Beyoncé's unreleased music was stolen from a Jeep in Atlanta, and now police are investigating.

The Atlanta Police Department says on July 8, officers were dispatched to Krog Street Market after a caller reported a theft from a motor vehicle.

Police say when they arrived, two men -- Beyoncé's choreographer Christopher Grant and dancer Diandre Blue -- told them they parked their black Jeep Wagoneer rental in the parking deck and went to the market for an hour ... and when they returned, the trunk window had been damaged and two suitcases were missing.

Cardi B went above and beyond to give her eldest child, Kulture, a deliciously magical birthday experience at Disney World and a party cake that exploded all 5 senses!!!

Chef and celebrity cake designer Kristina Lavallee, founder of The Cake Girl, tells TMZ Hip Hop that Cardi sought her company out personally based on a referral from another celebrity.

Team Cake Girl turned the order around in 24 hours last Friday in Orlando, Florida -- just in the nick of time for all those kiddie sweet teeth!!!

Drake made sure his 3-day Wireless Fest gig had him living up to his alleged "Iceman" album title -- with a jaw-dropping diamond-encrusted chain ... which happens to be inspired by Cogsworth Clock from Disney's "Beauty and the Beast"!!!

The dazzling piece is no fairy tale ... illustrious jeweler Alex Moss carved Drake's latest bit of bling, packing on 18 karats of rose, yellow and white gold and combining black diamonds and Burmese rubies to make up Cogsworth's mouth!!!

Alex says the piece is a direct complement to Virgil Abloh's own "Beauty and the Beast" Lumière pendant.

Kid Cudi recently got married and dedicated a chunk of his wedding decor to the late designer ... Abloh's presence is still very much felt in hip hop culture.

The white diamonds -- all 154.39 carats of them -- are pavé set across the face, and there's also a 1-carat heart-shaped diamond placed in the hand of the clock.

Alex's signature logo clasp connects the Hermes chain, which is an additional 18 karats of rose gold, and 88.26 carats more of pavé set, VVS, Color D-F white diamonds.

Drake basked in the ultimate crew love from the Wireless crowd ... after they led a "F*** Kendrick Lamar" chant, much to the delight of his drinking buddies.

Megan Thee Stallion and Klay Thompson recently hard-launched their romance, and the love language is already speaking in gifts ... in the form of several Labubu dolls!!!

The superstar rapper posted a 6-minute TikTok video (which she's since strangely deleted) of her unboxing the coveted toys of the moment ... gushing with each new discovery, and admitting "blue" was their fav color as a couple!!!

Klay never shows his face -- and he even gets shushed by Meg when he starts to mumble in the background -- but she ends the TikTok thanking her boo for the Labubus, and refers to him as "baby" a lot.

LiAngelo Ball's soon-to-be ex-wife, Rashida Nicole, claims the hooper/rapper's former partner is trying to make her life a living hell amid her pregnancy ... unloading on the woman in a scathing social media post.

Nicole shared the note on her Instagram Story late Sunday night ... saying she tried to stay quiet to focus on her baby on the way, but she can no longer take it.

"I am sooo tired of this bish keep talking about me," Nicole wrote. "So let's talk about it!!! It's giving obsessed!"

3:16 PM PT -- Ted Anastasiou, a legal rep for Trey Songz, says his client is actually the victim, telling TMZ Hip Hop ... "The media is unfairly turning an unfinished story into clickbait to sell a new headline. That’s lazy and unfair.

"What happened at The Ivy was the result of increasingly aggressive paparazzi invading an artist’s personal space, conduct that puts everyone at risk and a trend that’s impacting not just Trey but artists everywhere. Trey disputes the characterization of events, is cooperating fully with authorities, and looks forward to the facts, not speculation, speaking for themselves."

Trey Songz is being accused of pummeling a cameraman who just got out of the hospital with serious injuries, and police are now investigating.

Isaa Mansoor tells TMZ Hip Hip he went to the Ivy in Huntington, NY, early Sunday morning to shoot video for the owner. Mansoor says he witnessed Trey arrive with an entourage.

Isaa says the owner told him to shoot the event as Trey performed and circulated. Isaa says Trey was aware the owner had asked photogs to get video.

Vegas got a whole lot icier this weekend when Saweetie stormed into the strip club and turned it into her own personal snow globe of chaos and cash.

The "Icy Girl" rolled into Crazy Horse 3, grabbed $10,000 in singles and sent the club into chaos, rushing the stage, twerking, tossing stacks of ones, and partying with strippers and friends like it was her own personal afterparty.

Gorgeous entertainers danced to her biggest hits while Saweetie hyped the crowd and kept the energy high well into the morning. But just when you thought the night couldn’t get any crazier -- Travis Scott showed up.

Drake isn't forgiving or forgetting when it comes to his beef with Kendrick Lamar ... encouraging fans to keep on dissing his rap adversary while they chanted an NSFW phrase about him.

The rapper took the stage at Rockstar Energy's Wireless Festival in London Saturday ... rocking Finsbury Park -- and, his fans showed their love by screaming out "F*** Kendrick."

Drake basks in the glow of the roast for a moment before telling Chubbs, who's Drake's head of security and is waiting in the wings, "Grab me a shot. I'll drink to that."

Justin Bieber's chugging a giant pint of irony -- after raging out at paparazzi, he's now paying them to create content for new album, "SWAG" ... TMZ has learned.

It's a pretty stunning plot twist ... the singer-songwriter made a deal with a photo agency to use the audio from a video shot last month, where he lashed out at the paparazzi for shooting him as he left a restaurant.

We're told Bieber's camp made the photo agency sign an NDA ... so, their representatives aren't allowed to discuss terms of the deal, such as how much JB paid.

Young Noble's former manager Steve Lobel is confirming the Outlawz rapper was indeed "the strong friend" following his suicide ... and says the time for artists to have solid mental health coverage is NOW!!!

TMZ Hip Hop caught up with Steve, the man who's managed everyone from Bone Thugs-n-Harmony to Scott Storch to Outlawz, and had a chat about Noble's creative genius and his caring nature.

Steve says it took a couple days to complete his heartfelt eulogy on IG and shared a bunch of never-before-seen pics to hammer home the eulogy and raise awareness for the family's GoFundMe.

Ja Rule isn't predicting LiAngelo Ball's swag swerve and bend that corner over a pesky little thing like divorce ... Gelo's a rapper and rappers have options!!!

TMZ Hip Hop linked up with Mr. Holla Holla himself -- the perfect candidate for the marital pop quiz.

Like Gelo, Rule made his money through Def Jam Records, where he and the late, great Irv Gotti sold millions of records through the Murder Inc. joint deal -- not to mention he's a marriage vet ... he and his lady Aisha have been married for 24 years!!!

Armon Wiggins -- the man who slipped into the public eye outside Diddy's trial by pouring baby oil over his body when the verdict was read -- is having regrets, now that his viral joke angered so many people on both sides of the case!!!

TMZ Hip Hop caught up with Armon, a popular social media personality, about his recent oil spill that matted and ruffled the feathers of many.

Armon explains he had an ongoing running gag during the trial where he clamored for
"more oil" ... a demand we discovered Diddy bellowed at his escorts during freak-offs with Cassie and Jane Doe.

The person accusing Diddy of tossing a semen-soaked Notorious B.I.G. shirt on him is also claiming Puff had a notable accomplice acting as a henchman during a separate sexual assault -- Biggie's son, CJ Wallace!!!

According to the complaint filed during the 4th of July holiday, John Doe claims Biggie's son was among a group of men who lured him to a Revolt TV location in 2020 via a Combs Corporations' vehicle ... where he says he was then ambushed and led to another room where Diddy was waiting.

As John Doe's head was held by others, he claims Diddy attempted to stuff his penis into his mouth, all the while screaming at him that his days working for Bad Boy were over as punishment for clashing earlier.

2:08 PM PT -- A rep for Coco tells TMZ ... "After an amazing season and a sold out tour, Donovan Mitchell and Coco Jones took a moment to recharge on vacation which turned it into a beautiful engagement."

"The couple has been dating for two years and look forward to building a life together."

Donovan Mitchell just took things to the next level with Coco Jones -- the NBA star popped the question ... and she said YES!!

The Cleveland Cavaliers guard shared the amazing news with his 3+ million Instagram followers on Friday ... with a photo of him kissing the R&B sensation in front of a beautiful sunset.

He also posted a video of his proposal near the beach ... showing him getting on one knee.

Kid Cudi got married more than a month after taking the stand in Diddy's federal trial ... the Man on the Moon is now hitched to his longtime GF, Lola Abecassis Sartore, at a lavish ceremony in Lola's South of France hometown!!!

The ceremony took place on June 28 at the Hôtel Cap-Estel, 7 years after they first met at Virgil Abloh's debut Louis Vuitton show.

The newlyweds reportedly honored the late Abloh with a bounce castle, and Cudi had Saint Laurent fashion their weekend wardrobe, and celeb jeweler Ben Baller banged out their wedding bands, signifying their love through platinum with a mix of rose gold for Cudi and gold for Lola.

Jack Harlow's been relatively quiet since collaborating with Doja Cat earlier this year, but his Generation Now label boss Leighton "Lake" Morrison is telling us great things come for those who wait ... till the top of next year!!!

TMZ Hip Hop caught up with Lake on Thursday at LAX and he promised Jack's new album would arrive either at the tail end of 2025 or top of the next year.

We also got Lake to give us his A&R expertise on the effectiveness of Drake's new "comeback" track, “What Did I Miss?” ... which intentionally teases the elephant in the room that's still clocking his beef with Kendrick Lamar.
