it's a classic case of worlds colliding.

Trayvis is officially on ... and kickoff is just minutes away!!!

Beyoncé is full of inspiration, which she displayed in dramatic fashion in the trailer for her upcoming film documenting her "Renaissance" tour.

Bey's film, "Renaissance: A Film by Beyoncé," chronicles lots of behind-the-scenes action, and it shows the singer in some chill, fun, backstage moments.

Throughout the trailer, you see her getting some stretching in backstage with her 11-year-old daughter, Blue Ivy, while the little twins -- Rumi and Sir -- hung out with them.

Looks like Beyoncé was having a blast -- toasting the camera while knocking back a shot. Worth noting the rumors "Renaissance" was a booze-free tour, so it might not have been alcohol in that glass.

There's so much fans have to look forward to when the film comes out December 1st -- it's got everything from a beaming Jay-Z, crowds going nuts, and the Queen herself breaking down what this tour has meant to her.

As we reported, AMC will be taking the reigns for Bey's movie, playing in all of North America next month ... and this follows Taylor Swift's "Eras" tour flick spreading to a worldwide debut after tons of demand.

Taylor's film is also a partnership with AMC, so there's for sure a theme going on at that movie chain ... and obviously, a smart one.

Beyoncé está llena de inspiración y lo demuestra de forma espectacular en el tráiler de su próxima película que documenta su gira "Renaissance".

La película de Bey, "Renaissance: A Film by Beyoncé", muestra lo que ocurre entre bastidores y muestra a la cantante en algunos momentos de relajo y bastante divertidos al parecer.

A lo largo del tráiler se la ve haciendo algunos estiramientos entre bastidores con su hija de 11 años, Blue Ivy, mientras los pequeños gemelos —Rumi y Sir— pasan el rato con ellos.

Parece que Beyoncé se lo estaba pasando en grande, brindando en cámara mientras se tomaba algo. Vale la pena señalar los rumores sobre que "Renaissance" fue una gira sin alcohol, por lo que podría no haber sido el alcohol en ese vaso.

Los fans tienen muchas cosas interesantes que ver cuando la película se estrene el 1 de diciembre: desde un Jay-Z radiante, multitudes enloquecidas y la propia Reina explicando lo que esta gira ha significado para ella. Como ya informamos, AMC tomará las riendas de la película de Bey, que se estrenará en toda Norteamérica el mes que viene y esto sigue a la película de la gira "Eras" de Taylor Swift, que se estrena en todo el mundo tras una gran demanda.

La película de Taylor es también una asociación con AMC, por lo que es seguro que hay más ideas en marcha en esa cadena de cine y, obviamente, unas muy inteligentes.

Blueface's mother is defending the controversial nude baby photo posted on the rapper's social media -- because she believes there's absolutely nothing illegal about seeking help for an infant's hernia.

We got Karlissa Saffold on Sunset Blvd in Los Angeles and asked her about the photo, which Blueface claims was uploaded last weekend while his account was hacked.

While Karlissa says she was initially outraged when she saw the graphic post, like most everyone else, which shows her grandkid's unhealthy genitals ... she says her opinion changed when she saw similar posts from other concerned parents seeking input on hernias.

What's more, Karlissa says the graphic photo wasn't done in a pornographic way ... she says it was about helping the child, and thus wasn't illegal.

We also asked about all the drama between her son and the child's mother, Chrisean Rock ... and she said she would step in if there was a need to keep the peace and help the baby. She's seeing the same nasty exchanges we all are, and says they both continue "doing some vicious stuff to one another."

The way Mom sees it, all the drama is what comes with folks who are at the end of a breakup -- and she throws some shade their way, saying there's "3 kids involved" ... Blueface, Chrisean and the infant.

To be clear, Karlissa isn't saying she will take the baby from Chrisean, she says she would never take a child from a mother who is capable of caring for her baby. But, she says she's ready and willing to help in any capacity.

And, this is very interesting ... Karlissa added that she's more concerned about the way Chrisean was carrying the baby in a Walmart than the hernia photo.

Brittany Mahomes hitting it off with Taylor Swift has seemingly rubbed Travis Kelce's ex-girlfriend the wrong way -- Kayla Nicole no longer follows her bestie on Instagram amid the tight end's budding relationship with the singer.

Patrick Mahomes' wife has been spending a lot of time with T-Swift over the past two weeks -- as we previously reported, the two initially connected at Kelce's party after the Chiefs' win over the Bears last week ... and grabbed dinner with Blake Lively and Sophie Turner in NYC days later.

Brittany and Taylor appeared to be thick as thieves as they enjoyed the Chiefs' close win over the Jets from a VIP suite alongside Lively, Ryan Reynolds, Hugh Jackman and more Sunday night ... a clear indication that Mahomes approves of Kelce's new love interest.

Kayla -- who remained tight with Brittany long after her relationship with Travis ended in 2022 -- apparently doesn't like the idea of her friend cozying up with Swift ... 'cause the model and influencer recently unfollowed Mahomes on social media.

Of course, Kayla was super close with the Mahomeses for years -- she was even a bridesmaid for their wedding in March 2022.

Now, she's no longer keeping tabs on both Brittany AND Patrick on the platform ... and previous posts have been "un-liked" by Kayla's account.

La madre de Blueface defiende la polémica foto del bebé desnudo publicada en las redes sociales del rapero porque cree que no hay absolutamente nada ilegal en buscar ayuda para la hernia de un bebé.

Tuvimos a Karlissa Saffold en Sunset Blvd en Los Ángeles y le preguntamos acerca de la foto que Blueface afirma, fue subida el pasado fin de semana mientras que su cuenta era hackeada.

Mientras Karlissa dice que estaba inicialmente indignada cuando vio el post (como la mayoría de la gente), que muestra los genitales poco saludables de su nieto, ella dice que su opinión cambió cuando vio posts similares de otros padres preocupados que buscan información sobre las hernias.

Lo que es más, Karlissa dice que la foto no se hizo de una manera pornográfica. Dice que se trataba de ayudar al niño, y, por lo tanto, no era ilegal.

También le preguntamos sobre todo el drama entre su hijo y la madre del niño, Chrisean Rock. Nos dijo que iba a intervenir si surgía la necesidad de mantener la paz y ayudar al bebé. Está viendo los mismos intercambios desagradables que todos nosotros y dice que ambos siguen "haciéndose cosas tóxicas".

Según mamá, todo este drama es propio de gente que está al final de una ruptura, y los critica un poco diciendo que hay "3 niños de por medio", Blueface, Chrisean y el bebé.

Para ser claros, Karlissa no está diciendo que va a tomar el bebé de Chrisean, ella dice que nunca tomaría un niño de una madre que es capaz de cuidar a su bebé. Pero dice que ella está lista y dispuesta a ayudar de cualquier manera.

Esto es muy interesante; Karlissa añadió que le preocupa más la forma en que Chrisean llevaba al bebé la otra vez en un Walmart que la foto de la hernia.

Yeah, Damian Lillard and Antonio Brown might have some dope music, but Shaq tells TMZ Sports he's the G.O.A.T when it comes to athletes who rap ... and he's been that guy since the 1990s!

For those who don't remember, Shaq made four rap albums during his Hall of Fame NBA career, with the first one, "Shaq Diesel," coming out in 1993.

He hasn't stopped making music in retirement either ... the 51-year-old actually just jumped on a track with L.A.-based group Coyote -- and he tells us he's got much more on the way too.

"I got a couple of freestyles," O'Neal said. "It's all competition for me, so when I hear other people that say, 'I'm a better athlete-rapper than Shaq,' I gotta step up."

"Nothing personal. I just have to let these people know who paved the way."

Some of the athletes makin' waves in the rap game include Lillard, who's been considered by fans to be one of the best, lyrically, in any sport.

There's also Brown, who's made catchy tracks like "Put That Sh** On" ... as well as former NBA star Iman Shumpert.

But, while O'Neal (who we recently talked to about his huge upcoming charity event) was very complimentary of the guys' talents on the mic, he says he's still the greatest of all time.

"I put stuff out, they put stuff out and we let the people decide who the number one is," O'Neal said.

"I know who the number one is. I'ma always say myself is number one, but they got a lot of the guys out there that are coming."

Si, Damian Lillard y Antonio Brown pueden tener algo de buena música, pero                                  Shaq le dijo a TMZ Sports que él es el mejor cuando se trata de atletas que rapean ¡y lo ha sido desde los 90s!

Para aquellos que no lo recuerdan, Shaq hizo cuatro álbumes de rap durante su carrera en el Salón de la Fama de la NBA. El primero, "Shaq Diesel", salió en 1993.

A sus 51 años acaba de grabar un tema con el grupo Coyote, de Los Ángeles, y nos cuenta que tiene mucho más en camino.

"Tengo un par de freestyles", dijo O'Neal. "Todo es competición para mí, así que cuando oigo a otra gente que dice: 'Soy mejor atleta/rapper que Shaq', tengo que dar un paso adelante".

"No es nada personal. Solo tengo que hacerle saber a la gente quién abrió el camino".

Algunos de los atletas que triunfan en el rap incluyen a Lillard, que ha sido considerado por los fans como uno de los mejores (líricamente), en cualquier deporte.

También está Brown, que ha hecho temas pegadizos como "Put That Sh** On", así como la ex estrella de la NBA Iman Shumpert.

O'Neal (con quien hablamos recientemente sobre su próximo gran evento de caridad) fue muy elogioso de los talentos de los chicos en el micrófono, pero dice que él sigue siendo el mejor de todos los tiempos.

"Yo saco cosas, ellos sacan cosas y dejamos que la gente decida quién es el número uno", dijo O'Neal.

"Yo sé quién es el número uno. Yo siempre digo que yo soy el número uno, pero hay un montón de chicos nuevos haciendo cosas por ahí".

Smash Mouth's lead singer Steve Harwell has been cremated following his death earlier this month ... and we're told the late artist's memorial will be open for all fans to attend.

Steve's manager, Robert Hayes, tells TMZ ... the ashes will be buried at Los Gatos Memorial Park in San Jose, CA -- and his loved ones want Steve to have a headstone marker they can continue to visit and leave flowers at.

We're told he was supposed to be laid to rest next to his mother in San Jose's Oak Hill Memorial Park, but, unfortunately, there was no space available close to her ... so they opted for Los Gatos instead.

Steve's memorial will be open to the public on October 7 at Los Gatos -- over 300 folks have already confirmed they'll be attending, including his Smash Mouth bandmates. A private reception for family and close friends will follow.

TMZ broke the story, Steve passed away on September 4 due to liver failure -- he was surrounded by friends and family at his home in Boise.

El cantante de Smash Mouth, Steve Harwell, ha sido incinerado tras su muerte a principios de este mes y nos informan dice que el memorial del difunto artista estará abierto para que todos los fans puedan asistir.

El manager de Steve, Robert Hayes, nos informa que las cenizas serán enterradas en Los Gatos Memorial Park en San José California y sus seres queridos quieren que Steve tenga una lápida que puedan seguir visitando para dejar flores.

Nos comentan que supuestamente iba a ser enterrado junto a su madre en Oak Hill Memorial Park de San José, pero por desgracia no había espacio disponible cerca de ella, así que optó por Los Gatos en su lugar.

El memorial de Steve estará abierto al público el 7 de octubre en Los Gatos. Más de 300 personas ya han confirmado que asistirán incluyendo a sus compañeros de banda. Además, habrá una recepción privada para familiares y amigos cercanos.

Como informó TMZ, Steve falleció el 4 de septiembre debido a una insuficiencia hepática, rodeado de amigos y familiares en su casa de Boise.

Taylor Swift se prepara para animar a Travis Kelce por segunda semana consecutiva, pero no sin antes cenar con algunas amigas famosas. La vimos con Sophie Turner, Brittany Mahomes, y Blake Lively.

Taylor y las chicas fueron a un lugar italiano, Emilio's Ballato en Nueva York, el sábado por la noche. Llegaron con Blake y más tarde se unieron a Sophie y Mahomes, con quien recientemente se familiarizó el pasado fin de semana después de la victoria de Kansas City en casa.

Taylor ha estado pasando mucho tiempo con Sophie los últimos tiempos, incluso se puso de su lado en una batalla con Joe Jonas, respecto a la custodia y el divorcio.

Blake es amigo de Taylor desde hace mucho tiempo, pero Mahomes es sin duda una nueva incorporación al "girl squad".

TMZ publicó la historia. Taylor y Brittany se llevaron bien en la fiesta de Travis Kelce el fin de semana pasado, charlando un montón e incluso se tomaron una foto juntas. También fuimos los primeros en obtener una foto de Taylor y Travis estando bastante cómodos en la fiesta (ella envolvió sus brazos alrededor de la superestrella de la NFL).

Travis y sus Kansas City Chiefs se enfrentarán a los Jets de Nueva York el domingo por la noche y fuentes nos dicen que Taylor estará presente.

Kim Kardashian y Tom Brady compartieron un divertido momento mientras hacían ofertas por una obra de arte muy cara ¡¡incluso coquetearon un poco!!

Según un testigo, Kim y Tom se presentaron a pujar por una pintura de George Condo en la Caridad de la Alianza de Reforma en Atlantic City, Nueva Jersey, el sábado por la noche

Nos dicen que Kim inició la puja en $500K y luego Tom hizo una oferta más alta antes de que entraran en una batalla campal.

Durante sus idas y venidas las celebridades se reían y se miraban, haciéndolo todo "superdivertido y coqueto", según dice nuestra fuente.

Cuando la puja alcanzó los 2 millones de dólares, los anfitriones del evento intervinieron y decidieron que ambos recibirían su propio cuadro de George Condo.

Cada uno pagó $2 millones por sus lienzos. Algo habitual en la vida de Kim y Tom.

Kim Kardashian and Tom Brady shared a fun-filled moment while bidding on a very pricey piece of art -- and the two even got a bit flirty!!

According to eyewitnesses... Kim and Tom showed up to bid on a George Condo painting at the Reform Alliance Charity in Atlantic City, New Jersey, Saturday night.

We're told Kim kicked off the bidding at $500K, and then Tom put in a higher bid before they got into a full-on bidding war.

During their back and forth, the celebs giggled and kept looking at each other, and it was all "super fun and flirty," our sources tell us.

When the bid reached $2 million, the event hosts stepped in and decided both would receive their own George Condo painting.

But there was a caveat ... Kim and Tom each had to pay $2 million for their canvases, which for them is just chump change.

Britney Spears se fue contra la policía el sábado, exigiendo una disculpa después de que vinieron a su casa hace unos días para hacer un control de bienestar.

Como ustedes saben, Brit estaba bailando con cuchillos el lunes y parecía bastante peligroso. Ella dijo que eran cuchillos de utilería, pero los fans no se lo creyeron después de que ella publicó otro video un día después con un vendaje en el brazo y un corte en la pierna.

Los policías llegaron a la casa para ver si todo estaba bien, luego de que un miembro de la policía de Los Ángeles que tuvo interacciones anteriores con Britney se alarmó.

Britney no se lo cree: "¿Es una broma? ¿En las noticias de nuevo y diciendo que vienen a ver si estoy bien? Vamos América, somos mejores que eso, ¿verdad? Los oficiales vinieron a mi casa y dijeron que no se irían hasta que hablaran conmigo, tal como la gente habla con ellos durante cuatro minutos. Estoy recibiendo una disculpa. He sido intimidada en mi casa durante tanto tiempo... ¡ES SUFICIENTE! Esto es abuso de poder policial".

Luego apuntó a su madre: "Como mi madre opta por el silencio cuando papá hace preguntas acerca del bienestar de su propia hija... no, es solo un juego. La gente tiene que ser responsable de sus acciones".

Como informamos, Lynne Spears estuvo en la ciudad durante todo el asunto de los cuchillos para ver a su hija, Jamie Lynn, actuar en "Dancing with the Stars". Britney ha vuelto a cortar con Lynne así que ahora mamá se calla cuando los paparazzi le hacen preguntas. Brit ha interpretado esto como una traición.

Britney Spears went off on cops Saturday ... demanding an apology after they came to her house a few days back to do a welfare check.

As you know, Brit was dancing with knives Monday, and it looked perilous. She said they were prop knives, but fans weren't buying it after she posted another video a day later with a bandage on her arm and a cut on her leg.

Cops came to the house to do a welfare check, after someone from the LAPD who had prior interactions with Britney became alarmed.

Britney's not buyin' it ... “Is it a joke in the news again with welfare checks??? Come on America … we cooler than that, right ??? The officers came to my home and said they would not leave until they spoke to me as people do 4 minute performances with them. I am getting an apology. I’ve been bullied in my home for so long now…ITS ENOUGH! ... It's about power for cops."

She then took aim at her mom ... "As my mom does the silent treatment when paps ask questions about her own daughter as if I’m in the wrong…nope it’s an old game. People need to be responsible for their actions!"

That's kind of a catch-22. As we reported, Lynne Spears was in town during the whole knife thing to watch her daughter, Jamie Lynn, perform on "Dancing with the Stars." Britney has cut Lynne off again, so Mom is now mum when paparazzi ask her questions, and Brit has interpreted that as a betrayal.
