tWitch’s mom and brother are pretty shaken up ... sharing how blindsided they are by the allegations made by his widow, Allison Holker.

Connie Boss Alexander opened up in a tell-all with Gayle King, explaining how Allison called to accuse someone in the family of selling a story to a magazine -- and had them sign an NDA. So, it left them totally shocked when she released her memoir about her life with tWitch and his death.

Connie also shot down Allison’s claim that tWitch had hinted at being sexually abused by a male figure in his journals, calling it completely unfounded.

Drake and his OVO Sound compadre PartyNextDoor are putting Kendrick Lamar's Halftime Show shots at them in their rearview mirror ... as they they try to respond to that huge moment in the culture.

Drake and Party unveiled the album cover art Tuesday for their new joint project, "$ome $exy $ongs 4 U," which drops, appropriately, on Friday ... Valentine's Day.

The album cover sets the mood featuring 2 models in fur coats braving the Toronto tundra, and Drake has been teasing some of the songs down in Australia during his "Anita Max Wynn" tour.

Kanye West’s website, Yeezy.com, and all the Nazi-loving hate it housed are now off the grid -- the site’s officially offline.

Just a day before the site went dark, it was selling one thing: a white shirt with a black swastika -- something people saw after Ye dropped $8 mil on a 30-second Super Bowl ad directing them to his site.

The merch dropped right after Kanye’s antisemitic, racist, and misogynistic rant, where he straight-up called himself a Nazi and professed his love for Adolf Hitler -- but Shopify, which handled all sales from the site, bailed due to the content.

Sabrina Carpenter might be pop's newest IT girl, but she hit rewind -- serving major Marilyn Monroe vibes in a bombshell photo shoot.

The pics are for Vogue, so yeah, this is a major fashion moment ... and Sabrina delivers, 'cause with those curls and sultry glam makeup, she’s practically Marilyn 2.0!

Sabrina's looks are pure vintage glam with a twist -- corsets, garter belts, and heels that scream old Hollywood meets seductive siren.

Vince Neil's private jet was involved in a deadly crash at an Arizona airport ... but the Mötley Crüe frontman was not on the plane. However, his girlfriend, who was traveling on the jet, survived ... TMZ has learned.

Allen Kovac, Mötley Crüe's manager, tells TMZ … Vince is safe and confirms he was NOT on the plane.

Sources close to the situation tell TMZ ... Vince's girlfriend, Rain, and her friend, Ashley were on the plane and are in the hospital. We're told Rain broke 5 ribs, and the dogs the women were traveling with survived the tragic incident as well.

The pilot has tragically been killed, the band says in a statement.

There's gonna be a bunch of kissy faces and red hearts sent to Rosé's phone this week -- she's celebrating her 28th birthday!!!

The BLACKPINK singer has a ton to be thankful for on her special day -- she exploded as a solo artist after releasing her debut album late last year ... with her Bruno Mars collab "APT." surpassing PSY's "Gangnam Style" as the fastest K-Pop song to reach a billion views on YouTube.

She also turned heads as the face of Kim Kardashian's latest SKIMS campaign for Valentine's Day ... modeling the line's latest pajamas and loungewear for the occasion.

The Village People are making a play for two of the biggest musical honors in the U.S. of A. -- induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame and a Kennedy Center Honor.

The V.P.'s Facebook page makes the case ... "For those who doubt Village People brought influence on other artists, Rolling Stone's song influenced by Village People. Clearly the group has had major influence on other artists, thus satisfying the prerequisite for inclusion [in the HOF]."

Fact is ... the Village People have had a string of iconic hits, most notably "Y.M.C.A.," which has had a resurgence courtesy of Prez Trump. But the list is long -- "In the Navy," "Macho Man," "San Francisco," "Go West" and "Can't Stop the Music."

Diddy had a one night stand with a street performer ... problem is, the guy says he was raped ... at least according to a new lawsuit.

The Bad Boy Records founder is being sued by a John Doe who claims Diddy orally raped him and sexually assaulted him anally after spiking his drink.

In the lawsuit, obtained by TMZ, the man claims he was singing and playing guitar on the street outside a popular Los Angeles nightclub in November 2022 when a man claiming to be a talent scout for Diddy invited him to a Diddy party.

Diplo is doubling down on his love for acid -- saying he ain't into weed or shrooms … but when it comes to LSD, his body is all in.

The DJ hit up the 2025 Fanatics Super Bowl Party in New Orleans Sunday, casually admitting he was on acid -- but just a tiny bit, so no full-blown trip … allegedly.

Diplo revealed he microdoses acid 4 times a week, calling it a better natural alternative to weed, cocaine or alcohol -- plus, he says it’s out of his system in just about two hours.

Kodak Black sent fans into a tizzy over the weekend after being filmed inexplicably lying in the street scarfing on chicken wings like they were the last of their kind.

That should make for an entertaining final visual ... we're being told it's all for his next project!!!

Kodak's attorney Bradford Cohen tells TMZ ... the star rapper is not in any trouble ... nor is he on drugs.

Gillie Da Kid has the last laugh over Tech N9ne now that his Eagles stomped out the Chiefs in Super Bowl LIX -- and he celebrated by rubbing Tech's fight song in his face.

TMZ Hip Hop caught up with Gillie in NOLA right after the Eagles put their talons all over the Lombardi Trophy, and the "Million Dollaz Worth of Game" podcaster had two words for T9: Red Kingdom!!!

Remember, Gillie's had to endure the Kansas City anthem the past few years as the Chiefs built their dynasty and he licked his chops -- but not this year.

Gille was on TMZ Live last week and explained how both Cameo's "Candy" and Too Short's "Blow The Whistle" became the Eagles' theme songs ... adding "Red Kingdom" to the playlist feels downright diabolical!!!

Back in Philly, Eagles fans shared Gillie's energy by lighting their own city up.

Kanye West is using his $8 million Super Bowl commercial to sell $20 shirts featuring nothing more than a hate symbol.

The rapper's website, Yeezy dot com, has only one thing for sale at the moment ... a white shirt emblazoned with a black swastika.

Kanye shelled out $8 million for a 30-second ad during the TV broadcast for Super Bowl LIX ... encouraging folks to go to his website ... and anyone following through is now being greeted by a swastika shirt.

Cara Delevingne hit up the Super Bowl, but forget the game -- she was all about some quality buddy time with Machine Gun Kelly.

Check out this vid -- Cara and MGK were kicking it on the suites level at Caesars Superdome in New Orleans Sunday. When MGK did a double take to say hey to a buddy in a suite, Cara just hung back, patiently waiting for his return.

Don’t get it twisted -- these two are just pals! Cara’s dating singer Minke, while MGK’s still recovering from his rollercoaster relationship with Megan Fox.

Michael Blackson is throwing serious salt in the argument only white people couldn't vibe with Kendrick Lamar's artistic Super Bowl halftime show ... the comedian witnessed it live from Caesars Superdome, and he was less than impressed.

TMZ was on site and got Mike's honest and raw take on K. Dot's big show ... he's under the impression it was probably better on TV.

Kendrick was praised by some viewers for his pro-Black dance troupes that also sniped Drake with subtle shots ahead of the grand finale.

Drake's Down Under on tour, and he was onstage venting about his exes -- just hours before two of them, Serena Williams and SZA, hit the Super Bowl stage with his sworn enemy, Kendrick Lamar.

Drake got spicy onstage, shading past flames who "play you in your f***ing life" ... and telling fans, "If you're doing better than your ex, turn up to this song!" -- before launching into "You Broke My Heart." He was performing a stop for his "Anita Max Win" tour at the Rod Laver Arena in Melbourne, Australia ahead of the Super Bowl kickoff in New Orleans, Louisiana.

Looks like Drake’s exes weren’t exactly crying over him -- they were too busy living it up at Caesars Superdome Sunday, with Serena, who he had a thing with from 2011 to 2015, making a dance cameo to "Not Like Us," the super popular track dissing Drizzy.

Jim Jefferies could be dragged into court by a cop -- correction, The Cop from the Village People -- all because Jim referred to "Y.M.C.A." as a gay anthem ... TMZ has learned.

The comedian received a cease and desist letter from Victor Willis' wife Karen Willis -- who also manages the VP lead singer -- and, the letter rips Jim for his "obscene, derogatory and false description" of the hit song ... in their eyes, at least.

Last month, while doing his 'At This Moment' podcast, Jim bluntly delivered his interpretation of "Y.M.C.A." -- "It's f***ing in showers in a hostel. Right? When you're a young man who's been kicked out of your home, there's a place you can go," paraphrasing that last part from a verse in the song.
