Ty Dolla $ign distanced himself from Kanye West during one of Ye's antisemitic tirades this year, and now he appears to be handling some of his legal issues on his own, too ... Ty just settled a copyright infringement case brought forward by Memphis rap vet Criminal Manne ... even though it looks like Kanye hasn't given up yet.

We broke the story back in November 2024 ... Ye and Ty Dolla $ign were both sued by Criminal Manne, DJ Squeeky and Rayna B. Rufus, who claim they never cleared samples that appeared on the short-lived duo ¥$'s chart-topping "Vultures 1" album released in January last year.

According to docs obtained by TMZ Hip Hop, Ty Dolla $ign and Create Music Group reached a confidential settlement in principle with the parties that they expect to be finalized in the next 30 days ... but the agreement does NOT include Ye or his Yeezy Record Label LLC.

A casual stroll, a swanky dinner, and now TMZ can reveal Katy Perry and Justin Trudeau wrapped it up with cozy drinks on a terrace -- a really long hangout session for two A-listers ... but sure, they're totally "just friends."👀

Yep, it’s the hangout that keeps on giving, and TMZ’s got every moment. Check this video -- Justin was looking every bit the ladies' man, arm practically welded to Katy’s waist as they left Montreal’s Taverne Atlantic ... with sources telling us they enjoyed some drinks on the terrace.

If that doesn’t scream romance, then we don't know what does. Whiskey is on the menu at the Atlantic ... but we're told when Katy first ordered a Jack and Coke, she quickly found out they don’t sell much American liquor in Canada due to the new tariffs ... so she ordered Crown Royal Canadian whiskey instead.

The terrace tête-à-tête capped off a whirlwind few hours that, as TMZ told you, started with a scenic park stroll.

It looks like country star Adam Mac won't be writing any breakup anthems anytime soon -- because he just married his long-term partner, Lee Pfund!

The singer and his new husband tied the knot in June 2025, following a year of engagement, although he didn't let his fans know about the union for a month, when he shared a post about the ceremony on his Instagram ... gotta keep 'em guessing!

We're going to take a look into the background of the musician's spouse and see how they went from meeting through friends to planning a life together.

Pfund's originally from the Memphis, Tennessee area, and he holds a bachelor's degree from the University of Memphis, according to his LinkedIn.

The country singer's new husband's worn plenty of hats within the real estate industry, and he currently works as a managing broker and realtor in the Nashville area, where he moved in 2013.

Mac gave People a bit of insight into his partner's background in a 2024 sit-down and claimed Pfund "wasn't even really a country music fan" prior to attending CMA Fest in 2017.

The singer added his now-husband was won over when his mother "dragged him" to a Maren Morris show, where he "fell in love" with the genre.

Mac's love story with Pfund began after the 2017 CMA Fest, when they met at a bar after being introduced by mutual friends.

Although the two quickly became "obsessed with each other" and moved in together, the singer claimed his now-husband wasn't exactly rushing to tie the knot.

Mac stated he, as well as Pfund, apparently "grew up knowing that it was not an option," and added marriage wasn't really on his partner's mind when they first started dating.

However, the realtor eventually changed his mind, as he proposed in January 2024, and Pfund popped the big question by having the phrase "Will you marry me?" printed on two sides of their dog's ID tag -- how's that for puppy love?!

Mac and Pfund made things official during a wedding ceremony in Sedona, Arizona, where they'd spent time on an anniversary trip a few years prior to tying the knot, according to Us Weekly.

The singer and his husband decided to keep their ceremony intimate and "deeply personal," as they "didn’t want anything big" to mark the occasion.

The happy couple is also planning a reception for their family and friends in Nashville, set to take place later in 2025, and they're looking into honeymooning in Europe.

Lionel Messi was captured on the Coldplay Kiss Cam -- a dangerous place to be these days -- but, no Astronomer reenactment here ... the soccer legend hit up the show with his wife, Antonela Roccuzzo!

As you would expect, the crowd went nuts when Messi was shown on the big screen, including Coldplay's frontman, Chris Martin.

GloRilla may have found herself a baller ... she and NBA star Brandon Ingram were seen getting close at a Cabo nightclub -- and left together in the wee hours of the morning.

In new footage -- obtained by TMZ -- the rapper is seen all over the Toronto Raptor ... wrapping her arms around his neck as they swayed together on the dance floor early Monday morning.

We're told GloRilla was celebrating her birthday -- which is today -- at a nightclub called Balam ... and an eyewitness tells us when she and her crew took over an entire section as soon as they arrived.
