9 AM PT -- Kid Rock just posted a video on X denying reports he lip-synced his performance of "Bawitdaba" during the Turning Point USA Halftime Show. His deejay, Paradime, even flew out to rap the song with him live ... to prove they know the lyrics.

It looks like even Kid Rock had to go back and watch Bad Bunny's Super Bowl Halftime Show ... because the country-rap-rock star delivered his critique of BB's performance on Fox News last night.

Rock told Laura Ingraham on "The Ingraham Angle" ... "Like most people, I didn't understand any of it. I saw there's a lot of dancers and a lot of big to-do stuff. And, you know, he said he wanted to have a dance party; it looked like he had one."

And while Rock admitted it wasn't his "cup of tea," he revealed he doesn't have any beef with BB. He's more upset with the NFL.

He clarified ... "I don't fault that kid for doing the Super Bowl, getting in front of a global audience. I fault the NFL for putting him in that position and Turning Point for having to come out and have an alternative for people to watch. You know, it's just -- poor kid."

Ja Rule is setting the record straight after he and Tony Yayo turned a routine cross-country flight into a tense mid-air showdown that was captured on video.

Check out Ja's tweets about the ordeal after TMZ contacted him for comment -- he said he "popped on these punks" and threw a pillow at Yayo's head because he's "soft." He had no regrets about the snafu ... calling it "hilarious."

TMZ obtained exclusive video capturing the heated verbal dispute aboard a Delta flight from San Francisco to New York City Sunday morning, where things boiled over between the two guys shortly after boarding.

Bad news for some Lovatics ... Demi Lovato just pulled the plug on a whopping five dates from her "It’s Not That Deep" tour.

In a lengthy IG Stories post Tuesday, Demi revealed she’s also pushing back the tour kickoff -- moving it from April 8 in Charlotte, NC to April 13 in Orlando, FL -- saying the call is all about protecting her health.

Demi explained once rehearsals got underway, it became clear she’d overextended herself. Bottom line: she needs more time to "rest and rehearse" so she can actually make it through the entire run.

50 Cent is taking a dig at Stefon Diggs after rumors surfaced the NFL star and Cardi B broke up during Sunday's Super Bowl LX.

Always the troll, 50 hopped on Instagram Monday and wrote, “Can you imagine waking up this morning and you done lost this b!tch and the Super Bowl?”

The rapper added, “I would tell everybody get away from me, have a drink and go back to sleep. LOL.”

Bad Bunny used the Super Bowl stage to tell a story about his culture -- and his crew says the message was loud and clear!

TMZ Sports caught up with members of the global superstar’s cast at LAX on Monday after their big halftime performance ... and they say their focus wasn’t just about putting on a show, it was about putting Puerto Rican culture front and center on the world’s biggest stage.

"I was blown away myself," one of his backup dancers, Chris, told us.

"I feel like it’s such a monumental moment culturally. I was born and raised in Puerto Rico and everything they did culturally, I feel like they tapped in perfectly."

Marc Anthony isn't diving headfirst into the Beckham family drama but he is acknowledging it.

The singer and longtime friend of the famous family briefly addressed the ongoing tension between David and Victoria Beckham and their eldest son, Brooklyn Beckham, calling the situation "unfortunate" while making it clear he's not interested in fueling the fire.

In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Marc praised the Beckham family and emphasized his long history with them, saying the public narrative doesn't reflect the full reality of what's going on behind closed doors.

Farrah Abraham got a very quick lesson in Civics 101 after we fact-checked her early jump into politics ... so while she waits a couple more years to run for mayor of Austin, Texas,  she’s back to breaking the internet, not the ballots!

The former "Teen Mom" star let these photos do the heavy lifting during a sizzling poolside shoot at L.A.'s Fenix Hotel Hollywood on Sunday ... rocking a teeny-tiny pink bikini that put her surgically enhanced assets on full display.

Even though she was soaking up the California sun, Farrah didn’t forget her roots -- stepping out in leopard-print cowboy boots, just in case anyone needed a reminder she’s a Texas girl at heart ... political dreams and all.

Cardi B and Stefon Diggs could be dealing with some trouble in paradise ... at least that’s what fans think after the two unfollowed each other on Instagram.

Of course, this comes on the heels of Diggs and the New England Patriots’ Super Bowl loss to the Seattle Seahawks. Eagle-eyed fans were quick to notice the unfollowing -- and we checked for ourselves … it’s legit. That said, it’s unclear whether the unfollowing happened before or after the tough loss.

The potential split is sending shockwaves online ... not only does it follow Stefon’s disappointing defeat, but it also comes just a few months after the couple welcomed a baby boy in November 2025.

Bad Bunny’s ex Kendall Jenner was front and center at the Super Bowl, cheering on the Puerto Rican superstar during his halftime show like it was all love!

Kendall was posted up right behind sister Kim Kardashian at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara on Sunday, bopping along and holding hands with bestie Hailey Bieber as BB tore it up onstage.

Kendall looked ridiculously hot, rocking a teeny cropped wrap top and jeans -- but if there was any thought Bad Bunny might spot her in the crowd? Not a chance. Dude was locked in, in his bag, and absolutely crushing it.

The Seattle Seahawks didn't just hoist the Lombardi Trophy -- they capped their Super Bowl victory with a private T-Pain and Ludacris show.

TMZ Sports obtained exclusive footage of the newly crowned champs keeping the celebration rolling after their dominant 29-13 win over the New England Patriots in Super Bowl LX ... turning their after-party into a full-blown concert.

We're told T-Pain, Ludacris, and DJ Infamous performed for players, coaches, and fans staying at the team hotel -- delivering a high-energy set as Seattle soaked in its second title in franchise history.

Logan Paul is distancing himself from his brother ... after Jake Paul urged his followers to boycott Bad Bunny's Super Bowl halftime performance -- calling the global superstar a "fake American citizen."

In a now-viral tweet, Jake called on his fans to turn off the performance to "show big corporations they can’t just do whatever they want without consequences" ... adding, "a fake American citizen performing who publicly hates America. I cannot support that."

Logan was quick to push back on his brother's controversial take ... saying, "I love my brother but I don’t agree with this. Puerto Ricans are Americans & I’m happy they were given the opportunity to showcase the talent that comes from the island."

Jake is now doing some damage control ... claiming the word "fake" is being misinterpreted -- clarifying he views Bad Bunny as fake because "of his values and criticism of our great country," not because he's Puerto Rican.

After their showstopping Super Bowl Halftime Show appearances, Ricky Martin and Lady Gaga kept the lovefest going with Bad Bunny on Sunday ... linking up for an emotional group hug behind the scenes.

Check out the video ... while posing for a photo with Ricky, BB basically collapses into Ricky's arms, overcome with emotion from the weight of the moment.

The two embraced while onlookers applauded the superstars.

President Trump gave his review of Bad Bunny's Super Bowl LX halftime performance and, as you probably guessed, 47 panned the hell out of it!

Trump posted a long critique on his Truth Social platform, kicking things off by saying Bunny's show — which the Puerto Rican entertainer sang in Spanish — was "absolutely terrible" and "one of the worst, EVER!"

The commander-in-chief also said Bunny's show didn't make any sense because nobody could understand a single word he was saying. What's more, Trump said the performance overall didn't represent American standards of "success, creativity, or excellence."

Trump continued to rant about Bunny, wrapping up his review by calling the show a "slap in the face to our country."

While Bad Bunny took one of the world's biggest stages Sunday, rocking the Super Bowl LX Halftime Show from Levi's Stadium, Kid Rock tried to outshine BB with his own concert for Turning Point USA.

As expected ... KR brought the crowd to their feet, starting out strong with his 1999 hit "Bawitdaba."

The crowd went absolutely insane for his trademark high energy, but it looked like the backup track did most of the heavy lifting.

Bad Bunny just pulled out all the stops for his Super Bowl Halftime Show ... using his spotlight to bring Puerto Rico to Levi's Stadium -- with a bunch of surprise appearances in the process!!

Benito shut it all the way down in Santa Clara, CA ... giving music fans a breather from the New England Patriots vs. Seattle Seahawks showdown with a hit-packed, nonstop party.

BB ran through his hits  ... starting it off with "Tití Me Preguntó," and going on to deliver an eclectic, high-energy set loaded with swagger and slick visuals while rocking an all-white custom fit -- nope, not a dress ... but we already put those rumors to bed.

Charlie Puth soared at the Super Bowl with his rendition of the National Anthem, and, folks, Taylor Swift was right ... he should be a bigger artist!

The singer-songwriter was backed by a band and an absolutely celestial choir, fitted out in all white to match their angelic voices.

Players, coaches and fans alike were visibly moved as Puth acted out nearly every singer's dream, killing it on one of the world's biggest stages.
