Celebrity Feuds

DaBaby could have his own hip hop battle going right now -- adjacent to Drake vs. Kendrick Lamar -- but it wouldn't have been authentic, so he rejected a mystery rapper's indecent proposal.

While speaking to Shaq and Adam Lefkoe on 'The Big Pod,' DaBaby claims a well-known lyricist propositioned him -- shortly before J. Cole apologized to Kendrick for engaging in beef cosplay -- to get their names looped in the headlines.

DaBaby says the unnamed rapper was amped seeing the attention Drake and Kendrick were getting and wanted to scoop some buzz by launching a fake feud in public ... while maintaining a tight relationship behind the scenes.

Tupac Shakur's estate is laying down the law on Drake ... threatening to drag him to court for using an AI-generated version of the late rapper's voice for a diss track aimed at Kendrick Lamar.

TMZ has obtained the cease-and-desist letter fired off by the attorney for Tupac's estate, Howard King, and it calls out Drake for the AI verse on "Taylor Made Freestyle" ... saying, "Not only is the record a flagrant violation of Tupac's publicity and the estate's legal rights, it is also a blatant abuse of the legacy of one of the greatest hip-hop artists of all time."

The estate goes on to say it would never have given approval for this -- and it issues an ultimatum: take down the track in less than 24 hours, and explain how it was made ... or else.

Kim Kardashian posted a photo with one of Taylor Swift's famous frenemies -- none other than Karlie Kloss, who stopped being good pals with the Swiftster years ago ... interesting.

The reality star posted a selfie from 2022 that featured herself, Karlie, Khloe and W Magazine's Sara Moonves ... who were all cozied up around this dude named Derek Blasberg ... just another socialite.

It was his birthday and she posted a series of photos to honor his big day -- including this throwback pic.

Anne Hathaway claims she once had to make out with 10 different men during a chemistry test -- but that didn't happen on two of her biggest movie hits ... TMZ has learned.

Donna Morong -- the casting director for 'Princess Diaries' in 2001 -- tells TMZ … she's never participated in any auditions where two actors had to make out with their partners in order to test screen chemistry, something Anne says she had to do early in her career.

Some fans speculated "The Princess Diaries" may have been the film in question, as Anne told V Magazine the chemistry read was for a project back in the 2000s. Remember, the coming-of-age movie premiered in 2001 ... and featured Anne kissing not one, but 2 of her costars.

Arnold Schwarzenegger and Sylvester Stallone have dibs on 2 of the 4 spots on the Mt. Rushmore of action heroes ... but who are the other 2?

Arnold and Sly sat down with Harvey for a new FOX special, airing tonight (Tuesday) at 8 PM/7 Central, to talk about their intense rivalry that eventually turned into a close friendship.

Arnold's pick for the 3rd spot is interesting ... not necessarily top of mind, but when you hear it it makes a lot of sense.

Drake floored the masses when he brought Tupac Shakur and Snoop Dogg into his beef against Kendrick Lamar via AI ... and Pac's brother thinks it was a step too far in the ongoing beef.

Mopreme Shakur, Tupac's brother tells TMZ Hip Hop that his issue with Drake using an AI Tupac voice is that he weaponized it ... all for a rap battle.

Mopreme tells us Drake using Pac's voice is like bringing out a tank, or even going with a nuclear option -- and he thinks the battle should be 1-on-1 ... with no outside help.

Quavo is taking his beef with Chris Brown to a whole new level -- responding to CB's "Weakest Link" with a diss track of his own that includes the voice of late Migos member, Takeoff.

The new track is called "Over Hoes & Bitches," and it dropped late Monday, with Quavo's opening verse coming in hot -- "Little bitch come dance battle with my drac' / You been f***ed your bag up when you punched Ri' in the face."

Of course, Quavo's referring to Chris assaulting Rihanna back in 2009. So far in their rap beef, he's repeatedly hit Chris with his history of domestic violence.

Kim Kardashian's social media profile is taking a hit in the wake of Taylor Swift dropping a new diss track about the reality TV star.

ICYMI ... Taylor's new song, "thanK you aIMee," is a thinly veiled revenge anthem against Kim -- hence the capitalized letters in the title. In the song, Taylor blasts a bully from her past ... slamming the woman as a "bronze spray-tanned statue."

And, only a few days after the track's release, Kim's lost more than 100,000 fans on social media ... with countless Swifties spamming her Instagram and X pages with vitriol.

El perfil de Kim Kardashian en redes sociales está recibiendo un golpe a raíz de que Taylor Swift lanzó una nueva pista atacando a la estrella de la telerrealidad.

Solo unos días después del lanzamiento de la canción Kim ha perdido más de 100.000 fans en redes sociales, con un sinnúmero de Swifties haciendo spam en su Instagram y su perfil de X.

Arnold and Sly sat down with Harvey for a candid, sometimes stunning convo about the intense rivalry between the 2 mega-action stars.

Sly was stunned as Arnold explained how he got his now-good friend to star in "Stop! Or My Mom Will Shoot." Arnold knew the script was terrible, but he had heard Sly was kinda interested in it. So Arnold figured if Sly felt he wanted the role, Sly would jump at it.

El polémico rapero compartió un vistazo de la nueva pista, titulada "Like That (Remix)", en un episodio de "The Download" presentado por su amigo Justin Laboy.

El comienzo de la pista cuenta con una línea exacta de la recién estrenada canción "Like that", de Future, K.dot y Metro Boomin, que muchos tomaron como una respuesta al exitoso tema "First Person Shooter", de Drake y J. Cole, que encendió una pública disputa con varias idas y vueltas.

Chris Brown's not fooling around in his beef with Quavo ... dropping a new diss track -- and invoking the name of Quavo's late nephew, and Migos star, Takeoff.

The singer-songwriter -- whose well-documented beef with Quavo's reignited in recent days -- put out his new track "Weakest Link" on YouTube and Instagram ... and, he's clearly going for Quavo's throat throughout the track.

And, one of his biggest disses ... "R.I.P. Takeoff, he the only real one, I got true respect / Crazy how when he died, everybody really wished it was you instead" -- so yeah, Brown's taking the kid gloves off.

Joaquin Phoenix has an ally on the Hollywood battlefield -- the historical advisor from his film, "Napoleon" is leaping to his defense following some biting criticism from Brian Cox.

Lorris Chevalier tells TMZ ... Joaquin did the best with what he was given on-set -- even though he himself wanted to take "Napoleon" in a different, unique, direction ... but he faced stiff opposition.

Despite his ideas being shut down, Lorris says Joaquin really threw himself into the role ... hitting up spots like Napoleon's private castle, the Malmaison and several other Napoleonic sites around Paris for some hands-on character research.
