Cops in Nevada are investigating after a Black man shared a video where he claims a white man called him racial slurs and told him about a "hanging tree."

The viral footage picks up with the white man smiling and flipping off the Black man, who has since been identified as Rick Johnson. Johnson asks where the supposed "hanging tree" is and the white man fires back, "In your backyard."

Kylie Jenner and Travis Scott appear eager to offload their Beverly Hills home ... as the former flames have slashed the listing price once again.

The ex-couple's first home together -- which they nabbed for a notable $13.4 million back in 2018 -- hit the market again back in February ... when they asked for $17,995,000. Mind you, this was significantly less than their first attempt at unloading the property ... as they previously listed the abode for $21.9 million back in 2022.

KJ and TS didn't get any takers back then ... and it seems that's the case today, as according to online records they are now asking for $15,995,000. If math's not your strong suit, this is a $2 million drop in price ... which likely speaks to the exes' urgency of wanting to ditch the mansion.

In the footage, you see Lanham standing outside the woman's car, pulling on the door handle ... it appears the window is cracked as Lanham is heard shouting, "You roll up that window and I swear to God I'll f****** shoot you."

Leonardo DiCaprio's yacht day in Sardinia didn't go according to plan ... as the actor had an unfortunate run-in with some sea life.

Pole vaulter Anthony Ammirati's manhood might've blocked him from Olympic glory, but it could now help him land a girthy payday ... with an adult entertainment company offering the French athlete a whopping $250k to show off his famous junk on camera.

TMZ Sports obtained a letter from popular XXX site CamSoda ... which extended the offer to the viral track and field star after his dong got in the way and knocked down the crossbar during the group rounds over the weekend.

Ammirati failed to reach the finals after finishing 12th, but CamSoda VP Daryn Parker is looking to turn the whole thing into a positive ... saying, "If it was up to me, I’d award you for what everyone else saw, your talent below the belt."

Jennifer Lopez has returned to L.A. after her Hamptons summer escape ... and instead of mending fences with Ben Affleck, she’s channeling her energy into looking at real estate.

The singer showed up ring-free with her daughter Emme to check out a killer $68 million pad in Bev Hills over the weekend -- even though she's been trying to sell her own $68M marital pad in the same area for about a month.

New footage of journalist Evan Gershkovich's 2023 arrest in Russia shows his terrifying encounter with the country's intelligence agents, who used physical force to detain him.

Check out the vid ... the Wall Street Journal reporter gets put in a headlock and thrown to the ground before being cuffed by the plainclothes agents from Russia's Federal Security Service (FSB). The officers first pinned Evan down on his stomach and then guided him outside the eatery ... all the while keeping him in the headlock.

As you know, Evan was busted in March 2023 on these bogus espionage charges after he went to meet with a source for a WSJ article he was working on.
