Treach has been a hip hop star longer than a lot of today's acts have been alive and he's warning them all not to become a statistic like his homie Tupac Shakur -- and cover all their bases!!!

TMZ Hip Hop caught up with the Naughty By Nature legend in NYC last week and he was pumped the dispensary he co-owns with Ice-T out of their New Jersey stomping grounds is up and running.

The weed biz in Dirty Jerz is volatile right now ... Raekwon and several others just shut down their sativa shops, but Treach says "The Medicine Woman" has all the juice anyone in the new jack city could ever want!!!

Treach is also coming off a successful nationwide tour on "Jason's Lyric" playwright ... where he co-starred and rapped, reprising his role as "Alonzo" from the film.

We asked him what it'll take for today's new rappers to unlock the road to entrepreneurship as he did and Treach bluntly tells them to avoid the groupie love!!!

Treach claims his 1999 marriage to Sandra "Pepa" Denton from Salt-N-Pepa was a direct result of seeing Tupac get convicted of sexual misconduct, resulting in him serving 9 months in prison ... a saga in which Treach sounds like he's still not convinced the truth was revealed.

A$AP Rocky was recently spotted out and about without his usual bounce in his step -- instead, the rapper needed a wheelchair just to get inside a car!!!

TMZ Hip Hop obtained the puzzling pics and video of Rocky being assisted into a custom yellow Hummer outside an office in West Hollywood.

Rocky's face looks completely distressed as his head can be seen poking out from under a blanket as two bodyguards help him into the whip.

Adam Lambert is turning the page on his Hollywood Hills chapter -- but it’s not without a little sting in the wallet … TMZ has learned.

Real estate sources tell us the Grammy-nominated singer sold his hillside estate on Monday for $6.2 million. That's below the $7.375 million price tag he slapped on it back in May. Adam shelled out $6.5 mil for it when he bought the place in 2018.

Still, the house is nothing short of show-stopping -- with four bedrooms, six bathrooms, and enough resort-style amenities to make you feel like you’re on a permanent vacation. It's got all the bells and whistles ... a sparkling pool, spa, outdoor kitchen, fire pit, and a private gym.

The property has long been a jewel in Lambert's real estate portfolio, often making cameo appearances on his socials thanks to its sleek architecture and sweeping city views.

As we told you ... Adam's been spending less time in L.A. and more time in New York City.

Astronomer just tapped a new interim CEO ... and he’s already breaking his silence on the Coldplay cheating scandal. His message? The company’s been through storms before, and this one’s no different -- they’ll bounce back, business as usual!

Pete DeJoy dropped an official statement on Astronomer’s site, saying after a decade of building this biz, they’ve been tested time and again -- and every time, they’ve come out stronger. Translation: they plan to ride out this controversy the same way.

Pete added the past few days brought media frenzy most companies -- let alone a niche data-and-AI startup -- never see, so the spotlight’s been surreal for the team.

Atlanta rapper Ca$h Out was found guilty of rape and sex trafficking charges last week and will spend the rest of his life in prison!!!

On Monday, Ca$h Out, born John Michael Hakeem Gibson, learned his fate in an Atlanta courtroom after a months-long trial that found him guilty of violating the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act for leading a prostitution enterprise.

Linda Smith -- Ca$h Out's mother -- was also convicted as a co-defendant and sentenced to 30 years, while his right-hand man in the operation, Tyrone Taylor, received the same sentence as Ca$h Out.

WNBA star Courtney Williams thought Diplo was boring the crowd with his EDM setlist during an after-party -- and demanded he play some hip hop pronto!!!

The wild scene happened at Sports Illustrated's All-Star after-party on Saturday night, where Diplo was the enlisted paid DJ, but Courtney didn't think he was doing his job properly.

Courtney confronted Diplo in the middle of his set, bombarding him with song requests, which he didn't seem to grasp in real time, but he eventually changed things up -- much to the approval of Williams.

Diplo didn't take it personal -- he's been a pro DJ for eons and later posted Courtney jamming to the GloRilla "TGIF" track he dropped to make her happy.

Justin Bieber's dropping hints about his drug use, and it seems he's not ready to quit anytime soon -- judging by his cryptic repost, anyway.

The singer posted a clip Sunday from DMX's 2013 "Iyanla, Fix My Life" appearance, where Iyanla Vanzant asked the rapper if he wanted to live clean -- and let's just say, his hesitation spoke volumes.

DMX shot back, "When you say clean -- no weed? No drinking? Nothing?" and when Iyanla clarified that meant being a "clear, pure vessel for the voice of God," he quickly shut down the whole "clean living" thing, saying he was exactly where he needed to be with God.

Selena Gomez celebrated her 33rd birthday with her fiancé, Benny Blanco, and some close friends -- and she had a very special guest, too.

Taylor Swift showed up to her BFF's bday bash Sunday with a 1970s "Saturday Night Fever" theme -- and everyone had one helluva great time!

Check out photos posted to Selena's Instagram page ... In one, Taylor and Selena pose together surrounded by balloons. Taylor wears a glittering dress, and Selena sports a shiny jumpsuit.

Tyler, The Creator's new album is here ... and the rapper pulled out all the stops to promote a new song from the project -- getting LeBron James and his right-hand man to star in the visuals!!

The 34-year-old MC released his ninth studio album, "Don't Tap The Glass," late Sunday night ... and followed up with the music video for the lead single, "STOP PLAYING WITH ME," to kickstart everyone's work week.

The entire two-minute, 30-second clip features Tyler dancing in a room with two large speakers behind him ... and crumpled up newspapers flying around on the ground.

Kylian Mbappé's known for his feet, but it was the soccer superstar's hands that caught fans' attention on Sunday night ... as he waved 'em in the air like he just didn't care at Bad Bunny's Puerto Rico show!!

The Real Madrid forward hit Benito's concert in San Juan -- and he was spotted on multiple occasions dancing his tail off while the "Tití Me Preguntó" crooner entertained the masses.

Mbappé was onstage for the gig -- and there was some famous company alongside him, as Paris Saint-Germain star Achraf Hakimi hit up the show as well.

Jennifer Lopez got "On The Floor" during a recent concert ... and, she got on some dudes, too -- hitting some sexually suggestive poses with her dancers.

The singer-songwriter took the stage at the Cook Music Festival on Tenerife -- an island off the coast of Spain -- Saturday night ... and, she put on a raunchy display for the crowd.

Check out the video ... J Lo's crawling all over the stage -- nearly locking lips with one dancer before bending over and backing it up on another's crotch.

Sia and Harry Jowsey shocked a lot of fans Saturday ... 'cause they were spotted holding hands in L.A. -- and, now everyone wants to know if they're a couple.

The singer-songwriter and the reality TV star were spotted leaving the restaurant Ca Del Sole ... all smiles while they made their way through the parking lot.

Ray J lit up the night as the celebrity guest host on Saturday's "TMZ After Dark" tour -- and let’s just say, he brought the drama, the music and a whole lot of tea!

As the party bus cruised down Sunset Blvd, Ray J didn't hold back ... talking about how he wasn't approved for membership at SoHo House and how difficult it is to get into Craig's -- lifting the lid on superstar life in L.A.

The real chaos hit when we pulled up outside Craig's. Paparazzi and fans swarmed, snapping shots of Ray holding court from the TMZ bus.

Coldplay's tour isn't just making headlines for the music anymore -- it's still riding the wave of the scandal that started with one very public cuddle.

At Coldplay's Madison, Wisconsin concert Saturday night -- the band’s first show since that kiss cam moment last week -- one fan held up a sign that had the entire crowd laughing. The sign read, "He's not my CEO," complete with an arrow pointing to the man beside her.

The cheeky placard was a clear nod to the scandal involving former Astronomer CEO Andy Byron and the company's head of HR, Kristin Cabot, who went viral last week after being caught on the venue's kiss cam in an intimate moment at Coldplay's Massachusetts concert.

The "Summer House" crew is getting in on the viral kiss cam chaos that's had the internet talking all week -- and they're doing it with a heavy dose of humor.

Bravo stars Kyle Cooke, Carl Radke and Jesse Solomon, took to TikTok to poke fun at the moment former Astronomer CEO Andy Byron was caught on the Coldplay concert kiss cam with Kristin Cabot. The viral moment, which exploded online showed the pair in a cozy embrace at the band's Massachusetts show last week.

The video recreates the scandalous scene in which you see Carl wrap his arms around Kyle while Chris Martin's voice plays in the background. The two pretend to panic as if they've just realized they're being broadcast to thousands on the stadium’s giant screen -- mimicking Byron and Cabot's stunned reaction.

Those hoping for fun moments from Travis Kelce and Bad Bunny in "Happy Gilmore 2" are in luck ... Julie Bowen tells TMZ Sports the guys are great in the flick!!

When it came to the Kansas City Chiefs tight end, Bowen told us, "He's a star. He's always been a star. He continues to be a star."
