Snoop Dogg has added yet another illustrious volume to his literary library -- a cookbook dedicated to the world of baking  ... which includes edible delights!!!!

TMZ Hip Hop caught up with Big Snoop at Universal Studios on Wednesday, and he gave us the full course index for "Treats To Eat," the new 55-recipe cookbook that allows bakers the option to seed some weed, where they see fit.

Snoop tells us don't just take his word for it ... the New York Times certified his previous cookbooks as best-sellers, so anyone with an appetite might want to dig on in!!!

Trendsetting rapper Max B is finally a free man after serving 16 years in prison, and the first difference he noticed coming home ... was the price tags!!!

TMZ Hip Hop caught up with the Silver Surfer in the flesh on Wednesday on a brisk NYC day ... but hey, anywhere is cozier than the Northern State Prison he was holed up in for aggravated manslaughter charges.

Max says there's no time to let off the gas -- his bills still gotta get paid and he's certainly been ripping and running since his Nov. 9 release date.

Cardi B just posted the first public pictures of her newborn baby.

The photos, captioned with the date Nov. 4, have also raised speculation she could be engaged because of the huge rock on her finger. TMZ has learned, however, it is NOT an engagement ring.

As you know ... the newborn baby boy marks her first baby NFL star Stefon Diggs.

Boosie Badazz has no shame in his game, admitting even a macho man such as himself can have ED performance issues ... and is calling all his fellow guys liars who can't own up to the same!!!

The Louisiana rap star has been enjoying the last bit of his freedom before his sentencing later this month ... he let loose on Angela Yee's "Lip Service" podcast when asked if he ever has a problem getting his rough rider ready in a time of need.

Boosie bluntly painted the picture that stage fright can strike at any time, but all sexual soldiers should have a backup plan in case of a member malfunction -- approach the poohnanny face forward in the prone position -- just like A SNIPER!!!

Eminem is looking for some respect on his name ... he recently filed to cancel a trademark of an Australian beach brand that's targeting American shores.

The Real Slim Shady has it out for an Aussie company that sells beach umbrellas and swim wear ... a label called Swim Shady. According to documents filed in the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office and obtained by TMZ, Eminem wants to protect the name of his diabolical rap alter-ego and avoid brand confusion.

The filing alleges the "Without Me" rapper would suffer "damage and injury" if Swim Shady is allowed to keep its name. Eminem is concerned the public will associate him with the Swim Shady brand ... and he insists his own merch adheres to "premium quality standards" and doesn't want people to confuse him with the Aussie company's stuff.

Megan Thee Stallion's former manager took the stand in her defamation trial against blogger Milagro Gramz on Wednesday, telling the jury that the rap star's recovery was a pricey one -- costing her 6-figures' worth of therapy sessions!!!

Travis Farris -- AKA T-Farris -- testified that Megan spent $240,000 attending a 4-week therapy session to deal with the emotional distress she says she felt after Gramz made a string of posts ... one of which included a deepfake porn video believed to be real by many online.

Farris detailed in court about how Megan came to him in tears and even apologized for him having to witness the video, sparking her decision to undergo therapy.

D4vd is viewed as a suspect in the death of Celeste Rivas, the teenager who was found decomposing in his Tesla ... law enforcement sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ.

As far as we know, there is no paperwork classifying D4vd as a suspect, but as one of our sources told us ... "Investigators are looking at D4vd as a suspect."

We're also told they're viewing Celeste's death as a homicide, even though the Medical Examiner has yet to determine cause or manner of death -- investigators are still awaiting toxicology results.

Flyysoulja's Florida rental home was in dismal condition for weeks before he was detained by authorities for a mental health evaluation earlier this month ... and he left it full of dog feces, and without electricity, his landlord tells TMZ.

Check out our interview with Andy Zamudio, real estate broker of Equity Real Estate and the Island Boys star's landlord ... he tells us he had given Flyy multiple chances to get his place cleaned up after conducting an inspection in September ... during which he discovered several doors punched in, broken glass everywhere, and even garbage overtaking the garage.

Andy also tells us the Homestead house came fully furnished when Flyy -- real name Alex Venegas -- and his girlfriend, KaylaThayla, moved in in 2024 ... and he noticed during the inspection that the $12,000 couch was missing from the living room, along with some ceiling fans.

8:49 AM PT -- According to the arrest warrant, obtained by TMZ, Girlalala's longtime boyfriend, Shanoyd Whyte, called 911 himself after shooting her inside a car parked in a residential driveway, even flagging down deputies when they arrived.

Deputies say blood was immediately visible in the vehicle, with heavy saturation on the front passenger seat and pooling on the floorboard. Blood droplets were also found on the pavement outside the open door, along with medical debris from first responders.

Inside the car, deputies recovered a holstered handgun behind the front passenger seat. Neighbors reported hearing two gunshots.

The warrant details surveillance footage showing Whyte's vehicle pulling into the driveway moments before the shooting. Both doors briefly opened, then the driver's door reopened, revealing Whyte pulling a gun from his waistband and firing into the passenger seat. A muzzle flash was caught on video. Girlalala was then seen slumped over as Whyte walked around the car with the firearm in hand and pulled her upright by her hair.

Deputies collected two 9mm shell casings and the firearm at the scene.

TikTok star Girlalala was shot and killed over the weekend, and now TMZ has obtained the frantic 911 call following the brutal murder.

In the recording, you can hear a man's voice screaming, "I need help! Please, I need help!" The man then frantically pleads with the dispatcher to "hurry up and get here!" We've learned Girlalala's boyfriend, Shanoyd Whyte Jr., made the call.

According to the Broward County Sheriff's Office in Florida ... Girlalala got into a heated argument with Whyte, which allegedly escalated into violence.

Tekashi 6ix9ine and Antonio Brown were streaming with Adin Ross on Tuesday when a car full of fans rolled up, making for a tense moment, before the controversial rapper used Charlie Kirk's assassination to calm everyone's nerves.

The men were hanging out outside Tekashi's Florida home, streaming, when an SUV pulled up in the dark of night and called out for 6ix9ine.

"What's up, bro?" the rapper responded ... as AB and BenDaDonnn looked on nervously.

Blueface's mother Karlissa got a little gagged when we disclosed just how wide the age gap is between her son and new GF Hazel-E ... but everyone seems to have found common ground now!!!

TMZ Hip Hop caught up with Blueface in Beverly Hills with Karlissa and Hazel-E on each arm, and they tell us things have smoothed out between them in the last 24 hours.

Karlissa was a little taken aback the other day when we explained to her that Hazel was actually 45 years young ... she tells us Blue had told his new boo was in the late-30s range.

N3on took a lie detector test on his YouTube channel that didn't go as well as he'd hoped ... the popular streamer failed when he was asked if he liked Black people.

Flanked by rapper Tekashi 6ix9ine, fellow streamer Adin Ross, former NFL star Antonio Brown and comedian/rapper BenDaDonnn, N3on fielded questions from his buds in front of a stoic polygraph tester in the video posted Tuesday.

Like every lie detector test, it started out simple ... "Are you an Indian?" Adin asked. "Yes," N3on answered, as he is ethnically so. Easy enough ... right?

Tekashi 6ix9ine and Kodiyakredd of the Island Boys are denying rumors swirling around a home invasion at Tekashi's Florida home ... 6ix9ine tells us it wasn't staged, and Kodiyakredd says he's not one of the masked gunmen seen on video.

There's been tons of online speculation about the commotion at Tekashi's home this past weekend -- we first reported the home invasion -- and some folks are convinced Tekashi orchestrated it ... while others think Kodiyakredd was one of the men wearing ski masks.

Tekashi 6ix9ine tells TMZ ... the rumors are completely false.

The Palm Beach County Sheriffs Office tells us miscellaneous items were taken from Tekashi's home but no vehicles were taken.

After her interview Tuesday with Vivica Fox, Sherri Shepherd told TMZ there's clearly still a lot of love between the actress and her ex 50 Cent.

Chatting with us in NYC, she said, "I think they still love each other ... I really do."

It's easy to see why she'd say that about Vivica. During the "Kill Bill: Vol. 1" star's "Sherri" appearance, she dished that she had "fabulous" orgasms with Curtis. So it's safe to say, she remembers him fondly. But what about 50?

Ray J isn't backing down from challenging Mario in a singing battle ... despite his opp not taking the competition too seriously.

We caught up with Ray in NYC mid-morning Tuesday, where he was advocating for a TMZ After Dark and Brunch Tours in the Big Apple -- a move which definitely has a nice ring to it.

After all, Ray has become quite the Hollywood draw with our bus patrons, so an expansion may be on the horizon!!!

Nicki Minaj became the first female rapper to address the United Nations on Tuesday and gave credit where it was due ... to President Donald Trump for setting the stage!!!

The occasion was a bipartisan one ... however, the 'Pinkprint' megastar took on the U.N. invite to confront the situation in Nigeria, where Trump has claimed Christians are being murdered simply for their faith.

Nicki admitted she was nervous at the start of her speech and spoke in a soft, gentle tone throughout her entire speech, but firmly demanded urgent action for the killings.
