Jacquees Kicked Off Flight ... Beefs with Passenger On Way Out
Jacquees -- the singer known for his hit, "B.E.D." -- was ordered to G.T.F.O. a Delta flight leaving Atlanta, and as he was being escorted off ... he got into it with a fellow passenger.
TMZ obtained video of Jacquees getting the ole heave ho. A source on the flight says he'd refused to get off his phone while the plane was taxiing, so the pilot turned back to the gate and gave him the boot. We're told Jacquees refused to leave until a flight attendant convinced him to walk off ... and that's where the video picks up.
Our source says as the rapper was exiting, a pissed passenger said, "Thanks, asshole" ... which Jacquees didn't appreciate much.
A source close to Jacquees says a male flight attendant ignited the whole sitch. The singer was on the phone with his mom and didn't know it was time to turn it off. We're told the flight attendant went ballistic ... and made a racist comment as Jacquees was leaving.
The source says his team has filed a complaint against that flight attendant. Jacquees was rebooked on the next flight, 45 minutes later.
Delta tells TMZ ... it supports its crew's decision to remove Jacquees and apologizes to the remaining passengers who may have been inconvenienced. Delta says the singer was "contrite" after his removal.

Shots fired.

DMX Charged with Tax Evasion ... Feds Say He Hid Millions
DMX and the IRS have major beef ... the feds just slapped the rapper with 14 counts of tax evasion, and he's already surrendered to law enforcement.
The U.S. Attorney's Office in NYC says DMX has concealed his income for several years and is now about $1.7 million in the red to the IRS. According to the indictment, X had cash pouring in during the early 2000s from a slew of hits. The feds even name checked "X Gon' Give It to Ya" in the docs.
They say he was avoiding using personal bank accounts, using accounts of surrogates -- including business managers -- and lived mostly on cash.
According to the docs, when DMX appeared on 'Couples Therapy' he was supposed to be paid $125,000 -- but when he got his initial check the proper taxes had been withheld ... which didn't sit well with him. The feds say he went back to producers and demanded a new check for the full amount ... which he got.
In the indictment, prosecutors say he listed his income in 2011 and 2012 as "unknown" ... when in reality he'd made $353k and $542k, respectively. In 2013, he finally did report income ... of $10k. That number was a little off, according to feds, who say he actually hauled in $250k that year.
If DMX is convicted on all 14 counts, he's looking at 44 years in federal lockup. He turned himself in Thursday evening, and will be officially indicted Friday morning before a judge.
Floyd Mayweather Swarmed at New York Bank ... Insane Video
Madness in Times Square ... where hundreds of people swarmed Floyd Mayweather as he was walking out of a bank -- and the video is pretty nuts.
Floyd was flanked by his massive TMT bodyguards as he left Chase Bank -- where he either deposited his $100 million check ... or withdrew some cash for the big media event in Brooklyn Thursday night.
(Remember, Conor mocked him for only having $5,000 in his backpack on Wednesday).
Either way, the scene was chaotic -- everyone tried to get a shot on their phones -- but Floyd ultimately made it to his ride without incident.
Not everyone got out clean though ... cops were on the street firing off tickets for illegally parked cars that appeared to be a part of the TMT entourage.
Good thing Floyd's rich.

President Trump Says Oui, Oui, Oui To French First Lady's Body
President Trump got an eyeful of French President Emmanuel Macron's wife and, in the most awkward way possible ... made it clear he liked what he saw.
Trump, with Melania at his side, greeted Brigitte Macron Thursday in Paris -- and in video posted on Prez Macron's Facebook ... POTUS was overheard saying, "You're in such good shape. Beautiful."
The issue ... he was looking right at her at the time. Madame Macron seemed to squirm a bit as she moved closer to Melania during the exchange.
The French First Lady's age has been a hot topic over there -- she's 64, while her husband is 39 -- so, it's possible Trump was attempting to deliver a compliment.
No getting around it though ... this video is -- how do you say? Zee awkward.

Peyton Manning: People Told Me Not to Golf with Trump
Peyton Manning says he was pressured to REJECT President Donald Trump's invitation to golf with him last month ... but #18 didn't listen ... saying turning down the POTUS would be "un-American."
The NFL legend appeared on "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" and said he happened to be in D.C. back in June when he got a call from the White House asking him to join Trump for golf.
"I gotta tell ya Jimmy, I had a lot of people telling me not to do it," Manning said.
"I think it would have been almost un-American to have said 'No.'"
Manning said Trump was a gracious host and they had fun golfing together.
When asked if Trump cheated -- as Samuel L. Jackson has previously alleged -- Peyton shot that down too and said he counted Donald's strokes.

Rob Kardashian Apologizes to His Family You Were Right All Along
Rob Kardashian is deeply remorseful for slut shaming Blac Chyna ... at least that's what he told his family.
Sources close to the situation tell TMZ ... Rob's spoken with all of his sisters and his mom, telling them he has no excuse for posting nude pics of Chyna and her medical information on social media. He said he regrets he didn't deal with the Chyna drama privately and said it wouldn't happen again.
One thing Rob did not apologize for ... he flatly denied he ever physically abused Chyna.
Rob also acknowledged all of the Kardashian women warned him Chyna was "bad news" and he should stay away ... advice he ignored. He told them they were right.
He also said he stayed with Chyna longer than he should have because he grew up in a 2-parent household and wanted the same for Dream.
We're told Rob and family have stayed quiet through the ordeal in an effort to stop the back and forth in the best interest of his daughter.
We're told the women accepted his apology and are hopeful he'll heed their advice.

Two things you don't say to black men in America ...
1) "Dance for Me"

"Dance for me, boy!" Ohh, ohh. Does he know what he just said?

The rant got worse once he was in the police cruiser -- "I'm a f**king American, I pay my taxes, get these s**ts off my f**king arm." He also got racial, telling the black officer ... the President "doesn't give a f**k about you, and you wanna do what? Arrest white people?"
After unsuccessfully begging the cops to let him go ... he turned to threats, saying ... "I got more millionaire lawyers than you know what to do with, you stupid bitch!"

Blac Youngsta Posts Mock Crucifixion Pic ... Internet Destroys Him
Blac Youngsta put himself on a cross, and now he's actually getting $10,000 offers ... to delete the damn photo.
The rapper/master s**t stirrer posted the pic Monday of himself fully mocking the crucifixion with Tupac's lyrics, "HAIL MARY COME WITH ME." He also said "R.I.P. TUPAC."
It appears he was shooting a music video, and not necessarily pulling one of his usual attention-grabbing stunts. Still, most of the nearly 15k people who've commented on the pic have called him everything from corny to disrespectful to ... "about the dumbest mf."
Atlanta rapper Ralo was pissed enough to offer Youngsta $10k if he removed the post. All we know for sure at this point is the pic's still up -- and Youngsta definitely will NOT be invited to teach Sunday School this week.

Dr. Dre 'Out of My F***ing Mind' When I Beat Dee Barnes
Dr. Dre is making his most powerful confession/apology for attacking journalist Dee Barnes back in the '90s, and imploring other men to keep their hands off women.
Dre faced the "dark cloud that follows" him during part 2 of HBO's documentary "The Defiant Ones." While the doc focuses on his success in the music biz, Dre admits he absolutely lost it on Barnes in 1991 at an L.A. nightclub.
He says, "I was out of my f**king mind at the time. I f**ked up. It's a major blemish on who I am as a man."
He's apologized publicly for the beating before, but to be honest -- that came right before "Straight Outta Compton" was released ... and many saw it as a PR move.
This one -- which includes an intense warning about domestic violence -- seems genuine.

Brandi Glanville Quit Making a Stink, Joanna!! 'Smelly Vagina' Just Part of the Deal
Brandi Glanville had carte blanche to criticize or poke fun at Joanna Krupa's genitals ... at least that's what Brandi claimed under oath.
Brandi was deposed in the infamous smelly vagina lawsuit filed by Joanna -- and told Joanna's lawyer ... she "didn't say anything that I knew to be false." You'll recall ... Brandi made the vajayjay claim during a 2015 'Watch What Happens Live' appearance.
According to the depo transcript, obtained by TMZ, Brandi also said you get what you sign up for when you're on a reality show. Joanna's lawyer asked, "Do you think that means you can say things like her pu**y smells?" Glanville replied, "Well, yeah."
Brandi also reiterated her claim the 'Housewives' contract bars cast members from suing each other. She insists being on the show means dealing with "the good, the bad and the ugly that comes along with it."
She wants the court to toss Joanna's defamation suit like it's day-old fish.

OKC's Andre Roberson $14 Tip On $500 Bill After Signing $30 Mil Contract!
Andre Roberson -- the guy who just signed a $30 MILLION contract with the OKC Thunder -- left a $14 tip on a nearly $500 restaurant bill ... just hours after inking his new deal.
For real.
Here's what we know ... Roberson and 12 of his friends hit up Chupacabra Cantina in Austin, TX on Wednesday -- downing vodka Red Bulls, vodka sodas and Long Islands.
We're told Fly Dre and his crew seemed to be having a great time while rackin' up the $487.13 tab.
Problem is ... when time came to collect the check, dude left just $13.97 ... that's less than 3%.
Also, Roberson was trying to make the final bill an even $500 -- but miscalculated the math (it's okay, it happens).
Roberson went to social media to plead his case ... claiming he didn't feel like he needed to leave a tip at all because he only bought 1 bottle and "there was no service."

'RHOA' Show Gives Kenya Ultimatum Your Husband or Your Job
Kenya Moore's facing an impossible situation -- put her extremely reluctant husband on 'Real Housewives of Atlanta' or get fired from the show.
Production sources tell us, producers have told Kenya the only way she'll survive on the show is if they can chronicle her relationship with husband Marc Daly. The problem ... former banker Marc doesn't want on the show, because he has big problems with the way 'RHOA' portrays black men.
We're told Kenya has argued the show hired her, not her husband. There's no mention of him in her contract. What's more, she told producers she's waited 46 years for a loving relationship which she now has, and doesn't want to jeopardize it.
Our sources say her plea has fallen on deaf ears. We're told producers have essentially given her an ultimatum -- either get Marc on the show or she'll be phased out.
There's one other complication. We know Kenya wants to get pregnant and is undergoing IVF treatments, and stress decreases the likelihood of success. And she's made it clear ... she's stressed out.
