Cardi B claims she's got dirt on a bunch of people -- including her estranged husband Offset -- that she's about to drop ... all because she says he's using bloggers to come after her.

The rapper hosted a session on X Spaces ... and, she fired off some shots at her soon-to-be ex-husband during the convo -- alleging he's actually consorting with online blogs to spread rumors about her.

Listen to the clip for yourself ... Cardi says she's constantly had trolls hitting her up or messaging people she's close to -- and, it's clearly upsetting her. Now, she says it's her turn, 'cause the "demon is inside" of her and she's gotta let it out.

Lt. Andrew Smith of Atlanta PD told reporters ... an unidentified man -- assumed to be Scooter -- suffered a severe leg injury while fleeing officers on foot. Smith did not give more detail to the exact nature of the injury -- but the femoral artery is in the leg.

Britney Spears did not leave much to the imagination in her latest Instagram post -- sporting a teeny tiny red thong ... and maybe even commenting on all her biopic casting rumors.

She lays it all out, singing … "Were we just mistaken? / Disguised our intentions? / Our nest was a masquerade / Why do I still protect you? / Pretend these songs aren’t about you."

Sharna Burgess thinks Machine Gun Kelly's just trying to mark his territory ... claiming he's simply trying to assert his authority by sending a threatening DM to her man, Brian Austin Green.

Brian laughed off the message ... and, it looks like Burgess isn't taking it too seriously either -- 'cause she posted a simple "lol" followed by, "That was about the equivalent of a dog pissing on its territory making it known it's back in the area. So eloquently put too. Bravo."

The decision came down Thursday when a parole board in Texas denied Yolanda Saldívar's bid for freedom ... citing the violent nature of her crime and claiming she still poses a "continuing threat" to the community.

Yolanda worked for Selena until March 9, 1995 when Selena's dad fired her after accusing her of embezzling money from the Tejano star's clothing company, which was planning to open a boutique in Monterrey, Mexico.
