21 Savage MIA From Drake Performance In Canada ... Mystery Swirls

Published | Updated

UPDATE

8:47 AM PT -- Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ ... Canadian officials decided last minute 21 Savage could not enter the country though it’s unclear why.

21 Savage went MIA from his much-hyped performance with Drake in Canada after finally getting his Green Card -- and it's a big mystery why.

The rapper was supposed to perform with Drake at the Scotiabank Arena in Toronto Friday night, but Champagne Papi brought out Lil Baby instead.

WITHOUT A HITCH

The concert would have marked the first time 21 was legally permitted to travel outside the United States -- thanks to his shiny new Green Card. Unfortunately, that didn't happen, leaving everyone scratching their heads.

As we reported, Drake recently hinted in his rap song, "8AM in Charlotte," that 21 had finally overcome his immigration issues. He rapped, "Savage got a green card straight out of the consulate/Where I go, you go, brother, we Yugoslavian."

Back in 2019, 21 was taken into custody by immigration authorities in Georgia because he was actually a UK citizen -- living in the United States illegally on an expired visa. His case dragged on for years, and was further complicated by the fact he was caught with codeine and a handgun during the bust.

For months now, 21's been touring with Drake, but has never been able to hit locations outside the US -- most notably when Drake went to Vancouver and ushered Travis Scott onto the stage.

TUPAC SHAKUR Ex detective testifica en el caso Ve relación con el asesinato de Biggie Smalls

Published | Updated

El tiroteo que acabó con la vida de Tupac Shakur en 1996 estaría relacionado con el asesinato de su compañero Biggie Smalls al año siguiente, según el testimonio de un ex detective.

El detective retirado de la Policía Metropolitana de Las Vegas, Clifford Mugg, testificó ante el gran jurado del condado de Clark en el caso Tupac el mes pasado después de la reciente detención de Duane "Keefe D" Davis por el asesinato de la estrella del hip hop, informó CNN.

Mugg, uno de los investigadores del caso Tupac, declaró que personas "relacionadas con ambos asesinatos estaban involucradas", y añadió que la "teoría de que estaban relacionados era acertada".

No reveló los detalles de la teoría, pero admitió que hubo diferentes agresores en cada ataque, dando a Davis un pase en el asesinato de Biggie.

El fiscal Marc DiGiacomo preguntó: "Cuando dices que estaban relacionados, ¿no estás diciendo que fueron perpetrados por los mismos individuos?". Mogg respondió: "Eso es correcto". Davis fue detenido a finales de septiembre y acusado del asesinato de Tupac.

Mogg dijo que Davis se abrió camino a la cárcel por haber concedido numerosas entrevistas a lo largo de los años y por haber hablado abiertamente de su presunta implicación en el asesinato de Tupac. Según el testimonio de Mogg, Davis solo hablaba para que le pagaran por la historia.

Shakur fue asesinado a tiros en un vehículo conducido por el entonces director ejecutivo de Death Row Records, Suge Knight, mientras se encontraban en Las Vegas para ver una pelea de boxeo en septiembre de 1996. Suge resultó herido, pero sobrevivió.

En marzo de 1997, Smalls fue asesinado en un tiroteo en Los Ángeles.

Tupac Shakur Retired Detective Testifies In Murder Case ... Sees Link With Biggie Smalls Slaying

Published

Tupac Shakur's fatal 1996 shooting was related to the murder of fellow rapper Biggie Smalls the following year, according to grand jury testimony from a former detective.

Retired Las Vegas Metro Police Detective Clifford Mugg testified before the Clark County grand jury in the Tupac case last month after the recent arrest of Duane "Keefe D" Davis for the hip hop star's murder, CNN reported.

Mugg, one of the investigators in the Tupac case, testified people "associated with both murders were involved," adding that the “theory was accurate that they were related.”

He didn't reveal the theory but admitted there were different assailants in each attack, giving Davis a pass on the Biggie murder.

Prosecutor Marc DiGiacomo asked, “When you say they were related, you’re not saying perpetrated by the same individuals?” Mogg replied, “That’s correct.” Davis was busted in late September and charged with Tupac's murder.

Mogg testified Davis talked his way right into jail by granting so many interviews over the years and talking openly about his alleged involvement in the Tupac murder. Davis was only speaking out to get paid for the salacious story, according to Mogg's testimony.

Shakur was shot to death in a vehicle driven by then-Death Row Records CEO Suge Knight while they were in Vegas for a boxing match in September 1996. Suge was wounded, but survived.

In March 1997, Smalls was killed in a drive-by shooting in Los Angeles.

Ariana Grande, Dalton Gomez Divorce Settled Prenup and Payout

Published | Updated

Ariana Grande and Dalton Gomez have made quick work out of their divorce, settling up just weeks after they filed to end their marriage.

There weren't a whole lot of contentious issues ... there was a prenup, and, as we reported when we broke the story, Ariana cut Dalton a check ... and according to the settlement Dalton will receive $1,250,000, tax-free. Dalton is getting the money upfront, so there will be no spousal support.

Dalton will also receive 1/2 of the net proceeds from the sale of their L.A. home. And, Ariana will pay up to $25,000 of Dalton's attorney's fees.

A source close to the situation tells us, "There is still a strong mutual love and respect between Ariana and Dalton and they wanted to make sure everything was done right in lockstep with one another."

The settlement is standard operating procedure for Ariana's lawyer, disso queen Laura Wasser, who tries -- usually successfully -- to quickly settle even the most contentious divorces. You'll recall, she recently settled the bitter divorce between Kevin Costner and Christine Baumgartner.

The settlement has been filed with the court, and all that's left is for the judge to sign and they will be single again.

Ariana is in deep with her newest boo, "Wicked" co-star Ethan Slater, and we're told Dalton is dating as well.

The date of separation on the divorce docs is February 20, but they didn't file for divorce until last month.

We're told the 2 are parting company with no hard feelings, so it's as clean as it can be.

Ariana Grande, Dalton Gomez Divorcio resuelto Acuerdo prenupcial y pago

Published | Updated

Ariana Grande y Dalton Gomez han resuelto rápidamente su divorcio, llegando a un acuerdo apenas unas semanas después de que presentaran la demanda para poner fin a su matrimonio.

En este caso, no había un montón de cuestiones polémicas, sino un acuerdo prenupcial, tal como informamos cuando dimos la noticia. Ariana firmará un cheque, que según el acuerdo, correspondería a $1,250,000, libres de impuestos. Dalton está recibiendo el dinero por adelantado, por lo que no habría manutención conyugal.

También recibirá la mitad de los ingresos netos de la venta de su casa de Los Ángeles. Y Ariana pagará hasta $25.000 de los honorarios del abogado de Dalton.

Una fuente cercana a la situación nos dice: "Todavía hay un fuerte amor mutuo y respeto entre Ariana y Dalton y querían asegurarse de que todo se hiciera bien".

El acuerdo es el procedimiento operativo estándar para la abogada de Ariana, la experta Laura Wasser, que utiliza para resolver rápidamente incluso los divorcios más polémicos, por lo general con éxito. Como recordarán, recientemente resolvió el amargo divorcio de Kevin Costner y Christine Baumgartner.

El acuerdo ha sido presentado en el juzgado y solo falta que el juez lo firme para que vuelvan a estar solteros.

Ariana está muy enganchada con su nuevo amante, el coprotagonista de "Wicked", Ethan Slater, y nos dicen que Dalton también está saliendo con alguien.

La fecha de separación en los documentos es el 20 de febrero, pero no solicitaron el divorcio hasta el mes pasado.

Nos dicen que los dos se separan sin resentimientos, por lo que esta disolución es tan limpia como un divorcio puede ser.

It's time to GET LOUD, because Jennifer Lopez has entered the chat, and she's not only ready to take some fan selfies, but she's here to stomp you with these two shots! Are you up for the challenge?!

Jenny from the Block left her ball and chain back at Dunkin', stepping out earlier this week in LA and was a total baddie in beige. "Don't be fooled by the (new) rocks that she got," because she's still got some switch-ups in her back pocket 😜!

Also, "Ain't it funny" JLo's bun-y seems a smidge bigger?

Keith Sweat Drake Deserves His R&B 👑 They Hated On My Vocal Range, Too!!!

Published

Keith Sweat was singing female fans outta their bras before Drake was even born, but the R&B legend thinks Mr. OVO is now wearing the R&B crown!!!

We caught up with Mr. Make It Last Forever at LAX this week and he gave props where they were due, anointing Drizzy ... who infamously called himself the "light-skinned Keith Sweat" back in 2013!!!

Drake just delivered his new 23-track "For All The Dogs" album with a wide assortment of R&B tracks and singing ... as heard on his #1 hit "Slime You Out" with SZA.

Keith says Drake is doing his thing on the singing front, and he should ignore critics of his vocal range. He says he got the same limited-range diss during his heyday.

Keith admits he was no Stevie Wonder or anything -- but he and his signature twang sold millions of records by dropping rug cutters in an era when singers simply sang and rappers just rapped. As far as he's concerned, Drake's earned his stripes in both genres and deserves all his flowers.

We don't know about bouquets, but the project is a shoo-in to top the next Billboard 200.

J. Cole Still Down for NBA YoungBoy Collab ... Don't Trust Everything on IG

Published | Updated

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.

Cole went on to give Kendrick Lamar a sports analyst shout-out ... dubbing himself, K Dot and Drake as rap's reigning "Big 3" ... while still proclaiming to be the sole greatest, like Muhammad Ali.

Travis Kelce Responds To Rodgers' 'Mr. Pfizer' Joke ... Stands By Getting Jab

NO HARM DONE

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.

"You got a lot of people that care about Taylor and for good reason," Kelce said. "Just gotta keep living and learning and enjoying the moments. At the end of the day, I've always been pretty good with compartmentalizing and being able to stay focused in this building. I'll just keep rollin' with that."

Travis Kelce Responde a Rodgers por broma sobre 'Sr. Pfizer' Firme con la vacuna...

No hay problema...

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.

"Tienes a un montón de personas que se preocupan por Taylor y con justa razón", dijo Kelce. "Solo hay que seguir viviendo y aprendiendo y disfrutando de los momentos. Al final del día, siempre he sido bastante bueno para separar las cosas y he tenido la capacidad de mantener la concentración en este edificio. Voy a seguir así".

Kanye West Files for 'YEWS' Trademark ... Financial Services, Clothing, Streaming & More

Published | Updated

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.

FROM THE MOUTH OF KANYE

As we reported, he was blasted for praising Hitler on "Info Wars" along with his other attacks against Jewish people on social media. Kanye's been mostly out of the public eye since the controversy -- spending the last several months in Europe.

Corey Feldman Famous Jacket's Been Found ... After Claiming It Was Stolen

Published

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.

No word if Corey's going to dish out the $1,000 reward he offered for info on the jacket's whereabouts.

Kanye West Solicita la marca "Yews"... Servicios financieros, ropa, streaming y más

Published | Updated

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.

Salió de la boca de Kanye...

Como informamos, el rapero fue duramente criticado por alabar a Hitler en "Info Wars" y realizar otros ataques contra el pueblo judío en las redes sociales. Kanye ha estado fuera del ojo público desde la controversia, pasando los últimos meses en Europa.

Chrisean Rock My Baby's Surgery Was A Success!!!

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."

Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.

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.
