Kevin Hart Mike Epps Beef Is Phony BALONEY And Here's Proof [VIDEO]

Published | Updated

Kevin Hart and Mike Epps' epic Twitter war has gotten nasty, personal, and sometimes hysterical -- but more than anything else ... it's FAKE, and TMZ's got the evidence straight from Kevin's mouth.

The shots started flying when Mike went on the radio last weekend and called Kevin the most overrated comedian out there.

Then things really got heated when Kevin fired back with a tweet that Mike needed help selling tickets to his shows, adding, "Why don't you do us all a favor and Kill your god damn self."

Brutal ... no doubt, but here's the problem -- Kevin and Mike went HAM like this last year, and when we grilled Kev about it (in March of 2013) ... he totally copped to it being a social media set up.

Sources close to Epps insist it's 100% genuine this time around, but after you watch the clip -- we're guessing you're siding with us.

Justin Bieber finally responded to Drake Bell's incessant Twitter insults by crashing his album release party Thursday night and basically saying ... YOUR FANS LIKE ME BETTER.

Bell and Bieber have a long-standing beef of sorts ... really it's just Bell constantly insulting Bieber on Twitter, but the Biebs never responds ... until last night.

Bieber pulled up to Mixology at the Grove in Los Angeles last night where Bell's event was going down. He simply rolled down his window ... which caused the crowd to go BONKERS.

But Bieber didn't stop there -- he posted a video of the screaming fans to his Instagram account, but didn't even bother to mention Bell, saying, "So nice seeing my fans at the grove tonight."

THEN he posted a photo on Instagram (see below) of Bell looking down at Bieber's van mobbed by fans with the caption: "Why is @justinbieber sprinter van getting more attention than my album release party." Bieber eventually took it down.

Our sources say the evening ended when things got heated between a guy in Bieber's entourage, Milk Tyson, and Bell's dad.

As the old saying goes ... Biebs who laughs last, laughs best.

Jennette McCurdy Feud with Nickelodeon Is All About Money

Published | Updated

Jennette McCurdy's beef with Nickelodeon is strictly about the almighty dollar ... and how she makes less than her "Sam & Cat" co-star Ariana Grande ... TMZ has learned.

McCurdy was a no-show at the Kids' Choice Awards over the weekend, and took to Twitter to air her grievances, writing, "I was put in an uncomfortable, compromising, unfair situation (many of you have guessed what it is) and I had to look out for me. I chose to not go because sticking up for what is right and what is fair is what my mom taught me is ALWAYS the most important thing."

McCurdy was quick to explain she was talking about Nickelodeon and NOT her racy photo scandal.

Our sources say the source of McCurdy's dissatisfaction is rooted in her paycheck. We're told the pint-sized star is pissed that Grande makes WAY MORE money than her and she's been trying to renegotiate her deal ... so far to no avail.

The show is one of the most popular on the network, but production has been halted and so far a second season has yet to be ordered.

We're told McCurdy doesn't have a problem with Grande personally ... just with Nickelodeon. For their part, a rep for the network says, "We have nothing but the utmost respect for Jennette and her talent."

Published | Updated

Lil Boosie got some high-profile support during his stint behind bars ... telling TMZ Sports he got a phone call from Heisman Trophy winner Jameis Winston the day after FSU won the title.

Here's how it all happened ...

Famous Jameis is a HUGE Boosie fan and during his Freshman year at Florida State, he would often quote Boosie's lyrics to his team, on social media and sometimes during interviews with reporters.

Word got back to Boosie, who was serving time in Angola State Penitentiary on drug charges, and the rapper tells us he sent a message to JW that he'd love to talk with him when he had the chance.

"We chopped it up ... I told him I was a fan of his also."

Boosie says he told Jameis to "stay focused" and let him know that he'll be continuing to root for the guy ... even though he's a die-hard LSU fan.

Moral of the story -- win a Heisman and a National Championship ... and you too can meet your hero.
