On Thursday, Drake and Party premiered the track list on the back cover art of their Valentine's Day drop, "$ome $exy $ongs 4 U" with cartoonish rabbits brandishing dollar signs.

Village People lead singer Victor Willis says he got an apology from comedian Jim Jefferies for saying "Y.M.C.A." is code for gay sex, but he cops to the fact the song definitely can be taken 2 ways.

Victor jumped on TMZ's "2 Angry Men" podcast with Harvey and Mark Geragos, and admitted when he wrote the iconic song the lyrics were a double entendre -- straight people could interpret 'hangin' out with all the boys' as maybe playing hoops, while gay people could view it as gettin' down in various places at the facility.

By the way ... we contacted Jim Jefferies, who said Victor's wife Karen called him and said he could call "Y.M.C.A." a gay anthem but not say it's about "sex in the showers." Jim agreed not to keep talking about it -- but says he did not apologize.

Dr. Drew is giving Diplo a dire warning about his use of psychedelics ... telling the DJ he could wind up in a psych ward if he continues his acid consumption.

The famous TV physician is "gravely" concerned about Diplo's strong affinity for LSD, and during a Wednesday interview with TMZ, he gave his analysis on how Diplo could land in a mental institution. Drew says, "It can happen. I have seen that from higher doses of LSD for sure," but on lower doses typically it can be managed on an outpatient basis.

And, Drew didn't stop there. The doctor says if Diplo's LSD intake is not managed by a professional, he might end up with a slow onset of mania or other types of neurotoxicity -- especially if he already has a mental health issue. The DJ has previously said he's struggled with depression.

Kanye West's biggest haters and supporters are waging a merchandise war in a global online marketplace ... and it's all been set off by his controversial swastika shirt.

On Tuesday, 2 Chainz broke his silence on the Grammy Award-winning shoutout that put him in the crosshairs of rap's biggest beef ever.

2 Chainz was one of several Atlanta rappers Kendrick Lamar used as an example of Drake's so-called culture-vulturing below the Mason-Dixon line ... but as many music heads have already noted, Kendrick was leaning into Chainz and Drake's 2012 banger "No Lie" when he rapped on "NLU," "2 Chainz say you good, but he lied."
