Baby Mama

DMX has a perfectly good explanation for missing his latest court date -- he thought it was changed so he could party in Vegas.

An arrest warrant was issued for DMX after he missed a court hearing on Monday to address child support issues with his ex-wife Tashera Simmons and their 4 kids.

A rep for DMX tells us they believed they got the court date changed in advance because they had an event booked. X performed "DMX-Mas" in Las Vegas on Sunday night.

In October, the same NY judge let him out of jail so he could perform and make money for child support. Sources in the court tell us the judge now thinks he was too lenient with the rapper.

We're told X’s attorney is contacting the court to work out the details, and they believe the warrant will be lifted.

Fetty Wap is blasting his alleged baby mama, Masika, as nothing more than a jumpoff -- and he's gonna need to see some DNA before he celebrates a new arrival.

Sources close to the rapper tell us he's furious about Masika's social media claim that he's responsible for her 6-month-old fetus. Fetty's not denying they hooked up, but clearly Masika caught some feelings he didn't.

We're told he refers to her as a "groupie," and won't believe he's the father until there's a paternity test after the birth. As for any marriage proposals -- which she hinted at with us -- Fetty's saying, "The whole situation about a ring is a bunch of s**t!"

Soooooo ... Lamaze classes and a push present are probably off the table?

Daphne Joy -- best know for this, and being 50 Cent's baby mama -- is a sight to behold from almost every angle you can imagine ... but especially from behind.

Daphne's got a 3-year-old kid with 50 Cent and is rumored to be dating Jason Derulo now. She pretty much gave away the secret to her dating success on the beach in Miami.

Fiddy must love watching her leave.

Ice-T and Coco Austin are the proud new parents of a beautiful baby girl.

Chanel Nicole was born early Saturday morning in New Jersey. According to Ice and Coco's posts, she weighed 5.7 lbs and was 18 inches long. Coco was 37 weeks into her pregnancy. We're told Chanel was a natural birth and took Coco just three pushes.

You'll remember -- Coco did pregnancy right -- taking Chanel to rock concerts and posing for sexy pics.

Coco's carrying just as much baby weight in her bra as in her belly these days ... which isn't exactly a bad thing.

It's like the LAST place you'd expect Kris and Caitlyn Jenner to hang out -- but here they are ... tossing beads together off a balcony to drunk Bourbon Street revelers.

We're told the exes were in the French Quarter shooting for an episode of "I Am Cait." They hit up a couple bars and tried their hands at the Mardi Gras bead tradition. Far as we know, both women kept their tops on though.

"Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta" star Benzino is a dad three times over ... he welcomed a baby boy with his fiancee Althea Eaton and couldn't wait to show him off.

Sources close to Benzino tell TMZ his son, Zino Antonio Scott was born earlier this month. We're told Althea was in labor for nearly 10 hours before giving birth to the 5 lbs. 11 oz. baby and everyone is happy and healthy.

TMZ broke the story ... the couple was shopping the first pics of the kid for big bucks, but looks like Benzino couldn't wait any longer to show his new offspring to the world cuz he posted one on Instagram.

Chris Brown and his baby mama Nia Guzman have settled their custody war, right down to the official name of their child.

Sources connected with the case tell us, Chris and Nia have agreed to joint physical and legal custody. He'll get their 1-year-old 12 days out of the month, and there will be no supervised visitation.

As for the baby's name ... they've agreed she's Royalty Brown -- no middle name.

And we're told Chris will pay Nia $2,500 a month. He's also paying her $15k in back support.

Chris also has to pay for Royalty's schooling, health insurance, medical bills and nannies.

And we're told the drug test Chris submitted to during the custody hearing has come back positive for both weed and codeine, but we're told he had a prescription for both.

The settlement is subject to a judge's approval.

Kim Kardashian's learned a thing or two about fighting inflation ... of her ankles during pregnancy -- and let's just say she won't get fooled again.

Kim cruised out of her San Diego hotel and for once, chose comfort over fashion ... because in full public view she was wearing fuzzy slippers.

Looks like the run of the mill, hotel spa-issued slippers too -- and NOT couture!

There's a very simple reason why roughly 6-months pregnant Kim is dressing down. Who can forget the great ankle crisis of 2013?

Kyrie Irving is convinced he's gonna be a dad -- and the baby mama is a SMOKIN' HOT former Texas beauty queen ... this according to court docs obtained by TMZ Sports.

Former NBA superstar Larry Johnson was nearly a million bucks in the hole with one of his baby mamas -- but he found a way to make her happy ... hand over the keys to a house!!

Chris Brown wants the courts to do his dirty work -- as in, force baby mama Nia Guzman to quit bad mouthing him and talking about his fathering skills, or lack thereof, in public.

Chris and Nia are heading into court Friday morning to start hammering out a formal custody agreement for Royalty, but sources connected to the case tell us job 1 will be a gag order. Brown filed docs for an injunction blocking Guzman from bashing him to news media AND on social media.

Royalty's mom and dad have had very public beefs -- most recently when each accused the other of putting Royalty in dangerous situations. Sources close to Guzman say she thinks the gag order is a joke, since she only blasts Chris when he starts with her.

Also on the table today -- custody time (he wants 50/50), and monthly child support (she wants $15k/month instead of $2,500/month). This case won't be quick and easy. As one source put it, "It's gonna get nasty."

We'll be at court when the fireworks begin. Stay tuned ...

6:45 AM PT -- Nia just showed up at the courthouse in Houston. No sign of Chris yet.

Rick Ross and his baby mama are in an all-out war over a luxury sedan -- she claims Rick boosted it from his son, but Rick says that's impossible ... since he footed the bill for the ride!

Tia Kemp went HAM on Rick early Thursday ... saying, "Rick Ross takes the car from his Son Again!!" -- in a post that included a shot of their 9-year-old standing next to the BMW B7, just to tug at the heart strings.

A source close to Rick tells TMZ ... yeah, he took the car, but it's not theft since Rick paid for it. The fact that Tia says it belongs to their son is kind of a stretch -- we're told Rick lets Tia use it to drive the kid to school, but it's always been in Rick's name.

Still, Tia's not having it. She's spent all day posting pics of Rick with just about everyone -- Jay Z, Diddy, LeBron James, T.I., and French Montana -- begging them to convince Rick to give back the whip.

As for why Rick took the car in the first place -- we're told Tia started beefing with him about his new chick, Lira Mercer. Not sure why Tia would have an issue ... seems like a lovely girl.

Blake Griffin showed off his insane physique as he played around in the ocean in Hawaii with his son Ford and baby mama Brynn Cameron.

FYI ... Blake and Cameron broke up a long time ago, but they seem to do these annual vacations for the kid.

Ex-NBA superstar Gilbert Arenas UNLEASHED on his baby mama Laura Govan -- claiming she blows the $20k he gives her every month on clothes for Instagram "for u f*cks to hit the like button."

Chris Brown is beefing up his security force and putting his entourage, dancers, and crew on notice -- NO screw-ups on tour ... or else.

Sources close to Chris tell us he's hired 5 new bodyguards to shadow him during his "One Hell of a Nite" tour. One of the guards will be eyeballing his money and his jewelry at all times -- and there will be NO backstage access for anyone, unless they know Chris.

The problem is ... he's fighting for joint custody of Royalty and fears Nia Guzman will use any missteps against him when they meet in court in 2 weeks. We're told Chris wants to make sure there are no more robberies or violent incidents.

He's so serious about keeping things clean, he's told his dancers and entourage they'll be sent home if anyone acts out.

So, to recap ... Chris is now the adult. Go figure.
