NEVER BEEN IN LOVE
Zach Sang Show

Zayn Malik might've just thrown an unintentional dig at Gigi Hadid ... saying he's not sure he's ever fallen in love with someone -- which seems to apply to the mother of his child.

The One Direction star lifted the lid on his past relationships on an episode of the "Zach Sang Show" ... and, when asked about his definition of love, ZM says it's hard for him to answer the question -- 'cause he's not convinced he's actually ever been head over heels.

Malik goes on to say he loves his daughter with Gigi, Khai ... but, she's family and that's a very different kind of love -- so, he doesn't think he's loved outside of family members before.

BAD FOR THE CULTURE
TMZ.com

Drake and Kendrick Lamar's heated rap beef is the talk of every town, and Malcolm Jamal-Warner thinks that's precisely the problem -- hip hop culture is getting props for bad stuff!

The 'Cosby Show' alum vented his thoughts on Drake and Kendrick's 2024 rap war, and the 53-year-old version of himself refuses to accept the notion their fiery back and forth -- which seems to be on ice now -- was great entertainment.

MJW knows his message isn't a popular one, but thinks Black culture has been conditioned to normalize songs about murder, misogyny and even glorifying the n-word.

Drake Trolled On GoFundMe Over Kendrick ... Co. Wipes 'Funeral' Pages

Drake sent the latest shot in his Kendrick Lamar beef, but fans -- actually trolls -- might have the last say by flocking to GoFundMe to mock him, and potentially profit off his rap demise ... which the company's shutting down.

Here's the deal ... as the dust possibly settles on the rap front -- most pundits say Kendrick's won -- people online are still having a field day over all the back and forth between these two hip-hop titans, and some are even running to GFM to raise a buck ... or that was the plan.

Indeed, a ton of people created fake GoFundMe campaigns over the past 24 hours or so ... and a lot of them are at Drake's expense, soliciting funds to celebrate his metaphorical burial ... if you buy he's lost the 2024 rap war.

DJ Akademiks Kendrick Winning Rap Beef But One Hit Can Bring Drake Back!!!

WE NEED A KNOCKOUT
TMZ.com

Drake and Kendrick Lamar's historic battle is over, with K. Dot emerging victorious, so says a large consensus of the hip-hop community -- but DJ Akademiks says a comeback is still possible.

The #1 rap media maven joined us Monday on "TMZ Live," and explained why he doesn't feel Drake bowed out, or exited stage left ... despite that being the takeaway many spectators got from his latest track "The Heart Part 6."

Ak agrees with the majority, though, that Kendrick has the edge -- but he saluted Drake for responding to the pedophile allegations Kendrick made against him in "Not Like Us."

Drake I Fed Misinformation to Kendrick ... Denies 'Pedophile' Claim

Drake just turned the tables on Kendrick Lamar -- dropping a new diss record to say he baited him into telling a lie about a fake daughter ... this while also denying he's a predator.

Champagne Papi released "The Heart Part 6" Sunday -- a play on KL's running song series of the same name -- and just from the cover art, you could tell it was going to double down on Drake allegations about Kendrick and his fiancée, Whitney Alford (more on that later).

The content is pretty scathing ... Drake says what Kendrick mentioned on 'Meet on the Grahams' -- namely, the allegation he was hiding another kid -- was BS ... and Drizzy says he knows that because he made sure to leak it out, in hopes that K.Dot would air it.
