Rob49's New Orleans slang has spread to the entire country -- the platinum-selling rapper's "WTHELLY" catchphrase has completely engulfed social media!!!

TMZ Hip Hop linked up with Rob this week out in Burbank, CA and he tells us lingo was something he and his friends kicked out around -- and he decided to popularize the phrase over a banging beat!!!

It's carefree nonsense -- the type of stuff TikTok eats up. There's love and some hate but it's got everyone talking -- except for Rob's b-ball hero LeBron James!!!

Rubi Rose had the internet chirping in September when she claimed her relationship with Druski was a PR stunt ... but turns out she was the one spreading fake news!!!

Rubi was the latest guest on Adin Ross' stream, and during the segment to come clean about something, Rubi admitted her relationship with Druski had been legit ... until he pissed her off and she decided to lie about it.

Her apology wasn't anywhere near as loud as the fabrication ... Rubi went on social media to claim Druski had orchestrated the entire thing to boost his rep and later to brag about dumping him as dead weight.

Young Thug's freedom is gonna be short-lived if prosecutors get their way -- they want him locked up again for revealing a witness in a murder case on his social media.

Fulton County prosecutors filed a motion Wednesday asking the judge to revoke Thug's probation for putting law enforcement in danger by reposting a blogger's image of a police investigator who was testifying in a gang-related murder.

According to docs, the judge in that case ordered the media not to show the witness on TV, but the blogger defied that order ... posting a pic of the cop with the caption, "She doesn't want to be shown on screen? Well, here she is."

Rick Ross was legally called out last year for his Car & Bike Show not being wheelchair-accessible -- but he's promising this year's event will have a bunch of accommodations for the disabled community!!!

Attorneys for Darris Straughter -- a fan of Rick's -- are claiming a victory in court this week after Ross agreed to provide round-trip wheelchair-accessible shuttle service for the upcoming car show in Fayetteville, Georgia that will drop guests off at the event's designated handicap parking spots.

Straughter, who is disabled, sued the MMG rap star last August after claiming the wheelchair-accessible shuttle bus he had pre-arranged never showed up ... and the bike show refused to refund his ticket.

Bianca Censori has split from Kanye West and Ye desperately wants her back, at least according to the rapper's new song.

In a new song titled, "BIANCA," Ye's lyrics make it appear his wife left him over his social media rants where he voiced his support for Nazis and Adolf Hitler.

On the track, Ye raps, “My baby she ran away / But first she tried to get me committed / Not going to the hospital ’cause I am not sick I just do not get it.”

2:47 PM PT -- Atlanta Police and the Fulton County Medical Examiner just released Young Scooter's autopsy results, listing his death as an "accident" ... putting to bed the narrative Young Thug pushed that his friend was shot.

Per the ME, Scooter suffered an injury to his right thigh from the wooden fence he jumped during the chase.

The woman who made the 911 call that led to the police altercation that eventually ended rapper Young Scooter's life is stepping forward with her side of the story ... and it's a completely different one than the one she told Atlanta Emergency Services!!!

Demi Blanco, a reality star contestant on the Zeus Network series "Baddies," went live on Instagram Tuesday and claimed she was being treated unfairly by social media users angry over Scooter's death because they didn't know the whole side of the story.

Demi claims she called 911 to "protect herself" ... a total contradiction of the call she made on March 28 when she urged cops to come stop a naked woman from being beaten outside an Atlanta home.

3:48 PM PT -- A spokesperson for LeBron James tells TMZ ... “This is demonstrably false and doesn’t even merit a report or response. A basic internet search shows what LeBron was doing all of April 2015. He was playing basketball for the Cleveland Cavaliers and never in Miami.”

3:43 PM PT -- Brian Bieber, attorney for Brendan Paul tells TMZ ... “Is this an April Fool’s Day joke? If someone seriously filed this lawsuit, the allegations against Brendan are 100% false and literally impossible to have occurred.

Brendan was still in high school in Ohio at the time, having never even set foot in West Palm Beach in his life.  It’s unfortunate that anyone who pays the filing fee and gets directions to the Courthouse can file a frivolous lawsuit. We will be seeking an immediate dismissal of the case, and appropriate sanctions.”

12:06 PM PT -- Jay-Z’s attorney Alex Spiro tells TMZ ... "Mr Carter wasn't in Florida at that time to witness this incident - he was engaged in easily findable public activities that prove he was not at this event. This is more nonsense that erodes the trust in our "justice" system"

11:45 AM PT -- A rep for Gloria and Emilio Estefan tells TMZ ... "Gloria and Emilio Estefan strongly deny the allegations made.  The property in question was never a home where Gloria and Emilio resided, but it was rather a house they owned for family use. There were no parties thrown at that property between 2012 and 2019. We have all necessary documentation to support these facts and will provide it to the court."

A new Diddy accuser claims he was sexually assaulted, raped and humiliated at a "freak-off" party in Miami ... and he says Jay-Z, Beyoncé, LeBron James and Gloria Estefan saw him in rough shape.

Diddy is being sued for human trafficking by a Florida man named Manzaro Joseph , who claims Diddy humiliated him at an April 2015 birthday party for King Combs by strapping a penis to his face and parading him around.

In the lawsuit, obtained by TMZ, Manzaro claims he was drugged and transported to Star Island in Miami for the big party in April 2015 ... he says he was first dragged into the back entrance of Emilio and Gloria Estefan's mansion, where a panicked Gloria saw his "drug-induced stupor" and demanded someone call an ambulance.

Fans suspect parts of Drake's "Nokia" video are ribbing at Kendrick Lamar's Super Bowl performance a lil bit -- and DJ Whoo Kid loves every bit of the spectacle!!!

TMZ Hip Hop caught up with the SiriusXM vet at LAX on Tuesday and he agrees Drake earned his crown as the "Petty Troll King" this week with the first visual from his recent project "$exy $ongs 4 U."

Towards the end of "Nokia," Drake takes center stage on a white platform surrounded by dancers, reminiscent of the imagery on K. Dot's record-breaking halftime show --  Whoo Kid calls it a Bobby Fischer-sized chess move!

Drake's now apparently a Rangers supporter ... but, sorry Corey Seager and Jacob deGrom, it seems like the newfound fandom has little to do with the actual baseball diamond.

Check out a selfie the "God's Plan" artist posted Tuesday afternoon -- it shows he's, indeed, now backing the Rangers ... but take a closer look, it appears he's into them because of a silly misprint on one of their new hats.

The New Era Overlap 5950 collection cap, of course, went viral earlier this year ... when fans noted the way the Rangers' logo was superimposed over the word "Texas" spelled out a Spanish vulgarity for a woman's breasts.

Brooklyn-bred rapper Lola Brooke wasted no time hitting up Nipsey Hussle's Marathon Burger restaurant when she touched down in Los Angeles ... her 4'9" frame can eat a ton of food!!!

TMZ Hip Hop linked up with "Don't Play With It" rapper on Melrose this week as her itty-bitty frame was flushed with the itis ... chicken sandwiches and wings, a shrimp burger and onion rings will do that!!!

We also got the scoop Lola is in town to shoot her a new music video for a new song she's calling "Disgusted" -- which she promises will be pushed out as soon as the video guys edit the thing.

Wendy Williams definitely isn’t alone in her fight to break free from her legal guardianship -- a whole crew of #FreeWendy supporters pulled up outside her assisted living facility to rally behind her.

Among the crowd was Suzanne Bass, Wendy’s former talk show producer, who told TMZ she had just talked to Wendy, and yep, she was in great spirits -- and that much was clear as WW waved to her fans, who toughed out the NYC cold, signs in hand, outside the Coterie Hudson Yards Monday morning.

As you can see, Wendy gave them a proper show from above -- waving from the window, hands pressed against the glass, clearly overwhelmed by all the love.

Cardi B's skincare routine just happens to also be edible -- thanks to Raising Cane's and Ipsy's new "Moisturizing Sauce!!!"

The superstar rapper was given the dubious honor of being the first to sample the new, delicious "cream" on Tuesday ... a familiar salmon-colored salve packed inside a beauty jar.

Cardi gushed as she lathered her face -- and breasts -- with the non-greasy, non-sticky goop she bragged also smelled like chicken.

Young Scooter died last week on his 39th birthday fleeing from cops -- and we now have more insight as to why ... through a very suspicious 911 call.

Today, Atlanta police released the audio that summoned them to William Nye Drive on Friday, where an unnamed woman made several disturbing claims about what she observed outside the residence.

The female caller told cops she witnessed a naked woman being dragged out of the house in a dispute over drugs -- saying the unclothed woman eventually called more men over to shoot the place up.

3:50 PM PT -- President Trump just signed the executive order ... with Kid Rock standing by to offer moral support and further clarification for the cameras about the issue.

Kid Rock was dressed in what some might call an extravagantly patriotic red outfit, with white and blue stars, stripes and some eagle wings, and a bandana-wrapped fedora ... a sharp contrast to Volodomyr Zelensky's muted military 'fit, which VZ was called out for as being insufficiently respectful during his own recent official Oval Office visit.

President Trump is trying to tackle an important issue he raised on the campaign trail ... scalpers and expensive fees driving up ticket prices for live entertainment ... and he's got a new action he says will fix these issues.

Sources at the White House tell TMZ ... Trump is signing a presidential executive order today to end price-gouging by middlemen in the entertainment industry.

We're told Trump's latest EO will combat a bunch of issues folks encounter when trying to buy tickets to popular concerts and sporting events ... remember the headaches for the Taylor Swift "Eras" tour?!?

It's hard to be shocked by anything Kanye West says these days ... but he still made some jaw-dropping statements about his ex Kim Kardashian during his recent interview with DJ Akademiks.

Here's the deal ... the rapper, who wore a black KKK robe with a pointed hood, gave mostly rambling responses to Akademiks during the hour-plus Q&A, which dropped Sunday. At one point, Akademiks asked Ye about Kim and their 4 children -- and things took a stunning turn.

Akademiks pointed out Ye is always griping about his ugly co-parenting situation with Kim, who he accuses of controlling their 4 "Black children" -- North, Saint, Chicago and Psalm.

12:04 PM PT -- Law enforcement sources tell TMZ ... Jayden Dandridge was found shot multiple times in an abandoned building on March 27. The Harris County Institute of Forensic Science ruled his death a homicide. Houston PD detectives have not made any arrests, nor have they disclosed a motive.

Memphis Police are no longer pursuing the suspect they ID'ed on video in the Sauce Walka shooting that also killed rapper Sayso P ... because the guy is no longer alive!!!

Monday morning, Memphis Police announced 21-year-old Jayden Dandridge had been found deceased in Houston, Texas. No further details were released.

We obtained footage last week of Dandridge inside the stolen 2021 Dodge Charger 392 Scat Pack that was used in the murder.
