Jay-Z was so pissed over his Yankee Stadium show being delayed, he wouldn't talk to a soul backstage ... so says Memphis Bleek.

We got Memphis in New York City on Monday and our photog asked him what Hov was like backstage as he waited for hours to take the stage.

Much like his audience, Jay was not too happy about the delays ... after fans reportedly broke through a security checkpoint ... and his buddy Memphis tells us he turned into a "stone-faced killer" and wouldn't talk to anybody.

Memphis thought the function would get shut down if Jay didn't take the stage by midnight ... but Jay finally took the concert at 12:20 am ... over 4 hours after the scheduled start time.

We're starting the week off strong and sexy with a corset cutie teasing her cleavage ... can you guess who she is?!?

She's an American model, YouTube personality, and DJ.

Her song "Wait" peaked at #10 on the Billboard Hot Dance/Electronic Songs chart.

Still unsure?!? Maybe this well help ... she was once linked to Justin Bieber.

Pat McAfee is sharing as much as he can about the Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce wedding without getting in trouble ... saying any criticism of the ceremony is nonsense, because it was a "spectacular" evening!!

The former Indianapolis Colts punter kicked off "The Pat McAfee Show" on Monday by pulling back the curtain, or rather the neutral-colored drapes, on the ultra-secretive celebration.

While Pat insists he's keeping plenty under wraps, he drops some jaw-dropping tidbits and gushes it was the greatest event he's ever attended.

Pat says guests weren't allowed to have phones or take notes, so everything being reported has come down to memory ... but one thing he says he remembers vividly is just how over-the-top the wedding was.

Jay-Z is spitting fiction, not facts, when he claims Colin Kaepernick agreed to be silenced by the NFL ... an allegation Jay dropped live on stage at Yankee Stadium, and one refuted by sources speaking to TMZ Sports.

The moment came during Jay's Friday night opener ... in a freestyle rap aimed at his critics, he said, "They run out of characters, had to bring back up Kap again. Buddy took a check, I ain't even mad at him, but along with that check you have to sign a non-disparagement. I’m the one they can’t control."

The shot at Kaepernick -- 7 years after he and the NFL reached a settlement -- had some fans wondering, "Why now?" But, sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ Sports, the bigger issue is Jay's wrong ... Colin did not sign a non-disparagement agreement when he settled the lawsuit in which he'd claimed NFL teams were colluding to keep him out of the league.

MGK is doing another victory lap after Conor McGregor's UFC 329 loss ... dissing the hell out of the UFC superstar for getting injured seconds into his bout with Max Holloway.

The rapper -- who had a highly publicized squabble with Notorious at the 2021 VMAs -- reignited the feud shortly after Saturday night's results ... saying, "knees weak of old age the real conor can’t stand up 🤡@thenotoriousmma" alongside a pic of their run-in on Instagram.

He clearly had no regrets ... 'cause a day later, he doubled down.

The West Coast may just be the best coast ... because E-40 didn't have his audience waiting for hours to see him perform at SeaWorld ... unlike the Jay-Z concert at Yankee Stadium.

SeaWorld got lit Saturday when the Bay Area rapper made a huge splash at the Bayside Amphitheater in San Diego ... and the crowd was dancing, going dumb and getting hyphy.

E-40 had a sea of people turning up ... and they weren't just in the stands. People swarmed around the banks to dance to his hits ... and tons of ladies -- and even an old head -- were twerking!

Jeezy was supposed to perform in Las Vegas on Sunday night, and when he finally took the stage, he was across the country at Yankee Stadium ... and it's all because of Jay-Z.

The rapper pulled the plug on his scheduled residency performance at PH Live inside Planet Hollywood ... opting instead for a surprise cross-country trip to New York City, where he reunited with Jay during the legend's star-studded "Extra Innings" concert.

Folks back in Vegas were wondering why Jeezy's show was abruptly canceled ... and they got their answer late Sunday when the Snowman emerged onstage alongside Hov to perform their longtime collaborations "Seen It All" and "Go Crazy" ... sending the Bronx crowd into a frenzy.

Jay-Z brought out the big guns on night three of his Yankee Stadium shows ... because fans were in for an epic night when the "99 Problems" artist brought out Rihanna and Beyoncé to wow the packed joint.

The crowd went absolutely nuts for the guest performances, as shown in videos floating around social ... Rihanna, especially when she came out for "Run This Town." Beyoncé killed it with "Drunk In Love."

Of course, both superstars looked amazing ... Beyoncé in a glimmering Yankees outfit and Rihanna rocking a badass leather ensemble complete with shades.

Iconic tenor Andrea Bocelli is in the middle of a crazy story that involves a wedding, his private estate in Italy ... and a $500,000 burglary!

Sources tell TMZ ... a couple from the United States was the victim of a robbery at a swanky Bocelli family estate in Forte dei Marmi -- an upscale seaside town on the Tuscan Versilia coast -- where intruders helped themselves to watches, cash, and fine jewelry, among other high-end brand valuables, while everyone was at dinner.

Sources tell TMZ the couple feels they were done dirty -- on the eve of their wedding, no less -- claiming there was no forced entrance into their locked and alarm-set villa. They say a wall safe, which they were unaware was in the home, was even cracked.

Jay-Z's second night of his three shows at Yankee Stadium was not without crowd drama ... two fans seemingly got into it with security guards -- and were then restrained and escorted away.

The legendary rapper hit the stage at the famous Bronx ballpark on Saturday night and, at one point, Alicia Keys joined him on stage to perform their iconic song, "Empire State of Mind." That's when things got heated between the fans and security guards.

TMZ obtained exclusive video showing one of the fans getting up from the ground with security around them. Once he was on his feet, the fan slugs a security officer in the face before he's taken away by several other guards.

Ice-T's heating his TV career back up ... because after a part-time role on season 27 of "Law & Order: Special Victims Unit," he promises fans will see him in every episode of season 28.

The legendary rapper and actor stopped by for a long convo with Towanda Robinson on "The TMZ Podcast" ... and our team had to ask him about Detective Odafin "Fin" Tutuola -- the character he's played on the show since the show's second season way back in 2000.

Ice-T explains he was a part-time performer last year because producers needed some extra cash to bring Kelli Giddish's character Amanda Rollins back to the program ... a decision he says didn't upset him one bit.

Brandy's calling out all the body-shamers online ... telling them to focus on the soul of a person instead of their looks.

The singer-songwriter hopped on social media to deliver her raw thoughts on people attacking how someone looks ... encouraging people to be gentler to one another.

In the long caption, Brandy writes, "Before you speak about someone’s body, before you speak about someone’s face, before you decide who they are by what you see, remember, you are looking at someone’s child. Someone’s friend. Someone’s dream. Someone’s life. A soul. And souls have always been more beautiful than surfaces."

Jay-Z and Fanatics CEO Michael Rubin may have 99 problems ... but a rocking week of events in New York City ain't one!

The close pals and kings of NYC are taking over the city with a series of top-tier, celeb-packed extravaganzas ... beginning with Jay-Z's Yankee Stadium concerts this weekend.

The rapper sold out three shows in the Bronx ballpark this weekend ... with celebs like Fat Joe, LeBron James, Megan Thee Stallion, Kevin Hart, Ice Spice, the Knicks' NBA Finals Hero OG Anunoby, Jadakiss and DJ Khaled pulling up for Friday night's show -- ya know, the one that iconically opened with Beyoncé cuttin' Jay-Z's hair!

Bunnie XO just got a major upgrade amid her divorce from Jelly Roll -- her boobs!

The media personality revealed on her "Dumb Blonde" podcast Friday that she got her breast implants redone earlier this week because her recent 20-pound weight loss left her chest looking like "ski slopes."

Bunnie said she got "small implants," with one measuring 310cc and the other 300cc. This comes after she had her implants removed in 2019 following severe complications.

She also got some work done under her eyes, she revealed ... but did not divulge more on that.

Jay-Z kicked off his "Reasonable Doubt" 30th anniversary concert series with a snip-tease -- with Beyoncé giving his hair a trim in the stands of Yankee Stadium!

Check out the clip -- the buzz was shown before the rapper took the stage Friday night ... and fans went wild as they watched the superstar tidy up her man's look. Fans online are seeing the buzzed look as a sign that new music is on the way, BTW!

But that wasn't the only surprise of the night -- Beyoncé ended up joining her hubby to fill in for Mary J. Blige's feature in "Can’t Knock the Hustle." The power couple had fans thrilled ... and she gushed over the rapper before departing, encouraging the crowd to "Give it up for my baby."

This is not what dreams are made of -- a brawl broke out at Hilary Duff's Los Angeles "Lucky Me" tour stop at The Forum this week ... and the sequin-filled incident is on video.

Check out the clip -- a fan in a shining, shimmering crop top appears to be getting their hair yanked by another person in a black outfit as security attempts to pull them apart.

It's not clear what led to the nasty fight -- and bystanders are visibly shocked as they try to do anything they can to help defuse the ordeal. We assume this is not what HD meant when she encouraged fans to "take a crazy chance."
