Diddy Steps Aside as Chairman of Revolt ... In Temporary Move

Published | Updated

Diddy isn't about to let issues in his personal life take down the successes in his professional life, making the difficult decision to temporarily step aside from his role as Chairman at Revolt.

Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ Diddy decided last week he'd make the temporary move. We're told his goal in making the decision was to not allow the accusations he's facing distract from Revolt's mission or success.

Revolt is currently celebrating its 10-year anniversary, and doing well under the leadership of CEO Detavio Samuels and Chief Brand Officer Deon Graham. We're told Diddy is not involved in the company's day-to-day.

As we reported, Diddy was quick to settle a lawsuit brought by Cassie with an amicable resolution where she accused him of sexual assault, abuse and human trafficking.

There have since been two additional lawsuits filed against Diddy ... Joi Dickerson-Neal says Diddy sexually assaulted her on camera when she was a college student back in 1991, and a Jane Doe says Diddy and singer-songwriter Aaron Hall took turns raping her and friends in either 1990 or 1991.

A rep for Diddy addressed the 2 additional lawsuits by saying, "The claims involving alleged misconduct against Mr. Combs from over 30 years ago and filed at the last minute are all completely denied and rejected by him. He recognizes this as a money grab. Because of Mr. Combs’ fame and success, he is an easy target for accusers who will falsify the truth, without conscience or consequence, for financial benefit."

The statement continues, "The New York Legislature surely did not intend or expect the Adult Survivors Act to be exploited for improper purposes. The public should be skeptical and not rush to accept these unsubstantiated allegations."

It's currently unclear when Diddy plans to step back into his role with Revolt.

Travis Kelce Rocks Strip Club Shirt After Game ... Not Afraid to Be Himself!!!

Published | Updated

Travis Kelce wearing a strip club shirt might raise an eyebrow for some -- but the dude isn't batting an eyelash at all ... which says a lot about how solid his relationship is with Taylor Swift.

The KC Chiefs tight end was spotted wearing a fashionable/cozy outfit after Sunday's game against the Las Vegas Raiders ... but folks couldn't help but notice a T-shirt he was rockin' underneath his windbreaker -- with the words "Crazy Horse Las Vegas" emblazoned across the front.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY FROM TRAVIS

Of course, Crazy Horse 3 is a popular strip club in town, and the obvious questions people started asking is: Did he visit the place ... while also dating the biggest pop star in the world???

That question remains unanswered -- Crazy Horse 3 tells TMZ, it prioritizes the privacy of guests, and "as a policy, we do not disclose or comment on the identities of individuals who choose to enjoy their time within our club." The club's rep Lindsay Feldman did confirm Travis wearing the shirt was not a paid endorsement situation.

However, the establishment isn't shying away from his plug ... the image is on its IG.

Whether or not he went, the bigger point here is ... TK isn't skittish floating the possibility he did go to a strip club.

He's one of the most famous guys in the world right now as he and Taylor continue to see each other -- and undoubtedly also understands the PR game that comes with that.

With that said ... he's clearly gonna be himself, and not try to fit into whatever perfect Taylor Swift boyfriend image others might have in mind.

Translation: The guy's comfortable in his own skin, and in his bond with TayTay.

Like we told you ... both Travis and Taylor are back together in Kansas City now after she wrapped up her Brazil shows, and they'll likely spend the rest of the holidays side by side.

Tayvis is going strong and then some ... strip club shirts or not!

Travis Kelce Viste una camiseta de un club de striptease No tiene miedo a ser él mismo!!!

Published | Updated

Travis Kelce vistiendo una camiseta de un club de striptease podría parecer sospechoso para algunos, pero el tipo no está nervioso en absoluto, lo que dice mucho de lo sólida que es su relación con Taylor Swift.

El jugador de los Kansas City Chiefs fue visto con un atuendo cómodo y elegante después del partido del domingo contra los Raiders de Las Vegas. Sin embargo, la gente no pudo dejar pasar una camiseta que llevaba debajo de su cortavientos con las palabras "Crazy Horse Las Vegas" estampada en la parte delantera.

Feliz cumpleaños les desea Travis

Por supuesto, Crazy Horse 3 es un club de striptease muy popular en la ciudad y todos se empezaron a preguntar, obviamente, si Travis había estado en el lugar durante su relación con la mayor estrella del pop del mundo.

La pregunta sigue sin respuesta... Crazy Horse 3 le dice a TMZ que prioriza la privacidad de sus clientes y "como política, no revelamos ni comentamos sobre las identidades de las personas que optan por disfrutar de su tiempo dentro de nuestro club". La representante del club, Lindsay Feldman, sí confirmó que la vestimenta de Travis no era un patrocinio pagado.

Sin embargo, el establecimiento no está rehuyendo de ella, la imagen está en su IG.

Si fue o no fue al club, el punto más grande aquí es que Travis Kelce no está asustado con la posibilidad de haber estado ahí.

Kelce es uno de los hombres más famosos en este momento, mientras continúa su relación con Taylor, y sin duda, también entiende el juego de relaciones públicas que eso conlleva.

Dicho esto, está claro que el tipo va a seguir siendo el mismo de siempre y no está tratando de encajar en la idea de novio perfecto de Taylor Swift que otros pueden tener en mente

En otras palabras, el chico está cómodo cómo es y con su vínculo con TayTay.

Como les contamos, Travis y Taylor están otra vez juntos en Kansas City después de que Taylor terminara sus conciertos en Brasil, y es probable que pasen el resto de las vacaciones uno al lado del otro.

Tayvis va muy en serio... ¡con camisas de club de striptease o no!

Taylor Swift Aterriza en Kansas City... Para ver a Travis Kelce después de los shows en Brasil

Published | Updated

Taylor Swift está finalmente de vuelta en Estados Unidos y al parecer lista para pasar el resto de sus vacaciones con su novio Travis Kelce.

US Weekly cita fuentes que dicen que la cantante aterrizó en Kansas City el lunes, apenas un día después de su último show en São Paulo el domingo. Recuerden, la cantante tuvo que reorganizar sus planes de Acción de Gracias y no pudo reunirse con Kelce la semana pasada.

La razón por la que todo cambió es debido a un show que tuvo que hacer el pasado lunes en Río de Janeiro, después de haberlo cancelado por las extremas temperaturas, además de la trágica muerte de una de sus fans.

Como resultado, Taylor terminó quedándose en Río un día más, lo que torpedeó cualquier esperanza de que pudiera volar para ver a Travis antes de la próxima serie de espectáculos en Brasil. Al final, parece que decidieron pasar Acción de Gracias separados, lo que queda a la vista en este video de Travis Kelce en Kansas City.

Una carrera solitaria

TMZ fue el primero en contarlo, el tipo fue visto conduciendo solo por la ciudad el pasado jueves.

Ya les contamos también que Taylor y Travis tienen planes de pasar la Navidad juntos y ahora están más o menos libres en casa, porque ella no tiene más conciertos hasta que se retome su gira "Eras" en febrero, cuando volará a Tokio.

Travis, por supuesto, seguirá jugando estos próximos meses y se pueden imaginar que Taylor asistirá al menos a algunos de esos partidos, especialmente cuando se acerquen los playoffs.

De vuelta a la normalidad, en otras palabras.

Travis Scott Utopia's a Loving Place ... Makes Arguing Couple Hug It Out!!!

COUPLE COUNSELING

Travis Scott was the ultimate relationship counselor during his show in Miami Monday night … he prevented a couple's meltdown from happening right in front of him!!!

The "Utopia" rapper halted his "Circus Maximus" tour inside the Kaseya Center -- and had the stage lights shone on the couple after telling the crowd he saw them arguing throughout the show.

Travis told them whatever they were fighting about was small, and as long as they were under his watch ... they were going to have big fun!!!

The woman was still clearly mad -- Travis had to urge her several times to stand up just to receive her man’s hug, but they eventually hugged it out. All appeared to be well, at least for the moment.

'TOPIA TWINS

The squabbling couple weren't the only fans who benefitted from Travis' goodwill.

Later in the show, he allowed a young fan to join on the harness as they turned up to the fan favorite "Utopia" track, "I Know?"

Let’s hope the couple's car ride wasn’t too icy. Travis certainly tried to give them a reason to heat things up again.

Teyana Taylor Enfadada porque Iman hizo pública la separación … Viviendo separados mientras la batalla se pone fea

Published | Updated

Teyana Taylor e Iman Shumpert ya no comparten el mismo techo mientras su amargo divorcio se desarrolla en público… algo de lo que ella culpa directamente a su esposo.

Fuentes cercanas a los ex cónyuges le contaron a TMZ que Teyana está increíblemente decepcionada y frustrada con Iman, su esposo de 7 años, por decidir hacer públicas sus identidades en una reciente presentación judicial en su caso de divorcio.

Teyana había buscado no solo proteger a sus hijos de este lío, sino también a Iman, razón por la cual presentó inicialmente documentos de divorcio, en enero, usando solo sus iniciales. El divorcio había avanzado de forma privada, pero después de su última movida legal, esa privacidad se fue completamente a la basura.

Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.

Nuestras fuentes alegan que Teyana e Iman NO están viviendo bajo el mismo techo, aunque Teyana hizo parecer que estaban en buenos términos en septiembre, cuando anunció su separación.

De hecho, nos cuentan que la comunicación entre Teyana e Iman es mínima… y solo hablan si se trata de sus 2 hijos. En resumen, las cosas no son tan positivas en este momento.

TMZ publicó la noticia… Teyana acusó a Iman de ser un esposo celoso, alegando que él estaba molesto y frustrado con su creciente carrera, incluyendo en el ámbito actoral, entre muchas otras acusaciones desordenadas.

Hablando de su actuación, el lunes por la noche Teyana asistió a los Gotham Awards en Nueva York, donde estaba nominada a mejor actuación principal por su drama independiente, "A Thousand and One."

Taylor Swift Lands in Kansas City ... To See Travis Kelce After Brazil Gigs

Published | Updated

Taylor Swift is finally back in the States and reportedly ready to spend the rest of the holidays with her boyfriend Travis Kelce.

US Weekly cites sources as saying the singer landed in Kansas City Monday -- just a day after her last show in São Paulo wrapped Sunday. Remember, she had to rearrange her Thanksgiving plans ... and wasn't able to be with him over the past week or so.

The reason everything got switched around is because of a makeup show she did last Monday in Rio de Janeiro -- this after canceling that Saturday show due to extreme heat ... not to mention the death of one of her fans.

As a result, she ended up staying in Rio for an extra day ... which torpedoed any hope of flying back to see Travis before the next string of shows down in the country. In the end, it seems they decided to spend Thanksgiving apart -- visibly so for TK here in Kansas City.

CRUISIN' SOLO

TMZ broke the story ... the dude was seen driving around town solo last Thursday.

We already told you Taylor and Travis had plans to spend Christmas together -- and now, they're pretty much home free ... 'cause she doesn't have any more concerts until her "Eras" tour picks back up February, when she'll fly to Tokyo.

Travis, of course, will continue playing football these next few months ... and you can imagine Taylor will be in attendance for at least some of those games -- especially as playoffs near.

Back to normal, in other words.

Alonzo Williams Eazy-E Would Be Disappointed In Today's Rap!!! As Special Ed Continues Attack On N.W.A Legacy

Published

Alonzo Williams witnessed the meteoric rise of N.W.A, Eazy-E, Dr. Dre and Ice Cube with his own two eyes, but thinks hip hop's jumped the tracks since then ... as artists don't just rap about violence, they now promote it!!!

The famed West Coast promoter was front and center at Eazy's recent street sign unveiling in Compton, and said while he's proud of everything Eazy accomplished ... he predicts he'd be disappointed with many of today's hit records.

He thinks, much like Cube did, Eazy would have moved on to acting and producing films ... because his lyrics were too rough and cancel culture would've eventually taken down the "Godfather of Gangsta Rap."

Lonzo knew Eazy well ... his portrayal in 2015's "Straight Outta Compton" painted him as a rap-hating promoter who didn't see the big picture, but Lonzo tells us that wasn't the case at all.

He got his start DJing on the post-disco, electro-funk scene that predated hip hop music, and says the culture thing was all about making people dance.

When rappers started lyrically killing one another on wax, Lonzo says he couldn't get jiggy with it and fell back, but still thinks N.W.A is lightyears ahead of any drill rappers!!!

Special Ed also targeted drill music in his latest discussion with VladTV ... and doubled down on what he sees as N.W.A.'s role in hip hop ending up where it is today.

If you remember, the "I Got It Made" rapper blamed the West Coast pioneers for making the lifestyle look cool, which, of course, prompted heated reactions from Cube and KXNG Crooked.

One thing most artists -- outside of rap's younger generation -- seem to agree on ... drill music doesn't have many redeeming qualities. 🤷🏿‍♂️

D.L. HUGHLEY EL HIJO DE T.I. Y TINY LOS INSULTÓ … ¡Lás únicas cucarachas que conocía eran actores pagados!

Published

D.L. Hughley le aconseja al hijo de T.I. y Tiny, King, que escuche la voz de la razón y comprenda por qué su colapso durante un juego de los Atlanta Falcons es "vergonzoso" para sus padres.

TMZ Hip Hop habló con D.L. el lunes en el aeropuerto LAX, donde llamó al estallido de King, insistiendo en que creció medio pobre, lo que es absolutamente "insultante" para los logros de vida de Tip y Tiny.

En caso de que te lo hayas perdido, King terminó sometido por su padre dentro de su lujoso palco en el estadio Mercedes-Benz, resultado de King afirmando que conocía la vida en el trap por haber crecido en la casa de su abuela e incluso experimentado ver cucarachas que se le arrastraban por la cara.

D.L. menciona que King creció como estrella de reality a través de "The Family Hustle" de VH1 y que cualquier cucaracha que haya encontrado eran ¡actores pagados!

Como padre, D.L. piensa que las palabras de King cortan aún más hondo de lo que parece en el video. Afirma que todos los padres decentes se enorgullecen de que sus hijos estén alimentados y limpios, que la infancia de King pasa esa prueba con creces.

D.L. nos cuenta que sus propios hijos ni siquiera soñarían con expresar tal falta de respeto; son mayores y saben mejor las cosas.

King seguía furioso en redes sociales, a un día después de enfrentarse a sus padres, pero D.L. está seguro de que eventualmente se dará cuenta de lo tonto que es todo esto.

¡Es rico, por amor al cielo!

D.L. Hughley T.I. & Tiny's Son Insulted Them ... Only Roaches He Knew Were Paid Actors!!!

Published | Updated

D.L. Hughley's advising T.I. and Tiny's son, King, to listen to a voice of reason, and understand why his meltdown during an Atlanta Falcons game is "embarrassing" to his parents.

TMZ Hip Hop caught up with D.L. Monday at LAX, where he called King's outburst -- insisting he grew up half-poor -- absolutely "insulting" to Tip and Tiny's lifetime accomplishments.

ICYMI, King ended up in his father's headlock inside their luxury suite at Mercedes-Benz Stadium -- the end result of King claiming he knew about the trap life from growing up at his grandmother's house, and even experienced roaches crawling on his face.

D.L. says King grew up a reality star via VH1's "The Family Hustle," and says any roaches he encountered were actually paid actors!!!

As a father himself, D.L. thinks King's words cut even deeper than they seemed in the video. He says all decent parents take pride in their kids being fed and clean, and D.L. says King's childhood passes that test with flying colors.

D.L. tells us his own kids wouldn't dream of spewing any such disrespect -- he says they're older and know better.

King was still fuming on social media -- a day after squaring off with his parents -- but D.L. is certain he'll eventually come around and see how silly this all is.

He's rich, for crying out loud!!!

50 Cent Lil Kim's On 'Magic Stick' Because Trina 'F****ed Up!!!'

Published

According to 50 Cent, his popular 2003 "Magic Stick" hit with Lil Kim was an amazing backup plan ... he says he originally wrote the record with Trina in mind, but she screwed it up big time!!!

Apple Music’s Rebecca Judd recently interviewed 50 during his "Final Lap" tour in London while discussing the making of his debut album "Get Rich or Die Tryin'" as it swiftly moves toward Diamond status.

50 says the "GRODT" tracklist got too long, resulting in "Magic Stick" getting cut, but he had another issue.

50 says he had originally sent Trina the record, but she sent some garbage back to him with "f***ed up" lyrics.

Former Atlantic vice president Gee Roberson swooped in to save the day and asked 50 for permission to give the track to Kim for her "La Bella Mafia" album, which he obliged.

50 says Kim's first single "The Jump Off" with Mr. Cheeks was solid but was lacking the sexual formula the late Notorious B.I.G. had designed for her.

His vision proved correct, "The Jump Off" was a modest success at No. 17 on the Billboard Hot 100 but "Magic Stick" peaked at No. 2, with no video promo or anything, which was huge at the time.

The magic didn't last long ... Kim and 50 ended up beefing not too long after the track's release, and she dissed him on her next album!!! 🙈

SHAKIRA PAGA UN EXTRA DE $7 MILLONES EN UNA NUEVA INVESTIGACIÓN … presunto fraude en 2018: informe

Published | Updated

Shakira no está exenta de problemas fiscales, El gobierno Español la investiga de nuevo en un caso separado y ha tenido que pagar millones mientras los fiscales siguen investigando, de acuerdo con un nuevo informe.

Sabemos que Shakira resolvió su caso penal con el gobierno Español la semana pasada, pagando alrededor de $27 millones para obtener una sentencia más leve después de admitir los cargos por fraude fiscal entre 2012 y 2014, con su reconocimiento en el tribunal ante un juez.

112023_shakira_kal_v2 11/20/23
SHAKIRA EN EL TRIBUNAL

Sin embargo, de acuerdo con el artículo reciente del periódico Español El Periódico, esto no es todo, ya que ahora los fiscales están indagando sobre un supuesto fraude fiscal de 2018, un caso completamente diferente al que se trató hace apenas 6 días.

El medio afirma que Shakira ha “depositado” un extra de $7.2 millones en esta nueva investigación, aunque no está claro si esto es simplemente una fianza que está entregando para evitar problemas o si es una cantidad completamente nueva que está pagando para deshacerse de los cargos.

El Periódico, citando fuentes anónimas del tribunal, sugiere que este último pago en efectivo es un gesto de Shakira para recibir más indulgencia cuando el caso finalmente se resuelva, lo cual es un tanto extraño y muy diferente a cómo se manejan las cosas aquí, en Estados Unidos. Sin embargo, el medio señala que su pago no es necesariamente una admisión de culpabilidad.

De ser cierto, ella terminará perdiendo estos $7.2 millones más adelante, con un total pagado de alrededor de $34 millones para resolver sus problemas fiscales, los cuales la han perseguido durante años.

Honestamente, es bastante impactante, pero suponemos que este tipo de cosas pueden ocurrir cuando eres tan rica como ella. Se estima que tiene un patrimonio neto de alrededor de $300 millones.

Nos hemos comunicado con el representante de Shakira… pero hasta el momento, no hemos recibido respuesta.

N.W.A's DJ Yella The Beatles AI Comeback Was Great ... No Music Left for Us to Do The Same!!!

Published

DJ Yella says he'd love to hear AI technology resurrect Eazy-E's vocals and his beloved N.W.A for a new generation ... but he says there's nothing left in the music vault to recycle!!!

TMZ Hip Hop caught up with Yella outside Eazy's street sign unveiling in Compton last week where he revealed all the "World's Most Dangerous Group" master recordings fell into his lap after Eazy's death in 1995.

The Beatles just proved to the world that deceased musicians can still make an impact with the release of their final song, which used AI to boost John Lennon's vocals from a 1978 demo tape.

Yella and Eazy remained tight until the end, and he admits he's sitting on a bunch of unreleased instrumentals, likely produced by him and Dr. Dre, but says everything with rapping has already been used.

You gotta imagine Eazy's oldest daughter, Erica, would also be on board -- she recently told us she's focused on burying the narrative around his AIDS-related death -- and show who he was as a person.

Chris Brown Don't Mistake Me For Being Antisemitic … I'm A Piru!!!

Published | Updated

Chris Brown is taking some heat, with some labeling him antisemitic, after he was spotted in Dubai with Kanye West, listening to Ye's new song about screwing a "Jewish b****."

Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.

On Sunday, Chris Brown took to Instagram to set the critics straight about exactly who he was in a fiery message reaffirming his gang affiliations. "Let me make this perfectly clear before y'all try to use me as a pawn ... Ima a Piru, I aint Muslim or Jewish so don't start no s*** wont be no s***!!!" Breezy wrote.

"Im trying to be peaceful but please do not wake up the demon in me! ... Go on about your f****** day."

In another message, the R&B megastar turned down the aggression but still highlighted his point that he wasn't a hateful person.

"I'm pro life and I [make] music for the entire world!!!!!! So please do not get tricked into thinking I spread hate or am kool with it! This is for the million of young kids that look up to me and may be confused"

If you remember, Akon recently told Shannon Sharpe he feels Chris could've succeeded Michael Jackson's musical legacy but let his ties to the street hold him back ... and don't forget the attack on Rihanna.

It will be interesting to see if Chris serves as a lesson moving forward to other artists who might find themselves in the same vicinity as Kanye.

Kanye West Wants to Buy Out Lil Durk's Contract After Dubai Show Together

ROCKIN' OUT IN DUBAI

Kanye West and Lil Durk may be working together a lot more in the future if all goes according to Ye's plan ... which is to free Durk of his current label situation.

Sources close to Kanye's camp tell TMZ Hip Hop that Ye is currently in talks to buy Durk out of his contract with Alamo Records in the aftermath of their new "Vultures" collaboration. That's the one where Ye claims he can't be antisemitic because, "I just f***** a Jewish bitch."

Our sources tell us 300 Records co-founder and current Alamo Records CEO Todd Moscowitz refused to clear Durk for another song he worked on for Kanye's upcoming album ... and now the paperwork battle is upon us.

Kanye was joined by Durk and the song's other featured artists, Ty Dolla $ign and Chicago rap legend Bump J at Blu Dubai nightclub over the weekend where they performed "Vultures" live for the first time ever.

The "Dark Twisted Fantasy" rapper's Dubai trip has been an eventful one so far ... he and his former personal trainer had a tense interaction inside a hotel lobby last week.

Chris Brown has also been taking heat after he was filmed dancing with Ye and crew along to the "Vultures" song -- no different, though, from everyone else inside the club during the performance.

Chris Brown No Se Confundan, No Soy Antisemita O Musulmán… ¡SOY UN PIRU!

Published

Chris Brown está recibiendo críticas tildándolo de antisemita, después de que fue visto en Dubai con Kanye West, escuchando la nueva canción de Ye sobre tener relaciones con una "p***a judía".

Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.

El domingo, Chris Brown recurrió a Instagram para aclarar exactamente quién es él en un mensaje explosivo, reafirmando sus afiliaciones pandilleras. "Dejaré esto perfectamente claro antes de que intenten usarme como peón… soy un Piru, ¡no soy musulmán ni judío, así que no empiecen ninguna mi**da y no habrá ninguna mi**da!", escribió Breezy.

"Estoy tratando de ser pacífico, pero no despierten al demonio en mí… Sigan con su maldito día".

En otro mensaje, la megaestrella del R&B bajó la agresión, pero aún destacó su punto de que no era una persona llena de odio.

"Soy provida y ¡hago música para todo el mundo! Así que no se dejen engañar pensando que promuevo el odio o que estoy bien con ello. Esto es para los millones de niños jóvenes que me admiran y pueden estar confundidos".

Si recuerdas, Akon recientemente le dijo a Shannon Sharpe que sentía que Chris podría haber sucedido al legado musical de Michael Jackson, pero sus nexos con la calle lo frenaron… y no olvidemos el ataque a Rihanna.

Será interesante ver si Chris sirve como lección en el futuro para otros artistas que podrían encontrarse en la misma situación que Kanye.
