42 Dugg's release from prison this week is music to 03 Greedo's ears ... he says Dugg actually used to reach out to him during his own lengthy prison bid!!!

Greedo tells TMZ Hip Hop the Detroit rapper is arguably his fave to hail from the Motor City ... acknowledging Dugg was "going through some things" amid his sentence for gun possession.

Dugg lashed out at his prison conditions last year with claims he had to heat up his food with murky water from the shower ... but Greedo foresees smooth sailing for Dugg, as he's part of Yo Gotti's powerful Collective Music Group conglomerate.

As we reported, Gotti welcomed Dugg back into the CMG and they headed straight to the studio after getting some grub.

Greedo says the best course for Dugg is to get back on the move like he never left -- he says that's what worked for him after he was released!!!

The "Wolf Of Grape Street" was released from prison at the top of the year after serving a 5-year bid, and says he's been able to stay booked on tours with the music he's released.

Jeezy is finally breaking his silence on his divorce from Jeannie Mai ... saying the call to pull the plug wasn't an easy one, but his love for his estranged boo isn't lost.

In a statement given to TMZ, Jeezy says, "The decision to end this chapter in my life was not made impulsively and comes with a heavy heart. Despite this, my love and respect for Jeannie remains and the time we spent together holds a cherished place in my heart."

He continues, "Our beautiful daughter is the best gift from our relationship and I am committed to assuring she feels the love and stability she deserves."

As we reported, Jeezy filed for divorce last month in Georgia, saying in the docs there was no hope for reconciliation. The 2 share their 1-year-old daughter, Monaco, together ... and we we're told there was a prenup set in place.

You'll recall, Jeannie was being accused of cheating on Jeezy with "Access Hollywood" host, Mario Lopez -- but a source close to her said that was in no way true.

Jeezy finalmente rompió el silencio sobre su divorcio con Jeannie Mai, diciendo que terminar no fue fácil, y que su amor por ella aún existe

Jeezy nos dice: "La decisión de poner fin a este capítulo de mi vida no se hizo impulsivamente y viene con el corazón encogido. A pesar de ello, mi amor y respeto por Jeannie permanecen y el tiempo que pasamos juntos ocupa un lugar preciado en mi corazón".

Y continúa: "Nuestra preciosa hija es el mejor regalo de nuestra relación y me comprometo a asegurarme de que sienta el amor y la estabilidad que se merece".

Como informamos, Jeezy solicitó el divorcio el mes pasado en Georgia, diciendo en los documentos que no había esperanza de reconciliación. Los 2 comparten a su hija de 1 año de edad, Mónaco, y nos dicen que había un acuerdo prenupcial establecido en su lugar.

Usted recordará que Jeannie fue acusada de engañar a Jeezy con el anfitrión de "Access Hollywood" Mario López, pero una fuente cercana a ella dijo que eso no era cierto en absoluto.

Britney Spears no va a hacer una gira de prensa de televisión para promover su nuevo libro de memorias. La cantante ha tomado la decisión de omitir cualquier entrevista para ayudar a impulsar las ventas del libro.

Fuentes cercanas a Britney nos informan que está pasando de hacer cualquier promo televisada para su próximo libro de memorias, "The Woman in Me", lo mismo ocurre con cualquier otra entrevista adicional en el futuro.

Ha habido rumores de que a Britney se le pidió aparecer en "60 Minutos", además de una entrevista exclusiva con Oprah Winfrey y otros programas, y nos informan que nada de esto se va a concretar.

En caso de que te lo hayas perdido, Britey recientemente le concedió una entrevista a la revista People sobre su muy esperado libro de memorias, pero nuestras fuentes dicen que esas preguntas fueron contestadas por correo electrónico.

La idea de no aparecer en TV en muy Britney... al parecer el libro se puede vender por sí solo. La gente que la rodea también entiende que esto podría problemático si tuviera que responder preguntas personales en vivo.

Como informamos,  ciertos fragmentos de su libro ya han revelado mucho sobre su pasado, incluyendo a su exnovio, Justin Timberlake, quien dice que la dejó embarazada y la presionó para que abortara cuando solo tenían 19 años.

Britney Spears won't do a TV press tour to promote her new memoir ... the singer has made the decision to skip any sit-down interviews to help boost book sales.

Sources close to Britney tell TMZ ... she's passing on doing any televised promos for her upcoming memoir, "The Woman in Me" -- same goes for any other additional interviews moving forward.

There have been rumors that Britney was getting asked to appear on "60 Minutes," an exclusive interview with Oprah Winfrey, and other shows ... we're told none of those will happen.

In case ya missed it, Brit recently chatted with People Magazine about her much-anticipated memoir, but our sources say those questions were all answered over email.

The call to skip TV was all Britney's, BTW ... and we're told her book is gonna sell off its own power alone. Those around her also understand it would open up a lot of problematic doors if she were to jump back into the interview game, getting hit with personal questions.

As we reported, snippets of her tell-all have already revealed a LOT about her past -- including her ex-boyfriend, Justin Timberlake ... whom she says got her pregnant and pushed for her to get an abortion when they were just 19.

9:50 AM PT -- More attorney issues for Duane "Keefe D" Davis ... and the arraignment has been delayed once more. The new date is November 2 at 9 AM.

Duane "Keefe D" Davis -- the man arrested for allegedly killing Tupac Shakur -- is about to appear in court to face a murder charge in the nearly 30-year-old case.

The 60-year-old suspect is scheduled to show face at Clark County Court in Vegas around 9 AM Thursday ... where he will appear in front of Judge Tierra D. Jones for his arraignment.

He appeared in court 2 weeks ago, but the lawyer he hired was a no-show. His arraignment was then pushed to Thursday.

Clark County D.A. Steve Wolfson said in a press conference after the initial hearing that Keefe D was expected to plead not guilty to the charge of murder with the use of a deadly weapon in relation to the shooting of Tupac in 1996.

As we reported, Keefe was arrested at the end of September -- on top of the murder charge, he was also hit with a gang enhancement.

TMZ obtained body cam footage from his arrest ... showing cops walking up to him on a residential street to bust him, and Keefe acting pretty compliant throughout the arrest.

Cops say they reopened the case 27 years after Tupac was killed because Keefe has been outspoken in interviews about being involved in the rapper's murder.

9:50 AM PT -- Más problemas con el abogado de Duane "Keefe D" Davis, y la lectura de cargos se ha pospuesto una vez más. La nueva fecha es el 2 de noviembre a las 9 AM.

Duane "Keefe D" Davis, el hombre detenido por presuntamente matar a Tupac Shakur está a punto de aparecer en la corte para enfrentar el cargo de asesinato a casi 30 años del caso.

Está programado que el sospechoso de 60 años aparezca en la Corte del Condado de Clark en Las Vegas alrededor de las 9 AM del jueves, en donde comparecerá ante la jueza Tierra D. Jones para su lectura de cargos.

Keefe D estuvo en la corte hace 2 semanas, pero el abogado que contrató no se presentó. Su comparecencia fue aplazada para el jueves.

El fiscal del Condado de Clark, Steve Wolfson, dijo en una conferencia de prensa después de la audiencia inicial que se esperaba que Keefe D se declarase no culpable del cargo de asesinato con el uso de un arma mortal, en relación con el tiroteo de Tupac en 1996.

Como informamos, Keefe D fue detenido a finales de septiembre. Además de la acusación de asesinato, el sospechoso fue acusado de ayudar a las pandillas, en un cargo conocido como gang enhacement en inglés.

TMZ obtuvo imágenes de su detención, que muestran a los policías caminando hacia él en una calle residencial y Keefe actuando bastante obediente durante todo el arresto.

Los policías dicen que reabrieron el caso 27 años después de la muerte de Tupac porque Keefe había sido franco en las entrevistas sobre su participación en el asesinato del rapero.

Buns were on the menu at Eric and Jessie James Decker's house on Wednesday ... 'cause the ex-NFL star ditched his clothes and cooked dinner in the buff -- and luckily for us, his wife shared the visuals!!

The 36-year-old former wider receiver proved he's more of a tight end in retirement ... getting completely naked and throwing on an apron to commemorate JJD's new cookbook hitting the shelves earlier this month.

"To celebrate one week of 'Just Eat' being out I know I promised we would do another cheeky Eric cookbook photo 😂," JJD said on Instagram. "So in honor here it is and Eric also made his chicken chili tonight and let me say, yum yum yum!!!"

JJD made sure not to put Eric's whole ass out there for the world to see, though ... censoring his booty with a carefully placed emoji.

As it turns out, Eric has been doing his part to help spread the word about his partner's project -- he also went buck nekkid and posed with her book back in August.

Travis Kelce vive su vida a lo grande y parte de la razón tiene que ver con Taylor Swift... TMZ ha indagado.

Fuentes familiarizadas con la situación nos dicen que el Chiefs tight end acaba de comprar una nueva casa en Kansas City con la venta de cierre el martes. Nos han dicho que la compró por poco menos de seis millones de dólares. Al parecer la compró porque es mucho más grande y más aislada que su antigua casa.

Nuestras fuentes dicen que la propiedad se encuentra en una comunidad cerrada y es una mansión que cuenta con 6 dormitorios, 6 baños y más de 16.000 pies cuadrados de espacio habitable.

Además es muy lujosa, nos dicen que hay una piscina con una cascada adjunta, además, una cancha de tenis y pickleball, por no hablar de un mini campo de golf. Ahora, en cuanto al porqué de la mudanza, nuestras fuentes dicen que había un par de cosas que le molestaban, principalmente la necesidad de más privacidad.

Nos dicen que en la antigua casa de Travis era demasiado accesible al público y estaba empezando a convertirse en una atracción turística y Travis estaba empezando a sentirse incómodo.

Estor resultó ser un problema el fin de semana pasado, cuando TayTay vino a visitar Trav en Kansas City - sólo para tener paparazzi parque fuera y husmear en 'em.

En pocas palabras, quería estar en un lugar más seguro y sí, nuestras fuentes dicen que salir con Taylor en este momento sin duda un factor en su decisión. Dicho esto, nos dicen que compró esta casa con su propio dinero en efectivo y que es solo suya.

Travis Kelce is leveling up his living situation big time -- and part of the reason has to do with Taylor Swift ... TMZ has learned.

Sources familiar with the situation tell us the Chiefs tight end just bought a new home in Kansas City, with the sale closing Tuesday. We're told he snapped it up for just under $6 million ... and, yes, for that kinda dough in KC, he's getting a place that's way bigger and more secluded than his old house.

Our sources say this pad is in a gated community, and it's a straight-up mansion ... 6 bedrooms, 6 baths and over 16,000 square feet of living space!!!

It also screams luxury ... we're told there's a pool with a waterfall attached -- plus, a tennis and pickleball court, not to mention a mini golf course. Now, as far as why he upgraded ... our sources say there were a few things nagging him, including needing more privacy.

We're told at Travis's old house, it was simply far too accessible, and was starting to become a tourist attraction ... with people swinging by and staking out the place -- Travis was getting uncomfortable with the situation.

That actually proved to be an issue as recently as this past weekend ... when TayTay came to visit Trav in Kansas City, only to have paparazzi park outside waiting for any shots of the couple.

Bottom line, he wanted to be in a more secure spot -- and yes, our sources say him dating Taylor right now certainly factored into his decision.

And, we know what some Swifties might be thinking, but, no ... we're told he bought it with his own cash, and it's his alone.

7:00 PM PT -- Trey Songz's attorney, Michael Freedman, tells TMZ, "This is yet another example of nearly decade-old allegations being repurposed to take advantage of California's constitutionally questionable new look back window. We look forward to vindicating Trey on the merits in court."

Trey Songz is being sued by two women who claim they passed out at his house party only to wake up to him forcing himself on them with nonconsensual sex.

According to a new lawsuit, obtained by TMZ, the women are accusing Trey of sexual assault and battery for an alleged 2015 incident at his Los Angeles-area estate.

In the docs, the women say they first met Trey in June 2015 when they went to his concert and got invited to an after-party he was hosting. They say subsequent interactions led them to be invited to his home in August for his birthday party.

The women claim they took an Uber to Trey's home and were forced to give a password and turn over the phones to gain admittance. Inside, they say it was mostly women and only a handful of men, and the ladies were pressured to drink alcohol from unsealed bottles.

In the suit, the women say they suddenly felt overwhelmingly intoxicated, despite drinking what they felt was a modest amount ... and believe they were drugged.

They claim they sat on a couch by the pool and that's when Trey swooped in and led them to an upstairs bedroom where they passed out with their clothes on.

The next morning, the women say the woke up naked ... with a naked Trey forcing himself on them.

One woman claims Trey was giving her nonconsensual oral sex. She says she tried to resist but he overpowered her.

The other woman claims she woke up to Trey biting her nipple and forcing his fingers inside her vagina.

In the suit, the women say Trey demanded they take a shower with him after the alleged sexual attacks ... but they say they refused and he became enraged, yelling at them ..."You are little f****** girls, get the f*** out of my house."

The women say they grabbed their clothes and tried to leave, but Trey refused to turn over their phones. Eventually, they say a security guard intervened, gave them their phones from a safe, and they called an Uber.

In their suit, the women say they've suffered lasting injuries from the alleged incident ... and they're going after Trey for damages.

We reached out to Trey's camp ... so far no word back.

Nobody does Halloween quite like K-pop stars ... putting their creative costumes on display for their fans to go wild, and we're taking a look at some of the best fits from year's past.

BLACKPINK certainly shows out ... Jennie's rocked a custom "Nini" sailor 'fit, and Rosé previously went as a nerdy "student of the month."

Jisoo and Lisa also teamed up for an impromptu photo shoot -- with the former dressing up as her groupmate's "LALISA" cover look ... and the "Money" rapper electing to go with the "Red Light, Green Light" doll from Squid Game.

The Pinks have some competition though -- Kevin from The Boyz went as creepy Cruella, and Stray Kids' Hyunjin had a Harry Potter-themed getup that would make Draco Malfoy jealous. They really got the villain look down!!

Giselle from Aespa and I.N. from Stray Kids were on the same wavelength ... as both did their best Harley Quinn -- and they crushed it!!

Disney's been a theme, too -- (G)I-dle's Miyeon was the perfect Snow White, and Karina from Aespa decided on the Queen of Hearts from "Alice in Wonderland." Felix from Stray Kids also went the Mickey Mouse route with his Elsa from "Frozen" ... and now we're dying to hear him cover "Let It Go."

10/20 -- Just as we told you, Wale released his Def Jam debut on Friday ... the new single "Max Julien."

The theme is giving 'Return of the Mack' vibes to signal the veteran rapper's grand return.

Wale announced his return to music earlier this week -- shockingly, his last official release was 2 years ago, but his time away has blossomed into a new label deal with Def Jam Records!!!

Sources close to the "Album About Nothing" rapper inform TMZ Hip Hop ... he signed with the storied label several months ago, and it will be instrumental in navigating the next facet of his career, including the new track he's dropping Friday.

We're told Wale is excited about his new situation, but this isn't his first rodeo and he doesn't want to do much disruption on social media to blur the fan's listening experience.

In other words, he's a focused man just like the label's biggest alum.

Joe Budden & Podcast Co. were extremely thrilled with the news and praised Wale for truly using his time away as an actual hiatus ... Wale's renowned for using social media as an open-book diary, and Joe thinks it was clouding the vision.

He's already hit the ground running at the new office -- adding synergy to the joint venture Def Jam inked last year with Nigeria-based Native Records ... via a feature on ODUMODUBLVCK's "Blood On the Dance Floor" ditty alongside Bloody Civilian.

We're told there are also plans to take his native D.C. by storm. Yes, Chocolate City ... Wale's coming home!!!

We won't call it a comeback because he's been here for years, but we gotta allow him to reintroduce himself, though.

Billie Eilish está mostrando la versión completa de su tatuaje en la espalda y los fans están bastante divididos en sus reacciones.

La cantante publicó una foto el miércoles. Aparece acostada sobre su estómago en lo que parece ser un estudio de tatuajes. Billie tiene su espalda desnuda expuesta, mostrando un diseño intrincado que atraviesa su columna vertebral y se ve recién hecho.

No está claro si se trata de una foto vieja. Hemos visto atisbos de este tatuaje antes, pero nunca completo. No sabemos si Billie está mostrando algún avance o simplemente es un recuerdo de la primera sesión.

En cualquier caso, el tatuaje luce un poco manchado e incompleto. Ha habido reacciones mixtas en línea, a algunos les gusta y a otros no son mucho.

Este es solo uno de varios tatuajes que tiene Billie. Tiene uno en el pecho que dice "Eilish", otro de un dragón en el muslo y otro que muestra las hadas en la mano.

Billie Eilish is showing off the full version of her massive back tattoo, a piece she's teased before ... and fans are pretty mixed on their thoughts.

The singer posted a pic Wednesday as part of a larger October photo dump -- and in it, she's laying on her stomach at what appears to be a tattoo shop. Billie's got her bare back exposed, showing some sort of intricate design that runs down her spine -- and it looks fresh.

Unclear if this is a shot that she's had in her camera roll for a while ... we've seen glimpses of this tat before, but have never seen the entire thing. This is either Billie showing that she's gotten more work on it recently, or just a flashback to when she first got it done.

In any case ... the tattoo here looks a little smeared and incomplete. There've been mixed reactions to the ink online -- some dig it, others aren't big fans.

FWIW, this is just one of a handful of tats she has ... Billie has one on her chest that reads "Eilish," another one of a dragon on her thigh and yet another showing fairies on her hand.

Myke Towers isn't looking to follow in his fellow Puerto Rican trapper Bad Bunny's footsteps by locking down a celeb relationship -- a la Kendall Jenner -- instead, the "LALA" artist says he has options, and he's ready to explore 'em!!!

TMZ Hip Hop quizzed the Reggaeton megastar about his relationship status outside 'Jimmy Kimmel,' and while he played it coy, Myke ultimately told us the single life works best for him now.

He made it clear, he doesn't want to piss off his existing roster of women. Yeah, we know, first-world playboy problems!!!

It's not hard to see why Myke is iffy on tying down the right one, he's been crackin' since winning the "Best New Artist" at the Billboard Latin Music Awards a couple of years ago.

He dropped his recent album "La Vida Es Una" back in March ... and his track "LALA" has been racking up platinum plaques in the Latin market left and right.

We also inquired about Tekashi 6ix9ine's current standing amongst fans in P.R., especially in light of his recent legal drama in the Dominican Republic for alleged assault.
