The "Tweaker" rapper and basketball player has two kids with Nikki Mudarris ... and the reality TV star claims LiAngelo just confessed to cheating on her.

Nikki says ... "I see everyone has been sending me @gelo cheating on me. I want to clear this up and speak my truth. I am just as surprised as you are. We spent 3 1/2 years together, and last week he decided to walk out on his kids and tell me he got someone else pregnant (allegedly) and now is creating a new life with her."

The Super Bowl is nearly here ... and it seems like nearly everyone is gonna be watching ... even some of the most high-profile celebs in the clink.

TMZ has heard from a variety of sources how the Menendez brothers, Suge Knight, Joe Exotic and even Harvey Weinstein plan on enjoying the big game.

A source within the California Department of Corrections tells TMZ ... Erik and Lyle -- along with the rest of their pod -- are planning on making prison-style fajitas and pizza ... meaning using commissary ingredients.

Ice Spice got into the theme of Super Bowl weekend when she set her backfield in motion ... twerking while performing Friday night in NOLA with Travis Scott.

The duo headlined The One Party by Uber ahead of the Super Bowl on Sunday ... Ice was performing her own tracks, as well as "Oh Shhh..." -- her 2024 track that she did with Travis.

During the concert ... which was free for Uber One members ... Ice was recorded asking the crowd how they were doing mid-performance ... needless to say -- they went nuts.

Kourtney Kardashian and Travis Barker made it clear the was going to be some scoring off the field ... after they were snapped making out Friday night at a Super Bowl bash.

The couple was snapped locking lips at FanDuel's Super Bowl Party Powered by Spotify ... both dressed in black -- mouths agape.

TMZ caught up with the daughter of Chiefs owner Clark Hunt on Friday at Shaq's Fun House ... where she told us the family was excited and grateful for another Super Bowl appearance -- and she believes in "Chiefs magic."

But that's not all she believes in ... telling us she is a bit superstitious about the big game -- and is going to do what she did prior to the past couple of victories ... work out and pray.

News spreads fast in the Big Easy ... 'cause Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce grabbed dinner together Friday night -- and their way in was devoid of commotion ... but their exit was insane!

The super-high profile couple was spotted walking into a New Orleans uptown restaurant ... where a few people were clearly tipped off they would be there ... and they made sure to tell TS how much they loved her.

Sure hope that meal was relaxing ... 'cause the duo's exit was anything but ... as word clearly got out they were there -- and a huge hoard showed up, screaming and snapping pics as they left.

DJ Diesel -- aka Shaq -- was once again bringing the house down Friday night .... when he was scratching to a huge crowd for his annual Fun House party before the Super Bowl, which was packed with a who's who of celebs.

The NBA icon held his big bash at Mardi Gras World -- about a mile from Bourbon Street -- where he once again ruled the DJ booth with sick beats, bumping them for the crowd.

Make no mistake ... Shaq's pre-SB gala ain't just about tunes and dancing ... as it's true to the Fun House moniker, with carnival rides, games, tons of circus performers ... and, naturally, drinks!

Bill Maher went on a rant Friday night that started with watching football, but boy ... that turns out to be a metaphor for something way bigger!

This is one of the best editorials the "Real Time" host has delivered in a long time. B.M.'s pissed off at streamers who are carrying football games. It's true ... now, instead of simply hitting a button on the remote to go back and forth between games, now it's a giant pain in the ass. Plus, we still have to watch commercials, so exactly what's the advantage?

Bill says it's an example of what he calls R.I. -- Reverse Improvement. It's like when you go to a restaurant and leave your car with the valet. It used to be so easy, hand him the ticket, pay cash and get your whip.  Now ... well, you know.

Brett Favre says he's down to donate his brain following his death so it can be used for CTE research ... though he tells TMZ Sports he's sure hopeful that's a decision he and his family won't have to make for a LONG time.

Favre infamously dealt with head injuries throughout his 20-year NFL career ... and when we asked him this week if he'd consider giving his cerebrum up to scientists following his passing so it can be studied, he said he wouldn't mind.

Of course, the 55-year-old Hall of Famer told us he'd prefer if that choice came far later than sooner.

Patrick Mahomes is on the verge of winning a fourth Lombardi Trophy in just eight years in the NFL ... and Warren Moon tells TMZ Sports if he can pull it off on Sunday, he would confidently say he dethroned Tom Brady as the G.O.A.T.

The legendary quarterback is down in New Orleans ahead of the Super Bowl ... and he spoke all about the Kansas City Chiefs superstar's stellar run -- all before turning 30 years old.

"For a first seven-year starter for anybody in this league, how can you top this?" Moon said. "How can you top this?"
