Tina Knowles battled breast cancer last year -- and says she shudders thinking what could’ve happened if it hadn’t been caught early ... especially since she’d already missed a scheduled mammogram.

Beyoncé’s mom is opening up about the life-changing ordeal in her new book -- "Matriarch: The Memoir" -- to PEOPLE and CBS Mornings, saying she finally rescheduled the mammogram she missed during the COVID pandemic … and that’s when docs found two tumors.

She said one tumor was benign, but the other turned out to be stage 1 breast cancer in her left breast ... admitting she was in total disbelief -- especially since she’s always been on top of her health.

Kanye West and Bianca Censori are social media official again ... because he just posted a photo with her online after an intimate dinner date overseas.

Ye and Bianca look and sound like they're giving their marriage another go ... based on his social media post and some new info we're learning about their recent outing in Spain.

Kanye and Bianca first raised eyebrows Friday night when they were spotted at an Indian fusion restaurant in Mallorca, and folks who work there tell us the pair seemed "nice and happy" while breaking bread.

Tech N9ne is admitting he was so in love with his 7th grade teacher that he refused to rat about their relationship -- even after they almost got sniffed out!!!

The shocking revelation came on Jelly Roll's wife Bunnie XO's "Dumb Blonde" podcast Monday, with the Strange Music boss also highlighting society's double standards on the matter.

Tech recalls the teacher being young and naturally beautiful, and once he showed her a photo of his father in a police uniform, she began flirting with him daily.

Kendrick Lamar's "Not Like Us" producer Mustard may have to craft another diss groove -- he's in an all-out war o' words with Drake's "Gimme a Hug" producer, Gordo!!!

The drama unfolded last week when Mustard unfollowed Gordo on social media, prompting Gordo to take shots of his own ... shaming Mustard for jockeying Kendrick's every move but not feeling any reciprocals.

On Monday, Mustard drew the line in the sand once and for all, telling him to kick rocks while challenging him to a game of "Big Bank Take Lil Bank."

Mozzy is outside feeding the streets -- both musically and literally!!!

The Sacramento-bred, L.A.-embraced rapper just dropped his new album "Intrusive Thoughts" and tells TMZ Hip Hop it's his civil duty to give back to the community that helped raise him.

We got up with Mozzy at Bootleg Kev's What Up Dough Pizza in Burbank on Friday and he broke down the definition of the "pain music" he's being championed for mastering.

Mozzy says his fans recognize real and everyone is familiar because they come from the same struggle ... the hardcore music acts as therapy for them!!!

Cash Money Records original Hot Boy B.G. says he learned about Birdman and Toni Braxton's marriage straight from the source -- that broke the story, not the happy couple exchanging the nuptials!!!

TMZ Hip Hop recently caught up with Chopper City's finest in NYC and quizzed him about the secretive marriage that's been bubbling for roughly 8 months.

B.G. couldn't contain his LOL's but says he was hipped from all the alerts buzzing on the internet.

Kanye West is claiming he and a now-incarcerated male cousin sexually experimented with each other when they were kids -- an experience he's turned into a new song, believing it contributed to both of their dark paths.

Debuting a new grungy song called "COUSINS" on Monday, Ye sings about stumbling upon adult magazines as a kid, noting the mags he found in his late mother Donda's possession were of the homosexual variety.

Ye says he eventually showed the mags to his cousin and they reenacted the male-on-male kissing scenes ... leading Ye to eventually "suck his d!ck" until the age of 14.

Druski is harkening back to his humble beginnings to defend himself against allegations he sexually assaulted a woman at a 2018 Diddy party -- and his measly bank statement is exhibit A.

TMZ Hip Hop obtained phone records and bank statements which squarely place Druski in Georgia, living with his mom, at the time of the alleged incident -- and they also show he was far from balling out enough to be anywhere near the other defendants in the lawsuit.

As we reported, a woman named Ashley Parham filed a lawsuit claiming Diddy, Druski (real name Drew Desbordes) and Odell Beckham Jr. raped her on March 23, 2018, at a party in Northern Cali.

Tekashi 6ix9ine could be landing in a big pot of boiling water if convicted of violating parole ... federal agents say the rainbow-haired rapper flagrantly had drugs and a gun inside his home, but he's claiming he was framed!!!

On Monday, Tekashi apologized in open court for the trouble surrounding the March raid of his Florida home ... an Assistant United States Attorney says a confidential source led them to retrieve MMDA, as well as a bag with cocaine residue, and a Glock handgun stashed inside the pool house.

Tekashi 6ix9ine tells TMZ ... he believes the confidential informant in question could be a former friend who planted the drugs and gun. His lawyer, Lance Lazzaro, tells TMZ he's confident they will be able to resolve the situation in a very favorable manner.

Rob Gronkowski's playing days are behind him, but his body certainly didn't get the memo ... 'cause the future Hall of Famer looked NFL ready while hosting his post-WrestleMania rager!!

The four-time Super Bowl champion held his famous Gronk Beach bash at LIV Beach at Fontainebleau Las Vegas after all the WWE festivities concluded over the weekend ... allowing fans in attendance to keep the night going after John Cena's historic win over Cody Rhodes.

At one point in the shindig, Gronk elected to drop top ... and even though there was a bunch of drinking involved, he was showing off a different kind of six pack.

John Cena just became the first 17-time champion in WWE history after beating Cody Rhodes at WrestleMania 41 ... but he didn't do it alone -- he got a bit of an assist from Travis Scott in the process.

The main event just went down at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas ... with Cena and Rhodes brutalizing each other as the former looked to surpass Ric Flair as the most decorated wrestler in the organization.

Mid-match, La Flame showed up and made a lengthy walk to the ring to help his buddy, Cena ... and played a crucial role by going after the ref when Rhodes tried to secure the win.

Justin Bieber's revealing what music gets him grooving ... his own stuff -- 'cause he was vibing to a couple of his well-known tracks at an invite-only event near Coachella Friday night.

As we told you ... the singer-songwriter attended Friday Nights in the Desert -- a private party in Thermal, California, not far from where Coachella takes place.

While we were told he performed at the event, we've now obtained video of Bieber at the show ... and, though it doesn't appear to be an all-out performance, JB's clearly listening to one of his own tracks, bobbing his head to "What Do You Mean?"

Wiz Khalifa and Snoop Dogg might be hiding eggs on Easter ... but, they might be filling them with something other than chocolate -- a green alternative, so to speak.

The two stars posted to celebrate Sunday's holiday ... the happiest day of a weed smoker's year, 420, not Easter.

Wiz proved he's got a ton of holiday spirit ... smoking two joints at once while head bobbing to some music -- a proven move amateurs shouldn't try at home.

Megan Thee Stallion made a major style statement at Coachella over the weekend, stepping out in a head-turning 'fit ... showing off a jean G-string!!

The rapper posted photos on her Instagram late Saturday showing off her risky outfit to her fans. She donned a triangle-studded bra top paired with low-rise studded jeans, revealing a jean fabric G-string.

A cross chain necklace completed the look, adding a touch of flair to her festival outfit.

MTS stepped out to a post Coachella party with Justin Bieber, Ty Dolla $ign and Don Toliver.

Concealed within this smokey dopey snap is someone who loves to spark up a joint, and he doesn't "care who sees!" This shouldn't be rocket science, but given the following clues, can you guess the unknown celeb?

This rapper gained mainstream fame in 2010, and in 2015 he collab'd with Charlie Puth for the "Furious 7" soundtrack.

When he's not spittin' rhymes, he enjoys hittin' the gym and sharing his workouts (usually in nothin' but compression shorts). Perhaps he and Snoop Dogg are Hollywood's most notable ganja gurus ...

Justin Bieber looks happy out in the desert ... enjoying himself at a star-studded event where he apparently performed a song or two Friday night.

The singer-songwriter hung out at Friday Nights in the Desert -- a private event in Thermal, California, not far from where Coachella takes place ... and, he bounced around the event with a grin.

Bieber was seen hanging out with his pals at the event ... lots of laugher at the party thrown by Tao Group Hospitality, REVOLVE -- who held an exclusive festival in Thermal earlier this month -- and Palm Tree Club.
