One of Justin Bieber's closest associates is taking a break from the singer ... and it's because of Justin's pastor Judah Smith.

Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ ... Ryan Good, Justin's former road manager and the creative director at JB's fashion brand Drew House, hasn't spoken to Justin in over a year.

We're told Ryan and Justin haven't talked since Ryan left Churchome in Beverly Hills ... it's the church Bieber still belongs to, and where Judah serves as pastor.

Kanye West struck chords and nerves in abundance by revealing he and his convicted murderer male cousin used to hook up as young teens ... and many of his rapper peers feel it explains the root of his troubles.

Boosie Badazz, who's typically on the offensive on non-heterosexual relationships, cut Ye some slack ... but felt that energy would be channeled to fighting enemies down the line.

A$AP Ferg also sent Ye love from afar, as the situation hits close to home for him.

Lil Uzi Vert is currently getting medical treatment in NYC -- the "Eternal Atake" rapper was rushed to a hospital ... TMZ Hip Hop has learned.

Paramedics responded to an EMS call Monday afternoon for a "sick person" in Lower Manhattan.

An eyewitness at the scene tells us Lil Uzi was wheeled out of the lobby of a luxury condominium building on a gurney around 2:30 PM and loaded into the ambulance.

50 Cent and Joe Budden have been going tit for tat for weeks on social media ... but it was all good when they came face-to-face at the Knicks heated playoff game last night!!!

A source close to 50 Cent’s floor seat act tells TMZ Hip Hop the G-Unit general -- along with Fat Joe -- were invited guests of Madison Square Garden and were supporting the NYK.

We’re told 50 had no idea Budden was even at the game until they showed 50 on the Jumbotron -- and saw Joe cheering for him on the big screen.

Tina Knowles battled breast cancer last year -- and says she shudders thinking what could’ve happened if it hadn’t been caught early ... especially since she’d already missed a scheduled mammogram.

Beyoncé’s mom is opening up about the life-changing ordeal in her new book -- "Matriarch: The Memoir" -- to PEOPLE and CBS Mornings, saying she finally rescheduled the mammogram she missed during the COVID pandemic … and that’s when docs found two tumors.

She said one tumor was benign, but the other turned out to be stage 1 breast cancer in her left breast ... admitting she was in total disbelief -- especially since she’s always been on top of her health.

Kanye West and Bianca Censori are social media official again ... because he just posted a photo with her online after an intimate dinner date overseas.

Ye and Bianca look and sound like they're giving their marriage another go ... based on his social media post and some new info we're learning about their recent outing in Spain.

Kanye and Bianca first raised eyebrows Friday night when they were spotted at an Indian fusion restaurant in Mallorca, and folks who work there tell us the pair seemed "nice and happy" while breaking bread.

Kendrick Lamar's "Not Like Us" producer Mustard may have to craft another diss groove -- he's in an all-out war o' words with Drake's "Gimme a Hug" producer, Gordo!!!

The drama unfolded last week when Mustard unfollowed Gordo on social media, prompting Gordo to take shots of his own ... shaming Mustard for jockeying Kendrick's every move but not feeling any reciprocals.

On Monday, Mustard drew the line in the sand once and for all, telling him to kick rocks while challenging him to a game of "Big Bank Take Lil Bank."

Mozzy is outside feeding the streets -- both musically and literally!!!

The Sacramento-bred, L.A.-embraced rapper just dropped his new album "Intrusive Thoughts" and tells TMZ Hip Hop it's his civil duty to give back to the community that helped raise him.

We got up with Mozzy at Bootleg Kev's What Up Dough Pizza in Burbank on Friday and he broke down the definition of the "pain music" he's being championed for mastering.

Mozzy says his fans recognize real and everyone is familiar because they come from the same struggle ... the hardcore music acts as therapy for them!!!

Justin Bieber flipped a switch after flipping out on photogs who snapped him on his way into a coffee shop near Coachella ... because he was kind and respectful inside the store.

The Biebs went ballistic on shutterbugs outside The Vintage Coffee House in Indio before Coachella Weekend 1 ... but the shop owner tells us Justin was a completely different person once he walked in the door.

We're told Justin was kind, friendly and sweet after the heated tirade at the paparazzi ... and he was totally calm inside the shop.

"It's Britney, Bitch ... or is it, "It's Tyla, Bitch?!"

Singer Tyla paid serious homage to Britney Spears during her Coachella performance -- owning the stage in a near-identical 'fit to Britney's iconic "I'm a Slave 4 U" look.

No question the "Water" singer slayed in the desert -- exposing her midriff and sportin' a green bralette and short-shorts, but the question here is: Who'd You Rather?!

VOTE NOW!

Kanye West is claiming he and a now-incarcerated male cousin sexually experimented with each other when they were kids -- an experience he's turned into a new song, believing it contributed to both of their dark paths.

Debuting a new grungy song called "COUSINS" on Monday, Ye sings about stumbling upon adult magazines as a kid, noting the mags he found in his late mother Donda's possession were of the homosexual variety.

Ye says he eventually showed the mags to his cousin and they reenacted the male-on-male kissing scenes ... leading Ye to eventually "suck his d!ck" until the age of 14.

Justin Bieber was looking rough during Week 2 of Coachella 2025, at least according to some fans who viewed videos of the pop star partying it up.

Check out the footage posted on social media ... which shows The Biebs shirtless with his tatted super slim body as he puffs on what appears to be a joint or a stogie at a soiree near the Coachella music festival in Indio, California.

On Sunday, TMZ posted video and photos of Justin at the same event -- Friday Nights in the Desert -- a private party in Thermal, California ... but the cameras captured JB from far away so you couldn't get a good look at him.

Here's a good way to pass some time on your Monday ... guessing the sexy singer in this reflective bikini!!!

This smoking hot babe is one of Colombia's finest exports ... she's big in Latin America and pretty popular in the States too.

She was missing from Instagram for about 4 months, and just came back with a vengeance ... posting a bunch of sexy shots that we're showing you here.

We definitely missed her -- and her hot bod -- and are glad she's back ... so check out the gallery to see what we're talking about.

Her biggest songs include "QLONA," "PROVENZA," "TQG," "+57" and "Si Antes Te Hubiera Conocido." Not Becky G, but ...

Rob Gronkowski's playing days are behind him, but his body certainly didn't get the memo ... 'cause the future Hall of Famer looked NFL ready while hosting his post-WrestleMania rager!!

The four-time Super Bowl champion held his famous Gronk Beach bash at LIV Beach at Fontainebleau Las Vegas after all the WWE festivities concluded over the weekend ... allowing fans in attendance to keep the night going after John Cena's historic win over Cody Rhodes.

At one point in the shindig, Gronk elected to drop top ... and even though there was a bunch of drinking involved, he was showing off a different kind of six pack.

John Cena just became the first 17-time champion in WWE history after beating Cody Rhodes at WrestleMania 41 ... but he didn't do it alone -- he got a bit of an assist from Travis Scott in the process.

The main event just went down at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas ... with Cena and Rhodes brutalizing each other as the former looked to surpass Ric Flair as the most decorated wrestler in the organization.

Mid-match, La Flame showed up and made a lengthy walk to the ring to help his buddy, Cena ... and played a crucial role by going after the ref when Rhodes tried to secure the win.

The Chainsmokers wanted to rock an event for Arizona State University ... pulling up to play a frat party -- but, Johnny Law showed up to douse that idea really quick.

Alex Pall and Drew Taggart pulled up to Tempe, Arizona Friday ahead of Breakaway Festival -- a popular EDM festival -- that took place in Phoenix over the weekend.

The duo crashed a frat party at FIJI to play free for 100's of students... and, they ended up having a face-to-face meeting with some police officers -- who weren't happy about the massive event one bit.
