Kanye West and Bianca Censori are traveling the world together again ... with fans catching them arriving in South Korea early Saturday morning.

The husband and wife duo landed at Incheon International Airport just outside of Seoul around 6 AM local time ... and, while they were almost certainly exhausted from the overnight flight, Ye stopped to sign a few John Hancocks for fans.

Check out the clip ... West doesn't speak, but he quickly scrawls his name on a few different items before walking off with his better half and their security.

Blueface's features may have taken on a purple glow after he let Ryan Garcia punch him ... because he was having some trouble breathing in a wild new vid.

The boxer livestreamed his hang with the rapper Friday night ... and, just 15 minutes into the stream, the duo engaged in an age-old guy tradition -- one dude punching another as hard as possible.

Blueface asked if Garcia wanted to throw a haymaker at him ... and Garcia accepted -- though BF wore protective gear over his stomach to lessen the blow.

Klay Thompson might be having a slow start to his season, but it's by no means due to his love life -- so says Isaiah Thomas, who tells TMZ Sports the outside noise means nothing to a Hall of Famer like the Mavericks hooper.

Klay's averaging just 11 points on 37% shooting so far in his second season in Dallas ... career lows in both categories.

Some folks think the slump could be due to his high-profile relationship with Megan Thee Stallion (we're looking at you, Jason Williams) ... but I.T. says there's simply no way.

2:04 PM PT -- Tekashi 6ix9ine tells TMZ Hip Hop he isn't worried about his looming 3-month prison sentence come January ... he'll be confined away from the madness and will use the solitary to get in shape!!!

We caught up with 6ix9ine following the judge's verdict and he says the sentence was fair, feeling that the judge got to hear all the facts he and his legal team presented.

Tekashi has to report back on January 6, but suspects he'll be housed in a secure unit because of his "snitch" status!!!

50 Cent reminded everyone he's still a legendary rapper at Miami Art Week -- as the supreme guest at Hublot's 20th anniversary to celebrate 20 years of its Big Bang watch!!!

The star-studded gala sported attendees such as Diplo, Ty Dolla $ign, Swae Lee, Tyriq Withers, Khalid, Leon Bridges, and Sofi Tukker and went down at the Basement at The Miami Beach EDITION.

Mattia Vitale of MEDUZA also performed to close out the night.

DJ Quik's son, David Marvin Blake Jr., has been convicted of second-degree murder, stemming from a 2022 incident that left a man dead in a Los Angeles suburb.

According to the Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office, Blake Jr. was found guilty of one count of second-degree murder and one count of shooting from a motor vehicle.

Prosecutors say he is now facing up to 40 years in prison.

Gunna's sold-out Wun World Tour stop in Miami welcomed a surprise guest appearance last night -- his good buddy Offset!!!

The two ATLiens have blossomed into quite the collaborators as of late, and Offset sent the crowd inside the FPL Solar Amphitheater at Bayfront Park into a frenzy when he popped out onto the stage to complete his and Gunna's "Prada Dem" duet from Gunna's "One of Wun" album that was released last year.

Offset also stuck around to perform he and Gunna's most recent track together, "Different Species" from Offset's "Kiari" album, which dropped back in August to rave reviews -- as well as his own hits, including "Say My Grace" and Migos' magnum opus, "Bad and Boujee."

Stefon Diggs waited until the bye week to celebrate his birthday, but it was well worth it -- his lady, Cardi B, made it unforgettable by twerking and singing for his big bash!!

Cardi and mutual friends had a toast to the New England Patriots wide receiver's 32nd trip around the sun on Thursday in Miami ... days after his actual birthday (November 29th).

While Diggs was enjoying dinner and about to blow out the candles on his cake, Cardi began singing Stevie Wonder's "Happy Birthday" along with the friends in attendance.

Mike Epps has been in show business a long time, and unlike the magnitude of people who haven't, he doesn't think Odell Beckham Jr. was out of pocket explaining how he blew through his $100 million NFL fortune!!!

The Pro Bowl WR recently went on "The Pivot Podcast," admitting how fast his 5-year, $100 million contract vanished without a trace before he even knew the spending was out of control.

We recently caught up with Mike at the StampX event for national signing day, and he tells TMZ that one's lifestyle can easily overlap and eventually OVERPOWER the money if it's flowing in big and fast.

The Game gave TMZ Hip Hop the inside scoop on his controversially titled upcoming track "The Assassination of Candace Owens" and the political pundit is welcoming the rollout with open arms -- unlike when Eminem gave her a shoutout!!!

Candace rewatched our interview on the latest episode of her podcast on Wednesday and accepted Game's reasoning for the shock labeling -- after all, she spent much of the broadcast doubling down on claims that hits were being placed on her life -- all the way from Europe.

Game also told us he wasn't scared of any of Candace's backlash, which humored her but she admitted Game's tracklist was the utmost flattery and asked him to plug her podcast, noting they only have 1 degree of separation -- Kanye West.

POORSTACY had been open about feeling suicidal, telling fans he considered ending his own life because he'd "lost everything" due to a woman ... long before he killed himself in a Florida hotel room in front of his baby mama and toddler.

In a video obtained by TMZ ... the star told fans over stream about a year ago he had to check into a "mental hospital" because he was ready to kill himself over the unidentified lady.

He repeatedly says he's "lost everything" in the clip -- though he adds his new music's all coming from his soul ... turning his pain into art.

Celebs ... they’re just like us -- but only on their off days. Case in point: Doja Cat rolled out looking low-key as hell before popping up fully glammed like it never happened!

Check out these shots of Doja on Wednesday ... leaving her hotel in Sydney, Australia in a red bonnet and a casual crop top, rocking a full-on scowl as she stepped out into the world.

Look, Sydney’s in peak summer mode -- so maybe that scowl was just the sun frying her eyeballs ... or, LBR, she probably did not wanna be caught slipping like that.

Usher and Big Sean are partnering up for a $1 million investment that will guide today's kids of Detroit into the future leaders of tomorrow!!!

On Thursday, the two music megastars announced the Detroit Entertainment Innovation Incubator, which will distribute the $1 million through the Michigan Central Boys & Girls Club of Southeastern Michigan, set to open in February 2026.

It's a powerhouse partnership ... Usher’s New Look Foundation and the Sean Anderson Foundation teamed up with Ilitch Sports + Entertainment and Emory University’s Goizueta Business School to bring it all together.

Kim Kardashian got emotional as she claimed her ex-husband Kanye West accused her of faking her traumatic 2016 Paris robbery on the latest episode of "The Kardashians."

Check out the clip -- the SKIMS founder says the rapper called her out in front of a room full of people, alleging she faked the terrifying incident "for a TV show." She compares the situation to being stabbed with a knife to the heart.

She goes on to explain the disappointment she felt as tears well up in her eyes, noting ... "Just to think that someone wouldn't believe you that's so close to you, that should know you, that should know how much that affected your life ... it just really bothered me."

7:00 PM -- Attorney Joe Tacopina tells TMZ ... "Tyrone Blackburn is truly astonishing -- just when I thought his web of lies couldn’t sink to new lows, he manages to outdo himself yet again.

JT continues to tell us ... "Time after time, he’s been scolded by judges for fabricating cases or fined for falsifying legal matters, so it’s undoubtedly clear that he’s a pathological liar."

Joe ends with ... "It’s only a matter of time before he’s disbarred for making a complete mockery of the legal profession."

More drama in the Fat Joe civil case ... his accuser's attorney, Tyrone Blackburn, is getting called out for blaming a legal mistake on artificial intelligence software.

Here's the deal ... Fat Joe's attorneys filed legal docs claiming Tyrone cited cases that didn't exist in his opening brief, and then Tyrone blamed the mistakes on a LexisNexis AI feature.

Well, seems Tyrone's excuse made its way back to LexisNexis, and now the company is speaking out and pushing back against Tyrone.

POORSTACY's baby mama has been arrested ... with cops alleging drug use in the presence of the couple's young child in the days before the rapper's death ... and we're learning she and the kid were in the room when the musician killed himself.

Nicole Grikstas was arrested Saturday hours after POORSTACY -- real name Carlito Milfort -- took his own life ... with cops booking her on a child neglect without causing great bodily harm charge.

According to a Boca Raton Police affidavit -- which cites an interview conducted with Nicole at the police station hours after the rapper was found dead in a hotel room -- cops say Nicole broke down the events leading up to his death by handgun.
