Dos hombres acusados de golpear brutalmente a un fanático de Nardo Wick se han entregado a la policía, según ha indagado TMZ.

Fuentes policiales le dicen a TMZ que los sospechosos, Zachary L. Benton, de 34 años y un varón de 15, se entregaron a la policía de Tampa el viernes por la noche. Ambos están acusados por el delito grave de agresión. El chico de 15 años también está acusado por ser menor de edad y poseer un arma de fuego mientras llevaba una máscara.

Una fuente cercana a Nardo nos dice que los hombres no tenían una relación estrecha con el rapero, sino que eran amigos de amigos.

Nos dicen que los dos sospechosos se pusieron en contacto con el equipo de Nardo a principios de esta semana para discutir la logística de la entrega, lo que es interesante, pues tenían suficiente conexión cómo para llegar a alguien del equipo de Nardo.

TMZ fue el primero en informar la noticia, un video muestra a George Obregon Jr., fan de Nardo Wick, caminando hacia el rapero después de un show, y luego siendo emboscado y golpeado por dos personas que estaban afuera con el rapero. Los policías nos dicen que Benton fue el primero en golpear a Obregon, mientras que el chico de 15 años corrió y le dio un puñetazo varias veces más.

La madre de George nos dijo que su hijo, de 20 años, solo quería tomarse una foto con Nardo cuando fue atacado. Fue trasladado a la unidad de cuidados intensivos de un hospital con una conmoción cerebral grave y una hemorragia cerebral. Desconocemos su estado actual.

Nardo se disculpó por el incidente, pero culpó a los otros hombres diciendo que no puede controlar cómo reaccionan otros hombres adultos. También dijo que estaba molesto por todo el incidente.

Two men accused of throwing punches in the brutal beatdown of a Nardo Wick fan have turned themselves into police ... TMZ has learned.

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ ... the suspects -- 34-year-old Zachary L. Benton and a 15-year-old male turned themselves in to Tampa PD Friday night. They are charged with felony battery. The 15-year-old is also charged with minor in possession of a firearm while wearing a mask.

A source close to Nardo tells us the men did not have a close relationship with the rapper ... they were friends of friends.

We're told the two suspects reached out to Nardo's team earlier this week to discuss logistics of surrender. That's interesting ... they had enough of a connection to reach out to someone from Nardo's team.

TMZ broke the story ... video shows Nardo fan George Obregon Jr. walking up to the rapper after a show, and getting ambushed and sucker punched by two people who were walking out of the venue with Nardo. Cops tell us Benton is the one who first punched Obregon and the 15-year-old ran over and punched him several more times.

George's mom told us her 20-year-old son was just seeking a photo with Nardo when he was attacked. He was taken to the critical care unit of a hospital with a severe concussion and brain bleed. We do not know his current condition.

Nardo apologized for the incident but blamed the other men ... saying he can't control how grown men react. He also said he was upset by the whole incident.

Robert Glasper is all pumped up to face Chris Brown at the Grammy Awards once again .. and tells us he's open to challenging his R&B category competitor to a dance-off!!!

TMZ Hip Hop linked up with Robert this week, where the reigning "Best R&B Album" winner laughed off his past tensions with CB and praised his artistry.

The 2024 Grammy noms went live a few weeks ago where it was revealed that Rob and Breezy going head to head for the 2nd consecutive year, this time in the "Best R&B Performance" category

Rob doesn't rule out the chances of conspiracy pitting him and Chris up against one another, especially after last year's drama.

Losing the award brought out Chris' gangsta side and questioned Robert's entire existence, before cooling off and doing his research and apologizing after seeing RG was a legit contender.

Robert thinks the best well to settle their differences is to hop in the ring and sweat it out in a dance battle ... which could be the highlight of both their Grammy nights.

Fat Joe believes rappers have a right to use their imagination and lyrics any way they see fit ... and those words shouldn't be used in criminal cases.

The Bronx-bred rap legend spoke to TMZ Hip Hop Friday in NYC as he supported the United Justice Coalition at the Jacob Javitz Center ... he really wants justice for Young Thug after feeling prosecutors in his ongoing RICO trial are trying to jam him up by highlighting generic lyrics.

Joe explains he never goes into writing a song to lie ... he says hip hop is the ultimate storytelling vehicle and compares it to fictional books and movies.

If he had a bad day, Joe says he may record an aggressive track like "Take A Look At My Life," a good mood could birth a Grammy Award nominee in "All The Way Up" ... emotions have always been his guide to lyrical content.

Joe was recently on CNN where he made the 95% estimate during a convo about Young Thug's ongoing RICO trial where his lyrics are being used as evidence by the prosecution in attempts to prove murders and corruption.

He tells us freedom of speech shouldn't come with prison sentences -- or censorship of art.

Joe says he would hate to see Martin Scorsese abandon mafia movies and notes he recently watched three Netflix movies involving killers ... and nobody is going to trial for depicting the fake murders.

Casanova just came up empty in his push for an early release from his 15-year prison sentence ... a judge denied the Roc Nation rapper's plea after admitting responsibility to his crime.

A federal court ruling handed down on Friday denied Casanova's motion for a compassionate release, noting he already got a sentence at the bottom of the sentencing range and has yet to even serve 20% of it.

You'll recall, Cas pled guilty to robbery in August 2020. He distanced himself from his previous associations with the Gorilla Stone Nation gang in a passionate letter to the judge ahead of sentencing, but the judge said Cas hasn't proven he's no longer a danger to anyone in the community, and the 188-month sentence imposed is still warranted.

Taylor Swift está reconociendo a una nueva Reina en Inglaterra ... ¡¡¡Beyoncé!!!

La estrella del pop acaba de publicar un enorme agradecimiento a Beyoncé por invitarla al estreno de su película "Renaissance" en Londres, rindiendo homenaje a la Queen B.

En una serie de fotos en sus redes, Taylor aparece posando con Beyoncé en el estreno y con su íntima amiga, Blake Lively, aparentemente en un evento posterior a la fiesta.

Taylor también le está pidiendo a sus fans que apoyen a B con la taquilla con el mensaje: "Renaissance: Una película de Beyoncé", que está llegando a los cines de todo el mundo.

Como informamos, Taylor voló para el estreno de la película en Londres esta semana, devolviéndole el favor después de acoger a Beyoncé en octubre para el lanzamiento de su película "Eras" en Los Ángeles.

Por supuesto, ambas superestrellas han realizado giras mundiales de gran éxito este año, presentando sus nuevos álbumes y sus éxitos en diferentes lugares con las entradas agotadas, y ambas han convertido sus conciertos en películas.

Se espera que la película de Bey recaude 40 millones de dólares en todo el mundo. La película "Eras" de Taylor ha recaudado 250 millones de dólares desde su estreno en octubre.

Taylor Swift's recognizing a new Queen in England ... Beyoncé!!!

Taylor just posted a huge thank you to Beyoncé for inviting her to the London premiere of the 'Renaissance' movie ... paying homage to the Queen B.

In a series of photos shared on her social media, Taylor is posing with Beyoncé at the premiere, and hanging out with her close friend, Blake Lively, seemingly at an after-party event.

Taylor's also calling on fans to go support Beyoncé at the box office ... telling them to see her concert film, "Renaissance: A Film By Beyoncé," which is hitting theaters worldwide.

As we reported ... Taylor flew out to this week's movie premiere in London, returning the favor after hosting Beyoncé back in October at the Los Angeles release of her 'Eras' tour movie.

Of course, both superstars had wildly successful world tours this year -- performing new albums and classic hits to sold-out venues -- and they both turned the concerts into movies.

Bey's flick is expected to rake in as much as $40 million globally. Taylor's "Eras" movie has grossed $250 mil since its release in October.

Lil Wayne is being dragged to court a former bodyguard who is suing the rapper after telling cops Wayne allegedly brandished a gun and punched him in the ear.

According to new legal docs, obtained by TMZ, Carlos Christian claims Weezy threatened to shoot him with a semiautomatic rifle ... a threat he says he took seriously considering Wayne once spent time in prison on weapons charges.

TMZ broke the story ... Christian called cops back in December 2021, claiming Lil Wayne pulled an assault rifle on him during a dispute at the rapper's Hidden Hills, CA home.

The bodyguard told police an altercation escalated to physical violence and Weezy ended up brandishing an AR-15, but sources close to Weezy denied the incident ever happened and claimed Wayne didn't even own a gun.

In the docs, the guard says he incurred medical expenses, lost wages, and suffered emotional distress as a result of the alleged incident ... and he's going after Lil Wayne for compensatory and punitive damages.

How about this ... Bhad Bhabie has a bun in the oven.

Bhad Bhabie, aka Danielle Bregoli, just revealed her pregnancy ... posting a couple mirror selfies on social media showing off her growing baby bump.

It's unclear how far along Bhad Bhabie is ... ditto for the child's gender ... as she's simply letting the photos speak for themselves at this point.

As you know, Bhad Bhabie is just 20 years old -- celebrating her birthday earlier this year by twerking on her mother --  and she's in a relationship with Le Vaughn, and it's getting even more serious now.

TMZ broke the story ... Bhad Bhabie and Le Vaughn debuted matching tattoos back in April, she has his name and his birthday tattooed in red ink near her shoulder and breast. He's got her first name and middle name tattoed in cursive on his neck, in black ink.

It's the first pregnancy for Bhad Bhabie.

Congratulations, and we can't wait to catch this baby outside.

¿Qué tal esta sorpresa? Bhad Bhabie tiene un bollo en el horno.

Bhad Bhabie, alias Danielle Bregoli, acaba de revelar su embarazo con un par de selfies frente al espejo en las redes sociales que muestran su creciente barriguita de bebé.

No está claro cuántas semanas tiene Bhad Bhabie, ni tampoco el sexo del niño ... Ella simplemente está dejando que las fotos hablen por sí mismas.

Como ustedes saben, Bhad Bhabie tiene solo 20 años. Celebró su cumpleaños a principios de este año haciendo bailes con su madre y está en una relación con Le Vaughn, que ahora se está poniendo aún más seria.

TMZ dio la noticia, Bhad Bhabie y Le Vaughn debutaron tatuajes a juego en abril. Ella tiene su nombre y su cumpleaños tatuado en tinta roja cerca de su hombro y el pecho. Él tiene su primer y segundo nombre tatuado en cursiva en el cuello, en tinta negra.

Este es el primer embarazo de Bhad Bhabie.

Felicidades, y no podemos esperar a que llegue este bebé.

Rubi Rose may have just found the perfect man ... to fuel her bank account, after running into the dude who's been dropping the biggest bags on her OnlyFans account!!!

The "He In His Feelings" rapper posted a pic of herself Friday with a man she dubbed as her "#1 spender" on OF.

The man never bothered with creating an OnlyFans username but he describes himself as a "crypto whale" on his profile page and obviously has a lot of coins to spend on Rubi.

His account says he's dropped $62,321.70 on Rubi's page to date and his facial expression says he doesn't plan on stopping anytime soon!!!

Rubi's dropped several records in the past couple of years but none of them have found their way on any charts just yet.

Fat Joe says when it comes to his rap lyrics, keeping it real is just a catchphrase ... he's been spinning tall tales in 95% of his music!!!

The Bronx rap star made the shocking confession while defending Young Thug to Gayle King during a CNN special report on Thursday.

According to Joe, he's been able to carve out a career by using his imagination, and not actually committing crimes his "Don Cartegena" persona has historically bragged about.

“I’ve been rapping professionally for 30 years — I’ve lied in almost 95 percent of my songs,” Joe told the panel. “I’m being honest. I write like I feel that day. I’m just being creative. You couldn’t build a jail high enough for the lyrics I’ve said on songs which are all untrue."

The "All The Way Up" rapper went on to criticize the prosecutors overseeing Young Thug's RICO case for enforcing lyrics they know aren't real all the same.

Thug's lawyer Brian Steel recently argued in court that Thug's name was an acronym for "Truly Humble Under God" and denied his lyrics had any coded gang meanings.

Joe's been combatting rappers being prosecuted over the lyrics for several years ... having played a significant role in pushing New York's "Rap Music On Trial" bill as the push for legislation continues.

Rappers like Bobby Shmurda want similar bills passed in Georgia -- which would work greatly to Thug's benefit.

Los fans de Beyoncé convirtieron el estreno de su película "'Renaissance" en un concierto, cantando y bailando en los pasillos del cine y creando una escena muy divertida.

Tienen que ver los videos del interior del cine londinense donde los fans vieron por primera vez "Renaissance: A Film By Beyoncé" porque parece ser una de las paradas de su gira.

El 'Mute Challenge' también fue un elemento clave del reciente tour mundial de Beyoncé, así que naturalmente sus fans lo trajeron de vuelta mientras veían la película.

Beyoncé estaba presente también. Aunque no estaba vestida de plata, como ha sido el tema y fuente de cierta controversia, sino que usó un vestido negro con su pelo platinado.

Como informamos, Taylor Swift voló hasta Londres para darle su pleno apoyo a Beyoncé, y devolverle el favor después de que Beyoncé fuera al estreno de la película de Taylor, "Eras".

Beyoncé también lanzó una nueva canción durante el estreno de la película, "My House", la que sus fans pudieron notar mientras sonaba en los créditos.

Beyoncé fans turned her 'Renaissance' movie premiere into a concert ... singing and dancing in the theater aisles, making for one crazy fun scene.

Ya gotta see the videos from inside the London theater where fans got the first look at "Renaissance: A Film By Beyoncé" ... it looks like one of her tour stops.

The 'Mute Challenge' was also a staple of Beyoncé's recent "Renaissance" world tour ... so naturally, her fans brought it back while watching a movie about the tour.

Beyonce was in the house too ... though she wasn't wearing silver, as has been a theme and the source of some controversy ... pairing a black dress with her platinum blonde hair.

As we reported ... Taylor Swift flew across the pond to give Beyoncé her full support ... seemingly returning the favor after Beyoncé went to Taylor's "Eras" movie premiere.

Beyoncé also dropped a new song, "My House," coinciding with the movie release ... with fans noticing the track playing during the credits.

Jeannie Mai has responded to Jeezy's divorce petition, and she is more than insinuating he cheated on her and claims that will have a HUGE effect on their prenup and division of assets.

According to legal docs, obtained by TMZ, Jeannie more than insinuates her estranged husband is guilty of infidelity. Her lawyer writes, "Wife reserves the right to amend this counterclaim to add other grounds for divorce, but which Wife does not wish to specify herein at this time in the hope this matter can be resolved without having to disclose such conduct publicly."

But, it gets even more pointed ... "Wife further shows that the Court should enforce Paragraph 8 of the Prenuptial Agreement regarding infidelity which provides, in pertinent part, that in the event that either party engages in sexual relations, an emotional relationship, or is emotionally or sexually suggestive in communication with a third party via all forms of electronic communications, including but not limited to texting, sexting, Facetiming, social media and/or Direct Messages, shall result in a significant financial penalty upon the adulterous party ..."

In other words, she's accusing Jeezy of being unfaithful and claiming he's gotta cough up a bunch of dough as a result. The docs do not say who exactly Jeezy was allegedly banging, talking to, or seeing.

Jeannie coming out with cheating allegations is super interesting ... as we first told you, Jeannie was being accused of cheating on Jeezy with "Access Hollywood" host Mario Lopez, but a source close to her told us it was BS.

Jeezy, who filed for divorce in August down in Georgia, also released a 29-track double album, "I Might Forgive ... But I Don't Forget," in the wake of the split ... and it's highlighted by the song "Don't Cheat."

Cheating was also a theme Jeezy kept referencing during his recent interview with Nia Long.

Jeannie Mai respondió a la petición de divorcio de Jeezy, y está más que insinuando que este la engañó, lo que según afirma, tendrá un efecto enorme en su acuerdo prenupcial y la división de los activos.

Según los documentos legales obtenidos por TMZ, Jeannie más que sugiere que su marido es culpable de infidelidad. Su abogado escribe: "La esposa se reserva el derecho de modificar esta demanda reconvencional para añadir otros motivos de divorcio, los cuales la esposa no desea especificar en este momento con la esperanza de que este asunto pueda resolverse sin tener que revelarse públicamente tal conducta".

Pero se pone aún más puntiagudo: "La esposa muestra además que el Tribunal debe hacer cumplir el párrafo 8 del Acuerdo Prenupcial con respecto a la infidelidad que establece, en la parte pertinente, que en el caso de que cualquiera de las partes participe en relaciones sexuales, una relación emocional, o emocional o sexualmente sugerente en la comunicación con un tercero a través de todas las formas de comunicación electrónica, incluyendo, pero no limitado a los mensajes de texto, sexting, Facetiming, medios de comunicación social y/o mensajes directos, dará lugar a una sanción económica significativa sobre la parte adúltera".

En otras palabras, ella está acusando a Jeezy de serle infiel y está reclamando que tiene que soltar un montón de dinero como consecuencia de ello. Los documentos no dicen qué fue lo que Jeezy supuestamente hizo, vio o con quién habló.

Que Jeannie salga con acusaciones de engaño es súper interesante, como les contamos por primera vez, Jeannie estaba siendo acusada de engañar a Jeezy con el anfitrión de "Access Hollywood", Mario López, pero una fuente cercana a ella nos dijo que era mentira.

Jeezy, que pidió el divorcio en agosto en Georgia, también lanzó un álbum doble de 29 canciones, "I Might Forgive ... But I Don't Forget," a raíz de la separación y se destaca por la canción "Don't Cheat".

El engaño también fue un tema al que Jeezy siguió haciendo referencia durante su reciente entrevista con Nia Long.
