We caught up with the rapper in New York City on Tuesday ... and he told us about the Boosie Network -- the new channel he's starting, which will feature everything Boosie Badazz fans could want and more.

Funkmaster Flex's former coworker is claiming the viral brawl at Madison Square Garden -- during the Knicks-Sixers game -- got personal, with Flex allegedly getting physical with her.

A rep for TT Torrez -- who worked with Flex at HOT 97 before she left last year -- tells TMZ ... "What was meant to be an enjoyable evening out for Mrs. Torrez and her husband became a deeply disturbing and traumatic experience. A verbal exchange between her husband and Funkmaster Flex escalated into a physical confrontation in which Funkmaster Flex shoved her violently."

Jay-Z -- the key decision-maker on who performs each year at the Super Bowl -- has reportedly made his choice for this year's big game, and it's none other than himself!

According to Puck News ... the rap mogul thought about who would take the stage for weeks at the biggest sports event, and then ultimately decided that he would be the perfect pick.

Multiple sources tell the media outlet that Jay choosing Jay was a "more compelling" idea than picking Miley Cyrus and Justin Bieber, both of whom were believed to be frontrunners for Super Bowl LXI. This year's Super Bowl will take place at SoFi Stadium on Feb. 14, 2027.

Despite the report, there has been no official announcement on the Super Bowl. TMZ has reached out to Roc Nation, but no word back. Sources previously told TMZ Jay-Z was considering himself at least a month ago.

10/20 6:00 AM PT -- The good folks over at "The Breakfast Club" are not down with what the "Mornings with Mero" duo is saying about besting their ratings, and they fired back on the air ... pointing out they're actually #1. And, they brought receipts.

Sean "Diddy" Combs' new life at a low-security federal prison in Pennsylvania is nothing to sneeze at ... and if the music mogul thinks he's going to use contraband phones, he'd better think again.

According to FCI Allenwood's rules and regulations ... Diddy better watch his Ps and Qs when it comes to all types of contraband -- because the correctional officers are watching over the inmates like hawks!

And you can forget about the fact that it's a low-security prison ... the guidelines make it clear that "all staff are alert" to contraband and will locate, confiscate, and dispose of all contraband in the institution.

We're told the two men were fighting because Dudus, and many other inmates, are pissed at Diddy for getting exposed in that NBC News report about his luxurious life behind bars. As a result, prison officials have conducted at least 2 raids and confiscated cell phones from inmates ... including Dudus.
