Fights & Feuds

There's a rumor going around that Drake and Kendrick Lamar's shared music label tried to force them to squash their beef -- but turns out, it's totally unfounded ... TMZ has learned.

Here's the deal ... a blind item is being circulated that purports to have the inside scoop on an alleged meeting between Kendrick, Drake and Universal Music Group ... which both artists are technically signed to via distribution subsidiaries.

There's a few bullet points addressed in the blind item -- including the claim that UMG honchos tried to force Kendrick to capitulate to Drake and apologize and squash things.

3:52 PM PT -- 50's attorneys, Reena Jain and Blank Rome, tell TMZ … "Despite being given ample opportunity to retract a false and malicious retaliatory accusation, Ms. Narvaez has shamefully chosen to interfere with her 11-year-old son’s relationship with his loving father by falsely calling him a 'rapist.'"

They add, "The motivation behind this appears to be Ms. Narvaez’s unfortunate entanglement and misguided loyalty to Mr. Combs, who we believe to be underwriting this attack and whom Mr. Jackson has been warning Ms. Narvaez and others about for many years."

50 Cent's through trolling his ex, now he's brought lawyers into it, and he's suing Daphne Joy for publicly accusing him of rape and physical abuse.

In docs filed Monday, and obtained by TMZ, 50 blasts Daphne for her Instagram post from March 28, where she made the allegation behind his lawsuit -- and he says she only did it because it came out that he was going to seek sole custody of their son, Sire.

50 says he only made that decision about Sire after Daphne was labeled a "sex worker" in the Rodney Jones lawsuit against Diddy -- and he claims she retaliated with the open letter to him, posted on IG.

Ric Flair nearly handed out figure four leg locks outside a pizza joint in Florida after a heated argument at the bar ended with a challenge to fight in the parking lot ... and the entire ordeal was captured on video!

The 3-minute long video shows an agitated Nature Boy arguing with a Piesanos restaurant manager in Gainesville, FL before another patron steps in and threatens Flair with physical violence.

"Come outside here and talk to me like a man," Ric told the manager he was jawing with, before another man interrupted, standing up, looking at Flair, and ominously saying, "Hey, you wanna go have a talk with me in the parking lot? Cause I'll work you. I don't give a s**t."

Drake sent the latest shot in his Kendrick Lamar beef, but fans -- actually trolls -- might have the last say by flocking to GoFundMe to mock him, and potentially profit off his rap demise ... which the company's shutting down.

Here's the deal ... as the dust possibly settles on the rap front -- most pundits say Kendrick's won -- people online are still having a field day over all the back and forth between these two hip-hop titans, and some are even running to GFM to raise a buck ... or that was the plan.

Indeed, a ton of people created fake GoFundMe campaigns over the past 24 hours or so ... and a lot of them are at Drake's expense, soliciting funds to celebrate his metaphorical burial ... if you buy he's lost the 2024 rap war.

Aaron Hernandez ended up being referenced at least a couple different times during Tom Brady's roast -- and not in a flattering way either ... which is why his ex-fiancée is pissed.

The late Patriots star's partner Shayanna Jenkins -- who's also the mother of his only child -- tells TMZ she's disappointed in the fact that her deceased fiancé was the butt of multiple jokes during the Netflix program ... which ended up making light of his sad story.

She says, "It’s sad that I’m trying to raise my children in such a cruel world."

Flo Milli kicked her own self off stage when fans threw objects at her while she opened a show for Gunna -- a triggering moment for Ari Lennox.

The good news is Ari's happy Flo's headliner stuck up for her ... but that also reminds her she couldn't get a peep of support outta Rod Wave when this happened to her as his opening act!

Flo Milli cut her opening day set short as part of Gunna's Bittersweet Tour on Saturday in Columbus, OH -- the Buckeye crowd got rowdy and apparently belted Flo with a good shot.

Drake and Kendrick Lamar's historic battle is over, with K. Dot emerging victorious, so says a large consensus of the hip-hop community -- but DJ Akademiks says a comeback is still possible.

The #1 rap media maven joined us Monday on "TMZ Live," and explained why he doesn't feel Drake bowed out, or exited stage left ... despite that being the takeaway many spectators got from his latest track "The Heart Part 6."

Ak agrees with the majority, though, that Kendrick has the edge -- but he saluted Drake for responding to the pedophile allegations Kendrick made against him in "Not Like Us."

Nicolas Cage's son is on LAPD's radar, as cops investigate allegations that he got violent with his mother ... and, new photos capture the brutal alleged injuries.

Law enforcement sources tell us Weston Cage has been named a suspect in a battery report involving his mother, Christina Fulton. We're told the alleged incident took place last Sunday evening, when Weston was at Christina's Los Angeles-area home.

We're told Weston and Christina got into a verbal dispute, which then allegedly turned into a physical scuffle. Our sources say an ambulance was dispatched to Christina's place -- though no one was transported to the hospital.

El hijo de Nicolas Cage está en el radar de la policía de Los Ángeles, ya que los policías investigan las acusaciones de que se puso violento con su madre, y nuevas fotos captan las brutales supuestas lesiones.

Fuentes policiales nos dicen que Weston Cage ha sido nombrado sospechoso en un informe de agresión que involucra a su madre, Christina Fulton. Nos dicen que el presunto incidente tuvo lugar el pasado domingo por la noche, cuando Weston estaba en la casa de Christina en el área de Los Ángeles.

Nos dicen que Weston y Christina tuvieron una disputa verbal, que luego supuestamente se convirtió en una pelea física. Nuestras fuentes dicen que una ambulancia fue enviada a la casa de Christina, aunque nadie fue trasladado al hospital.

Jim Jones got into a wild fight at the airport, taking on two men at once in unbelievable footage ... and, he's claiming he was just trying to defend himself.

New video, obtained by TMZ captures the fight ... which kicks off as Jim and two others are reaching the bottom of an escalator at Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport. It's unclear what set off the encounter, but it escalates quickly.

While JJ throws punches at the two individuals, they seem to land on an older man's leg, and he's clearly in a lot of pain when he hits the floor at the bottom of the escalator.

Kendrick Lamar's escalating his rap beef with Drake ... labeling him as a "pedophile" in another new diss track less than 24 hours after releasing "Meet The Grahams."

The 17-time Grammy winner released the new song -- titled "Not Like Us" -- about an hour ago ... and, in it, Kendrick finds a series of different ways to refer to Drake as a pedophile before just calling him one.

To start with, the cover art shows Drake's home with sex offender beacons all over it ... the implication's clear enough from the beginning before KL really digs in against the man he's beefing with.

Ryan García claramente no estaba preocupado de haber reprobado un test de drogas horas antes de que se diera a conocer al público porque TMZ Sports obtuvo un video suyo saliendo de fiesta en L.A. la noche del martes, aparentemente sin ninguna preocupación.

García llegó a Bootsy Bellows en West Hollywood alrededor de la medianoche, aproximadamente 20 horas antes de que se revelara que tenía Ostarine en su sistema el día antes de su gran victoria sobre Devin Haney, y estuvo bailando sobre una mesa de lo más relajado.

Una persona que estuvo ahí nos dice que García estuvo de buen humor todo el tiempo, tomando tequila e incluso tomándose algunas selfies con otras personas del club.

Ryan Garcia clearly wasn't sweating his flunked drug test in the hours before it became known to the public ... 'cause TMZ Sports has obtained video of him partying hard at an L.A. hotspot on Tuesday night -- seemingly without a care in the world.

Garcia hit up Bootsy Bellows in West Hollywood at around midnight -- roughly 20 hours before it was revealed he had Ostarine in his system the day before his huge upset win over Devin Haney -- and he danced at his table with no signs of worry.

We're told by one person in attendance that Garcia appeared to be in great spirits the entire time he was there -- sippin' on tequila ... and even taking selfies with other clubgoers.

Ryan Garcia placed blame for his failed PED test squarely at the feet of Victor Conte ... but the former BALCO mastermind turned anti-doping advocate says that's pure BS, telling TMZ Sports he had absolutely nothing to do with the flunked test!

"His conspiracy theory is completely wrong and debunked. I have nothing to do with this. I'm completely independent of VADA," Conte told us on Thursday, addressing Garcia's allegation.

If you missed it, after news broke that King Ry flunked multiple tests for Ostarine, the 25-year-old fighter lodged this allegation.

Gillie Da Kid went viral for labeling Kendrick Lamar's booming Drake diss "corny" -- but it's a classic pot-calling-kettle black moment according to Jess Hilarious, who's got receipts!!!

"The Breakfast Club" crew was dissecting Kendrick's "Euphoria" Thursday morning, and Jess couldn't believe Gillie had such a slanted take on the song.

Jess remembered the time Gillie clucked his wings to turn into the "Chicken Man" for a song/video back in 2012 -- which she felt effortlessly defined the word "corny."
