TMZ Hip Hop - Page 3

It's officially Halloween -- which means it's time for TMZ to show off our all-out costumes, reppin' some of pop culture's most iconic moments, entertainment legends and more.

Clearly, our fearless leader Harvey understood the assignment ... dressing up as the redwood tree from Taylor Swift's song "Wood" all while wearing a Kansas City Chiefs jersey -- 'cause we know who Tay's talkin' about in the cheeky song!

We've even got a special Labubu for you -- and no, he's not up for grabs!

2:28 PM PT -- TMZ just obtained the first image of Diddy at FCI Fort Dix, and he's walking around the prison yard in a beanie and a jacket.

Diddy's gray beard is also visible in the photo, which was snapped Friday, and it's the first time we've seen him since his September 2024 arrest ... aside from court sketches from his criminal trial.

Sean "Diddy" Combs is being put to work behind bars, and his first federal prison job has him doing the ol' fluff n' fold.

Sources familiar with the situation tell us Diddy's first gig at FCI Fort Dix in New Jersey plants him in the laundry room ... washing and drying dirty clothes.

Manual labor may come as a shock to Diddy ... during his criminal trial, federal prosecutors claimed he couldn't even charge his own phone or fetch a bottle of water, and would send his army of personal assistants to basically do everything for him.

3 PM PT -- Bianca's back at it, uploading a new snap to her IG Story Friday afternoon … this time she's got her gams covered up, kinda, with a sheer body stocking pulled up high on her torso, just below a gold lamé bullet bra, in a full-body selfie, in full focus. It's a virtual flood of content today after the recent drought.

Bianca Censori’s IG has officially thawed after a long, dry summer ... the Aussie bombshell’s back on socials ... and she’s heating things up with a sizzling snap.

Ye’s wife finally broke her IG silence after a months-long freeze on Friday, dropping a Story showing off those killer legs in her trademark skintight, nude-toned fit.

Bianca struck one heck of a pose in the blurry snap, serving her best angle seated in a chair to make up for those photo-free months.

The Artist Formerly Known as NLE Choppa just unleashed an explosive diss aimed at NBA YoungBoy in the vein of Tupac Shakur ... but YB's mother thinks his Memphis rival needs to worry about other things -- like coming out the closet!!!

NLE is currently ongoing a rebrand as NLE The Great, and he hammered home his new existence with his new single "KO" ... a visual where NLE transforms into both Michael Jackson and 2Pac, while spoofing YoungBoy as a crackhead who's leading his young fans down a dark path.

Sherhonda Gaulden, YB's mom, devoted plenty of time to ripping NLE on IG ... accusing him of homosexual activity.

Offset seemingly set his sights on Cardi B and Stefon Diggs in his latest song ... appearing to shade the hell outta the new couple with some vicious lyrics.

Offset released his newest project, "Haunted by Fame," on Friday ... and one track in particular has listeners talking.

In "NO SWEAT," the former Migos MC raps about someone leaving for a worse option ... and it's fair to assume he's comparing himself to the NBA's GOAT.

Christian "King" Combs is taking a page from dad Diddy's playbook -- his Halloween one, that is.

Check out the clip -- King dressed up as the Joker Thursday night just 3 years after his famous father went as Batman's rival while celebrating spooky season. Only difference is ... King went as Jared Leto's version of the infamous villain ... while Diddy took on the 'Dark Knight' rendition.

The model and rapper pulled up to the Body After Dark Halloween Party at Members Restaurant & Club in Los Angeles with his longtime girlfriend, Raven Tracy. She was on theme by going as none other than Harley Quinn.

B.G. helped prove Cash Money is an army during ComplexCon when they squared off against No Limit Records for a celebration of hits for the latest Verzuz ... and the NOLA hip hop powerhouses aren't done yet -- they're taking the show on the road!!!

TMZ Hip Hop caught up with B-Gizzle on a rainy NYC Thursday, but Chopper City's finest had some bright news for rap fans ... exclusively revealing the upcoming Cash Money and No Limit Records tour!!!

B.G. was one of the shining stars of Verzuz, contributing his classics such as "CMIAA" and "Bling Bling" to the extensive playlist, but tells us look out for his upcoming collabs with No Limit vets Mac and Mia X!!!

Chrisean Rock has a new man in her life -- after kicking the last guy to the curb -- and doesn't want to hear any criticism from the peanut gallery talking 'bout an age difference!!!

TMZ Hip Hop caught up with Chrisean out in West Hollywood last night ... where she eagerly opened up about her new relationship with up-and-coming rapper "3" AKA TopHat33k.

Chrisean's dating preference is clear at this point, having dated Blueface and HoodTrophy Bino before; the latter rapper being a fresh split from just a few weeks ago after they landed in hot water trashing a hotel room together.

Sean "Diddy" Combs is all checked in at his new home for the next two-and-a-half years ... TMZ has learned he's begun serving his federal prison sentence.

Law enforcement sources tell us Diddy was transferred to FCI Fort Dix in New Jersey early Thursday morning and began the check-in process. Remember, this is the prison he requested to serve his time at after Judge Arun Subramanian sentenced him to 50 months in prison.

The Federal Bureau of Prisons ultimately granted Diddy's request.

Rapper Young Bleed shocked the world when he was hospitalized just days after an animated performance at the highly touted Cash Money Verzuz No Limit event at ComplexCon ... we're hearing he's not out of the woods yet, but there are glimmers of hope!!!

The Baton Rouge rapper's baby mama, Tameka Long -- AKA Madamm Meek -- tells TMZ Hip Hop that Bleed has been dealing with health issues -- high blood pressure and a heart condition -- for some time.

Bleed fell ill shortly after the Verzuz, where we witnessed him performing his iconic hit, "How Ya Do Dat," and Tameka tells us doctors confirmed to the family it was indeed a brain aneurysm caused by internal bleeding.

Comedian Alex Thomas was closely associated with Dr. Dre's Aftermath Records uprising at the top of the century ... which led to him landing the role of the sassy gay man who dissed Ja Rule at the end of 50 Cent's "Back Down" track!!!

The song was a crucial moment in 50 and G-Unit winning their rap battle against Ja and Murder Inc. en route to 50's "Get Rich Or Die Tryin'" debut, nearly being certified Diamond!!!

Alex tells "The Art of Dialogue" that after Dre and DJ Pooh hand-picked him to star in the 2001 film "The Wash" -- alongside Snoop Dogg and Eminem -- Dre immediately pulled him aside and tipped him off that some guy named 50 Cent was the next rapper to blow up.

The feds are projecting Sean "Diddy" Combs will be released from custody on May 8, 2028 ... but his attorney thinks he will be a free man even sooner.

We got Marc Agnifilo in New York City on Thursday and our photog asked him about the Bureau of Prisons estimating a release date for Diddy.

Marc, who delivered a stirring closing argument at Diddy's criminal trial this summer, says his feeling is Diddy will walk free before the date provided by the feds ... in part because he thinks Diddy will be a model citizen behind bars.

D'Angelo remained relatively out of the spotlight throughout his 51 years of life ... and The Roots' Questlove, who was an integral part of constructing the late soul singer's catalog, is giving insight on how much of a music purist he really was!!!

In a new interview with Rolling Stone, Questlove lamented over the premonition he felt on Oct. 14 -- the day D'Angelo died -- having spent considerable time with him at the New York-area cancer center he was being treated at weeks before his death.

Questlove labeled D'Angelo one of the "last pure artists in Black music" and recalled the making of their 2000 mega-classic, "Voodoo," which he reveals took 4 years to make.

Nigel Sylvester's on top of the sneaker world after his Nike Air Jordan 4 “Brick by Brick” kicks won Sneaker of the Year at ComplexCon 2025 -- a moment the designer/BMX star says was every bit amazing as it was a relief!

Sylvester chopped it up with TMZ Sports after his big weekend in Las Vegas ... where the 38-year-old talked about his AJ4s' impact on sneaker culture, whether he's bragged about winning, and his plans for the Swoosh going forward.

"When we were watching the [ComplexCon] live stream, and Joe LaPuma was like, 'Nigel Sylvester, Brick by Brick AJ4,' it was just like, man... It was surreal for sure."

Sean Paul is swapping his focus to humanitarian efforts to assist in the ongoing Hurricane Melissa that's currently ravaging his homeland of Jamaica!!!

A rep for Sean tells TMZ ... Sean was on the island and is currently preparing to help those in need through his foundation and a partnership with Food For The Poor Jamaica.

On Thursday, SP took to IG to confirm he'll do everything he can to help feed and shelter people after the storm ... outlining the nature of the damage and stressing how countless families have been displaced.

Drake didn't show much mercy after his Blue Jays took control of the World Series with a big victory on Wednesday night ... as he trolled Shohei Ohtani and the Dodgers with a pair of gloating social media posts.

The "Nice For What" spitter took to his Instagram page just minutes after Toronto beat L.A., 6-1, at Dodger Stadium ... and he bragged about his favorite MLB team going up 3-2 in the championship series.

In one IG Story post, he shared an image of Ohtani in a sweater vest with the caption, "ONE MORE!!!!!!!" In a second, he threw up a snap of Trey Yesavage striking out L.A.'s best player.
