Cardi B looks like she's blasting the Texas jury that found Karmelo Anthony guilty of murdering Austin Metcalf ... saying what happened in the courtroom was straight up disgusting.

The rap superstar went off on social media Tuesday night, hours after the verdict came in, expressing shock over the outcome and adding ... "This is not justice, this is trying to make an example!!!"

While Cardi B never mentioned Karmelo by name ... she retweeted other posts supporting the teenage convict.

Soulja Boy emailed his baby mama's lawyer and told him "f*** you" ... at least according to new court documents.

The docs, obtained by TMZ, include an alleged email Soulja sent to Jackilyn Martinez's legal team ... and it's laced with profanity.

Per the alleged email thread, Jackilyn's team contacted Soulja after he called her to discuss the paternity suit she filed against him.

Her lawyer wrote Soulja, "Based on your conversation with Jackilyn, it sounds like you both want to resolve the [lawsuit] amicably, expeditiously, and privately." The attorney also told Soulja to have his lawyer call her.

According to the docs, the rapper replied, "F*** you" and then added ... "Stop emailing me, you dumb bitch. There will be no litigation or settlement idk who the f*** u think u talking to."

Sean "Diddy" Combs has been hit with a new lawsuit ... this time from a man who claims Diddy sexually assaulted him when he was a minor under the guise of helping his acting career.

In court docs, obtained by TMZ, a man suing as a John Doe said he was already a working child actor when invited to a Hollywood Hills party in 2007 as a networking event ... which is when he says he met Diddy. The man says the rapper invited him to talk in private about career opportunities.

Once alone, according to the docs, the man claims Diddy was rubbing on parts of his body, working his way down before he allegedly performed oral sex on the man while also pleasuring himself. The man claims he told Diddy the situation was making him uncomfortable before the oral sex.

Cardi B says President Trump screwed the New York Knicks' mojo by showing up to Game 3 of the NBA Finals ... killing the overall vibe of Madison Square Garden.

The "WAP" superstar was in the building as the halftime entertainment ... and she says she felt like Trump brought a "dark" energy to MSG.

Cardi chowed down on a SpongeBob SquarePants popsicle as she shared her experience ... comparing Trump's appearance to a principal being at a party, with everyone feeling like they had to be on their best behavior.

Looking for something udderly moo-ving to start your day? Bianca Censori is front and center in Kanye West's latest music video ... and let's just say things get raw.

In his "Gemini Season" music vid, which Bianca also directed, she sits on a stool and milks a cow while rocking one of her signature, barely-there looks ... serving up plenty of cheek before Ye enters the frame and starts pouring on the attention ... literally.

Bianca passes the glass of raw cow's milk to Ye, who starts pouring it in her mouth.

The white fluid overflows and runs down Bianca's chin ... cascading between her boobs and dripping between her legs.

Charles Barkley wasn't exactly breaking down pick-and-roll coverage during Game 3 of the NBA Finals ... because once Cardi B hit the floor for halftime, Chuck's scouting report took a very different turn ... and it was sexual.

Check out the clip ... while Cardi brought the house down at Madison Square Garden, Chuck and the "Inside the NBA" crew seemed just as entertained as the fans in the arena. And let's just say Chuck had a particular observation about Cardi's boobs that immediately sent the desk into hysterics.

As cameras showed Cardi performing, Ernie Johnson joked the crew had been "competing with Cardi B" for viewers' attention. Chuck quickly waved the white flag ... cracking that Cardi's famous nickname might need a slight alphabet upgrade.

Chuck joked ... "I don't know if those B's. They might be Cardi D's. I'm pretty sure those aren't B's. She has the wrong initials."

Jay-Z is keeping fans guessing ahead of his highly anticipated Yankee Stadium shows ... but he couldn't dodge TMZ's questions entirely when we caught up with him in New York City on Monday!

Check out the video ... Hov dropped a couple hints about what's in store for his trio of Yankee Stadium shows coming in July and even weighed in on a question fans might be wondering about -- whether he'll keep the afro, switch to braids or bring back his signature Caesar cut.

But before the conversation could go much further, Jay politely shut things down.

Offset nearly came to blows in Monaco ... going off on a driver he claims put hands on women during a chaotic street confrontation caught on video.

TMZ obtained footage from Offset's heated outburst Monday ... and as you can see, the rapper is visibly furious as he squares up with a chauffer outside a black van, repeatedly calling him a "bitch" and accusing him of grabbing women by the neck.

At one point, Offset is overheard warning the guy that if he touches another woman, he'll beat him up himself.

According to people at the scene, the incident went down around 9:37 AM local time in Monaco ... just one day after the city wrapped up its star-studded Formula 1 Grand Prix weekend.

Sources tell TMZ ... the driver was manhandling women aggressively, pulling their hair and trying to get them out of his car.

DaBaby is finally putting the legal fallout from his infamous bowling alley brawl in the rearview ... 'cause the lawsuit tied to the 2022 fight has been settled.

According to new court documents, obtained by TMZ, a notice of settlement was filed Thursday in the case stemming from DaBaby's altercation with ex DaniLeigh's brother, Brandon Curiel -- who goes by Brandon Bill$ -- at Corbin Bowl in Los Angeles. The filing states the matter will be dismissed within 45 days.

The settlement marks the apparent end of a years-long legal saga that began after Brandon sued DaBaby and the bowling alley over injuries he allegedly suffered during the melee.

Chris Brown is fighting for joint custody of his 4-year-old daughter ... after his baby mama, Diamond Brown, asked the court to only give the singer visitation. 

As TMZ first reported, Diamond asked a Los Angeles court in May to award her legal and physical custody of their kid, Lovely Symphani Brown.

She proposed that Chris only be granted visitation rights.

But, the singer isn’t on board with that and fired back in court docs obtained by TMZ ... demanding joint legal and physical custody. He also said he and Diamond should cover the costs of this legal matter. In her filing, Diamond asked the court to make him cough up the cash.

Now, this isn't something you see every day ... Kanye West and Bianca Censori flashing smiles with Ye looking lovingly at his better half.

The famous couple went out to Ciel Blue, a fancy seafood restaurant in Amsterdam, on Friday night -- and photogs snapped them during their Hallmark Moment.

A blood-soaked Lil Poppa was taken off in a stretcher after shooting himself in his car ... new police bodycam video from his February suicide shows.

TMZ obtained the footage Friday and it shows the law enforcement response to Lil Poppa's
suicide in Georgia ... including the moment cops find him slumped over his his car, with blood all over the interior.

You can see Lil Poppa on a stretcher before paramedics rush him to Grady Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

It's looking like a "Baywatch" girl summer for Megan Thee Stallion ... 'cause she was just spotted showing off her body-ody in a bikini on set!!!

Check out the footage ... the rapper hit the sand in Long Beach in an orange and white bikini paired with a matching sarong ... and it looked like she was feeling herself as she flaunted her rock-solid abs while cameras were rolling.

Her cameo here may involve a musical number too ... 'cause eagle-eyed fans spotted a Megan Thee Stallion stage on set.

Latto says her new song is about Cardi B calling her a "p***y ass" ... but she says her response isn't exactly a diss ... and it sounds like she might be down to mend fences.

Big Mama went on "The Breakfast Club" Thursday and addressed the drama head-on, telling the show's hosts those lyrics in her new song "Gimme Dat" are, in fact, about Cardi.

The rapper says she was caught off-guard when she caught a stray during Cardi's leaked rant about Ice Spice ... because she had just rushed out her verse for the "ErrTime" remix so it would count toward Cardi's first-week album sales.

Latto recalled how a couple days after she tried to help out Cardi, a peer she thought was a friend was all over the internet calling her a "p****."

She was pregnant at the time, and Latto says she put her feelings on wax while her hormones were raging.

As we reported ... on "Gimme Dat," Latto raps ... "Bitch said what? Let’s clock it / Really got a Hermes store in my closet / Talkin’ ‘bout buyin’ big mama a bag like my n**** ain’t already bought it."

Cardi apologized online ... but Latto says they have each other's numbers and have texted before, so she wasn't feeling the way Cardi handled things.

While Latto says she hasn't spoken to Cardi since the “ErrTime” remix was released in September, she says she's open to hashing things out.

Latto says folks think it's a diss because they're just hearing the song now ... but she says she was just rapping about what was going on in her life at the time ... and while it's not a textbook diss track, Cardi still left a bad taste in her mouth.

Safe to say Doja Cat is no fan of Elon Musk... she's ripping him as a "frog," a "bitch" and some other ugly stuff in a scathing social media post.

The singer went totally ballistic on Musk on his very own X platform Wednesday, first demanding the tech mogul bring back the “audio post” feature. Last year, Musk removed the feature, preventing X users from posting stand-alone Voice Notes.

Then Doja got personal, calling Elon a "frog build looking bitch" and a "Barrel chested ewok u look like u eat sand.” Tell us how you really feel.

Milagro "Gramz" Cooper says forcing her to pay Megan Thee Stallion's court judgment now would create a major financial burden ... so she's asking a federal judge to hit pause while she fights the case in a higher court.

According to new court documents obtained by TMZ, Milagro wants to delay payment while she appeals the ruling from the lower court. She argues there are still major issues with the case that should be reviewed.

But her biggest argument with this motion centers on money.
