Soulja Boy's participation in a seemingly harmless TikTok game ended in a complete meltdown ... the "Crank That" rapper threatened to shooooot the competition!!!

TMZ Hip Hop obtained video of Soulja Boy erupting like a volcano on content creators ExoticTV Ra, MCL and Mello Rell in a fiery rant as they played for TikTok tokens -- apparently Soulja wasn't doing so hot.

Soulja Boy dared the group to play "big bank take lil bank" before telling Ra he'd shoot him in the face.

Master P wasted no time switching job hats after his viral Verzuz appearance -- and nabbed his first win as the University of New Orleans basketball prez of operations!!!

The New Orleans Privateers men's basketball team are now 1-0 after beating the TCU Horned Frogs 78 - 74, but you'd think Luther Vandross was singing "One Shining Moment" the way they were giving Coach Stacy Holloway a Gatorade bath in the locker room!!!

Coach P was right in the middle of the rowdy celebration, screaming "Ugh" with the players.

Bianca Censori is hitting the town back home in Australia ... and wearing one of her most eye-popping outfits yet.

The Aussie bombshell stepped out for a high-end shopping spree in Melbourne with her mom, Alexandra, sister, Angelina, and other family members Monday.

Her outfit is a total head-turner ... rocking a pair of sheer tights with her underwear visibly showing -- paired with a pink tank top pulled down to reveal a pointed, purple, vintage-style bullet bra. She finished the look with silver heels.

President Donald Trump's on-again, off-again Taylor Swift fanboying seems to be currently on again, as the White House just used one of her songs in a TikTok video ... and Swifties are HATING it.

Check out the clip ... Over Taylor's lyric "Keep it one hundred on the land, the sea, the sky..." the White House shows pics of the different branches of the military. It also flashes shots of POTUS and Vice President JD Vance along with their wives, Melania Trump and Usha Vance, when the song gets to "Pledge allegiance to your hands, your team, your vibes."

It's unlikely Taylor gave permission. And the comments quickly got ugly.

Rihanna and A$AP Rocky had themselves a parents' night out in the Big Apple!

Check it out -- the new parents of 3 made their first red carpet appearance since welcoming their 3rd child, a daughter named Rocki Irish, in September. They showed up at the 2025 CFDA Awards in New York City Monday night, where Rihanna reportedly described her chic look as "postpartum-forward."

The "Work" hitmaker chose pieces from Alaïa's spring/summer 2026 collection, which included an asymmetrical floor-length black trench coat worn over a black turtleneck and pleated white pants tucked into her black pumps.

Nicki Minaj is absolutely obsessed after Donald Trump hopped on the Gen Z train ... sharing a TikTok featuring her viral sound a day after she praised him for his "handling" of the chaos in Nigeria.

The rapper kept it all love, dropping a "This is pretty incredible. Thank you 🙏🏽" under the White House’s post ... which, BTW, featured Trump and Melania vibing to her viral "Beez In The Trap x What’s Up?" remix.

Nicki -- who first dropped "Beez In The Trap" with 2 Chainz back in 2012 -- was living for the remix, which cuts from Trump in action to Melania’s "boss b*tch" sightings the moment NM's verse kicks in.

Christina Perri apparently won't love her husband for a thousand years ... because she just filed for divorce.

The "A Thousand Years" singer beelined it to court and filed to divorce her husband Paul Costabile after 7 years of marriage.

In new legal docs, obtained by TMZ, Christina lists Monday as the date of separation -- she wasted no time filing, it seems -- and she goes with the usual "irreconcilable differences" as the reason for the split.

You never know who or what you're going to see on the TMZ Celebrity Tour ... and today it was Meghan Trainor filming a music video for a new song ... and she got on the bus with cameras rolling!!!

Our tour bus was cruising through Beverly Hills when we spotted Meghan on the corner of Beverly Drive filming a music vid for her upcoming single, "Nope, I Still Don't Care."

Meghan smiled and waved as we leaned out the window and told her someone on the bus was celebrating a birthday, and she sent love and wishes ... then went one step further.

Blueface's homecoming from prison is already tested just hours after his release ... after his first baby mama, Jaidyn Alexis, is ready to set it off on his 2nd, Chrisean Rock!!!

The "Thotiana" rapper served 21 months and reunited with his son Chrisean Jr. and 2 other kids with Jaidyn -- and she says she did NOT approve of Lil Javaughn and Journey being around a "crackhead." Uh oh!!!

Jaidyn abruptly cut off the stream, demanding everyone stay put so she can get to work ... talk about a Debbie Downer!!!

It didn't take long for Sean "Diddy" Combs to see a familiar face in prison ... because he ran across a famous basketball player from Brooklyn who he's known for years ... former NBA star Sebastian Telfair.

Diddy and Bassy are the most famous inmates doing time at FCI Fort Dix in New Jersey ... and they hung out Saturday in the prison yard ... and we have photos from their chat.

We showed you pics of the Bad Boy Records founder laughing and chatting with a bunch of convicts ... and Sebastian's publicist tells us that's him talking to Diddy in a couple of the photos.

D’Angelo was laid to rest over the weekend on November 1 ... and the late soul-singing legend's send-off was fit for the Grammy Awards!!!

According to the funeral service bulletin, Stevie Wonder -- in addition to D’Angelo’s former bands The Soultronics and The Vanguard -- all performed musical tributes inside Saint Paul's Baptist Church in Henrico, VA.

The Vanguard won a Best R&B Album Grammy alongside D'Angelo for their 2014 wonder "The Black Messiah" ... and The Soultronics were D'Angelo's earlier pro band -- spearheaded by both Questlove and James Poyser.

Worlds are colliding for a couple former Taylor Swift lovers ... because Tom Hiddleston and Joe Alwyn crossed paths across the pond ... with Tom watching Joe on stage.

Check out this photo floating around social media ... you see Tom and Joe walking out of a production of "The Lady From The Sea" Sunday night at the Bridge Theatre in London.

Joe stars in the play ... and it's interesting to see him leaving right behind Tom ... because Taylor was dating Tom back in 2016 when she dumped him for Joe.

Diplo made some tongue-in-cheek claims over the weekend that he dated Justin Trudeau -- and he kept the joke rolling with an IG selfie Monday, cozying up with the politician ... and his actual ex-GF Katy Perry!

Check it out -- the DJ posted a shot with Canada’s ex-PM, both pulling shocked faces for the camera ... with Katy in the background, totally unaware she was photobombing their little moment.

Diplo captioned the pic "the one that got away" ... a cheeky nod to Katy’s hit song and their brief fling back in 2014.

Kodak Black has no shame in his game ... he has high standards all across the board -- except when it comes to his own foot game, which looks like they've never seen a pedicure a day in their 28 years!!!

The unpredictable rap star hopped on social media Monday while rambling about his pedigree, but admitted he wasn't perfect and cut a shot to his bare feet ... all 10 toenails were badly damaged and his tootsies were wrinkled with corns.

Kodak just released his new album, "Just Getting Started," on Halloween, but we're not sure this is the promo vehicle his label Capitol Records had in mind ... although he does have a song titled "Calculated Steppin'."

Carly Rae Jepsen is ready to "Cut to the Feeling" ... 'cause the singer just announced she is pregnant with her first child!

The "Call Me Maybe" artist posted some sweet B&W shots with her music producer husband, Cole M.G.N. ... and it's clear she's got a bun in the oven.

Along with the snaps ... CRJ wrote for the caption, "Oh hi baby ♥️"

The late Tom Petty's Malibu estate just sold for $11.2 million ... TMZ has learned.

The buyer snagged the property at a considerable discount. The estate hit the market over the summer at $15.49 million after it was previously listed for $19 million with another brokerage in 2024.

While the price may have been marked down, it still yields a considerable profit from the $3.75 million Petty initially bought it for in 1998.
