Meek Mill felt the need to go on "public record" about Diddy parties he's attended ... amid the spiraling allegations being flung around the Bad Boy mogul's federal sex trafficking case.

Speculation about Meek's involvement with Diddy has run rampant since he was linked in producer Lil Rodney's lawsuit last year ... which has since had several key complaints tossed out.

On Tuesday, Meek called all allegations an attack on his brand before flipping to his experience at Diddy parties ... he's claiming the craziest thing he's seen is "coke vibes."

SZA's Los Angeles stint for her "Grand National" tour is off to a depressing start ... the R&B star claims she persuaded a child to forfeit their fruity whippet at an In-N-Out parking lot!!!

The "Kill Bill" singer didn't specify how old she thought the young fan was, but says she convinced them to hand over a can of SuperWhip strawberry-banana-flavored nitrous oxide, in exchange for a photo/video for their IG ... where are the parents?!?

SZA says she'll do everything in her power to help change the scenario, but ripped America for making drugs so marketable and alluring to children.

Rihanna and A$AP Rocky ate this after-dinner photo shoot in Cannes ... with RiRi flaunting her baby bump alongside her better half.

The power couple posed for pics underneath a bridge in the French city ... with a mural dedicated to the movie "Pulp Fiction" serving as their backdrop.

Rihanna's embracing a chic "Mother Earth" aesthetic ... baby bump pouring out the bottom of her crop top -- while Rocky's got his arms wrapped around her, grinning wide for the photo.

Rapper Rod Wave was arrested in Fulton County, Georgia Tuesday on 14 charges -- including aggravated assault involving the use of a firearm at his Atlanta-area home ... which cops say broke his previously granted bond.

Here's what went down ... RW was visiting his place on April 21 with his realtors and other associates after it had been burglarized. Police say he and one of his associates got into a verbal argument as they were carrying out items from the residence ... which is when a Glock 20 10mm semiautomatic pistol was pulled and fired.

The "Street Runner" artist allegedly fired 14 rounds in total -- 11 hit his associate's 2025 Mercedes G Wagon, 1 round struck his 2022 Rolls-Royce, 1 round hit the wall of his residence, and the final round has not been located, according to law enforcement.

Chris Brown can breathe a sigh of relief because he was just granted bail after his arrest for assault in the United Kingdom, TMZ has confirmed.

The R&B singer did not appear for a hearing in London's Southwark Crown Court Wednesday ... but a judge signed off on releasing him from jail, paving the way for him to begin his world tour in a few weeks.

The judge ordered Chris — who has not yet entered a plea -- to pay 5 million in British pounds as a security fee to the court, which translates to roughly $6.7 million in American dollars. We don't know the details of his bail conditions, but we'll update you once we get word.

American musician and songwriter Morris Day -- and the funky frontman for the Minnesota music consortium, The Time -- was in his mid-20s when he shot to stardom with jams like "Jungle Love" in the '80s.

His charting single "Fishnet" reached number 23 on the Hot 100 chart, and with his popular bops, Day dabbled on the big screen -- playing himself in Prince's 1984 movie "Purple Rain" and "Graffiti Bridge" (1990).

As far as TV acting roles -- he was on NBC's sitcom series "227" with Marla Gibbs and ABC's "New Attitude" with Sheryl Lee Ralph.

Kendrick Lamar gave Dee-1 the greenlight to be a "party pooper" last year ... and the New Orleans rapper is doing just that by inserting himself into the middle of the raging lyrical war between Joey Badass and multiple West Coast MCs!!!

ICYMI -- and there's been a lot to catch -- Joey has released several diss tracks in the past few days, including one a few hours ago titled "The Finals."

Joey's diss back in January rubbed L.A. rappers such as Ray Vaughn, AZ Chike and Daylyt the wrong way, and they've all been firing back at him with spicy records of their own!!!

Justin Bieber is making a head-turning admission -- he claims he once told Hailey she'd never be on the cover of Vogue during a "huge fight" ... as she now graces the magazine's summer cover.

The Biebs made the candid confession on Instagram alongside a pic of the model's new spread while apologizing for his hurtful words.

He says he told her she'd never land the front spot on "Vogue" -- which they did together in 2019 -- because he felt "so disrespected" during their argument and wanted to get "even."

It doesn't seem Vince Neil is letting his split with his longtime partner, Rain Hannah, get him down ... 'cause we have pics of him strolling through Nashville while holding hands with two women -- at the same time.

Check it out ... the Mötley Crüe frontman looks at ease as he walks near the Barstool Bar in Music City Monday afternoon with a mystery brunette and blonde -- who are both wearing heels and curve-hugging ensembles.

Everyone seems to be in a chipper mood ... and no signs of jealousy when at one point Vince is only holding the smiling brunette woman's hand.

Hailey Bieber is opening up about childbirth like never before -- just under a year after giving birth to her and Justin Bieber's first child ... revealing death crossed her mind as she dealt with serious postpartum complications.

The Rhode Beauty founder candidly discussed her unmedicated birth while speaking to Vogue for the mag's summer cover story -- revealing she experienced a "scary" postpartum hemorrhage that made her weigh the possibility of death.

She explains that although she trusted her doctor with her life, she was "bleeding really badly" after her 18-hour labor, adding ... "And people die, and the thought crosses your mind."

David James, a former personal assistant to Diddy, is continuing his testimony in the disgraced rap mogul's federal sex trafficking and racketeering trial in NYC Tuesday, and he told the jury about a harrowing incident in L.A. involving another titan of the music industry.

James was asked about a 2008 incident at a Mel's Diner, a restaurant in L.A., involving former rap mogul Suge Knight (who's currently in prison for an unrelated crime). James described driving a Lincoln Navigator SUV to get cheeseburgers, accompanied by a man named D-Roc.

James testified D-Roc recognized Suge Knight at the location, and went over to talk ... but Knight apparently didn't recognize D-Roc, who said "I'm Biggie's boy," referring to slain rapper Notorious B.I.G. (who was murdered in the city in 1997).

Odell Beckham Jr. is rallying behind Chris Brown, who's been sitting in a UK jail cell since Thursday, taking to social media with a message of support -- "Free Breeeezyyy!"

Brown, 36, was locked up last week for an alleged incident going back to 2023 ... when the Grammy Award-winning performer allegedly smashed a liquor bottle over a music producer's head.

CB was charged with one count of grievous bodily harm ... and will remain in custody until his first appearance at London's Southwark Crown Court on June 13.

Breezy fans have been outraged over the idea of Chris sitting behind bars ... and Beckham is right there with 'em.

A bunch of Average Joes and Janes will get a chance to go head-to-head with the biggest names in sports and entertainment ... and if that wasn't cool enough, there's also nearly $2 million in prizes on the line!!

Cher is using her starpower for the good of Los Angeles' beloved zoo elephants Tina and Billy again ... signing a letter sent to Mayor Karen Bass to demand the beloved creatures be transferred from the L.A. Zoo to a sanctuary -- and not to the Tulsa, Oklahoma zoo as planned.

Cher appears on the list signed by several celebs -- such as Alicia Silverstone, Diane Warren, Katherine Heigl, Nicola Peltz Beckham and Justin Theroux -- that was delivered to L.A.'s mayor Monday to advocate for the health and well-being of the zoo's longtime resident elephants.

The letter argues the arranged transfer of Billy and Tina to Tulsa to join five other Asian elephants will only worsen their suffering, and that they deserve to be released to a proper elephant sanctuary so they can "live their twilight years with liberty and dignity."

Lisa Bloom says testimony from Cassie Ventura and Dawn Richard is essential to the prosecution's criminal case against Diddy ... but she says the feds are far from finished, and they've got plenty of time to close any loops the defense finds.

The famed attorney, who is also representing Dawn in a civil suit against Diddy, joined us on "TMZ Live" Monday and explained how Dawn's testimony is geared towards the RICO charges against Diddy.

Lisa says the fact Dawn told the jury she saw Diddy with guns and drugs is super important ... even though Diddy defense attorney Nicole Westmoreland got Dawn to admit she never saw Diddy use a gun or pay for drugs.
