Dickey Betts -el guitarrista de la Allman Brothers Band- ha muerto después de algunos problemas de salud, esto de acuerdo a su familia.

Los seres queridos del músico anunciaron la triste noticia el jueves, diciendo que falleció en su casa en Osprey, Florida, el día de hoy, diciendo: "Dickey era más grande que la vida, y su pérdida se sentirá en todo el mundo". Murió de cáncer y enfermedad pulmonar obstructiva crónica.

Los últimos años de Dickey se vieron empañados por dolencias: tuvo un derrame cerebral leve en 2019 y se estaba recuperando cuando se cayó y se golpeó la cabeza mientras jugaba con su perro al mes siguiente. La caída le causó una hemorragia cerebral, obligándolo a someterse a una cirugía.

Damian Lillard's estranged wife was apparently not a fan of GloRilla recently shooting her shot at the NBA superstar ... the hooper's ex clowned the Memphis rapper shortly after she was arrested for DUI.

GloRilla was arrested in Georgia on Tuesday for suspicion of driving under the influence, consuming/possessing an open alcoholic beverage container, as well as another traffic charge.

Kay'La -- who was married to Dame from September 2021 until he filed for divorce in October 2023 -- saw the legal trouble as an opportunity to roast the rapper ... this after she said she wanted to be with the Milwaukee Bucks guard.

El nuevo álbum de Taylor Swift supuestamente se filtró antes de tiempo, y si esto es real, los fans están sorprendidos de escuchar algunas referencias a Matty Healy, cuando todo el mundo pensaba que se trataría enteramente de Joe Alwyn.

Esta es la cuestión, un enlace de Google Drive ha estado circulando por Internet en las últimas 24 horas que promete tener todas las canciones de "The Tortured Poets Department", su nuevo proyecto musical que saldrá el viernes.

No está claro si esto es verdad o no, pero mucha gente en X piensa que es una filtración legítima y, si es cierto, hay un montón de Swifties que están sorprendidos de escuchar un poco acerca de Matty.

Taylor Swift's new album supposedly leaked early -- and if it's real, fans are shocked to hear some Matty Healy references ... this when everyone thought it'd be all about Joe Alwyn.

Here's the deal ... a Google Drive link has been floating around the internet for the past 24 hours or so that purports to have all of Taylor's songs from "The Tortured Poets Department" -- her new project that's dropping Friday.

It's unclear if these are the real McCoy or not, but a lot of people on X think it's a legit leak -- and, if true, there's a lot of Swifties who are shocked to hear quite a bit about Matty.

10:16 PM PT -- Un representante de Kanye West le dice a TMZ: "'Agarrar' es muy inadecuado como una descripción de lo que sucedió. Bianca fue agredida físicamente".

Y añaden: "El agresor no se limitó a chocar contra ella. Le metió las manos por debajo del vestido, directamente sobre el cuerpo, la agarró por la cintura, la hizo girar y luego le sopló besos. Fue maltratada y agredida sexualmente".

Kanye West podría tener un nuevo problema legal en sus manos, ya que el rapero aparece como sospechoso en una denuncia sobre agresión y ahora la policía está revisando las afirmaciones en su contra ... TMZ ha averiguado.

10:16 PM PT -- A rep for Kanye West tells TMZ ... "'Grabbed' is grossly inadequate as a description of what happened. Bianca was physically assaulted."

They add, "The assailant didn't merely collide into her. He put his hands under her dress, directly on her body, he grabbed her waist, he spun her around, and then he blew her kisses. She was battered and sexually assaulted."

Kanye West might have new legal trouble on his hands -- he's the named suspect in a battery report, and cops are now looking into the claims against him ... TMZ has learned.

GloRilla found herself in a jail cell this week after cops busted her for DUI -- and she apparently had a wardrobe malfunction while this all went down ... TMZ has learned.

According to a police report, obtained by TMZ, the rapper was arrested and booked early Tuesday morning on suspicion of driving under the influence, consuming/possessing an open alcoholic beverage container and a separate traffic charge in Gwinnett County, GA.

She was hauled into jail around 6:12 AM ET and bonded out a few hours later. Her booking info, obtained by TMZ, notes that one of her aliases is Hallelujah ... which is her legal middle name.

YG is 100% for rap beef -- whether he's in the mix or on the sidelines -- but doesn't fault J. Cole for not feeling the same way when he was up against Kendrick Lamar.

TMZ Hip Hop recently linked with YG in L.A. and the 4HUNNID hitmaker is ready to exercise his first boss moves of 2024 ... he just shot the vid for his upcoming single, "Knockas."

YG's back in the saddle with his day one collaborator Mustard, and L.A. radio is about to experience a revival of sorts -- they're releasing the upcoming compilation, "Just Re'd Up 3" soon and point him to the action!!!

Hip Hop has been offering tons of just that as of late, and we had to get his thoughts on Kendrick Lamar vs. Everybody, including his homie J. Cole.

YG has records with both Kendrick and Cole but didn't come down on the Dreamville rapper for apologizing like other culture critics.

He's thinking like a boss more than ever. YG and his label recently inked a multi-album partnership deal with BMG, after officially departing Def Jam Records -- so, more than ever, his career is his to control.

2:33 PM PT -- According to Essence, Nelly and Ashanti are also engaged -- so big day for them.

Ashanti says, "This new year of my life is such a blessing full of love, hope, and anticipation. Motherhood is something that I have looked forward to, and sharing this with my family, fiancé, and loyal fans, who have been so supportive of my career, is an amazing experience."

Ashanti is finally confirming what we've suspected for months now ... she and Nelly are indeed expecting a child together!

It looks like people were better behaved at Coachella Weekend 1 this year ... because arrests were down significantly compared to last year, TMZ has learned.

Indio PD released their data from the festival's first installment ... and they say they only clocked 81 arrests in their system between Friday and Sunday -- which is pretty damn low compared to years past, especially 2023.

That's down 20% from the 102 arrests made last year. There was also a small smattering of citations issued -- just 47 -- and they're all handicap parking related ... down 43% from last year.

Halle Bailey y DDG, el padre de su hijo, no han ido por caminos separados ni han terminado, a pesar de que Internet ciertamente parece pensar que sí, según ha averiguado TMZ.

El representante de la cantante nos dice que Halle y DDG siguen juntos y que todos los informes que dicen que se han separado son directamente falsos, punto. La razón por la que esto incluso tuvo que ser abordado es porque la gente estaba corriendo desenfrenada con los rumores de que ambos habían roto recientemente.

Definitivamente había indicios de que tal vez había problemas entre ellos, incluyendo el hecho de que dejaron de seguirse en Instagram recientemente, lo que ciertamente es una gran cosa en 2024.

Tekashi 6ix9ine parece haberse metido en más problemas legales aquí en los Estados Unidos, porque supimos que agentes federales llegaron hasta su casa.

La Oficina del Sheriff de Palm Beach le dice a TMZ que fueron enviados a la casa de Tekashi en Lake Worth (Florida) el miércoles para ayudar a los agentes del IRS en la realización de una operación. No nos dieron más información sobre la naturaleza exacta de la operación, pero hay algunas pistas bastante claras.

De acuerdo con las fotos y videos obtenidos por TMZ -en los que el propio Tekashi no aparece, hemos confirmado que los agentes se presentaron para apoderarse de sus cosas.

Halle Bailey and DDG, the father of her child, have not gone their separate ways and are not broken up -- even though the internet certainly seems to think they did ... TMZ has learned.

The singer's rep tells us Halle and DDG are still together and that all the reports they've split are straight-up false -- point blank. The reason this even had to be addressed is because folks were running rampant with rumors that they'd thrown in the towel recently.

There were definitely indications there, perhaps, was trouble in paradise ... including the fact that they'd recently unfollowed each other on Instagram, which is kind of a big deal in 2024.

Beyoncé has now joined the long list of people giving Dawn Staley her flowers for her latest NCAA championship win -- sending a literal bouquet to the South Carolina head coach this week!

Staley showed off the gift from Queen B in an adorable Instagram video Wednesday ... beaming from ear-to-ear as she revealed in addition to the roses -- the "Irreplaceable" crooner also sent an "Always Been Country" tee too!

"This deserves a video thank you!" she said as she blared Bey's "Texas Hold 'Em" tune in the background. "Look at the flowers. Look at the merchandise! If you know, you know!"

Tekashi 6ix9ine appears to have run into more legal trouble here in the States -- because we've learned federal agents rolled up to his house ... and rolled away with his cars.

The Palm Beach Sheriff's Office tells TMZ they were dispatched to Tekashi's home in Lake Worth, FL Wednesday to assist IRS agents conducting an operation there. PBSO wouldn't give us more info on the exact nature of the operation, but there are some pretty clear clues.

According to photos/videos obtained by TMZ of the visit -- one for which Tekashi himself was not home, we've confirmed -- it looks like the agents were there to seize his stuff.
