Usher's ex-wife Tameka Foster had maybe the most friendly arrest in history ... newly released police body cam footage shows her exchanging casual banter and even getting a few laughs out of her arresting officer.
So here's what happened ... According to Hot97, Foster shared in an Instagram Live that she had gotten a ticket last year for driving a car without current insurance. After immediately updating the insurance on the vehicle, she thought the issue had been resolved ... the only problem was she needed to show up to court in person to show proof before a judge.
Her failure to appear reportedly resulted in a warrant being issued for her arrest, and Brookhaven Police nabbed her just after her plane landed in Georgia after a tropical vacation last month.

Travis Scott and Kylie Jenner aren't together anymore, but she still lives rent-free in his music ... at least judging by a new song lyric that mentions Kylie's exact boob size.
In a feature on Don Toliver's new track "Rosary," Travis raps, "She look at me like Scotty, man, that S on my chest / Forty-four five C, the way they sit, I need to test".

Fresh off Bad Bunny's anti-ICE statements at the Grammy Awards, Roger Goodell doesn't anticipate an encore during the Super Bowl Halftime Show ... telling reporters he feels the music superstar will use the stage to unite, not divide, the crowd.
The NFL commish was asked on Monday about Benito's political acceptance speech at Sunday's event ... and whether he was anticipating a similar message being conveyed when he takes the field at Levi's Stadium on Feb. 8.
Bad Bunny says "ICE OUT" at the #Grammys and receives a massive standing ovation:
"We are not savage, we are not animals, we are not aliens, we are humans and we are Americans. The hate gets more powerful with more hate. The only thing that is more powerful than hate is love.… pic.twitter.com/IFzvguqdCR
Goodell said Mr. Bunny was right for the gig for two reasons -- BB is "one of the greatest artists in the world" -- but he also "understood the platform he was on, and this platform is used to unite people and be able to bring people together with their creativity, with their talents and to be able to use this moment to do that."
Chermight've made a mistake while presenting Kendrick Lamar and SZAwith the Record of the Year award at the 2026 Grammy Awards on Sunday ... but SZA's not taking it personally.
FYI ... the "Believe" singer accidentally read out "Luther Vandross" -- before she corrected herself and named "Luther" the Record of the Year.
SZA talked with Entertainment Tonight and said she didn't mind Vandross being named by Cher ... because his energy "allowed us to win and that allowed it to be memorable." FYI -- Vandross and Cheryl Lynn's cover of "If This World Were Mine" was sampled on the track.

Reverend Jordan Wells has been an NFL fan his whole life ... but he told us he's boycotting the Super Bowl this year -- and not because his beloved Kansas City Chiefs didn't make it ... it's because Bad Bunny's headlining the halftime show.
Wells stopped by "TMZ Live" to explain his boycott of Super Bowl LX has nothing to do with Bad Bunny singing in Spanish ... it has everything to do with the Puerto Rican superstar supposedly making himself an activist, who Wells says, is demonizing one half of the country.
Wells says ... "I expect this Super Bowl to be the most political Super Bowl we have ever seen, because of who they picked and because of how the NFL has handled that."

Lola Young had a great night at the 2026 Grammy Awards ceremony ... but her slip of the tongue ended up slipping by censors.
Here's the deal ... the pop star won the award for Best Pop Solo Performance last night, and her emotions really must have caught up with her ... because she dropped an F-bomb while accepting her Grammy.
Lola admitted she didn't have anything prepared for the moment, stating ... "I don’t know what to say. Thank you so much. You can tell by my f***ing ... Sorry, sorry, sorry."
Lola ended up composing herself, and she said she was "very, very grateful" for the award.
The thing is, the F-bomb apparently made it past CBS censors on YouTube TV ... and the slip-up could mean an FCC fine's on the table, Deadlinereports.
Lola wasn't the only artist who dropped a four-letter word during the Grammys ... Sabrina Carpenter got bleeped while performing "Manchild" at the awards show, and Billie Eilish did too while making a statement about ICE.
