Adam22 said his wife Lena The Plug "went over the line" when she threw her wedding ring in front of Drake ... but admits he isn't holding it against her.

We got the podcaster in Los Angeles on Monday, and our photog asked about Lena's appearance on the 20-vs-1 dating stream … where the porn star took off her wedding ring and hugged Drake tight, then presented him with a Hall Pass signed by Adam22 himself. 

Adam22 said Lena warned him of a couple of things before the show … including the permission slip … but said he did feel "something" when she tossed the ring. 

Blueface and Chrisean Rock were pulled over by police in California over the weekend because of equipment violations, TMZ has learned.

A rep for the San Diego PD tells us ... officers made the traffic stop on a vehicle carrying Blueface, Chrisean and their young son, Chrisean Jr., as they were apparently livestreaming Saturday night. Blueface and the others had just left Blu Temple/Blu Cabana after the rapper had performed at the venue.

Cops said officers learned that someone in the vehicle was on probation, which, as part of the conditions of the court, required police to search the SUV for contraband. It's unclear who was on probation inside the vehicle.

With jury selection underway in Tupac Shakur's murder trial, Reggie Wright Jr. is hopeful that the truth will finally come out.

We got Death Row Records' former head of security to sit down with us ... and he's hoping the prosecution will get some answers, especially after Duane "Keefe D" Davis has been pointing the finger at him.

Keefe D -- who's on trial for Tupac's murder -- has been tried to pin the rapper's death on Reggie, claiming he's the one who orchestrated the hit.

Blueface and Chrisean Rock were allegedly pulled over by San Diego Police following the rapper’s show Saturday night ... and the tense encounter was all captured on his livestream.

According to what appeared to unfold on the livestream, Blueface, Chrisean and others were stopped by members of the San Diego Police Department shortly after his performance at Blu Temple/Blu Cabana.

Cops are seen asking the rapper and members of his camera crew to exit the vehicle. Video from the livestream appeared to show Blueface and others temporarily placed in handcuffs, while Chrisean held her young son, Chrisean Jr., whom Blueface has repeatedly denied being the biological father of.

Chris Brown is fighting his former housekeeper's efforts to redirect his profits from his tour with Usher into her pockets ... as she tries to collect on her nearly $13 million judgment from a lawsuit Chris lost.

The singer filed court docs, obtained by TMZ, objecting to Maria Avila's moves in court to have all of his present and future income assigned to her -- including his tour money and royalties -- until the 8-figure debt is satisfied.

As we reported ... Maria was awarded the massive judgment after her lawsuit against Chris over a 2020 dog attack at his Los Angeles mansion. She claimed the dog viciously attacked her and caused severe injuries.

Cam'ron's not playing around with a member of Cardi B's team anymore ... demanding money he feels he's owed from a studio session ... and using alleged NSFW messages as leverage.

Here's the deal ... Cam'ron hopped on the Revolt show, "Talk With Flee," earlier this week in a show recapping the first season ... and he ripped into Cardi B's team for an unreleased track and verse on a remake of his song "What Means the World to You."

Basically, Cam'ron says Cardi wanted his help with the remake, which he agreed to give in exchange for an interview ... but the song was never released -- and the interview never happened.

Cam'ron says he felt stiffed by Cardi's team and went back to them asking for either the interview or cold hard cash for his time and effort ... but he says he never got the reciprocity he was looking for ... and now he's making demands.

"Teen Mom" star Rachel Beaver is speaking out about her alleged texts with Lil Wayne ... saying she's just a single mom trying to cash in on some free trips.

Rachel tells us she had to do a double-take when she saw rapper Lil Wayne had responded to her drunken outreach ... adding she'd like to debunk any claims that she's a gold digger or "begging for a flight."

She says Wayne's millionaire status made taking him up on a free flight to come see him a no-brainer ... "I don't care if you're Lil Wayne or Joe on the corner ... you're paying for my flight ... that's how I roll, and that's just how it works."

"If you wanted to," you could untie the bikini babe in question.

Here are your clues:

She's rockin' yellow, and her breakout song was also yellow.

"Love & Hip-Hop: New York" was her entrance into superstardom ... and today she performs internationally.

Tory Lanez and his wife are no longer getting divorced ... 'cause her case has been dismissed as he remains behind bars.

According to court documents obtained by TMZ, a judge in Los Angeles dismissed the divorce case, noting there was a lack of movement in the case to bring it closer to a final judgment since it was first filed.

We told you all about it -- Raina Chassagne filed for divorce in June 2024 after almost a year of marriage, citing irreconcilable differences as her reason for the split.

Ne-Yo's dog viciously attacked a woman who was just trying to drop off a package ... at least according to a new lawsuit.

The woman, Dominique Bridgett is suing Ne-Yo over an incident she claims took place on or about July 12, 2025 in Georgia.

Dominique says she was lawfully delivering a package to Ne-Yo's residence when a dog on the property attacked her, causing serious injuries.

Lauryn Hill joined Wyclef Jean for a Fugees' album anniversary celebration ... and thousands turned out to get a peek at the superstar.

Lauryn and Wyclef gave fans a thrill at Piccadilly Circus ... taking snaps and signing albums to celebrate the release of their iconic album "The Score."

It's all part of the promotional run for a full-album performance Friday at the Diaspora Calling! festival.

Lauryn gave major props to acclaimed Los Angeles artist Lauren Halsey ... who was commissioned to paint a mural for the celebration.

Drake turned ladies' night into payday ... dropping more than $1 million on women at his annual Strong Women, Stronger Drinks bash.

Drizzy hosted the third annual event Tuesday night at Toronto's Casa Loma ... where reports say 10 women each scored $50,000, while six others received $100K apiece.

Videos from the party are wild ... one woman looks stunned as Drake personally surprises her with $50K, while another clip shows off the night's luxury rides -- including G-wagons and BMWs.

A$AP Rocky thinks it's really weird Drake's still seemingly hung up on Rihanna ... and he feels it's about time everyone just moves on with their lives.

The rapper ripped Drake during an interview on "The Jason Lee Show" ... saying it's weird that he and Rihanna have moved on but Drake -- with whom RiRi had an on-again, off-again relationship from 2009 to 2016 -- is "still strung up on that s***. It's bugged out to me."

Rocky says it's especially intense because of smear campaigns on the internet ... with fans running with their own narratives and then popping off from behind their keyboards.

Sean "Diddy" Combs is lucky he's a wealthy music mogul ... 'cause TMZ has learned he coughed up somewhere between 7 to $8 million to his high-powered lawyers over the course of his nearly two year federal criminal case

Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ ... Diddy has paid the massive legal tab to his team of trial and appellate attorneys -- namely Marc Agnifilo, Teny Geragos, Brian Steel, Nicole Westmoreland and others -- dating back to his arrest in NYC in September 2024.

For most people, that would be a staggering amount of money to shell out ... but Diddy isn't most people, and he reportedly has hundreds of millions in the bank.

Here's Rihanna just twerk, twerk, twerk, twerk, twerking all over A$AP Rocky while partying in her home country of Barbados!

The Grammy winner bent over and got low as she moved up on her man as they celebrated at what appeared to be a nightclub Tuesday night ... A$AP didn't hesitate to join in for some naughty moves, giving RiRi exactly what she was looking for.

It was all fun and games ... Rihanna -- in a colorful dress -- grinned from ear to ear after she threw it back on A$AP.

Lil Wayne looks like he may have been making plans to meet up with former "Teen Mom: Young + Pregnant" star Rachel Beaver ... at least according to a series of messages and text conversations we're told he exchanged with her.

In the alleged texts, obtained by TMZ, it appears things started with Rachel -- who is currently 23 -- sliding into Wayne's DMs on November 13 ... writing, "Fly me out I won't say anything like the last one."

It looks like Wayne then asked for her phone number before the conversation moved to text.

The alleged texts show Rachel suggesting they wait to meet up until after Christmas because she'd need time to line up a babysitter for her children. Then, on January 3 around 5 AM, it appears Wayne reignited the conversation with a simple message -- "want u."
