El hijo de Drake, Adonis, aparece en el nuevo video de su padre "8AM in Charlotte", y además de ser presentado, dibujó el arte de la portada, aunque parece que no le pagaron nada por el trabajo duro.

El nuevo video da el puntapié inicial del álbum "For All the Dogs" de Drake, que finalmente sale mañana después de varios retrasos.

Adonis dio una explicación completa de la cabra que dibujó para la portada, similar a la que hizo para el arte de 'Dogs'. ¡La cabra simboliza a "Papá Cabra", o en otras palabras, que su padre es el mejor de todos los tiempos!

Cuando Drake bromeó con él sobre su pago por el dibujo, Adonis demostró que no es ajeno al sarcasmo. Con tan solo 5 años le dijo, "oh, por favor!!!", a papá en su cara.

Quién sabe, los dibujos podrían valer millones más adelante, especialmente si el álbum de Drake está a la altura.

La Semana de la Moda de París ha terminado, pero la fiesta sigue para las chinches que han tenido la suerte de viajar con las estrellas de Hollywood de regreso a EE.UU. Una organización especializada en estas plagas ha lanzado una severa advertencia.

El Dr. Jim Fredericks —un entomólogo certificado y Vicepresidente Senior de Asuntos Públicos de la Asociación Nacional de Control de Plagas— le dijo a TMZ que las chinches son autoestopistas muy capaces, por lo que la posibilidad de un viaje a los Estados desde París infestado sigue siendo alta. Sin embargo, hay medidas que los famosos pueden tomar para evitar esa pesadilla.

Para empezar, el Dr. Fredericks dice que todos los famosos que asistieron a desfiles de moda o se alojaron en hoteles de lujo de París deben inspeccionar a fondo tanto su equipaje como su ropa de cama. Eso también incluye a los que se alojaron en los hoteles más lujosos; ya sea de cinco estrellas o de una, a las chinches les da igual y tienden a colarse en cualquier sitio.

Además de buscar chinches vivas, el doctor dice que cualquier signo de exoesqueletos o manchas fecales son buenos indicios de un problema de chinches. Como medida preventiva, explica que lo más sensato es guardar el equipaje fuera de las habitaciones durante las visitas.

Además, es aconsejable inspeccionar a fondo las maletas, mochilas, etc. antes de coger un vuelo de vuelta a casa para evitar que los bichos salten de continente.

Aunque estés seguro de que tu equipaje está libre de chinches, El Dr. Fredericks dice que cualquiera que visite París debería lavar a fondo toda su ropa y secarla a alta temperatura. Una vez de vuelta en los EE.UU., dice que es mejor prevenir que curar, por lo que una limpieza en seco no estaría de más tampoco.

Mientras que los chinches chupadores de sangre no suponen un riesgo de propagación de enfermedades, pueden ser una gran molestia una vez que se han establecido. Sin embargo, todo se puede evitar siendo preventivo.

21 Savage is a prisoner to the borders of the United States no more -- he's got a Green Card after a years-long immigration battle -- according to his buddy, Drake.

Drake just dropped his song "8AM in Charlotte" where he makes the stunning reveal, rapping, "Savage got a green card straight out of the consulate. Where I go, you go, brother, we Yugoslavian."

The timing of the announcement is certainly interesting considering Drake and 21 have two shows scheduled in Drake's home of Toronto, Canada this weekend.

21 hasn't been able to attend any of the tour stops outside of The United States because of his immigration status ... but with a Green Card, it's now possible for him to leave the country.

As we reported, it was way back in 2019 when 21 was detained by ICE officials and the world learned the rapper was actually from the UK, and had been living in the U.S. illegally for years after his Visa expired. Authorities claimed during that arrest, 21 also tossed a bottle of codeine, and a handgun was found in his vehicle -- further complicating his situation.

In fact, it was the criminal case that then delayed his immigration case as everything got backed up during the pandemic.

Taylor Swift is everywhere these days, even helping to raise some money for her bestie Selena Gomez's charity event.

Two of Taylor's highly sought-after concert tix hit the auction block in Hollywood Wednesday at the inaugural Rare Impact Fund Benefit. It was part of Selena's ongoing campaign to bring awareness to people struggling with mental health issues and self-acceptance.

Martin Short was the emcee of the affair, kicking off the tickets auction at $5K, but the number steadily rose until it finally hit a whopping $15K -- the biggest ticket item of the event. Of course, Martin added a lot of humor and had the audience cracking up.

Unsurprisingly, once Martin made the winner official -- everyone went crazy and clapped.

Drake's son Adonis is all over his dad's new video for "8AM in Charlotte" -- in addition to being featured, he drew the cover art, but it seems he got paid bupkis for his hard work!!!

The new vid kicks off Drake's "For All the Dogs" rollout, which finally drops tomorrow after several delays.

Adonis gave a full explanation of the goat he drew for the new illustration, similar to the one he crafted for the 'Dogs' cover art -- the goat symbolizes a "Daddy Goat" AKA his father being the greatest of all time ... an opinion that got no pushback from Drake!!!

When Drake teased him about his payment for the drawing, Adonis showed he's no stranger to sarcasm at just 5 years old, dropping an "Oh, please!" on Dad to his face!!!

Who knows, the paintings could be worth millions down the line, especially if Drake's album lives up to the hype.

Paris Fashion Week is over, but the party's still going for the bed bugs lucky enough to hitch a ride with Hollywood A-listers flying back to the U.S. ... and now an org specializing in the creepy crawly pests is offering a stern warning.

Dr. Jim Fredericks -- a board-certified entomologist and senior public affairs VP at the National Pest Management Association -- tells TMZ ... bed bugs are highly capable hitchhikers, so the possibility of them catching a ride to the States from infested Paris remains high. However, there are measures celebs can take to avoid that nightmare.

For starters, Dr. Fredericks says any celebs who attended fashion shows or bunked up at bougie Paris hotels need to do a hardcore inspection of their luggage and bedding alike -- and that includes those who stayed at the ritziest of hotels. 5-stars or one, bed bugs don't care, and tend to worm their way into any setting.

On top of looking for live bed bugs, the doc says any signs of exoskeletons or fecal spots are good indications of a bed bug problem. Preventatively, he explains the wise move is storing luggage outside of bedrooms during visits.

Additionally, a thorough inspection of suitcases/backpacks, etc. is smart before catching a flight back home ... to prevent the critters from hopping continents.

Even if you're sure your gear is bed bug-free ... Dr. Fredericks says anyone visiting Paris oughta do a thorough wash of all their clothes, and dry them on a high heat setting. Once back in the U.S., he says it's better to be safe than sorry ... so, a dry clean wouldn't hurt either.

While blood-sucking bed bugs don't pose a risk of spreading disease, per se, they can be a major nuisance once they've set up shop ... all of which can be averted with preemptive action.

Flo Rida's baby mama says she's willing to settle the lawsuit over their son's near-fatal fall from her New Jersey apartment building ... but it's going to require an 8-figure payout.

According to new legal docs, obtained by TMZ, Alexis Adams says it will take $40 million for her to settle the suit she's filed against the various parties she claims are responsible for her son's fall from a Jersey City building.

Remember, Alexis and Flo's 6-year-old son Zohar fell from a 5th-story window back in March and landed on the concrete pavement below ... resulting in serious injuries.

As we reported ... Zohar was rushed to a hospital and placed in the ICU ... ultimately emerging in a full-body cast and then learning how to walk again. Doctors said it's a miracle the boy even survived the 50-foot fall.

Alexis is suing a construction company and a window installation company, among others, blaming them for installing "incorrect sized guards" on the windows ... which she believes allowed Zohar to fall. Flo Rida is not involved in the suit.

La madre del bebé de Flo Rida dice que está dispuesta a resolver la demanda sobre la peligrosa caída de su hijo desde un edificio de 5 pisos, y tiene un enorme pago de ocho cifras en mente.

De acuerdo con nuevos documentos legales obtenidos por TMZ, Alexis Adams dice que tendrán que pagarle 40 millones de dólares para resolver su demanda contra las distintas partes que ella afirma, son responsables de la caída de su hijo de un edificio de Jersey City (Nueva Jersey).

Alexis afirma que ella y el hijo de 6 años de edad de Flo Rida —Zohar— cayeron desde una ventana del 5 º piso en marzo y aterrizaron sobre el pavimento. Quedaron con lesiones graves.

Como informamos, ella afirma Zohar fue trasladado a un hospital y enviado a la UCI. Finalmente, salió con un yeso de cuerpo completo y la tarea de aprender a caminar de nuevo. Los médicos dijeron que es un milagro que el niño haya sobrevivido a la caída de 50 pies.

Alexis ha demandado a una empresa de construcción y a otra de instalación de ventanas y le ha dicho a los medios de comunicación que el incidente "es como una pesadilla". Flo Rida no está involucrado en la demanda.

Mientras que Alexis dice que 40 millones de dólares es lo que se necesita para llegar a un acuerdo, ($20 millones de un grupo de acusados y $20 millones de otro) no hay nada que muestre en los documentos que cualquiera de los acusados estén interesados en pagar esta cantidad para resolver el caso.

King Combs says he has every intention to carve out a hip hop legacy with his own original music, but when it comes to sampling, he admits ... sometimes it's hard to say no to a hit!!!

We got the Bad Boy Jr. at LAX on Wednesday and asked just how much access he has to his father's iconic tunes for use as samples when he's in the studio.

There's currently a raging debate in the rap world over whether today's samples of popular hits (some that already contain samples themselves) are innovative, or just downright lazy.

KC notes the success he's had with blasts from the past -- his Kodak Black collab "Can't Stop, Won't Stop" borrowed from Lil Kim's "Crush on You" and topped the Billboard rap charts ... while "How You Want It?" with Teyana Taylor used Mase and Total's "What You Want" melody and went Gold.

He recently made it a NYC summer with A Boogie, Fabolous and Jeremih by riding yet another Total wave on the track "Flyest In the City" and tells us he might have to hit the studio for a few more tracks that lean into past songs.

Folks can debate all they want, but for King, the proof is in the public reception.

King Combs dice que es muy consciente de que tendrá que labrarse su propio legado en el hip hop con su propia música original, pero cuando se trata de "samples" a veces es difícil decir que no a un éxito.

Nos encontramos con Bad Boy Jr. en LAX (Aeropuerto de los Ángeles) el miércoles y le preguntamos cuánto acceso tiene a las canciones icónicas de su padre para samplear su música.

En la actualidad, existe un acalorado debate en el mundo del rap sobre si los sampleos actuales de éxitos populares (algunos ya contienen sampleos en sí mismos) son innovadores o simplemente perezosos.

King destaca el éxito que ha tenido en el pasado con su colaboración con Kodak Black "Can't Stop, Won't Stop" cuando tomó prestada la canción "Crush on You" de Lil Kim y encabezó las listas de rap de Billboard y "How You Want It?" con Teyana Taylor utilizó la melodía de "What You Want" de Mase y Total y se convirtió en disco de oro.

Recientemente hizo una colaboración con A Boogie, Fabolous y Jeremih suviendose a la ola en la pista "Flyest In The City" y nos dice que puede que tenga que ir al estudio para afinar algunos detalles.

Conor Kennedy -- the third oldest child of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and the grandson of Robert F. Kennedy -- was 18 years old when the spotlight was shining bright on his trendy shag and tall stature back in 2012 ... dating one of the most famous stars of all time, Taylor Swift.

As you may recall, Conor and T Swift dated for a few months ... with some Swifties believing a handful of Taylor's tracks went to the tune of their summer fling.

Obvi, the Kennedy name has been around for decades but is currently making more noise as RFK Jr. is campaigning for the 2024 election.

Environmental activists stormed a theater where Les Misérables was being performed and took over the stage ... halting the production and leading to several arrests.

The chaotic scene happened during a Tuesday performance of the famous play in London's West End, where folks protesting against oil, gas and coal rushed the stage before the play was over.

Video shows demonstrators from "Just Stop Oil" storming the stage in the middle of a musical number ... with protestors shouting at the audience to "join the rebellion."

Police officers were called and five activists were arrested.

Demonstrators rushed the stage from either end as the Les Mis cast was performing the show's famous song, "One Day More." The show tried to go on but the cast was then escorted off stage, and the theater was evacuated and the show did not finish.

The audience booed the protestors as they held up orange banners with the Just Stop Oil logo ... with some in the crowd shouting at the activists to get the hell outta there.

Just Stop Oil says its goal is to demand governments stop licensing new oil, gas and coal projects ... and they've protested other big events like Wimbledon and vandalized famous Vincent Van Gogh artwork.

Activistas ecologistas irrumpieron en un teatro en donde se presentaba Los Miserables. Se tomaron el escenario, detuvieron la producción y varios de ellos fueron detenidos.

La caótica escena tuvo lugar durante una representación el martes de la famosa obra en el West End de Londres, donde personas que protestaban contra el uso del petróleo, el gas y el carbón se abalanzaron sobre el escenario antes de que terminara la obra.

El video muestra a los manifestantes de "Just Stop Oil" irrumpiendo en el escenario en medio de un número musical y alentando al público a que "se unan a la rebelión".

El teatro llamó a la policía y cinco activistas fueron detenidos.

Los manifestantes se abalanzaron sobre el escenario desde ambos extremos, mientras el reparto de Les Mis interpretaba la famosa canción del espectáculo, "One Day More." La producción intentó continuar, pero el elenco fue escoltado fuera del escenario, el teatro evacuado y el espectáculo quedó inconcluso.

El público abucheó a los manifestantes mientras sostenían pancartas de color naranja con el logotipo de Just Stop Oil. Algunos en la multitud les gritaban que salieran de allí.

Just Stop Oil dice que su objetivo es exigir a los gobiernos que dejen de conceder licencias para nuevos proyectos de petróleo, gas y carbón. La agrupación ya ha protestado en otros grandes eventos como Wimbledon y ha destrozado famosas obras de Vincent Van Gogh.

Fans of Britney Spears are doing a lot of celebratin' now that her sister, Jamie Lynn, is off "Dancing with the Stars" ... with some even claiming her removal means they'll finally start watching.

As we reported, Jamie Lynn got the boot Tuesday night, in just week 2 of the competition -- something that came as a shock to the judges, as well as JLS and her dance partner, Alan Bersten.

Well, fans of Britney are over the moon with Jamie Lynn's early removal -- one person online said, "She thought people were gonna vote for her? Babe... everyone literally hates you." Another said Jamie Lynn lacks "half the talent your sister ever had."

It's gettin' pretty brutal on X, where comments include ... she was "destined to lose" and "karma is a bitch."

When Alan reacted to getting kicked off the show by simply tweeting, "Damn" ... Britney fans flocked to his post, too ... but some showed support, with a side diss on Jamie Lynn, of course -- "Justice for Alan! You deserve an amazing partner next season!"

In case ya forgot, social media had much of the same noise last week when 'DWTS' debuted, and Alan was catching heat just for being paired with her.

Westside Gunn says his upcoming album "And Then You Pray For Me" should already be appraised as a classic -- artistically and musically -- with an exclusive Virgil Abloh painting for the project's artwork.

It’s the little attention to detail WSG is telling TMZ Hip Hop will set his album apart when it drops October 13, which he guarantees will become an art collectible down the line.

The Griselda Records founder tells us he's watched the competition for months, in what's been a light year for Hip Hop and is confident he has the Album of the Year ... Rick Ross, Ty Dolla $ign, Conway and Benny The Butcher are just a sprinkling of Gunn's heavyweight features but the album's key, he says, was tailor-making it to meet Virgil's heavenly approval!!!

WSG says Virgil convinced him to get a passport to attend his 2020 Off-White show in Paris -- a life-changing moment for the Buffalo, NY native as he began using his travels for content for his raps.

He had just dropped his "Dr. Birds" verse with the infamous line, "Told Virgil, write "Brick" on my brick" and was privileged to rub shoulders with the late Pop Smoke and Takeoff on the runway before their untimely deaths.

WSG's all about his music, but doesn't want beef ... especially with a little kid like Lil Tay.

Since Lil Tay's controversial reemergence, Gunn says Griselda fans have been on his head with claims she jacked his daughter Westside Pootie's style, as she's been spouting off audaciousness for years on his album.

Gunn tells us Pootie's been inspiring the comp for years ... and has even peeped kids following in her footsteps with the hand-drawn album covers like she did with his 2020 "Sunshine" album.

YNW Melly ahora tiene su propio cargo de manipulación de testigos, al igual que su coacusado YNW Bortlen, en el juicio de doble asesinato, pero sus abogados creen que los fiscales solo están tratando de encubrir los problemas de su caso.

Los fiscales confirmaron a TMZ Hip Hop que sorprendieron a Melly con el cargo de manipulación de testigos el miércoles en el condado de Miami-Dade, solo un par de días después de acusar a Bortlen de la misma falta.

El equipo de Melly está programado para comparecer ante el tribunal el viernes, en cuya audiencia van a argumentar que los fiscales han estado ocultando pruebas clave sobre el investigador principal del caso.

El abogado de Melly, Raven Liberty reaccionó a la nueva acusación, diciéndonos: "Este es un intento transparente y desesperado de la oficina del Fiscal del Estado para distraer al público de la deposición de un Asistente del Fiscal del Estado que acusó al detective principal de este caso y al fiscal principal de delitos graves, falsificando y encubriendo pruebas perjudiciales para el caso del estado".
