Busta Rhymes went from fun-loving rapper to the fire-breathing dungeon dragon when a content creator called him Tracy Morgan to get a rise out of him -- and succeeded!!!

Busta did not find the joke amusing, and you can see his attitude shift from calm to crabby in a matter of seconds as the kid's fellow social media creator, Funny Salesman, looked on helplessly in the background.

A North Carolina-based influencer learned about how rough breakups can be on Monday when she was ordered to pay $1.75 million -- after being found liable for ruining a marriage.

Brenay Kennard, who's got 3 million followers on TikTok and another 274,000 on Instagram, had been accused of having an affair with her manager, Tim Montague ... which apparently broke up his marriage with his now-estranged wife, Akira, reports WRAL-TV.

Akira -- who married Tim in 2018 and has two kids with him -- brought a civil lawsuit against Brenay after Tim started seeing the influencer. Akira claimed their affair caused plenty of anguish in her personal life and negatively impacted her family dynamic.

Brenay was found liable for criminal conversation -- which carries a penalty of $250,000 -- and alienation of affection, which came with a tab of $1.5 million.

FYI ... North Carolina's alienation of affection law allows estranged spouses to sue the individual they blame for breaking up their marriage. It's one of the few states with this kind of law.

Akira's lawyer, Robonetta Jones, issued a statement after the verdict, saying her client had "received justice" with the verdict.

President Donald Trump's on-again, off-again Taylor Swift fanboying seems to be currently on again, as the White House just used one of her songs in a TikTok video ... and Swifties are HATING it.

Check out the clip ... Over Taylor's lyric "Keep it one hundred on the land, the sea, the sky..." the White House shows pics of the different branches of the military. It also flashes shots of POTUS and Vice President J.D. Vance along with their wives, Melania Trump and Usha Vance, when the song gets to "Pledge allegiance to your hands, your team, your vibes."

It's unlikely Taylor gave permission. And the comments quickly got ugly.
