Drake is pulling out all the stops for his "goth baddie" Pinkchyu ... flying her to Toronto and taking over an entire castle for their latest date.

A source tells TMZ ... Drake flew Pinkchyu north of the border this past week and rented out Casa Loma -- Toronto's massive, nearly 200,000-square-foot castle -- for the occasion.

We're told the 98-room landmark was shut down except for a server, bartender, and security ... leaving Drake and Pinkchyu to enjoy sushi with the sprawling castle basically to themselves.

Because nothing goes together quite like castles and sushi!!!

Tupac Shakur's alleged killer, Duane "Keffe D" Davis sat for the fourth day of grueling and graphic testimony in his trial.

Keefe -- who is on trial in Las Vegas -- is accused of planning the legendary rapper's murder and allegedly producing the gun used to kill Tupac ... though prosecutors say he wasn't the trigger man that fateful night.

He has pleaded not guilty to all charges against him ... and sources close to him say his past admissions in an interview that he was involved in the slaying are simply empty brags.

The Notorious B.I.G.'s son, Christopher Wallace Jr., claims his grandmother's will was drastically changed weeks before her death ... he thinks something doesn't seem right about it, and is now bringing the matter to court ... TMZ has learned.

Christopher filed court docs saying his grandmother, Voletta Wallace, died in February 2025 and was survived by him and her granddaughter. Her son -- the late rapper Notorious B.I.G. -- was killed back in 1997.

He said his grandma executed a will in 2020 … which divided up her fur collection, jewelry, music awards given to Biggie, a Mercedes-Benz SUV, a property in Jamaica, and various other properties. He says most of the items were bequeathed to Christopher and his sister ... with a few items given to her brother.

The murder trial for alleged Tupac Shakur killer Duane "Keffe D" Davis rolls into its third day Wednesday ... and you can watch the courtroom action right here.

Keffe is accused of planning the legendary rapper's murder and allegedly producing the gun used to kill Tupac ... though prosecutors say he wasn't the trigger man that fateful night.

He has pleaded not guilty to all charges against him.

Suge Knight is calling BS on the Tupac Shakur murder trial ... saying one of the witnesses taking the stand isn't telling the real story.

Suge joined us on "TMZ Live" Wednesday from prison and unloaded on James McDonald, who testified Tuesday in Duane "Keffe D" Davis' murder trial.

Suge flat-out denies McDonald's claim that he worked for Death Row Records.

What's more, Suge claims McDonald is an FBI informant and says he was never his head of security ... arguing there'd be plenty of proof if McDonald really worked for him.

Timbaland is being dragged to court by a DJ who claims he was fired from the Timbaland and Missy Elliott tour shortly before it was scheduled to start ... and the DJ says he believes nepotism is at play.

TMZ obtained the lawsuit filed by DJ E Feezy against Timbaland and his company, Mosley Touring ... and he claims he was fired to clear the way for Timbaland's son to replace him.

The DJ said he was invited in 2024 to perform as a DJ for the Timbaland/Missy Elliott tour scheduled to take place between July 2024 and August 2024.

Australian model Emily Sears is giving the world a peek Down Under -- literally!

The 41-year-old stripped down to her undies -- or rather, a lime green floral-print lingerie set that barely covers her privates.

It's no wonder she's scored magazine features in GQ and Maxim -- and flaunted her show-stopping looks in music videos featuring Kanye West, Jamie Foxx and Erika Jayne.

Suge Knight told us a WILD story about Tupac, and it ends with his ashes being rolled up in a blunt.

Suge, who was with Tupac in Vegas when the rapper was shot, tells TMZ ... immediately after Tupac died, his mom wanted him cremated.

Suge says someone put him in touch with a guy, late in the evening, from some sort of funeral home. He asked the guy to cremate Tupac, but the man said he was busy for the next few days.

A little jet lag wasn't gonna stop Jalen Brunson from pulling up to his friend Fat Joe's star-studded birthday party for the ultimate surprise ... and that's exactly what the N.Y. Knicks star did this weekend!

The NBA champ was in the Los Angeles area since last week, attending teammate Karl-Anthony Towns and Jordyn Woods' wedding in Malibu on Saturday.

But JB wasn't going to let a few thousand miles make him miss his buddy's bday, so he hopped on a plane and flew back east on Sunday ... and by the evening, Jalen was partying it up at Radio Park, atop Radio City Music Hall in Manhattan.

As the Tupac Shakur murder trial was underway Tuesday in Las Vegas, police converged on a nearby Starbucks after getting information about a possible shooting.

The Las Vegas Metro PD responded to a Starbucks in the downtown area on Tuesday afternoon after the dispatch center received calls about gunfire erupting inside a business, TMZ has confirmed.

When officers arrived at the coffee shop, they quickly learned there were no victims.

Tuesday treats are comin' in hot with this unknown rapper sporting a leopard-print bra -- do you think you know who she is?!

Dr. Phil's her claim to fame, but her "Gucci Flip Flops" are sworn by Lil Yachty 😉.

F around and find out, "catch this baddie outside how 'bout that?!"

The murder trial for alleged Tupac Shakur killer Duane "Keffe D" Davis saw its grueling second day ... and it was wild after yesterday's opening arguments, which were 30 years in the making.

As TMZ reported ... Keefe is accused of planning the murder of the legendary rapper and allegedly produced the gun used to kill Tupac ... though prosecutors say he wasn't the trigger man that fateful night.

He has pleaded not guilty to all charges against him.

Kanye West is losing his head over his latest music video -- literally -- and wife Bianca Censori is the one calling the shots.

Ye dropped the bizarre visual for "OK," his track featuring Don Toliver ... and Bianca planted her husband squarely on a morgue table for the occasion.

The video shows Kanye as a headless corpse while a team of doctors operates on his body ... pulling strange objects from inside his torso. The medical crew eventually attempts to reattach Ye's head ... turning the whole thing into one seriously twisted resurrection.

Blueface's chat got a front-row seat to some major family news ... his fourth child is apparently on the way ... and his girlfriend went into labor during his live stream.

The rapper was livestreaming from behind the wheel last night when he called his pregnant girlfriend, Nevaeh Akira, and learned her contractions were coming every two minutes.

Nevaeh told Blueface she was already three centimeters dilated ... prompting him to ask whether she was officially in labor and request confirmation straight from the doctor.

Tupac stuck to street code until the bitter end ... refusing to rat out his murderer to police, while promising his squad would get retribution.

During the first day of Duane "Keffe D" Davis' trial for allegedly murdering Tupac, former Las Vegas Metro Police Department Officer Garry Dale took the stand to answer some questions about his brief encounter with the rapper.

Dale -- who was in the ambulance with Tupac after he was shot on September 7, 1996 -- said he asked Tupac multiple times who shot him ... but the rapper kept his mouth shut.

He said Tupac only responded by saying he and his crew would "take care of it" ... seemingly implying street justice would deal with the shooter.

The murder trial for alleged Tupac Shakur killer Duane "Keffe D" Davis began Monday ... and the much-anticipated opening arguments were 30 years in the making.

The trial's taking place in a Nevada courtroom almost exactly 30 years after Tupac was gunned down near the Las Vegas Strip.

Prosecutors say Keefe planned the murder and produced the gun used to kill Tupac -- though they say he's not the man who fired the fatal shot.

He has pleaded not guilty to all charges against him.
