J. Cole knows his fans and stans love to stir the pot -- a frustrating social media experience for him -- but contrary to popular belief, he's still down to record with NBA YoungBoy!!!

Cole World made the revelation on his blistering "First Person Shooter" duet off Drake's new album "For All The Dogs" following widespread speculation (by us, too) he lyrically thrashed YB while rapping with Lil Yachty on "The Secret Recipe."

On his verse, Cole scolds fan-fueled rumors but admitted to taking secret joy in seeing his name looped with misinformation -- "N****s so thirsty to put me in beef/Dissecting my words and start lookin' too deep ... I look at the tweets and start suckin' my teeth I'm letting it rock 'cause I love the mystique/I still wanna get me a song with YB/Can't trust everything that you saw on IG" ... evidence he recorded these bars recently.

YoungBoy vented over a miffed Cole feature on his “F**k the Industry Pt. 2" track back in May ... and now it's guaranteed their meet-up will be a pleasant exchange.

Travis Kelce is taking Aaron Rodgers' playful diss in stride ... admitting he thought it was actually funny when the Jets superstar referred to him as "Mr. Pfizer" earlier this week -- but doubling down on his decision to be a vaccine spokesperson.

Kelce addressed AR8's recent comments on the "Pat McAfee Show" with reporters on Friday ... cracking a few jokes of his own as he discussed the whole ordeal.

"I thought it was pretty good," Kelce said at the Chiefs' facility. "I mean, with the 'stache right now, I look like a guy named Mr. Pfizer. Who knew I'd get into a vax war with Aaron Rodgers, man. Mr. Pfizer versus the Johnson & Johnson family over there."

Of course, Kelce is referring to Jets owner Woody Johnson, who is an heir to the Johnson & Johnson pharmaceutical company.

TK then got real for a second ... explaining his reason for getting the jab.

"I got it because of, you know, keeping myself safe, keeping my family safe, the people in this building. So yeah, I stand by 1000%. Fully comfortable with him calling me Mr. Pfizer."

Kelce -- who celebrated his 34th birthday on Thursday -- was also asked about his recent romance with Taylor Swift and the hype around it ... and he knows he brought all the attention on himself.

Travis Kelce se tomó con calma la broma de Aaron Rodgers, admitiendo que le pareció muy divertido cuando la superestrella de los Jets se refirió a él como "Sr. Pfizer" a principios de esta semana, al mismo tiempo que reafirmó su decisión de ser portavoz de la vacuna.

Kelce abordó los recientes comentarios de AR8 en el "Pat McAfee Show" el viernes, haciendo algunas bromas mientras discutía sobre lo ocurrido.

"Me pareció muy bueno", dijo Kelce en las instalaciones de los Chiefs. "Quiero decir, con el bigote de ahora, me parezco a alguien que se llame Mr. Pfizer. Quién habría pensado que me iba a meter en una guerra de vacunas con Aaron Rodgers. El Sr. Pfizer contra la familia Johnson & Johnson".

Por supuesto, Kelce se refiere al propietario de los Jets, Woody Johnson, que es heredero de la compañía farmacéutica Johnson & Johnson.

Luego Travis se pone serio por un segundo y explica los motivos para tener la vacuna.

"La tengo porque ya sabes, me mantiene a salvo, a mi familia, a la gente en este edificio. Así que sí, la apoyo al 1000%. Totalmente de acuerdo con que me llame Mr. Pfizer".

A Kelce -que celebró su cumpleaños 34 el jueves- también se le preguntó por su reciente romance con Taylor Swift y todo el bombo alrededor de ella, y bueno, él está consciente de que atrajo toda la atención sobre sí mismo.

Kanye West is reportedly working behind the scenes to lock down trademark rights to "YEWS," a phrase he wants to slap on just about everything .. from streaming to restaurants.

The filing, obtained by TMZ, and first submitted earlier this month is linked to an LLC called Ox Paha Inc. We've never known Kanye to be associated with that LLC, but it has an address listed to Kanye's office on Melrose Ave.

Unclear if there's anything Kanye wants to do specifically with the word -- if he's the guy who filed for it -- but he's taking just about every realm of possibility with it.

The docs want to use "YEWS" for financial services, real estate, clothing (footwear, headwear, jeans, etc.), music and audio, entertainment content, beauty products, restaurants and so much more.

Of course, while Kanye hasn't publicly said anything about the word "YEWS" -- people are already speculating it's got some sort of connection to "Jews" and the controversy surrounding Kanye.

Corey Feldman can relax ... he's getting back his studded leather jacket from "Dream a Little Dream" -- just a couple days after he said it was stolen, which now seems like a slight overreaction.

The manager for the 'Goonies' star tells TMZ ... an employee at the New Jersey restaurant where Corey was performing live music apparently found the jacket in a bathroom, and locked it in an office.

Remember, Corey hopped on social media Wednesday and franticly posted a thread in ALL CAPS about his coveted jacket being stolen from backstage, and wondered who would have the audacity to take such a beloved item from his wardrobe.

Now it sounds like Corey was seriously jumping the gun with his assumption someone walked off with it, and his manager says they're hoping to pick up the jacket today.

Of course, one reason Corey might have assumed the worst is that his jacket was legitimately stolen once before in L.A., only for it to pop up years later at a Boston flea market and make its way back to Corey.

This time, Corey lost the jacket during his Sunday gig at Homestead Bar & Kitchen in Morristown, NJ. A rep from the bar confirmed the jacket was found in the very bathroom where Corey changed ... so, no big mystery on how it ended up there.

The jacket, which Corey wore in "The 'Burbs" and "Married With Children," holds sentimental value for him ... he says it's a reminder of his late friend, actor Corey Haim.

Se dice que Kanye West está trabajando tras bambalinas para conseguir los derechos de la marca "YEWS", una frase que quiere poner en casi todo, desde streaming hasta restaurantes.

La presentación, obtenida por TMZ y presentada por primera vez a principios de este mes, está vinculada a una LLC (un tipo de sociedad) llamada Ox Paha Inc. No sabíamos que Kanye estaba asociado con esa LLC, pero esta tiene una dirección que corresponde a la oficina de Kanye en Melrose Ave.

Aún no está claro si Kanye quiere hacer algo en particular con la palabra -si es que él la presentó- pero está considerando casi todas las posibilidades con ella.

Los documentos muestran que quiere utilizar "YEWS" para servicios financieros, bienes raíces, ropa (calzado, sombreros, pantalones, jeans, etc.), música y audio, contenido de entretenimiento, productos de belleza, restaurantes y mucho más.

Por supuesto, aunque Kanye no ha dicho nada públicamente, la gente ya está especulando que esta tiene alguna conexión con los "judíos" y la polémica que rodea a Kanye.

Chrisean Rock says her son is recovering after undergoing surgery to remove the hernia that Blueface brought to the world's attention.

Chrisean posted a boomerang video holding a smiling Chrisean Jr. Friday from his hospital bed, nothing the newborn was "recovering so fast."

As we reported, the youngster was suffering from an inguinal hernia ... and Blueface blamed Chrisean for mistreating their son by not getting him treatment soon enough. The rapper also posted a nude photo of the child, showing his condition ... and got a ton of heat online.

Despite the backlash, Blue's mother Karlissa Saffold defended her son to TMZ Hip Hop ... even going as far as to blanket it as a teachable moment for new parents and their child's medical issues.

We're not even a month removed from Chrisean facing the wrath of the internet and Blue's family as she let her baby dangle loosely during a Walmart shopping trip.

Nicki Minaj fans have long held onto a promise from Drake that she'd be featured on his new album, but the rapper failed to deliver on that promise ... and the Barbz are pissed.

Drake's "For All The Dogs" packs on several big-name features ... 21 Savage, Bad Bunny, Sexyy Red, and J. Cole, just to name a few, but Nicki's fans are now taking her absence as a sign of disrespect ... especially after she publicly pushed for the album to drop.

There's still a chance the collab could appear on Nicki's "Pink Friday 2" album when it drops in November but the Barbz would hear none of it and called for their Queen to cut all ties from Drizzy!!!

Los fans de Nicki Minaj se han aferrado por mucho tiempo a una promesa de Drake, de que la artista estaría presente en su nuevo álbum, pero el rapero no cumplió con su palabra... y las Barbz (como se denomina su fanaticada) están muy enojadas.

El álbum de Drake, "For All The Dogs", está repleto de colaboraciones con artistas de gran nombre, como 21 Savage, Bad Bunny, Sexyy Red y J. Cole, por nombrar unos pocos, y los fans de Nicki están tomando su ausencia como una falta de respeto, sobre todo después de que ella presionara públicamente para que saliera el disco.

¡¡¡Todavía hay una posibilidad de que la colaboración aparezca en el álbum de Nicki, "Pink Friday 2", cuando se lance en noviembre, pero las Barbz no quiere saber nada de eso y le están pidiendo a su reina que corte todos los lazos con Drizzy!!!

21 Savage tiene su Green Card y finalmente está haciendo uso de ella, porque según ha indagado TMZ, se uniría a Drake este fin de semana en Toronto.

Fuentes con conocimiento directo le dicen a TMZ que 21 y su equipo estarán en "The 6" el viernes y sábado por la noche para las paradas en Toronto de la gira "It's All a Blur". Es la primera vez en años que 21 puede salir legalmente de Estados Unidos.

Drake lanzó su esperado álbum "For All The Dogs" el viernes e insinuó que 21 finalmente había resuelto sus problemas de inmigración en la canción "8AM in Charlotte".

En ella Drake rapea: "Savage consiguió una tarjeta verde directamente del consulado / Donde yo voy, tú vas, hermano, somos yugoslavos".

Fue en 2019 cuando 21 fue detenido por el ICE (el Servicio de Control de Inmigración y Aduanas de Estados Unidos). En ese entonces nos enteramos de que 21 era en realidad del Reino Unido, y que había estado viviendo ilegalmente en los Estados Unidos con una visa expirada. El caso se prolongó durante años y se complicó aún más por el hecho de que fue atrapado con codeína y una pistola durante la redada.

Por supuesto, 21 ha estado de gira con Drake desde hace meses, pero nunca había podido ir a lugares fuera de Estados Unidos. De hecho, cuando Drake fue a Vancouver decidió llevar consigo a Travis Scott en lugar de 21.

21 Savage has a Green Card and he's finally putting it to good use, joining Drake in Toronto to perform together ... TMZ has learned.

Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ 21 and his team will be in "The 6" Friday and Saturday night for the Toronto stops of the "It's All a Blur" tour. It's the first time in years 21 has legally been able to leave the United States.

Drake dropped his highly-anticipated "For All The Dogs" album Friday, and hinted 21 had finally cleared his immigration issues on the track "8AM in Charlotte."

Drake raps, "Savage got a green card straight out of the consulate/Where I go, you go, brother, we Yugoslavian."

It was back in 2019 when 21 was taken into custody by ICE, and we learned he was actually from the UK -- living in the United States illegally on an expired visa. The case dragged on for years, further complicated by the fact he was caught with codeine and a handgun during the ICE bust.

Of course, 21's been touring with Drake for months now but has never been able to hit locations outside the US -- most notably when Drake went to Vancouver and brought Travis Scott out in place of 21.

Soak up his new album, "For All the Dogs," because Drake is dropping the mic -- he says he's walking away from music to deal with a health issue that's plagued him for a long time.

He made the bombshell announcement Friday morning on his SiriusXM show "Table for One" ... saying, "I need to focus on my health, first and foremost." Apparently, he's been battling a gastrointestinal issue ... he says, "I've been having the craziest problems for years with my stomach."

He didn't get any more specific about the ailment, but says it's gonna require enough of his time that "I'ma lock the door on the studio for a little bit. Maybe a year or something ... maybe a little longer."

It's a huge revelation, and not just for his fans, but for the music industry as a whole. Quite frankly, Drake's thing has been quantity -- the guy cranks out records very regularly.

He's dropped 9 studio projects in the last 13 years, most of them packed with #1 hits that dominate radio play and streaming services.

But, just hours after releasing his latest, he's making it clear he's got more important things to deal with now -- "I need to focus on my health, and I need to get right."

Britney Spears needed some serious rest and relaxation after becoming the target of social media criticism for dancing with knives ... and decided the best place to escape was a private island.

Sources close to the pop star tell TMZ, she and a group of friends took off to the famous Brando hotel in French Polynesia this past weekend.

Britney shared a quick video of herself and some pals in a private plane as they flew over the crystal blue water near the resort.

Fans speculated one of the men onboard the plane, and sitting closest to Britney, could be a new love interest, but our sources say that's not the case ... they're simply acquaintances.

Of course, it's no surprise why Britney might have wanted to escape.

She took a ton of heat for posting multiple videos dancing with knives, a stunt that even prompted a police response for a welfare check. Britney has maintained the knives were fake, but some disagree.

If the Brando sounds familiar ... it's the same spot Beyoncé recently rented out for her birthday during a small break from her "Renaissance" tour. Kim Kardashian also took a group of her closest friends and family members there for her 40th birthday.

The resort features a bunch of private villas, offering anywhere from one to four-bedroom accommodations.

Beyoncé rented out the cream of the crop for her bday bash ... a villa with a private pool which usually goes for about $20,000 per night.

Drake fulfilled his lifetime dream of collaborating with Sade on his new "For All The Dogs" album, even if it is in the form of the teeniest tiniest contribution.

The reclusive R&B legend pops up to plug the album's Snoop Dogg-hosted mock radio station "BARK Radio" at the tail end of "BBL Love - Interlude" ... an ode to surgically enhanced women.

Sade only offers a couple of words, but it's been years since anyone has heard from her on a track -- 2018 to be exact, and Drake managed to be the one to get her.

Drake attempted to recruit Sade on his debut album all the way back in 2010, which she declined, not because she wasn't a fan of his buzz but because she's never done collaborations and didn't want to disappoint anyone.

Snoop's cameo can be found at the close of the Drake and J. Cole face-off "First Person Shooter" ... which is currently attracting memes by the thousands.

Disfruten mucho el nuevo álbum de Drake, "For All the Dogs", porque el rapero planea alejarse de los escenarios y de la música por un tiempo, para hacer frente a un problema de salud que lleva arrastrando desde hace años.

El cantante lanzó la bomba el viernes por la mañana en su programa de SiriusXM, "Table for One", diciendo: "Tengo que enfocarme en mi salud, en primer lugar y principalmente". Al parecer, Drake ha estado luchando contra un problema gastrointestinal que describe así: "He estado teniendo los problemas más locos con mi estómago por años".

El rapero no especificó mucho más sobre su dolencia, pero dijo que va a requerir una buena parte de su tiempo, por lo que cerraría la puerta a los estudios por un tiempo. "Quizá un año o quizá un poco más".

Se trata de una gran revelación, y no solo para sus fans, sino que para la industria musical completa. Francamente, lo de Drake ha sido la cantidad: saca discos con mucha regularidad.

Ha lanzado nueve proyectos de estudio en los últimos trece años, la mayoría de ellos repletos de éxitos que dominan la radio y los servicios de streaming.

Britney Spears necesitaba un poco de descanso y relajación luego de convertirse en el blanco de las críticas en redes sociales por bailar con cuchillos y decidió que el mejor lugar para escapar era una isla privada.

Fuentes cercanas a la estrella del pop le informaron a TMZ que ella y un grupo de amigos fueron al famoso hotel Brando en la Polinesia Francesa este pasado fin de semana. Britney compartió un video de ella y algunos amigos en un avión privado mientras se acercaban al resort.

Los aficionados especularon que uno de los hombres a bordo del avión que estaba sentado cerca de Britney podría ser un nuevo interés amoroso, pero nuestras fuentes dicen que no es el caso y que son simplemente conocidos.

Podemos imaginarnos por qué Britney quiso escapar. Recibió mucho hate luego de la publicación de un video bailando con cuchillos. Incluso provocó una respuesta de la policía para un control de bienestar. Britney ha mantenido que los cuchillos eran falsos, pero algunos no estaban de acuerdo.

Si el Brando te suena familiar, es porque es el mismo lugar que Beyoncé alquiló recientemente para su cumpleaños durante un pequeño descanso en su gira "Renaissance". Kim Kardashian llevó a un grupo de sus amigos y familiares más cercanos a The Brando para celebrar su 40 cumpleaños.

El complejo cuenta con un montón de villas privadas, que ofrecen desde uno a cuatro dormitorios.

Beyoncé alquiló el sector más exclusivo. Una villa con piscina privada que por lo general cuesta alrededor de $20.000 por noche.
