Sexyy Red is denying she's the one responsible for posting her own sex tape to social media.

The video was posted to SR's Instagram Wednesday, and on Thursday the rapper dismissed the leak as "goofy sh*t" and said her close friends would know the move wasn't in her character.

She may be one of Hip Hop's biggest open books to date -- her breakout song "Pound Town" dropped at the top of the year and created a sex-positive wave.

Sexyy's social media has been centered around controversy as of late. It was recently discovered she was hanging with a local Atlanta rapper after he posted them together ... many speculating it was done without her permission.

21 Savage is a prisoner to the borders of the United States no more -- he's got a Green Card after a years-long immigration battle -- according to his buddy, Drake.

Drake just dropped his song "8AM in Charlotte" where he makes the stunning reveal, rapping, "Savage got a green card straight out of the consulate. Where I go, you go, brother, we Yugoslavian."

The timing of the announcement is certainly interesting considering Drake and 21 have two shows scheduled in Drake's home of Toronto, Canada this weekend.

21 hasn't been able to attend any of the tour stops outside of The United States because of his immigration status ... but with a Green Card, it's now possible for him to leave the country.

As we reported, it was way back in 2019 when 21 was detained by ICE officials and the world learned the rapper was actually from the UK, and had been living in the U.S. illegally for years after his Visa expired. Authorities claimed during that arrest, 21 also tossed a bottle of codeine, and a handgun was found in his vehicle -- further complicating his situation.

In fact, it was the criminal case that then delayed his immigration case as everything got backed up during the pandemic.

Taylor Swift is everywhere these days, even helping to raise some money for her bestie Selena Gomez's charity event.

Two of Taylor's highly sought-after concert tix hit the auction block in Hollywood Wednesday at the inaugural Rare Impact Fund Benefit. It was part of Selena's ongoing campaign to bring awareness to people struggling with mental health issues and self-acceptance.

Martin Short was the emcee of the affair, kicking off the tickets auction at $5K, but the number steadily rose until it finally hit a whopping $15K -- the biggest ticket item of the event. Of course, Martin added a lot of humor and had the audience cracking up.

Unsurprisingly, once Martin made the winner official -- everyone went crazy and clapped.

Jenelle Evans' husband, David Eason, says the relationship he has with Jenelle's son, Jace, is something no one gets ... sharing photos of the 2 of them together after allegedly abusing him.

David uploaded snaps Wednesday of him hanging out with 14-year-old Jace -- doing things together like fixing up dirt bikes, playing basketball, catching fish, and shooting pool.

He captioned the photos, "Nobody understands our relationship and that's fine because they don't need to!"

TMZ broke the story, David and Jenelle are currently under investigation for child neglect after Jace was reported missing last week -- he was found soon after, but he had already gone missing 2 other times before that.

Jenelle chalked it up to Jace being a rebellious teen, but sources with direct knowledge told us they're being investigated because Jace allegedly told cops David assaulted him.

We were told Jace was found with visible marks on his neck and arm, and the alleged assault is believed to have been captured on a Ring camera -- the footage is now in the possession of police and CPS.

BTW, David also talked about the abuse allegations, saying, "Police reports have been falsified and the truth is already apparent to everyone involved."

Khloé Kardashian has made clear to Tristan Thompson 2 things ... she wants him out of her house, but still in her life. Let us explain.

Khloe and Tristan are featured on Thursday's episode of "The Kardashians," and this scene does not seem staged at all, at least when it comes to feelings. Tristan's been repairing his home since the SoCal floods hit way back in January, and Khloe's let him stay with her until it's all fixed up, but it's clear her patience is running thin.

Khloe is prodding Tristan for a timeline on when the repairs will be completed, and he responds by saying he can't wait for her to see it when it's completed. Khloe then plays her hand, saying she as well can't wait. TRANSLATION: She wants him out.

KK is not harsh at all. In fact, she's the opposite, acknowledging she and Tristan will be joined at the hip for the rest of their lives because they share 2 kids together.

She makes it clear ... there's a bright line between having a romantic relationship with him again and keeping him in her life as a strong presence for their kids.

It's really a moving convo ... Khloe acknowledges the hurt Tristan has caused but is burying that for the sake of their kids.

Super mature, and exemplary parenting, for sure.

Drake's son Adonis is all over his dad's new video for "8AM in Charlotte" -- in addition to being featured, he drew the cover art, but it seems he got paid bupkis for his hard work!!!

The new vid kicks off Drake's "For All the Dogs" rollout, which finally drops tomorrow after several delays.

Adonis gave a full explanation of the goat he drew for the new illustration, similar to the one he crafted for the 'Dogs' cover art -- the goat symbolizes a "Daddy Goat" AKA his father being the greatest of all time ... an opinion that got no pushback from Drake!!!

When Drake teased him about his payment for the drawing, Adonis showed he's no stranger to sarcasm at just 5 years old, dropping an "Oh, please!" on Dad to his face!!!

Who knows, the paintings could be worth millions down the line, especially if Drake's album lives up to the hype.

Comedian Roy Wood Jr. is kissing "The Daily Show" goodbye ... leaving the program after, at one point, being considered to take the helm as host following Trevor Noah's departure.

Roy says in a statement Thursday he's "made the decision to move on" from a place where, according to him, he's "been able to pursue my comedic and political curiosities with some of the best writers, producers, crew and correspondents anyone could hope for."

He gives thanks to Trevor Noah -- the show's former host -- as well as Paramount and Comedy Central for letting him produce stand-up specials, host multiple podcasts, write a film, and shoot the pilot of a TV show.

Roy ends, saying he's excited to "see what the future holds for me in the shifting sands of late night television, scripted comedy, and whatever else the comedy gods may have in store for me."

TMZ broke the story, Roy was in the running to replace Trevor last year -- as the South African comedian stepped down from his hosting gig after 7 years.

Sources told us Comedy Central execs saw Roy as someone who could easily be the new face of "TDS" -- not only is he one of the most memorable correspondents on the show, but the series has a history of promoting from within.

We were told the higher-ups at CC were worried about Roy leaving because of how in-demand he's become over the years ... but Roy told NPR the show never officially offered him the gig.

Floyd Mayweather was in a giving mood, a veryyyy giving mood, this week ... the legendary boxer hooked his buddy up with an iced-out watch worth a quarter of a million dollars!

TMZ Sports is told Mayweather gifted the $250k, custom timepiece to the famed Shuki Diamonds ... and the cool moment was captured on video.

"The Money Man is back. I'm right here with my main man, Shuki. We in L.A., ballin' out," 50-0 Mayweather said to the camera while standing next to the jeweler.

He continued ... "This watch right here is going to Shuki. One of my custom pieces. Money Man, y'all know the rest."

Of course, Floyd, owner of a nearly unmatched jewelry collection, is one of the highest-earning athletes of all time. He made around $300 million for the Conor McGregor fight alone.

In retirement, Mayweather has continued to rake in millions, taking exhibition bouts around the world, fighting everyone from Logan Paul to John Gotti's grandson.

As for Shuki (who already owns some awesome watches), he's now got a condo on his wrist.

Damian Lillard's new team isn't the only major change in his life -- the Milwaukee Bucks superstar just filed for divorce from his longtime partner, Kay'La.

TMZ Sports has confirmed ... the 7-time All-Star officially filed docs in Oregon earlier this week.

Dame and Kay'La go way back -- they first started dating as students at Weber State and were together ever since. They officially got married back in September 2021 and have three children.

According to Willamette Week, Dame's filing cited irreconcilable differences that "caused the irremediable breakdown of their marriage."

The report also points out the two appear to have been living separately for the past 10 months ... with Kay'La moving into a $2.7 million home in West Linn, while Dame remained at their $7.7 million pad in the same city.

There has been speculation for weeks ... with some internet sleuths noticing Kay'La had been absent from Damian's social media posts.

Paris Fashion Week is over, but the party's still going for the bed bugs lucky enough to hitch a ride with Hollywood A-listers flying back to the U.S. ... and now an org specializing in the creepy crawly pests is offering a stern warning.

Dr. Jim Fredericks -- a board-certified entomologist and senior public affairs VP at the National Pest Management Association -- tells TMZ ... bed bugs are highly capable hitchhikers, so the possibility of them catching a ride to the States from infested Paris remains high. However, there are measures celebs can take to avoid that nightmare.

For starters, Dr. Fredericks says any celebs who attended fashion shows or bunked up at bougie Paris hotels need to do a hardcore inspection of their luggage and bedding alike -- and that includes those who stayed at the ritziest of hotels. 5-stars or one, bed bugs don't care, and tend to worm their way into any setting.

On top of looking for live bed bugs, the doc says any signs of exoskeletons or fecal spots are good indications of a bed bug problem. Preventatively, he explains the wise move is storing luggage outside of bedrooms during visits.

Additionally, a thorough inspection of suitcases/backpacks, etc. is smart before catching a flight back home ... to prevent the critters from hopping continents.

Even if you're sure your gear is bed bug-free ... Dr. Fredericks says anyone visiting Paris oughta do a thorough wash of all their clothes, and dry them on a high heat setting. Once back in the U.S., he says it's better to be safe than sorry ... so, a dry clean wouldn't hurt either.

While blood-sucking bed bugs don't pose a risk of spreading disease, per se, they can be a major nuisance once they've set up shop ... all of which can be averted with preemptive action.

Severe road rage has a Philly biker behind bars this morning ... after he was caught on camera smashing the rear window of a woman's car as her 2 young kids were in the backseat.

Cops busted 26-year-old Cody Heron Wednesday night for a heinous attack on a driver Sunday night. Heron was part of a group of bikers riding through the city when they rolled up on Nikki Bullock's sedan.

Video of the incident shows Heron hop off his motorcycle, and stomp twice on the rear window of her car before he smashes right through it.

You can also see Heron was armed with a handgun, because it falls out of his waistband as he jumps off the car to get back on his bike. After a brief physical confrontation -- during which Heron headbutts Nikki with his helmet -- he and the other bikers flee the scene.

Cops finally tracked down Heron Wednesday night at a home where they also found his motorcycle, helmet and a 9mm handgun.

He was booked for possession of an instrument of crime, recklessly endangering another person, and multiple counts of aggravated assault.

Nikki says the whole thing started because Heron sideswiped her car while she was delivering for Uber Eats. She was arguing with him and other bikers, and says that's when Heron jumped off his bike and pounced on the window ... with her 5-year-old and 2-year-old kids just inches away.

A woman was fired from her job after she went on a xenophobic rant calling German tourists "f**king immigrants" and demanding they leave "our country," TMZ has confirmed.

Brianna Pinnix was a talent acquisition specialist at Capital Rx until she was filmed giving her tongue-lashing to a group of men aboard a train bound for NYC -- and the video was posted on Reddit for everyone to see Tuesday morning.

On Thursday, a spokesperson for Capital Rx told TMZ, "Our company has a zero-tolerance policy around prejudicial or discriminatory behavior. After conducting a review of the circumstances, we acted immediately and terminated the employee in question."

The rep added, "The former employee’s actions and words are not representative of Capital Rx, and we offer our sincerest apology to those who were hurt. We are proud of our company’s diversity and will continue to foster policies for inclusion and invest in our DEI programs."

The New York Post was first to report about Pinnix's firing.

In the Reddit video, Pinnix approaches the men in their seats and starts going off on them as her companion tries to put a stop to it aboard the train.

At one point, Pinnix gets up in the grill of one of the guys and screams, 'What did you say?! Tell me what you said!" Her companion begs her to "not do this," warning that she might get arrested.

But Pinnix doesn't listen and continues to yell at the same guy, prompting him to jump up and raise his voice to her. He then sits back down, shaking his head.

After returning to her own seat, Pinnix starts sounding off about "f**king immigrants." She eventually tells the tourists, "How about you get the f**k out of our country."

The other passengers are not down with her vitriol, and they let her know it, with one woman saying, "That's messed up."

President Biden's pooch, Commander, is in the doghouse ... he's been booted from the White House amid an alarming number of biting incidents.

The Bidens' 2-year-old German Shepherd is reported to have chomped down on way more than the 11 incidents the Secret Service acknowledges ... it's said Commander is not only biting agents but also folks who work around the White House and at the president's residence.

As a result, Commander's no longer living at the White House, according to CNN ... he's getting a change in scenery as Joe and Jill try to figure out what to do with their dog.

It's part of a troubling trend for Commander ... and now we're learning more about the severity of the bites, with CNN reporting at least one sent the victim to the hospital, and another required medical attention.

The reason only 11 bites are officially on the record ... several incidents are going untreated and unreported.

Remember ... the White House Press Secretary says Commander was feeling stressed out by all the commotion and people darting back and forth in the residence of The White House and other areas as well.

Now, Commander's gotten the boot from 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue like his older brother, Major ... the prez's other German Shepherd who also found himself in biting trouble.

Flo Rida's baby mama says she's willing to settle the lawsuit over their son's near-fatal fall from her New Jersey apartment building ... but it's going to require an 8-figure payout.

According to new legal docs, obtained by TMZ, Alexis Adams says it will take $40 million for her to settle the suit she's filed against the various parties she claims are responsible for her son's fall from a Jersey City building.

Remember, Alexis and Flo's 6-year-old son Zohar fell from a 5th-story window back in March and landed on the concrete pavement below ... resulting in serious injuries.

As we reported ... Zohar was rushed to a hospital and placed in the ICU ... ultimately emerging in a full-body cast and then learning how to walk again. Doctors said it's a miracle the boy even survived the 50-foot fall.

Alexis is suing a construction company and a window installation company, among others, blaming them for installing "incorrect sized guards" on the windows ... which she believes allowed Zohar to fall. Flo Rida is not involved in the suit.

Tom Brady's jersey from his final NFL game is about to hit the auction block ... and it's about to be in the hands of someone VERY rich -- 'cause it could sell for up to $2.5 MILLION!!!

TMZ Sports has learned ... the iconic piece of Buccaneers gear will be available next month as part of RM Sotheby's and Wynn's Official Auction of the inaugural Las Vegas Grand Prix.

The white No. 12 threads are from Brady's last game on January 16, 2023 ... when the Bucs faced the Dallas Cowboys in a Wild Card playoff matchup on Monday Night Football.

Brady had 351 yards, two touchdowns and one interception in the contest ... falling to Dallas, 31-14 and ending his stellar career.

Officials say the item could potentially become the most valuable game-worn jersey EVER ... passing Joe Montana’s San Francisco 49ers uni he wore in Super Bowl XIX and Super Bowl XXIII, which came with a $1.2 million price tag earlier this year.

Sotheby’s Head of Streetwear & Modern Collectables Brahm Wachter spoke about the rare piece of memorabilia ... saying, "There are only a few athletes who are universally accepted as the greatest in their sport -- Michael Jordan, Tiger Woods, Muhammed Ali, Wayne Gretzky, Babe Ruth."

"For the National Football League, it’s Tom Brady. Worn at the very last game of his tenured career, this historic shirt is a tangible reminder of Brady’s unparalleled legacy, and as such, is arguably the most coveted NFL jersey to ever come to auction."

King Combs says he has every intention to carve out a hip hop legacy with his own original music, but when it comes to sampling, he admits ... sometimes it's hard to say no to a hit!!!

We got the Bad Boy Jr. at LAX on Wednesday and asked just how much access he has to his father's iconic tunes for use as samples when he's in the studio.

There's currently a raging debate in the rap world over whether today's samples of popular hits (some that already contain samples themselves) are innovative, or just downright lazy.

KC notes the success he's had with blasts from the past -- his Kodak Black collab "Can't Stop, Won't Stop" borrowed from Lil Kim's "Crush on You" and topped the Billboard rap charts ... while "How You Want It?" with Teyana Taylor used Mase and Total's "What You Want" melody and went Gold.

He recently made it a NYC summer with A Boogie, Fabolous and Jeremih by riding yet another Total wave on the track "Flyest In the City" and tells us he might have to hit the studio for a few more tracks that lean into past songs.

Folks can debate all they want, but for King, the proof is in the public reception.
