Celebrity Feuds

Metro Boomin says his participation against Drake in the 2024 Rap Wars stems from a personal issue with Champagne Papi that left him shaking his head!!!

The super producer was instrumental in the entire battle, literally. Metro crafted the “Like That” beat where Kendrick Lamar initially snapped on Drake … and later led the “BBL Drizzy” movement.

He regrets going on his anti-Drake spree earlier this year but after being called "lame" on "Family Matters," he had to drum up a vocal response, considering the fact he's not a rapper.

Future and Metro Boomin were named GQ's 2024 Hitmakers of the Year ... but Mr. Hendrix isn't completely satisfied.

If Kendrick Lamar, Drake and J. Cole make up the "Big 3" of rap, how's he supposed to be called chopped liver and not take it as BEEF?!?

That was the question Future floated regarding his own No. 1 song "Like That," which Kendrick hijacked when he rapped, "Motherf*** the Big 3, n****, it's just big ME!!!"

Chrishell Stause is back on "Selling Sunset" ... this despite saying she'd only film with Nicole Young again if the show forked over some serious dough.

Sources connected to the show tell TMZ ... Chrishell and Nicole are currently filming season 9 of the hit house-selling show after Chrishell said publicly in September that she wouldn't come back to the show if Nicole returned.

She later amended her statement ... saying in an interview she'd come back if the production team would "add a zero" to her check -- but, still it seemed unlikely the two would share the screen again.

Jake Paul had a massive victory over Mike Tyson on Friday night ... and he wasted no time once again trolling Conor McGregor for an MMA fight.

Jake beat Tyson by a unanimous decision after what many considered a lackluster bout ... and immediately turned his sights to CM ... reigniting the feud.

In his early Saturday message, Jake posted to X ... "Dear Conor, I know you told my team you would fight me at 170lbs. That’s never happening. But let’s run it in MMA. No weight class. Just like how it used to be done. But you won’t."

Shyne says Funkmaster Flex is a well-known hater and you don't have to take just his word alone ... he says ask Jay-Z or Nas directly, or any diehard Tupac Shakur fan!!!

TMZ Hip Hop caught up with Shyne amid his vigorous press run for his upcoming Hulu doc "The Honorable Shyne," and he thanked Flex for the free promotion -- despite everything he's saying has been lies!!!

Shyne tells us Flex's beef with those hip hop heavyweights throughout the years shows his true character.

Warning: Spoilers for "Outer Banks" season 4 ahead ...

"Outer Banks" returned with new season 4 episodes last week ... yet all people can talk about is a rumored feud between costars Rudy Pankow and Madison Bailey.

But, it seems the gossip is a bunch of hogwash, as sources familiar with the situation tell TMZ ... there is no feud or beef between Rudy and Madison.

Still, fans seemed convinced when word started circulating about an alleged rift between the 2 actors ... with some claiming Rudy and Madison stopped interacting as much IRL and on social media after getting into new relationships.

Ice Cube has been questioned to oblivion about making up with his ex-Westside Connection groupmate Mack 10 ... and it just may happen ... if a passive blip of body language is to be believed!!!

Bootleg Kev shot his Hail Mary WS Connection question in a new interview with Cube after swelling the Don Mega's head with inquiries about his other past supergroups, N.W.A. and Mt. Westmore.

Cube bluntly told Kev "I don't know" with a shrug in regards to the reunion ... which is a total improvement after he completely shut down the last time this was a topic!!!

Martha Stewart's ex-husband and his wife are speaking out ... saying he was in an "abusive" relationship with the businesswoman -- this, after Martha admitted to cheating on him.

Shyla Nelson Stewart -- wife of Andrew Stewart, who was married to Martha from 1961 to 1990 -- released a statement on Facebook before the documentary "Martha" dropped on Netflix ... saying she and Andrew have been in a loving relationship for more than a decade.

Shyla says she and her husband enjoy a happy blended family life ... with their kids from their previous relationships and grandkids bringing them immense joy.

Jimmy Kimmel got choked up during the opening monologue of his late-night show, telling his audience it was "terrible" that Donald Trump beat Kamala Harris in the 2024 presidential election.

The comedian came out onstage Wednesday evening for "Jimmy Kimmel Live" one day after Trump beat Harris at the polls, delivering a somber speech that nearly made Jimmy cry.

Jimmy said it was a "terrible night for women, for children, for hundreds of thousands of hard-working immigrants," briefly pausing to fight back tears.

The Zach Bryan and Brianna LaPaglia split just got a whole lot uglier ... with Dave Portnoy and Josh Richards releasing a ruthless diss track aimed at the country music star.

The song -- titled "The Smallest Man" -- dropped Tuesday night ... with Portnoy and Richards continuing to show support for their "BFF's" podcast cohost following her bombshell split from Bryan.

In the song ... the duo makes reference to the country music star's 2023 arrest, being active on dating apps and accusing the singer of spreading STDs.

Martha Stewart's criticism of Ryan Reynolds' "very serious" off-camera persona should be taken with a grain of salt ... given the fact the actor's been quite vocal about his past anxiety hurdles.

A source close to Ryan tells TMZ ... the actor has made no secret about his anxious and racing mind ... which means sometimes he shuts down around people.

As our source puts it ... Blake Lively's husband likes being quiet over being "on" ALL the time.

It's been two years since Draymond Green punched Jordan Poole in practice ... but the two clearly haven't entirely buried the hatchet -- 'cause the NBA stars got testy with each other during Monday night's game.

Poole and his Washington Wizards hosted Green's Golden State Warriors ... and unsurprisingly, the former teammates taunted each other during the Dubs' 125-112 victory.

They had several exchanges in the contest ... and at one point, Wizards rookie Carlton "Bub" Carrington started chatting with the four-time champ -- before Poole intervened and put a stop to it.

Drake made his feelings toward DeMar DeRozan crystal clear on Saturday ... targeting the former Toronto Raptor in an apparent retaliation for appearing in Kendrick Lamar's "Not Like Us" music video.

DeRozan's Sacramento Kings were in Toronto to play against the Raptors ... and, despite suiting up for Drake's beloved team from 2009 to 2018, the 6ix God gave him far from a warm welcome.

The night began on a high note with the Raptors' jersey retirement ceremony for Vince Carter ... but when Drake was asked on the TSN broadcast if DeRozan should have his jersey in the rafters, too, he threw some serious shade.

Sharon Osbourne is not a big fan of Simon Cowell after their publicized falling out ... but she doesn't care if her daughter Kelly is chummy with the guy, she tells TMZ.

We ran into SO while she was leaving Kelly's 40th birthday party in Hollywood ... and we just had to know what she thought about Kelly and Simon being buddies after KO talked about it in a recent interview.

When asked her 2 cents on the friendship with Simon -- who, again, SO feuded with and had a falling out from their 'X Factor UK' and "America’s Got Talent" days ... Sharon told us it's "great" ... adding, "I'm happy that she does."

Tyler, The Creator cursed out Taylor Swift's Swifties for bringing up his old lyrics in hopes of getting him canceled ... he's doubling down on his wildest words!!!

On Halloween, Tyler surprised his Boston fans with a “Chromakopia” album concert to promote his latest project after he defiantly released it Monday -- against music industry standards.

The release shot Tyler to the top of the Global Spotify Artist chart for 3 consecutive days ... knocking Taylor of that perch, and likely sparking the ire of Swifties everywhere.

But, he fired back defiantly ... addressing Taylor's army while on top of the Converse Flagship Store -- "I got Swifties all mad at me with their racist ass ... Bitch, go listen to 'Tron Cat' -- I don't give a f***!!!"

11:31 AM PT -- Jenna Dewan's fiancé, Steve Kazee, is clarifying his cryptic laughing post he shared in the aftermath of Channing Tatum and Zoë Kravitz's split ... defending his upload had nothing to do with JD's ex.

Steve posted on his Instagram Stories Wednesday amid the growing controversy ... explaining he was simply laughing about his houseplants.

He wrote ... "A guy can't laugh about a houseplant on Tik Tok in todays [sic] world I see ..."
