DAD DUTY
TMZ.com

Drake's trying to get back to normal life after a month of craziness on the home front -- which included a shooting -- and nothing screams normal more than a proud soccer dad in a cardigan.

TMZ Hip Hop obtained video of Drake and his child's mother Sophie Brussaux soaking up a sideline view with a gaggle of fellow parents, as their son Adonis geared up Thursday for a match.

It's a total contrast from the picture Kendrick Lamar painted on his tide-turning tracks "Meet the Grahams" and "Not Like Us" -- Drake and Sophie are seen chatting it up as Adonis warms up on the field.

50's TWO CENTS
TMZ.com

50 Cent says his entire interaction with Rep. Lauren Boebert was blown out of proportion because the photo-op everyone's talking about is all he had time for, plus he ain't exactly looking for a new GF.

Of course, that's not the impression 50 or Lauren gave the internet after they posted flirty exchanges to go with the cozy pics they snapped Wednesday at the White House.

We caught 50 out in NYC promoting the final season of "Power Book II: Ghost" and he laughed off the notion he and LB have a congressional romance blossoming.

Drake Rerouting to Reggae After K. Dot Battle??? Relax, New Track's a Parody

Kendrick Lamar may not want Drake to sell him any accents but Toronto-based social media personality Snow4y is happily taking it to the bank for his music debut!!!

Drake recently surfaced singing in Jamaica patois on a track titled "Wah Gwan Delilah" … and to the outside world, not in on the joke, it appeared Drake was floundering in the aftermath of his battle with Kendrick.

Drake packs on the slang heavy and paints a short story of himself hanging out at his fav L.A. spot, Delilah, before his homie ruins all the fun in a ski mask ... real silly stuff.

Cam'ron Disses Ant Edwards In Freestyle ... After Commercial Callout

Cam'ron just returned fire after Anthony Edwards called out the New York rapper in his latest Adidas commercial ... going OFF on the Timberwolves superstar in a scathing freestyle.

The 22-year-old guard -- who signed with Adidas after turning pro -- released an ad shortly after Minnesota was eliminated from the playoffs last week ... where he clapped back at the people who criticized him by sharing, quite literally, receipts.

One of the naysayers mentioned was Cam'ron ... who said on his "It Is What It Is" podcast that Edwards wasn't a superstar yet.

John Lennon's Son Slams Prince Harry's Memoir ... 'Spare Me'

John Lennon's son has finally read Prince Harry's memoir ... and he's crapping on it.

Sean Ono Lennon -- John and Yoko Ono's only kid -- says he's cracked open the Duke of Sussex's memoir, a year after its release, and he was left underwhelmed by the tell-all, writing ... "My long awaited review of Prince Harry’s autobiography is two words. 'Spare Me.'"

As fans of the prince hit back at Sean's criticism in his comments, the musician doubled down, calling the prince "a buffoon" and an "idiot" in replies to various people online.

KYLE RICHARDS SLAMS Lisa Vanderpump ... Over Mauricio Comments

Kyle Richards isn't holding back her frustration with former pal Lisa Vanderpump ... particularly over her insinuations about her separation from Mauricio Umansky.

ICYMI, LVP gave a straight yes when she was recently asked on the "Call Her Daddy" podcast if she'd ever known about a castmate's partner cheating -- and even though her name wasn't explicitly mentioned, Kyle's convinced Lisa was referring to her.

Kyle also says Lisa was trying to paint Kyle as unhappy in her relationship with Mauricio -- hinting that KR had long been suffering -- even though Kyle says that's not true.

Cardi B Ethers BIA On Glo-Megan Remix... You're A Great Value Version Of Me!!!

Kendrick Lamar and Drake ending their beef doesn't mean the 2024 Rap Wars have a ceasefire ... 'cause Cardi B just fired a ton of shots on "Whole Lotta Money" rapper BIA.

Both Cardi and BIA have been cryptically dissing each other for some time now and Cardi let her have it on GloRilla and Megan Thee Stallion's red-hot "Wanna Be (Remix)."

Cardi acknowledged she sees BIA's sneak disses on her timeline ... "Guess I’m a teacher since you wanna sub me" before slicing into BIA's résumé ... "Thought she was on the shelf, IKEA. Hope she talk like that when I see her/Bitch please, don’t nobody wanna be her BIA!!!"

DJ Paul Drake Finished After K-Dot Beef?!? 😂 Time to Make More Hits!!!

PLAYING BOTH SIDES!!!
TMZ.com

DJ Paul says it's crazy to write off Drake after his heavy Kendrick Lamar battle -- insane, actually, because Drake ... is Drake!!!

The Three 6 Mafia star chopped it up with TMZ Hip Hop at LAX, where he told us the Kendrick-Drake beef was great entertainment ... but the subsequent convos about Drake's career being over are totally overblown.

Paul says Drake and Kendrick's feud diverted his attention from the action of the NBA Playoffs -- it was that good -- and, in his book, he doesn't see either rapper as a loser!

J. Cole Trying Sexy Drill After K. Dot Battle ... Fans Think He's Shell-Shocked

J. Cole's 2nd guest appearance since apologizing and exiting his lyrical duel with Kendrick Lamar isn't striking the right chord with fans ... even though he's riding rap's hottest wave at the moment!!!

On Friday, Cash Cobain released his new "sexy drill" single, "Grippy" with a rare Cole feature on what's really just an updated version of CC's 2023 track "Dunk Contest."

Sources close to the song's production tell us Cole DM'd Cash to hop on the song, and the rest is now history.

Cole avoids all references to his abbreviated K. Dot beef with playful lyrics -- "I call her that 'cause it's grippy/She thinkin' it hip, she a hippie/And she thinkin' of lips, she gon' lick me" and "Believe it or not likе Ripley's/She said she was gay until I slayed/Now she's strictly dickly!"

Fans didn't find it cool that Cole dumbed down his lyrics -- even if it was for the sexy drill cause., and gave him an earful on social media .. where the consensus is Kendrick is still in his head.

Cole also got flak for a line that appeared to be yet another dig at the LGBTQ community ... 2024 has been one backfire after another for the North Carolina rapper.

Not "Fo' Sho," It's "Fisherrr"

CC outlined criteria for the sexy drill movement to TMZ Hip Hop when the original version of his smash hit "Fisherrr" came out ... too bad the Cole collab isn't checking boxes for fans.

Billie doubled down, saying, "Even my favorite artists ... I'm not trying to hear them for 3 hours. That's far too long!"

Drake Raps Over 'BBL Drizzy' Challenge With Sexyy Redd No Credit For Metro?!? 🤔

Metro Boomin has still been taunting Drake in the aftermath of his Kendrick Lamar battle, but Drake might've just gotten the last laugh!!!

On "U My Everything," his latest collab with Sexyy Red, producer Tay Keith switches the beat midway to Metro's "BBL Drizzy" instrumental ... opening the door for Drake to address some plastic surgery topics.

Drake says his deep pockets sponsor ladies with surgeons worldwide but urges his "Rich Baby Daddy" costar to avoid the knife ... "BBL Drizzy, they want a new body, they ask me for it ... But Red, don’t even worry about all of that s**t/Just keep it natural for ’em, I swear.”

TO THE HIGHEST BIDDER
TMZ.com

First up, on "TMZ Live," Harvey and Charles discuss 50 Cent's new Diddy docuseries ... which officially has a new home at Netflix.

50 Cent Sells Diddy Doc to Netflix After Bidding War!!!

50 Cent has been hyping up his Diddy documentary for months, and he wasn't trolling his archenemy, as the project just landed a prestigious new home ... TMZ has learned.

Multiple sources familiar with the situation tell TMZ ... Fifty's multi-part documentary about the sexual assault allegations against Diddy was purchased by Netflix.

We're told there was a massive bidding war over the doc, which was produced through 50's G-Unit Film and Television Studios, with multiple networks and all of the streaming platforms attempting to land the series.

Scarlett Johansson Hired Lawyers Over OpenAI's ChatGPT ... Says They Approached Her

update

6:11 PM PT -- OpenAI's CEO Sam Altman tells TMZ ... “The voice of Sky is not Scarlett Johansson's, and it was never intended to resemble hers. We cast the voice actor behind Sky’s voice before any outreach to Ms. Johansson. Out of respect for Ms. Johansson, we have paused using Sky’s voice in our products. We are sorry to Ms. Johansson that we didn’t communicate better.”

Scarlett Johansson appears ready to go to legal war (again) -- only now, it's all about ChatGPT's newest voice sounding eerily similar to her ... and she says that's no coincidence.

The actress came out swinging Monday on the heels of OpenAI -- the creator of ChatGPT -- yanking their newest feature of their hottest commodity ... namely, suspending AI voices they recently trotted out, including one that many said sounded just like ScarJo.

They dubbed the new voice Sky ... and many felt it eerily mirrored Scarlett's AI character in 2013's "Her" -- where Joaquin Phoenix falls in love with a computer that sounds human.

Tom Hanks Chet Explains Drake-K.Dot Beef Hilarious Text Response!!!

Tom Hanks doesn't need Genius annotations to get the play-by-play on the Drake and Kendrick Lamar battle ... 'cause his son Chet can break it down ... and he did just that.

Chet -- who's moonlighted as a rapper/reggae artist in the past, and has a firm grasp on all things hip-hop -- shared a hilarious text message exchange with his movie star dad this week ... who was apparently uber-curious about the year's biggest moment in pop culture.

You can easily see Chet's inner rap nerd burst out explaining the beef with intense detail ... but he may have lost his pops along the way, especially based on how Tom responded.

Lil Yachty Drake Was Underdog vs. Kendrick ... He's Still Rap King!!! 👑

NO WINNERS OR LOSERS
A Safe Space Podcast

Lil Yachty doesn't think Drake is permanently scarred by his battle with Kendrick Lamar -- although, almost everyone agrees he lost ... Champagne Papi's still king in Yachty's book!!!

The Boatster broke his silence about the Drake-Kendrick beef on his "A Safe Space" podcast after lyrically getting looped into the mix.

Kendrick poked at Yachty's friendship with Drake on "Euphoria" when he growled, "Yachty can't give you no swag neither, I don't give a f**k who ya hang with" -- an incredible strategy Yachty says, but not enough to ruin the OVO legacy.
