Adin Ross was so disgusted by Doechii's Met Gala meltdown that he's resorted to thrashing the "Swamp Princess" on his livestream feed!!!

Doechii faced internet backlash for yelling at her staff at the Met Gala but Adin Ross is so disgusted in her behavior, he's resorted to a brutal thrashing of the "Swamp Princess" on his livestream feed!!!

A commenter triggered Adin into a "Doechii" rant and he went from zero to 60 with the curses, labeling the TDE rapper an "entitled, unintelligent, piece of sh*t" ... and pretty much a talentless hack.

The Godfather of Gangsta Rap is getting a digital makeover through the power of A.I. that'll have him live through infinite generations.

TMZ Hip Hop recently linked with Lil Eazy outside LAX and he spilled the beans on the next chapter of the late Eazy-E's legacy ... an A.I.-packaged biopic film to chronicle both Eazy's life and even a "father-son" style album down the line!!!

Lil Eazy tells us he was skeptical at first, but after spending time with the folks at The Ace Industries, he decided to embrace the world's growing technology.

Snoop Dogg still finds time to hit the studio in between his jam-packed schedule -- evidenced by his new 21-track album and film ... that's arriving Wednesday night!!!

Tha Doggfather told "Access Hollywood"'s Mario Lopez and Kit Hoover on Tuesday that his 21st album, "Iz It Crime?" was titled after being questioned about some of the things "that he has done."

You gotta think he's referencing his decision to perform at the Trump-sanctioned inauguration event that still attracts trolling in his IG comments, as well as some other things.

9:26 AM PT -- Cassie testified the freak-offs "became a job."

She told the jury she had no time to do anything else but have a freak-off and then try to recover. She testified the longest freak-off lasted for four days.

The trial is now taking a break.

9:00 AM PT -- Cassie is testifying about her history with Diddy.

She says he kissed her in a bathroom during her 21st birthday party in 2007 in Las Vegas after she signed with his Bad Boy Records and then they started seeing each other more and more.

Cassie told the jury she would visit Diddy at the Trump Hotel in New York and she would feel nervous and excited when Diddy would invite her to hotels ... thinking they were going to talk about music. Instead, she says he introduced her to oral sex and she "didn't understand it."

She testified she visited Diddy in Miami and when asked what they did together, responded "sexual intercourse." She also told the jury Diddy gave her ecstasy on a boat.

Cassie testified she thought things with Diddy were monogamous, even though at the time he was publicly linked to Kim Porter ... and when asked how Diddy was treating her in the beginning, she said they "had fun."

Cassie Ventura just took the stand and squarely addressed both the beating video and her involvement in freak-offs.

She said the 2016 beating at the hands of Diddy occurred right on the heels of a freak-off. She has not addressed more about the beating ... rather, she began talking about the freak-offs.

Cassie said when the subject of a freak-off -- which she said was the hiring of an escort to have sex with her -- came up, she was "confused, nervous. I wanted to make him happy."

Break out the champagne and crank up "In Da Club" -- 50 Cent is going on an international tour to celebrate his iconic career, and it’s going to be one massive party ... TMZ has learned.

Sources tell TMZ ... the hip hop heavyweight is launching the "Legacy Tour" on June 8, kicking off in Frankfurt, Germany before making stops in major cities like London, Paris, Dublin, Manchester, and Warsaw.

This isn’t just any tour -- it’s a full-blown celebration of 50's iconic rise to global superstardom. We're told fans can expect a fire setlist spanning his entire music empire, from the game-changing "Get Rich or Die Tryin’" to his newer hits from the "Power" universe.

As Cassie Ventura testifies against Diddy at his federal sex trafficking trial, the former couple once upon a time jetted off to Punta Mita, Mexico for the music mogul's 48th birthday -- and they were filmed having some fun under the sun before their relationship imploded.

TMZ obtained never-before-published footage of Diddy and Cassie in November 2017 at a tropical villa on the private Mexican peninsula.

And get this ... the mansion was owned by 'Girls Gone Wild' founder Joe Francis until it burned down in 2021 after playing host to a bunch of other celebs, including the Kardashians, Eva Longoria and Ashton Kutcher.

Back to the Cassie-Diddy footage ... as you can see, the pair are all smiles as Diddy wraps his arms around Cassie's bikini-clad body, shimmying their hips to a Spanish song.

Philadelphia rapper LGP QUA was shot and killed on Sunday, leaving numbness across the hip hop community ... the local MC was actually a peace advocate!!!

Snoop Dogg posted a somber eulogy on Instagram of him and LGP QUA on Monday evening after getting the news, which followed Meek Mill's disgust in his hometown that they would kill such a positive figure on Mother's Day.

Fox29 spoke to law enforcement sources from the scene who say 3 masked men approached LGP QUA in hopes of snatching his gold chains -- and he was shot in the chest as a result of the botched robbery. He later died at a nearby hospital.

Boosie Badazz is letting it be known to his millions of followers that he doesn't agree with the Feds' evidence being thrown at Diddy in his sex trafficking case ... and says Cassie was a willing participant!!!

Ahead of Cassie's testimony on Tuesday, Boosie argued that charges against Diddy should be simply domestic violence, but he firmly believes everything was mutual.

Diddy and Cassie dated for over a decade and Boosie says there's no way she was a victim but more so an enthusiast ... "Im pretty sure she came during those freak offs😏it was a lifestyle ‼️this was consensual she was his girlfriend. Trying to give someone life n prison for this is bulls***!!!"

One of Sean "Diddy" Combs' freak-off videos -- showing himself and Cassie Ventura -- will be played in court, despite the objections of Cassie's attorney.

Prosecutors and Diddy's attorneys went back and forth with Judge Arun Subramanian Tuesday morning about how the video would be played in court.

Cassie and Diddy's defense team don't want the audio or video getting out to the public, so prosecutors proposed it only be played for jurors, who will wear headphones. People seated in the gallery, including reporters, would not be able to see or hear the video.

Cassie’s making her way to court today, about to testify in Diddy’s trial -- the first time they’ll lay eyes on each other since 2018.

The pregnant singer -- who's clearly ready to pop with baby No. 3 -- departed from an NYC residence and kept her face stoic, but she definitely came to slay -- rocking a power camel-colored coat, a brown turtleneck, shades, and boots as she strutted out to the car waiting for her.

Cassie was clearly all business and ready to take the witness stand today. Her attorney, Douglas Wigdor, made that crystal clear when we caught up with him Monday outside the Manhattan federal courthouse where Diddy’s trial is going down.

Kim Kardashian was a combo of business and smiles as she arrived at a Paris courthouse Tuesday to testify against the 10 people accused of tying up and robbing her at gunpoint of more than $10 million worth of jewelry nearly a decade ago.

The reality star rolled up in a black van with her mom, Kris, to the courthouse in the French capital Tuesday afternoon for her big day on the witness stand. After the two stepped out of the vehicle, Kim flashed a grin and waved at supporters gathered outside the building.

For her day in court, Kim was dressed in a black suit jacket with a matching skirt and Alaia sunglasses. She was also rocking plenty of jewelry -- earrings, a large diamond necklace and a huge ring -- which is a middle finger to the people who allegedly stole from her.

Kylie Jenner and Timothee Chalamet were in basketball mode Monday night, showing up at the Knicks-Celtics matchup in NYC — with Kylie's sister, Kendall, in tow.

The trio sat courtside watching the Knicks do battle with the Celtics during Game 4 of the Eastern Conference semifinals series at Madison Square Garden in Manhattan. And what a game it was with the Knicks beating the Celtics 121-113, which made Timothee's night.

During each quarter, the actor - who's also a Knicks superfan — was all about rooting on his team, jumping out of his seat at one point and clapping wildly after a Knicks player sank a basket.

Tory Lanez was hospitalized in critical condition Monday after an angry inmate savagely attacked him with a prison shank, stabbing him over a dozen times all over his body ... with the rapper suffering collapsed lungs.

Tory's team says he was stabbed 14 times ... including 7 times in his back, 4 times in his torso, twice the back of the head and once in the left side of his face.

Both of his lungs collapsed and Tory was placed on a breathing apparatus ... though he is now breathing on his own, according to his camp.

Cardi B and Stefon Diggs looked cute and coupley while making their first official public appearance together amid dating rumors ... strolling up to Monday's Knicks vs. Celtics game at New York City's Madison Square Garden hand in hand.

They looked just as smitten inside the famous venue -- the "Wap" hitmaker at one point placed a hand on her rumored beau's thigh ... and was later photographed sweetly caressing his face.

In another pic, Stefon looked cool and confident with his arm wrapped around Cardi ... possibly confirming what fans have been speculating for months -- that she's all his.

1:40 PM PT -- A rep for the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation confirms to TMZ ... Tory Lanez was attacked by another prisoner in a housing unit at California Correctional Institution (CCI) in Tehachapi around 7:20 this morning.

Prison staff dashed to the scene and began administering first aid to Tory after calling 911. Tory was then rushed to a hospital off prison grounds to receive more treatment. The CDCR spokesperson did not disclose Tory's current condition.

This isn't how Tory Lanez wants to get out of prison, but he is -- after suffering a prison yard stabbing so bad, he needs hospital treatment ... TMZ has learned.

Tory was in the yard of California Correctional Institution at Tehachapi Monday morning when another inmate stabbed him ... according to multiple sources, including one in law enforcement.

It's unclear what the motivation was for the attack, but one source tells us Tory was rushed by ambulance to a nearby civilian hospital in Bakersfield.

Cassie is ready to take the witness stand in Diddy's sex trafficking trial ... and it sounds like it may be happening as soon as Tuesday ... at least based on what her lawyer is telling us.

We got Cassie's attorney Douglas Wigdor outside the federal courthouse where Diddy's trial is going down and he told us she will be testifying "in very short order."

Cassie's name was brought up several times during opening arguments and the first day of witness testimony ... including when prosecutors claimed Diddy made a male sex worker urinate in her mouth during a "freak off" she was forced to attend.
