Offset's got a love-hate relationship with casinos ... he got shot at one and got into a shouting match at another ... but he leaned into all the drama for a new music video.
We got the rapper at LAX on Thursday, and we asked him about his new music vid with Don Toliver ... they collabed on his upcoming album, "GMFU," and filmed inside a casino.
OFFSET & DON TOLIVER
EVERY NIGHT

Kid Cudi has come a long way from his public fallout with Kanye West ... he couldn't stop praising the rapper after his Yeezy Season 01 runway show.
We got Kid Cudi after Wednesday night's event in Los Angeles ... and with a cigarette dangling from his mouth and fans swarming him for photos and autographs, he made time to sing Ye's praises.
Asked about his favorite part of the show, Cudi didn't hesitate ... telling us, "Oh, everything," before explaining he'd been waiting for another Yeezy show.
Diddy's daughter Love is sharing a very special birthday message to her father as he serves his prison sentence ... asking him, "When are you going to come visit me?"
The 4-year-old's Instagram account posted her message ... with Love saying, "Hey, daddy! It's me, Love! I want to wish you a happy birthday!"
Love tells her father she misses him "so much" ... and she asks Diddy how old he is turning and what he ate today.
The rapper's daughter finished her message by singing a giggly version of "Happy Birthday" to the incarcerated music mogul ... and sharing a painting she made for her dad.
Kanye West turned his latest Yeezy fashion show into family business ... bringing out wife Bianca Censori, all four of his kids, and a star-studded crowd for a night of fashion in Los Angeles.
The "Family Business" rapper was front and center for the Yeezy Season 01 runway show at the new Yeezy Flagship Droam 1 location in Los Angeles ... rocking an all-black leather look with a massive gold belt buckle.
Bianca made sure to turn heads, too ... sporting a plunging outfit that left little to the imagination, while Ye's daughter North West stood out with bright turquoise hair.
Nicki Minaj is still fully in President Trump's corner after his Republican Party got trounced in the midterms ... and the rapper is letting the world know how she really feels!
Nicki hopped on X Wednesday night and posted a list of 13 items in support of Trump and the GOP ... and she still found some positives for Republicans despite losing big at the polls.
She kicked things off by saying "Trump is STILL your PRESIDENT," followed by "The QUEEN is STILL your OBSESSION," referring to herself, of course.
Nicki Minaj's lawyers say they're tired of repping the rapper in one of her lawsuits … and they are asking the judge to let them bow out of the case ... TMZ has learned.
According to new legal docs obtained by TMZ, the law firm Kurzman Eisenberg Corbin & Lever wants permission to withdraw from representing Nicki and her Pink Friday Productions company in the lawsuit filed against them by 24/7 Productions.
The suit claims Nicki and Pink Friday Productions failed to reimburse over $200K in expenses 24/7 says they incurred in connection with her "Pink Friday 2" album.
Sukihana -- aka Coochie Girl -- "lost her virginity" just weeks after welcoming her baby girl ... and it all happened when she decided to host our new TMZ All Access Bus.
The rapper grabbed the mic and belted out some of her biggest hits to 20 lucky fans, including "Hood Rats" and her latest track, "Whopper," giving passengers an electrifying concert on wheels alongside one of our most cherished DJs, DJ Nylaa Baybee. She also hosted an exclusive Q&A in the middle of our bus ... and she dropped one insane revelation after another.
Among the revelations -- she revealed she's still holding onto her placenta, which is currently sitting in her freezer. She told passengers she hasn't figured out what to do with it just yet ... but doesn't trust hospitals "not to sell it for $50K." And apparently, pregnancy brought some interesting cravings ... including cookies with steak -- and steak with yogurt.
Cardi B might be raising a future doctor ... or at least a kid who can play one on TV -- because it seems she's named her baby Grey.
The singer-songwriter shared several pics showing her youngest child ... the snaps are all super cute ... in some, he's wearing Rocky and Bullwinkle snapbacks ... in others, he's looking stylish in overalls and jackets.
Cardi also shared pics of him as a doctor with a "Grey's Anatomy" banner in the background ... which might seem innocuous -- except Cardi appears to have picked his 1st Halloween costume deliberately.
Jasmine Crockett thinks Nicki Minaj has been using her massive platform for the wrong reasons ... accusing her political motives of being self-centered.
We caught up with the Congresswoman from Texas on Tuesday in New York City, where she called out the double standard of Nicki -- who's not a U.S. citizen -- acting as a MAGA megaphone while so many other immigrants are being detained by ICE under President Trump.
Check out the clip ... Jasmine is quick to slam Nicki, accusing her of only being out for herself and sowing hate and division.
50 Cent showed up ready for court on Tuesday ... at least virtually -- because the star appeared via Zoom.
The rapper had a court hearing connected to the injunction he filed against Tia Kemp -- Rick Ross' baby mama -- over comments he says she's making about his 14-year-old son on social media.
Tia didn't show up to the hearing ... and not much got done, according to our court reporter.
Sean "Diddy" Combs' prison release date has been shifting for months --- and now his latest walk-out date has been moved up more than 3 weeks, TMZ has learned.
The federal Bureau of Prisons says Diddy will now be a free man on February 6, 2028, instead of March 2, 2028, which was his projected release date last month. Previous release dates also included January 21, February 5, and February 20.
Nelly says he got way more than a quarter-pound of cheddar from Taylor Swift in exchange for a last-minute performance ... revealing she handed over $50K in a McDonald's bag!
The rapper told the story on an episode of "The Breakfast Club" earlier this week ... explaining T-Swift called him out of the blue in 2011 and told him she needed a big favor.
He says Taylor told him she and her friends had made up a routine to "Hot in Herre" the night before a concert in Houston, Texas, and asked him to fly down from St. Louis for the show.
Kevin Gates says he doesn't care that he had to fork over a small fortune to his estranged wife ... saying he always gives everything to those he loves -- and the seven-figure payment was no different.
The rapper joined us on "The TMZ Podcast" ... and Towanda asked him about a judge ordering him to split the proceeds of his music catalogue sale with Dreka Gates ... to the tune of $1 million.
KG says a portion is nothing to him ... because he's used to giving his loved ones the world ... implying he did just that for Dreka.
Rick Ross is no longer facing a felony charge in his Miami domestic violence case -- and it's all thanks to prosecutors who dropped the felony battery/strangulation charge against him, TMZ has learned.
According to new court documents, obtained by TMZ ... prosecutors filed two misdemeanor charges against the rapper -- one for battery and the other for battery/domestic violence. Prosecutors dropped the top charge of felony battery because of insufficient evidence.
Previously, Ross pleaded not guilty to a felony battery by strangulation charge and a misdemeanor battery charge.
