T.I. says cops in Amsterdam busted him over a bike incident involving an officer -- but he says they never put handcuffs on him, and he's already out of jail after posting bail.
The rapper recorded a video Tuesday while he says he was in custody in Amsterdam. According to T.I., he was riding his bicycle and didn't stop when crossing the street. He says instead ... he kept going and his handlebar broke off a cop's side mirror.
What are the chances??? Still, Tip's taking it in stride ... you can tell in the video, it's probably the chillest anyone's ever been while dealing with the police. He says the cops were chill too, and escorted him to the backseat of their car without ever taking out their cuffs.
It seems he was quickly released ... 'cause T.I. later went on Instagram Live and said he wasn't even tripping about the incident. When a friend of his called the incident "bulls**t" ... T.I. quickly responded saying it wasn't and that "everybody has a bad morning."
Some fans sitting outside a nearby joint recognized him and asked for a picture. The rapper pulled up and sat right next to them and ordered drinks.
The rapper and his wife, Tiny, had been in Italy celebrating their 11th wedding anniversary ... and seems they kept the party going with a trip to the Netherlands.

Kyle Kuzma His SUV Gets Stolen ... Driver Leads Cops on High-Speed Chase, Crashes

Kyle Kuzma's SUV was stolen ... and then taken on a joy ride that led to a high-speed chase, and an eventual crash.
Law enforcement sources tell us ... Kuzma's Chevy Tahoe SUV was stolen somewhere in Hollywood and eventually became involved in a police pursuit around 1:30 AM early Sunday morning. The chase, we're told, ended with the suspect hitting a cop car, and sending an officer to the hospital with minor injuries.
The suspect was eventually nabbed, and we're told he'll be booked on a number of charges. Eyewitnesses on the scene tell us the Tahoe came to a halt when it finally crashed into a gate at Belmont High School, just outside of DTLA ... which is a ways from Hollywood proper.
We're told the driver was detained, and taken to a hospital ... as they appeared to have suffered some sort of a leg injury. Some of the aftermath of that wreckage was captured by photogs who showed up on the scene ... and it looks like a lot of police were called in to deal.
It's unclear if the vehicle was stolen from Kyle's house, or just off the streets somewhere.
Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.
In any case -- sources familiar with the situation confirm to TMZ that the SUV is, indeed, registered to Kyle ... but we've been assured, he had nothing to do with the incident itself. We're told Kyle's manager drives the car, and is the one who filed the police report. Kyle wasn't even made aware the car was gone until sometime Sunday morning.
Like we said, tough break for Kuz ... who just got traded away by the Lakers ... and is on his way to Washington D.C. Not the greatest farewell gift L.A. could give him 😅.

Exclusive

🚨🚨 MAJOR BEEF ALERT 🚨🚨
A.J. McKee and Patricio Pitbull -- Bellator Featherweight Grand Prix finalists -- do NOT like each other, and it all goes back to ... an autograph?!
"I actually asked [Pitbull] to sign a newspaper," A.J. tells TMZ Sports.
But, instead of just signing the paper ... Pitbull had other ideas, and McKee is PISSED.
"He done crossed my whole face out, picture out. So, I'm f****** him up for that like. Like I lost a lot of respect for him because of that."
And, McKee says he thinks Pitbull's shook.
"I'm in his head so f*****g heavy!"
A.J. and Patricio are the last 2 men standing in a tournament that started with 16 of the best 145-pound fighters in Bellator.
McKee has never lost ... winning all 17 of his Bellator fights -- many of them with ease.
Meanwhile, Pitbull is a legend. He's 32-4 and has wins over Michael Chandler and Juan Archuleta -- to name a few. Patricio is also a double champ ... holding the 145 and 155 lb. titles.
The featherweight title's on the line, but arguably more important is the million-dollar prize!!
We asked McKee what he was gonna do with the cash ... and let's just say this isn't the 1st time he's thought about the 7-figure check being deposited in his bank account.
"Oh, I spent it already bro. It’s spent already. I’m paying off my dad's house. I'm buying a [Porsche] GT 2RS. I need a Porsche in my driveway, man."
FYI, A.J.'s dad is Antonio McKee -- a veteran MMA fighter.
The championship fight goes down Saturday night ... personal beef, a title, and a million dollars are all that's on the line.
Good luck!!

Soulja Boy LAPD Can't Ruin My Birthday ... 'Cause Ray J Got Me a McClaren!!!

Soulja Boy's birthday party didn't sit well with neighbors and especially the cops that shut it down ... but he was still ridin' high in a brand new McLaren that looked like a steroided-out bumble bee!!!
Soulja arrived late for his own birthday party -- in fact, so late cops already put the kibosh on the shindig before he roared up in his new ride courtesy of pal Ray J. He didn't seem to mind at all that guests were scattering left and right ... his attention was laser-focused on his screaming yellow whip.
It seems that rapper OG 3Three hosted the party, because he's the one who was imploring partiers to beat it before cops started writing tickets.
OG 3Three said cops told him the complaints were various -- noise, too many people and way too late at night. Police actually swarmed the area, both on land and in the air.
Ray J was no anonymous gift-giver ... he was more than happy to tell us he's the one who made Soulja's night with the McLaren. Ever the pitchman, Ray made sure the car had Raycon stickers, promoting his headphones.
BTW ... a McLaren starts at around $200k. Pays to have rich friends.

And, Brian lifted the thing -- which weighs in the area of 4,000 pounds -- so easily ... he decided to make it all a little harder, loading three people into the whip and then lifting it 10 consecutive times!
Check out the video ... Shaw puts the ride up and down with ease, hardly cracking a sweat!!
Of course, superhuman feats are nothing new for the 39-year-old powerlifter ... he's deadlifted over 1,000 pounds in competition plenty of times before.

Terrelle Pryor Involved In Horrifying Bike Accident ... 'Luckily Still Breathing'

Terrelle Pryor says he crashed his bike Thursday morning -- flipping the thing TWICE -- but, the former NFL star claims he somehow escaped the scary wreck with no major injuries.
It's unclear where the accident took place ... but Pryor posted videos and a picture of the damage done to his three-wheeler in the crash, and it's horrifying.
You can see in the footage, Pryor's bike had severe scrapes, scratches and dents ... and the windshield was completely crushed.
In a comment on the clips, Pryor said, "Flipped twice from this dumb ass car chipping me."
He added, "Luckily still breathing and a scratch."
In a message to TMZ Sports, Pryor reiterated he came away from wreck OK ... saying, "Yea, I'm cool."
Pryor has been seen in the three-wheeler -- a Vanderhall model that runs for around $30,000 -- for the last few months ... even posting some video of him driving the ride with no hands back in May.
Pryor, though, said he will NOT be getting another one after Thursday's accident ... saying he's, "Done with bikes."
Of course, this ain't the first time Pryor has been fortunate to be alive after a terrifying incident ... you'll recall, he somehow made it out OK after he was allegedly violently stabbed by his GF back in Nov. 2019.
Pryor -- who's been out of the NFL since the 2019 season -- has been trying to make a football comeback, though he still remains a free agent.

Lamar Odom Sued You Owe U$ for that Chevy Suburban!!!

1:46 PM PT -- A rep for Lamar tells us, "This was not his car, it was purchased for his ex. The courts are doing what they have to do."
Lamar Odom is on the hook for a huge chunk 'o change after allegedly missing the payments on an SUV ... at least according to the lender, who's now suing over it.
U.S. Bank Leasing just sued Khloe Kardashian's ex claiming he owes back payments on a 2017 Chevrolet Suburban. In docs, obtained by TMZ Sports, the lender claims he hasn't made his monthly $668.40 payment since February 15, 2020.
U.S. Bank claims it sent Lamar a letter demanding payment or surrender of the SUV but he's failed to do so.
So now ... U.S. Bank claims Lamar owes a cool $35,116.76. They want the car back or, if they can’t get it, then the money. We've reached out to Lamar for comment, no word back.
This is just the latest drama in Lamar's personal life. As we reported ... Lamar said on "The Megan Pormer Show" things with Tristan Thompson "could have turned ugly" when they beefed over a steamy pic from Khloe ... but, thankfully, cooler heads prevailed.
For the uninitiated ... LO left a "hottie" comment on Khloe's outdoor shower pic. Wasn't long before Tristan responded with a not-so-veiled threat ... while bringing up Lamar's nearly-fatal OD.

Car-Shaped Boat Cruisin' the Waters of Egypt!!!
God help the poor soul high on weed who sees this thing cruising the waters.
Check out the powerboat designed to look like a sports car ... and guess what? There's a plan to make it amphibious.
A dude name Karim Amin and 2 of his buddies were tooling around the ocean in Alexandria, Egypt in cars that were, well, sort of James Bond-y.
In pictures: Who needs a boat if you have this car? Karim Amin and two other Egyptians who designed and invented an amphibious vehicle take it for a test float at Porto Marina in Alexandria pic.twitter.com/ejn1yhZyta
— TRT World (@trtworld) June 17, 2021 @trtworld
The "boats" can hit speeds of up to 40 MPH. They even have Bluetooth and a GPS. They say it rides more like a jet ski than a traditional boat. There are only 12 of its kind, but it seems there are plans to expand. They're working on a 2.0 which would function on land and on the sea.
As for the price ... they start at $19,000 (no power windows) and go up to $44k.
Pretty awesome, and fun.

Paul Walker Toyota Supra Driven in 'F&F' Fetches $550k at Auction!!!
Paul Walker's supped-up Toyota Supra that he drove in "The Fast and the Furious" has gone to one super-charged fan ... who snagged the fast whip at an auction for $550k.
The 1994 car was auctioned off in Las Vegas this weekend ... and the winning bid came from a phone bidder for Brian O'Conner's original 10-second car. The Supra's auction had been one of the most anticipated ones in recent memory.
'F&F' fans know this car all too well -- it's the one he fixed up before smoking a Ferrari while racing down PCH in Malibu.
The car was also featured in the second installment ... 2003's "2 Fast 2 Furious." The new owner will get all the extensive documentation of the car's origin plus a certificate of authenticity. BTW, the car was built at The Shark Shop in El Segundo, CA.
Under the hood, the Supra's got what's billed as "perhaps the most renowned engine to ever come from Japan" -- the 2JZ-GTE. Remember ... Dominic Toretto's crew guy, Jesse, famously said in the first installment "2JZ engine ... this will decimate all."
As we reported ... the late actor's baby brother, Cody Walker, wouldn't even venture to guess what this car would go for at auction ... but he knew it would rake in some serious cash. And, he was right.
He also told us he thinks Paul would have thought the auction itself for a car like this is kind of hilarious.
Cody was in middle school when the OG 'F&F' film came out ... and he said folks stop him all the time to tell him his bro is what got them into loving fast cars. There's a legion of 'F&F' fans that have grown exponentially thanks to the enormous success of the franchise.
Clearly ... who drops half a mil for a Toyota?!

You didn't think Robert Kraft was gonna let that thing sit in the garage, did you?!
Check out the New England Patriots owner rolling through The Hamptons with his girlfriend Dana Blumberg in his brand new drop-top Bentley ... his birthday gift from Jay-Z, Meek Mill and Michael Rubin!
Remember, Kraft lost his mind when Rubin presented the ride to him earlier this month -- with Robert wondering how the hell the guys managed to get it!
"How the fudge did you get it?" Kraft said at the time.
Kraft apparently had been eyeing the Bentley -- but despite his immense power and fortune, the billionaire couldn't get it on his own.
But Jay, Meek and Michael -- who founded the REFORM Alliance with Kraft in 2019 -- clearly have some pull in the rare car world and made it happen!
Fast forward a few weeks ... and Kraft was seen driving it around his exclusive neighborhood with a big 'ol smile on his face!
Haven't seen Kraft this happy since he won the Super Bowl ... for the 6th time!
Makes you wonder ... how are the guys gonna top this gift when Robert turns 81 next year?!

Justin Bieber Flaunts His Futuristic Rolls ... On Date Night with Hailey

JB took his wife, Hailey, out for dinner at Matsuhisa in Bev Hills Wednesday night, and he got to show off his futuristic whip -- a custom 2018 Rolls-Royce Wraith that was 3 years in the making.
The 2 arrived in style, and ya gotta think the valet driver Justin handed his keys to was pumped to give the RoboCop Rollie a spin. Or maybe he was racked with nerves.
Later, Bieber gave everyone a good look at the car's sick wheel covers and spaceship-looking features as the couple left the restaurant. Note how super careful he was not to bottom out this time!! Live and learn.
February 2021
As we first told you ... the crew over at West Coast Customs masterminded the Biebs' jaw-dropping ride, and when they first showed him the finished product earlier this year ... he got a little emotional.
Can't blame him -- this thing's a unique work of art.

New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft just turned 80, but now he can cruise around in a drop-top like he's a billionaire half his age.
Meek Mill shared a video Monday of Bob's birthday surprise, in which Sixers partner Michael Rubin walked Kraft out of his house -- decked out in Pats gear -- to present him with his brand new blue Bentley ... something he apparently really desired.
Kraft seemed elated and mystified, asking, "How the fudge did you get it?" ... to which Rubin replied, "We have resources."
Rubin let Kraft know a handful of other rich dudes went in on his new whip -- including Meek and Jay-Z -- and it rode on a flatbed from Florida to arrive in pristine shape.
As you may know ... Robert, Meek, Jay and Michael are tight, having founded REFORM Alliance -- a criminal justice reform org -- together back in early 2019 along with a handful of other activists.

MGK & MEGAN FOX Forget LAPD Tickets ... We're All About PDA!!!
Machine Gun Kelly isn't sweating a couple tickets for riding dangerously -- not when he's got Megan Fox to distract him ... with her lips.
The lovebirds went zero to 60 shortly after getting pulled over by police Tuesday in Los Angeles ... they were spotted locking lips for a full make-out sesh on the sidewalk.
MGK even ripped a cig after the steamy PDA with his ride or die -- a sure way to lift his spirits after their motorcycle ride got interrupted by an LAPD officer.
As we first told you ... MGK and Megan got pulled over in Sherman Oaks because she was the only one wearing a helmet. Our sources said MGK also got dinged for not having the proper endorsement on his driver's license to operate a motorcycle.
But, the LAPD couldn't put a damper on MGK and Megan's afternoon, or their evening for that matter ... they went out for a nice sushi dinner at Matsuhisa in Bev Hills.
It's a good bet the sushi was more expensive than those tickets.

NFL's Janoris Jenkins Cops Investigating Stolen Rolls-Royce ... From Airport Parking lot

Exclusive Details

9:09 AM PT -- The Atlanta PD tells us ... they have opened an investigation into a "stolen" vehicle.
Cops say Jenkins reported the car missing on May 26 -- and they immediately took action.
"Officers immediately placed a lookout on the vehicle and updated its status to stolen," the APD tells us.
"Investigators are working to determine the circumstances surrounding the incident. The investigation continues."
Janoris Jenkins claims SOMEONE took his $250,000 Rolls-Royce after he parked it at the airport in Atlanta ... but says no one seems to have any idea where it went.
The Tennessee Titans cornerback claims he parked his luxury vehicle at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport on May 5, before he caught a flight to West Palm Beach.
But, when he returned days later, "my vehicle was nowhere to be found."
Jenkins says he immediately complained to management and followed up with various staff members -- along with officials from "City of Atlanta Aviation" ... but no one gave him any answers.
Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.
"They gave me the complete run around," Jenkins said ... "I was told they have footage of my vehicle arriving but no footage of it leaving. Nothing makes sense!"
Jenkins says he later went to the ATL Police Dept. -- but still, no leads on his missing Rolls-Royce.
The NFL star is clearly upset about the car -- but seems more frustrated with the way he was treated by airport officials.
"I understand very well that unfortunate events like this do happen but these types of establishments are supposed to provide SAFETY, comfort and most of all a customer service that is unmatched."
"BE aware of this airport, it's distasteful staff, and please think twice before parking your vehicle here! I'm now short a quarter million dollars of an asset that I own with no help from this airport."
We reached out to the airport for comment, but so far no official statement. We’ll update when we hear back.
In the meantime, if you know anything about Jenkins' car -- HIT HIM UP!!

New England Patriots Team Jet Delivers COVID Vaccines ... to El Salvador!!!
Gotta hand it to the New England Patriots ... once again using their resources to help combat the global COVID pandemic.
This time, Robert Kraft's team sent the Patriots jet to El Salvador to deliver 500,000 doses of the COVID vaccine.
Photos show the plane at Oscar Arnulfo Romero International Airport on Tuesday delivering the payload ... great news for a country that's been trying to roll out the vaccine to its 6.4 million citizens.
So far, El Salvador has recorded more than 71,000 cases and 2,100 deaths. The CDC has issued the country a "3" rating, which indicates a high level of COVID, noting "travelers should avoid all nonessential travel" to El Salvador.
Officials in El Salvador have said the country is on track to reach its goal of immunizing the entire population "very soon" ... thanks, in part, to the Patriots.

President Biden Burns Out in New Ford Truck ... Makes Bad Hit & Run 'Joke' with Reporter
President Biden got behind the wheel of Ford's new all-electric truck, and while it's lightning fast -- his quick wit with a reporter missed the mark. Badly.
The Prez hit up the automaker's Rogue Electric Vehicle Center Tuesday in Dearborn, Michigan where Ford's F-150 Lightning pickup truck is being built, and test-driven ... by POTUS, at least for today.
Biden was rocking his trademark aviator shades when he hit the track, and took off like he was late for an Amtrak ride.
As he told reporters he was about to get the truck up to 80 MPH ... someone in the press corps asked if he'd answer a question about Israel.
Biden quickly responded, "No," and added a "joke" -- a really bad one -- about the reporter getting in front of the truck. He said he was teasing, but it's beyond cringe.
The test drive is part of the President's tour to promote American-made electric vehicles ... and it did look like he enjoyed the hell out of the Lightning, which has been in development for more than 4 years.
The new F-150 Lightning will reportedly be faster than the original F-150, and it's expected to go on sale by mid-2022.
Biden's no doubt a huge car aficionado. You'll recall back in 2016, as Veep, Biden joined Jay Leno's show and did a burnout in his 1967 Corvette Stingray ... with Leno riding shotgun.
Joe's clearly got a need for speed.
