Sabrina Carpenter brought Geena Davis and Terry Crews to Coachella ... but, the biggest collab of the day might've been Fakemink with former First Son Hunter Biden!

The England native grabbed a pic with President Joe Biden's second child ... while holding what appears to be a joint in his left hand.

Fakemink threw up a peace sign while Biden slung his right arm over the rapper's shoulder and flashed a toothy grin for the camera.

Coachella Weekend 2 gets a bad rap ... with some thinking it's not as exciting as the first entry -- but, Sabrina Carpenter and French Montana certainly did their best to change that narrative on the first night of the final weekend.

Tons of fans flocked to Coachella Valley for the second weekend of SoCal's biggest music festival ... and they got a slightly different -- but still lit -- experience than the previous group got.

First off, Carpenter -- who, as we told you, rocked the stage with Madonna -- brought even more star power with her for her headlining show ... swapping out cameos of Susan Sarandon and Will Ferrell for Geena Davis and Terry Crews.

Ice Spice may have just pounded down a fan like she was a patty from McDonald's ... but she's seemingly not too worried about the shocking smackdown -- even joking about it by bringing Wendy's into the drama!

The "Big Guy" hitmaker hopped on X Friday night and responded to the security footage TMZ obtained, showing her early Wednesday morning fight at a McDonald's eatery with a simple "this wouldn’t happen at Wendy’s." Looks like we know where to find her from now on!

TMZ has learned Spice called out Wendy's for a reason ... sources tell us Spice was in L.A. to shoot a commercial for Wendy’s!

Offset was just slapped with a federal lawsuit by a music producer who claims the rapper used his song on his solo album without first getting a deal in place ... TMZ has learned.

According to court docs, obtained by TMZ, music producer Chase Dalton Rose aka ChaseTheMoney claimed Offset used his song “Worth It” on his second solo album, Set It Off, without an agreement in place with him.

The producer admits he worked on the song with Offset that would have allowed the rapper to record vocals over one of his songs, but said no agreement over compensation and transfer of rights was ever executed. He wants a full accounting and an order forcing Offset to fork over some of the money he made on the song.

Back in March 2025, Offset sued ChaseTheMoney, over the drama in federal court seeking a declaration from the court that Offset fulfilled his end of the deal with the producer.

Tory Lanez is suing over a prison stabbing that put him in the hospital ... and he's seeking a whopping $100 million in damages.

The rapper just filed suit against the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation, plus the warden and 50 corrections officers at California Correctional Institution (CCI) in Tehachapi, where he was stabbed.

In the docs, obtained by TMZ, Tory says he was stabbed 16 times by a fellow inmate wielding a shank in May 2025 and suffered permanent scarring to his face and two collapsed lungs.

Ice Spice has more beef with one fan than the "Deli" she raps about ... throwing down with the woman in a Hollywood McDonald's, and the wild confrontation is all on video.

We've obtained security footage from the fast food joint shot early Wednesday morning ... which shows Spice sitting in a booth with a pal and chatting away.

A young woman jogs up to the table and starts talking to the pair ... seemingly trying to get Spice's friend to slide over so she can sit with the duo.

Spice and her friend aren't into it ... and the rapper seems to point to the door to send her on her way. The fan doesn't take kindly to this -- and hits Ice Spice.

Diddy is doing OK in the slammer ... at least according to his son.

TMZ just got King Combs out in L.A. ... and he told us the disgraced music mogul was holding up just fine at Federal Correctional Institution Fort Dix in New Jersey -- and KC thanked fans for their support.

See for yourself ... we chopped it up with Diddy's son -- ironically with a police siren in the background -- and he made it clear ... he thinks it's time to "free pops."

We've got another Slim Shady grandbaby! Eminem's daughter Alaina Marie Scott welcomed her first baby this week, making Marshall Mathers a grandfather ... again!

She took to Instagram to announce that she and her husband, Matt Moeller, welcomed Scottie Marie on Tuesday ... saying their bundle of joy is "everything and more."

Alaina wrote that she named her baby after her "Scott sisters" -- Hailie Jade and Stevie Laine -- because they're "the women who have given the name and my life so much meaning."

One thing about Sexyy Red -- she rolls deep ... and her squad showed all the way up to celebrate her 28th at Coachella Valley!

Peep the clip from the bash thrown by Memehouse and Capaholics Thursday night -- the turnout was stacked, with Swae Lee, Ty Dolla $ign, Kyle Massey, DDG, Deshae Frost, and more all pulling up.

And yeah ... it was exactly the kind of chaos you’d expect -- bling flashing, cash flying, and Sexyy front and center eating up every second.

Mayor Zohran Mamdani's rap career is all about the Benjamins ... about 16 of them -- because that's approximately what he made from royalties on his music last year.

The NYC mayor's tax filings are obviously public record ... and, he reported $1,643 in music royalties he made from songs he released as "Young Cardamom," which he called himself back in the day.

This is $376 more than he made from his music in 2024 ... almost certainly helped by his campaign for mayor -- though he probably shouldn't quit his day job to go after artistic pursuits again.

Kim Kardashian and her mom, Kris Jenner, demanded Ray J pay them $7 million for breaching their secret 2023 deal over the infamous sex tape ... TMZ has learned.

TMZ obtained the legal letter, dated October 3, 2025, from Kim and Kris’ legal team to Ray J.

The letter claimed Ray J violated the deal, which had a non-disclosure clause provision barring the parties from talking about the sex tape or making false claims. But the docs don't stop there ...

Clavicular was back in action Wednesday night at the grand opening of Miami Beach’s first streaming nightclub, Bacara Club, and helped tear off the roof with rapper Blueface.

TMZ obtained video of Blueface commanding the stage at the Florida club as he bobbed his head to Fun's "We Are Young" with a group while up on stage. Clav is right there with him, taking in all the vibes from the crowd ... nodding his head and singing along.

BTW, Clavicular is a major Blueface fan ... the streamer had Blueface on his stream about a month ago and rapped his "Respect My Cryppin'" word-for-word.

TMZ obtained the scathing letter Brittni wrote to Future’s legal team on April 7, 2026, which was included as an exhibit in the case. She denied Future’s claims she'd blocked his access to his son, insisting she has "not blocked access in any way, shape or form.”

Brittni claimed Future has “not seen his son in over sixteen months, has not called him, and has not meaningfully inquired” about Prince’s school, grades, medical needs, or overall well-being.

4/18 -- 8:38 AM PT -- Layla tells TMZ ... "Future has been present since our son’s birth and has consistently been involved and provided for him."

She added ... "This matter has since been resolved, and we are in a positive place, focused on co-parenting and what is best for our son. We respectfully ask that the media report responsibly and refrain from spreading misinformation."

Future is fighting his ex, Layla, in court after she brought a paternity suit seeking child support against the rapper, claiming he's the father of her 9-year-old son.

According to court docs obtained by TMZ, Layla filed the action against Future in a Florida court seeking to establish paternity and an order requiring him to pay child support.

According to court docs obtained by TMZ, Ice Spice is calling out the wig company Thee Bella Brand for dragging her to court over the contractual dispute. Ice Spice says the company has been “overly dramatic” and claims they are attempting to put “public pressure” on her.

In 2025, the company Thee Bella Brand sued Ice Spice over 25 custom-made wigs, claiming she agreed to purchase them for around $20K but never paid up for the goods.
