Offset seemingly set his sights on Cardi B and Stefon Diggs in his latest song ... appearing to shade the hell outta the new couple with some vicious lyrics.

Offset released his newest project, "Haunted by Fame," on Friday ... and one track in particular has listeners talking.

In "NO SWEAT," the former Migos MC raps about someone leaving for a worse option ... and it's fair to assume he's comparing himself to the NBA's GOAT.

Bobby Lytes decided to have some fun this Halloween ... at Lil Nas X's expense, as the reality star reenacted the embattled rapper's bizarre nude romp -- complete with the TMZ watermark!!!

As you know, we broke the story back in August ... and Bobby feels enough time has passed to crack a joke.

The costume didn't take much, but Bobby did check all the boxes with the tighty-whities and Blanco cowboy boots to match, erratic behavior, and he also nailed LNX's ad-libs ... "Yesssss, honey" and "I am serving ass!!!"

Janelle Monae brought the spooky season spirit to Children's Hospital Los Angeles ... dressing up as Sally from "The Nightmare Before Christmas" and spending time with patients!

Check out the photos shared by the hospital Thursday ... the musician went all-out with her costume for her special visit, during which she shared stories and painted with the kids.

And, it appears she stayed in character throughout her time at Children's Hospital L.A., making sure the Halloween vibes were in full swing.

These two pink-haired looks are to die dye for! Latto and Bebe Rexha took their pretty-in-pink looks to the lens, but which sexy singer is comin' out on top and which 'do should come to an end?!

The question is: Who'd You Rather?!

Get wiggy with it and cast your vote!

B.G. helped prove Cash Money is an army during ComplexCon when they squared off against No Limit Records for a celebration of hits for the latest Verzuz ... and the NOLA hip hop powerhouses aren't done yet -- they're taking the show on the road!!!

TMZ Hip Hop caught up with B-Gizzle on a rainy NYC Thursday, but Chopper City's finest had some bright news for rap fans ... exclusively revealing the upcoming Cash Money and No Limit Records tour!!!

B.G. was one of the shining stars of Verzuz, contributing his classics such as "CMIAA" and "Bling Bling" to the extensive playlist, but tells us look out for his upcoming collabs with No Limit vets Mac and Mia X!!!

Lady Gaga's grandmother, Angelina Calderone Germanotta, has died ... TMZ has learned.

Angelina -- the mother of Gaga's dad, Joe Germanotta -- passed away on October 12, just days shy of her 95th birthday. A funeral for Angelina was held on October 17 in Pompton Plains, New Jersey.

Angelina was the matriarch of the Germanotta family and had a special bond with her superstar granddaughter. In fact, Gaga's full name -- Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta -- carries part of her late grandmother's name, a touching tribute Gaga has often said connects her to her family's legacy and Italian roots.

Chrisean Rock has a new man in her life -- after kicking the last guy to the curb -- and doesn't want to hear any criticism from the peanut gallery talking 'bout an age difference!!!

TMZ Hip Hop caught up with Chrisean out in West Hollywood last night ... where she eagerly opened up about her new relationship with up-and-coming rapper "3" AKA TopHat33k.

Chrisean's dating preference is clear at this point, having dated Blueface and HoodTrophy Bino before; the latter rapper being a fresh split from just a few weeks ago after they landed in hot water trashing a hotel room together.

Rapper Young Bleed shocked the world when he was hospitalized just days after an animated performance at the highly touted Cash Money Verzuz No Limit event at ComplexCon ... we're hearing he's not out of the woods yet, but there are glimmers of hope!!!

The Baton Rouge rapper's baby mama, Tameka Long -- AKA Madamm Meek -- tells TMZ Hip Hop that Bleed has been dealing with health issues -- high blood pressure and a heart condition -- for some time.

Bleed fell ill shortly after the Verzuz, where we witnessed him performing his iconic hit, "How Ya Do Dat," and Tameka tells us doctors confirmed to the family it was indeed a brain aneurysm caused by internal bleeding.

Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo are super "Popular" movie stars ... but, they jumped into action to help out a normie after someone drenched her with a full glass of wine!

The two stars attended a "Wicked" press event Thursday ... and, while posing with a group of fans, someone standing in the back overturned their glass above a woman in a green dress standing in front of them.

Unclear if someone did this on purpose or if the glass just slipped out of their hand ... but, while Elphaba defies gravity all the time, the wine didn't ... and, the poor girl is soaked by wine, and the glass shatters on the ground right at Grande's feet.

D4vd attended a huge bash back in 2024 ... and, a photo has surfaced appearing to show Celeste Rivas standing with him and partying the night away.

The singer-songwriter hit the party in July last year at a house in Los Angeles ... and one picture taken by a pro photographer at the place captures D4vd with a huge grin on his face -- and a girl behind him turned to the side, covering her mouth with her hand.

Her red-tinted hair is half-hidden under a black and gold durag ... and, it's hard to make out her face since her hand obscures her features.

Chris Jones -- All-Pro defensive lineman, Super Bowl champion ... and Taylor Swift cover band??

Pretty much ... 'cause Travis Kelce's teammate briefly showed off his pipes by singing "The Fate of Ophelia" in front of a bunch of reporters at Thursday's press conference!!

The silly moment went down as the 31-year-old made his way to the microphone at the practice facility ... with the song bumping on his phone as he nodded his head.

The feds are projecting Sean "Diddy" Combs will be released from custody on May 8, 2028 ... but his attorney thinks he will be a free man even sooner.

We got Marc Agnifilo in New York City on Thursday and our photog asked him about the Bureau of Prisons estimating a release date for Diddy.

Marc, who delivered a stirring closing argument at Diddy's criminal trial this summer, says his feeling is Diddy will walk free before the date provided by the feds ... in part because he thinks Diddy will be a model citizen behind bars.

D'Angelo remained relatively out of the spotlight throughout his 51 years of life ... and The Roots' Questlove, who was an integral part of constructing the late soul singer's catalog, is giving insight on how much of a music purist he really was!!!

In a new interview with Rolling Stone, Questlove lamented over the premonition he felt on Oct. 14 -- the day D'Angelo died -- having spent considerable time with him at the New York-area cancer center he was being treated at weeks before his death.

Questlove labeled D'Angelo one of the "last pure artists in Black music" and recalled the making of their 2000 mega-classic, "Voodoo," which he reveals took 4 years to make.

Gene Simmons is calling BS on the media for playing up the seriousness of his recent car wreck ... writing the incident off as a "fender-bender."

The rock and roll legend was spotted by photogs in Los Angeles Wednesday ... getting behind the wheel of a car just weeks after he passed out while driving in Malibu and crashed into another vehicle.

Simmons spoke to the paps ... and called the media "fake news" -- 'cause he feels the severity of his car crash was blown up in the press ... when he says it was really just a run-of-the-mill accident.

Kid Rock seems to have no issue hurling the R-word on national television ... but the Special Olympics says he should think twice -- writing an open letter to him explaining the harm caused by using that word.

ICYMI ... Kid Rock appeared on "Jesse Watters Primetime" on Fox News last Friday -- and used the slur while telling Watters what he plans to be for Halloween.

Now ... in an open letter, Special Olympics Chief Inspiration Officer Loretta Claiborne is calling him out, urging him to take accountability. She says, "I’m writing to you personally with an urgent request: please acknowledge the hurt caused and use this moment to stand with us in rejecting that word and the prejudice it represents."

Jim Irsay's family has announced its plans to auction off the "majority" of the late owner's memorabilia collection in 2026 ... featuring countless items that would make most museums jealous.

The Irsay family told a local outlet Thursday the "decision was not made lightly, but with deep reflection and love for the legacy he built."

"Our dad was a passionate collector, driven not by possession, but by a profound appreciation for the beauty, history and cultural resonance of the items he curated. From iconic instruments to handwritten lyrics by legends to rare historical artifacts and documents, each piece in the collection tells a story – and he was always so excited to share those stories with the world."
