Druski's constant Birdman trolling seems to have finally caught up with him -- that is, if you buy this surveillance footage ... which shows the record exec "pulling up" on the homie.

TMZ Hip Hop has obtained some pretty shocking footage ... which we're told shows the Cash Money honcho and some goons literally dropping in and violently confronting Druski and co. at a studio session that the viral star was in late Friday night here in L.A.

Check it out ... you can see Birdman and his two friends facing off with Druski in a stairwell, and things get heated quickly -- with Baby apparently even attempting to put hands on Dru.

A minor scuffle ensues, and Druski and his pals go tumbling down the stairs as they try to escape ... making a run for it and beelining it through the halls of the studio -- with Birdman in close pursuit. We're told Dru had just finished filming for his reality show, "Coulda Been House," when this happened ... and from the looks of it, Birdman caught wind of it.

It would also appear that Birdman took something with him from all this ... namely, Druski's chain -- which he proudly flashed on social media afterward, writing ... "Surprise Party B*tch Slippin In Studio Richgang." Druski hasn't addressed the incident on any of his platforms.

Of course, the question here is ... is this real or fake??? Frankly, we're not even sure -- because this "beef" between Druski and Birdman has been walking the line of fact and fiction for a while, and Birdman himself certainly seems to think they have actual problems.

It all stems from this "Coulda Been Records" venture ... which has echoes of Birdman's Cash Money Records, right down to style and design of the logo. From the jump, Baby has made clear he does not approve -- this even though Druski has explained it's all for laughs.

That apparently doesn't matter to Birdman, who has repeatedly faced off with Druski (virtually) telling him to back down ... oftentimes in a pretty threatening way ... which seems legit.

El constante troleo de Druski a Birdman parece que finalmente le está pasando la cuenta, o al menos eso parece al ver este material de vigilancia que muestra al ejecutivo "tirándose encima" de su compañero.

TMZ Hip Hop obtuvo algunas imágenes bastante impactantes que, según nos dicen, muestran al líder de Cash Money y algunos matones, literalmente, cayendo sobre y enfrentándose violentamente con Druski y compañía en una sesión de estudio en la que estuvo la estrella viral la noche del viernes en Los Ángeles.

Echa un vistazo al video, en él se puede ver a Birdman y a sus dos amigos frente a frente con Druski en una escalera, y las cosas se calientan rápidamente, con Baby aparentemente incluso tratando de poner las manos sobre Dru.

Una pelea menor sobreviene, y Druski y sus amigos se caen por las escaleras a medida que tratan de escapar. Luego hacen una carrera por los pasillos del estudio, mientras Birdman los persigue de cerca. Nos dicen que Dru acababa de terminar el rodaje de su reality show, "Coulda Been House", cuando esto sucedió y por lo que parece, Birdman se enteró.

También parece que Birdman se salió con la suya hasta cierto punto, pues se quedó con la cadena de Druski que mostró con orgullo en las redes sociales después, escribiendo: "Surprise Party B*tch Slippin In Studio Richgang". Druski no se ha referido al incidente en ninguna de sus plataformas.

Por supuesto, la pregunta es, ¿es esto real o falso? Francamente, ni siquiera estamos seguros porque esta "bronca" entre Druski y Birdman ha estado rozando la línea de la realidad y la ficción por un tiempo, aunque parece que Birdman ciertamente piensa que sus problemas son reales.

Todo se deriva de la empresa "Coulda Been Records", que tiene ciertos ecos de Cash Money Records de Birdman, hasta el estilo y el diseño del logotipo. Desde su estrellato, Baby ha dejado claro que no lo aprueba, a pesar de que Druski ha explicado que todo es para reírse.

Al parecer eso no le importa a Birdman, quien se ha enfrentado en repetidas ocasiones con Druski (virtualmente) diciéndole que no siga adelante, a menudo de una manera bastante amenazante, lo que parece legítimo.

Bill Maher launched on public schools Friday night, and it's hard to argue with the premise ... public schools are failing -- failing students AND teachers -- and maybe the "old" way of running schools should be revisited.

The 'Real Time' host laid out the problem with some pretty graphic video ... and it's hard to argue that the inmates are not running the asylum. Video after video shows teachers being beaten, kicked and attacked in various other ways. One in 7 teachers has been the victim of some form of physical violence at the hands of their students.

BM blames a lot of that on parents, who used to have teachers' backs ... now their kids can do no wrong.

On a hilarious note, Bill notes 20 years ago kids looked like Britney Spears in that famous music video. Today, they look more like Brit dancing with knives.

And speaking of celebs, Maher is incredulous people like LeBron, George Clooney, Kanye and others have opened their own schools ... as in why does that make the school attractive to parents?

will.i.am and Van Jones want minorities to be at the forefront of tech space -- so they hosted a full-blown summit in L.A. to raise awareness for its future leaders.

The shindig was billed "Make Wakanda Real" -- like bringing the gadgets found in "Black Panther" to life -- and was held inside Will's FYI Campus Thursday night.

Tiffany Haddish, Ashton Kutcher, Jason Lee, and Quincy Jones III were just some of the supporting guests, as were dozens of innovators, tech experts and entrepreneurs.

Ashton helped raise hundreds of millions of dollars through his VC firm earlier in the year and stressed to the summit how he believes AI could help bridge the gap for underserved communities in the medical and legal realms.

LinkedIn cofounder Reid Hoffman, actor Boris Kodjoe, InfectionAI co-founder Mustafa Suleyman, Waye Talks founder Sinead Bovell, Black Ambition Opportunity Fund CEO Felecia Hatcher also tuned in virtually to lend their various expertise to the panels.

Naturally, the biggest topic of the evening was the boom of AI ... and the Black Eyed Peas frontman got a crash course during his panel with Van and 1500 Or Nothin' producer Larrance “Rance” Dopson debating with an AI bot!!!

Will was arguing the case that AI could end up sentient and conquering humans and exchanged in back-and-forth banter with the CPU.

A husband's going viral for putting a Taylor Swift tip jar in his house, and making his wife pay up for every mention of the pop star OR her boyfriend, Travis Kelce!

Maryland resident Dana Rice shared the clip of her hubby's new "invention," showing him clearly fed up with the Taylor/Travis chatter going on around their home these days ... prompting him to tape a sign with the new house rules on a tall glass.

It says, "Any mention of T. Swift and you owe $0.25" ... adding, "I can't take it anymore." And yes, there's a footnote reminding Dana the Kansas City Chiefs star is included in the deal.

Dana says she became a Swiftie when Taylor launched her "Eras" tour back in March ... and now fellow fans are coming to her defense in the comments -- one jokingly wrote, "25 cents is a small price to pay to spread the gospel."

Dana slips up pretty early, BTW ... saying they both were recently on 'SNL' -- referring to their brief cameos last month on the show's season premiere. As you know, that's when the entire country was goin' nuts over their relationship.

As we reported, the duo was spotted holding hands in NYC before their brief appearances on 'SNL' ... and they also hit up the show's after-party together.

Un marido se está volviendo viral por poner un tarro de propinas de Taylor Swift en su casa, ¡y hacer que su mujer pague cada vez que menciona a la estrella del pop o a su novio, Travis Kelce!

Dana Rice, residente de Maryland, compartió el clip de la nueva "invención" de su marido, donde se lo ve claramente harto de escuchar sobre Taylor y Travis en su casa por estos días, lo que lo llevó a establecer este curioso sistema.

En el video dice: "Cualquier mención de Taylor Swift y me tienes que pagar 0,25 dólares" y añade: "No puedo soportarlo más". En las instrucciones hay una nota al pie que le recuerda a Dana que la estrella de los Kansas City Chiefs también está incluido en el trato.

Dana dice que se convirtió en una Swiftie cuando Taylor lanzó su gira "Eras" en marzo. Ahora sus compañeros fans están saliendo en su defensa, diciendo en broma, "25 centavos es un pequeño precio a pagar para difundir el evangelio".

Dana comete un error muy rápidamente, por cierto, cuando cuenta que ambos estuvieron en Saturday Night Live recientemente para el estreno de la temporada del programa. Como ustedes saben, ahí fue cuando todo el país se volvió loco por su relación.

Como les contamos, el dúo fue visto de la mano en Nueva York antes de sus breves apariciones en SNL, y también llegaron juntos a la fiesta posterior del show.

It took just seconds for Peyton Manning and Luke Bryan to talk about Taylor Swift during the CMAs on Wednesday ... and, unfortunately for New York fans, the reference led to a hilarious crack about how terrible the Jets have been this year.

The NFL Hall of Famer and the country music star hosted the annual awards show ... and as part of their roles as anchors, the two gave an opener full of jokes.

Of course, that meant there was definitely a mention of Swift and her new relationship with Travis Kelce ... which then turned into a jab at the 4-4 Jets.

"Luke," Manning said into the mic onstage, "you know the difference between Taylor Swift and the New York Jets?"

"Uh, Taylor can sell out a stadium?" Bryan responded ... before Manning cracked, "You nailed it!"

The barb was met with a mix of laughs and groans -- before Manning chuckled, "I had you do that punchline, Luke, so I wouldn't get in trouble."

The duo's opener also included Peyton singing some country music classics ... as well as a quip about Eli Manning getting a face tattoo in honor of Jelly Roll.

Before this sweet baby with brown hair and blue eyes turned into a stand-up comedian, actress and podcaster ... she was bundling up on this classic plaid couch and growing up in the '80s in Washington, D.C.

After college, before she was a regular on Chelsea Handler's talk show, "Chelsea Lately," she was on MTV's "Punk'd" circa the early 2000s. And, you may have seen her roasting Joan Rivers and Donald Trump on "Comedy Central Roasts."

As of late, she's been posting lots of baby bump selfies as she's expecting her first child!

Embattled U.S. Senator Bob Menendez is hearing renewed calls for his resignation, but this time it's coming with big laughs ... courtesy of a satirical movie trailer-inspired message.

The 2-minute clip uses cinematic voice-over calling out Menendez for his long list of alleged grievances -- federal corruption and bribery, to name a couple -- and also mixes in scenes from the 1991 comedy, "What About Bob?"

The result is hilarious clips of Richard Dreyfuss complaining about Bob ... hammering home New Jersey's frustrations with the fact the Senator won't step down from office amid the ongoing investigation into his alleged crimes.

The trailer also uses actual footage and soundbites from Menendez and his wife Nadine Arslanian Menendez -- including interviews where he's asked directly, "Don't you serve your state better by resigning now?"

Of course, the Senator confidently replies nope!

The clip also mockingly refers to him as "Senator Bob Menendez (D-Egypt)" ... referring to the fact he's accused of monopolizing the Egyptian market for importing halal meat. It also calls him out for threatening the Democratic Party's majority in the Senate.

The senator's enemies are urging folks on X to repost the trailer in order to urge Menendez to resign immediately. Don't hold your breath for that, however, film reviews are pouring in for the trailer.

Jennifer Lopez is married to Ben Affleck -- and wants all the other ladies who still might have eyes for him to know it ... evidenced in how she barked at some onlookers Sunday.

The couple was out on the town in L.A. this weekend, and before Monday rolled around -- they were leaving dinner at The Ivy together ... with BA playing the gentleman for his wife and opening the car door for her, while going around the other side once she was in.

Right then and there, though, a group of women in another car driving by happened to see Ben as he was coming around to his door -- and they did a good old-fashioned hollah!

Check it out ... as soon as JLo heard 'em cat-calling at her hubby, she let 'em know how she felt about it right on the spot -- telling the ladies to "back up, bitch!" ... and in emphatic terms.

Ya gotta see the video, because J Lo's feisty clap-back is classic Jenny from the Block -- although, it's unclear if the women on the other end heard her. One person who certainly did hear her jab was Ben himself ... so he definitely knows he's hers and hers alone.

Jennifer López está casada con Ben Affleck y quiere que todas las damas que puedan tener sus ojos puestos en él lo sepan, si nos guiamos por la forma en que les ladró a algunas de sus fanáticas el domingo.

La pareja estaba en la ciudad de Los Ángeles este fin de semana, saliendo de la cena en The Ivy juntos. Ben Affleck estaba jugando el caballero con su esposa, abriéndole la puerta de su carro, mientras se daba la vuelta hacia para volver hacia su lado.

Justo en ese momento, sin embargo, un grupo de mujeres que estaba en otro vehículo vio a Ben acomodándose en su puerta y le hicieron un buen saludo al actor.

Fíjense bien, en cuanto Jennifer las escucha saludando a su marido les hizo saber lo que sentía diciéndoles a las señoras "¡atrás, zorras!", y en términos muy enfáticos.

Tienen que ver el video, porque el contragolpe de J-Lo es clásico de Jenny from the Block, aunque no está claro si las mujeres en el otro extremo la escucharon. Alguien que sin duda escuchó su contragolpe fue el propio Ben, por lo que definitivamente sabe que es de ella y solo de ella.

Kevin Brennan  —un ex escritor de "SNL" y comediante— se está refiriendo a la muerte de Matthew Perry con muy mal gusto. Esto podría explicar por qué no tiene más éxito en el mundo del espectáculo.

Kevin  —quien estuvo un período de dos años escribiendo para el famoso programa de sketches de comedia en el pasado y que alguna vez fue un cómico en ascenso— tomó Tuiter este fin de semana después de la noticia de la muerte de Perry y publicó un mensaje increíblemente insensible burlándose del difunto actor de "Friends".

Escribió: "SE AHOGÓ EN UNA TINA CALIENTE. HAHAHAHA"... mientras enlazaba a nuestra historia.

El tuit no fue visto por mucha gente —Brennan solo tiene alrededor de 5.900 seguidores más o menos— pero sin duda dejó un mal sabor en la boca de la gente que lo vio, con muchas personas furiosas en los comentarios y condenándolo por hacer una broma de tan mal gusto.

Aunque Kevin no es tan relevante como lo fue en los años 90 / principios de 2000, todavía tiene una famosa conexión con Hollywood a través de su hermano menor Neal Brennan, de quien está distanciado. Neal, por supuesto, es el cocreador y guionista de "Chappelle's Show".

Neal y Kevin se pelearon hace años y el hermano pequeño se forjó un sólido camino. Neal ha escrito para un montón de programas, e incluso tiene su propio especial de comedia en Netflix, mientras que Kevin presenta un podcast bastante oscuro y hace actuaciones aquí y allá.

Vale la pena repetir que Neal NO es cercano a Kevin y basándonos en las entrevistas que ha hecho últimamente, se puede decir que es un tema delicado. Podemos notar rápidamtene que sus personalidades son muy diferentes.

Por supuesto, los comentarios groseros de Kevin no son en absoluto un reflejo de Neal. Podemos notar que se ocupa de sus asuntos y se centra en su trabajo y que no ha hablado de Perry o "Friends" en lo absoluto públicamente.

Kevin parece que todavía se imagina a sí mismo en un stand-up, y se la pasa haciendo comentarios acerca de los comediantes con los que sin duda alguna vez se ceodeó. Sin embargo sus últimos comentarios están lejos de ser un asunto de risa. Neal no parece haber reaccionado al post de su hermano.

Kevin Brennan -- a former 'SNL' writer and comedian -- is making light of Matthew Perry's passing in a real ugly way ... which may speak to why he isn't more successful in showbiz.

Kevin -- who had a 2-year stint writing for the famed sketch comedy show way back when, and who was once a rising comic -- took to Twitter this weekend after news of Perry's death broke ... and posted an incredibly insensitive message mocking the late 'Friends' actor.

He wrote, "DROWNED IN A HOT TUB. HAHAHAHA" ... this while linking back to our story.

The tweet wasn't viewed by very many people -- KB only has about 5,900 followers or so anyway -- but it certainly left a bad taste in the mouths of folks who did see it ... with many people calling him out in the comments and bashing him for making a joke out of it.

While Kevin isn't nearly as relevant as he was in the '90s/early 2000s ... he still has a famous connection to mainstream Hollywood through his younger brother Neal Brennan -- from whom he's estranged. Neal, of course, is the co-creator/writer of 'Chappelle's Show.'

Neal and Kevin had a falling out years ago -- and the younger sibling went on to forge a solid path for himself. Neal's written for tons of shows, and even has his own Netflix comedy special now ... whereas Kevin hosts a pretty obscure podcast, and does gigs here and there.

It bears repeating ... Neal is NOT close to Kevin -- and based on interviews NB has done of late, where he was asked about his relationship with Kevin ... you can tell it's a sensitive topic. Based on this reaction to Perry alone, you'll see their personalities are very different.

So, of course, Kevin's crude remarks here are in no way a reflection of Neal -- who, as far as we can tell, minds his business and focuses on his work ... and who doesn't seem to have talked about Perry or 'Friends,' for that matter, very much at all publicly.

Kevin appears to still fancy himself standup-adjacent -- regularly commenting on mainstream comedians that Neal undoubtedly rubs shoulders with ... although, what he pulled here is far from a laughing matter. Neal doesn't seem to have reacted to his brother's post.

Peyton Manning and Pat McAfee are back together on the football field again ... and believe it or not, it's Pat who's training the Hall of Fame quarterback -- how to punt!

The former Indianapolis Colts teammates reunited at Lucas Oil Stadium this week for a Halloween episode of Peyton Places on ESPN+ (produced by Omaha Productions) ... where Peyton got a personal tutorial on how to perfect the "coffin corner."

If you're not hip to what a coffin corner is ... it's when the punter kicks the ball between the opponent's 5-yard line and the endzone, giving the offense terrible field position.

"Here Peyton, you try," McAfee said. "Nobody wants to see me punt the ball. They wanna see you do terrible with this."

Considering it's the Halloween episode, they actually placed a literal coffin on the field as a target ... and Peyton had a helluva time getting it down.

But after several tries, Manning finally had some success -- all while wearing a vest and slacks!

"You just hit it," McAfee yelled. "Let's go!!!"

Of course, getting trained by McAfee helps -- the guy's a 2-time Pro Bowl punter who booted more than 575 punts for over 26,000 yards.

The guys were teammates on the Colts from 2009 to 2011 ... right before Peyton signed with the Denver Broncos, where he won his 2nd Super Bowl.

Pat and Peyton are both TV guys now -- McAfee has his show on ESPN, and Manning has the famous "Monday Night Football" Manningcast with his brother, Eli (which airs on ESPN 2).

Cam Newton is adding to his roster of kids -- his comedian/actress girlfriend just announced she's pregnant with his eighth child ... calling herself "baby momma #3."

Jasmin "Watch Jazzy" Brown broke the news with a photo of her bump while announcing her newest tour on Friday ... which included a bunch of baby-related imagery like a pacifier and footprints.

"Third times a charm tour 😉," Brown said in the IG caption, "Coming to a comedy stage near you."

The tour name is a clear reference to the fact Jazz will be the third woman to have a child with the NFL quarterback.

Brown has made fun of her role as "stepmom" during her standup routine in the past ... but has also dealt with people who criticized her for dating a man who has kids with two other women.

Newton -- who last played with the Panthers in 2021 -- came to her defense recently by clapping back at an internet troll in Brown's comments.

"Welp that's why I ain't with you," Newton said. "LOL it's levels to this Queen and if someone is worth it, yo ass would do a lot of things you ONCE said you wouldn't do."

"I hope you find someone though, I would hate for anyone to go through life alone. I would hate it there lol."

It wasn't the first time Newton and Brown's love life was met with backlash -- Jasmin was also ripped for saying on the "Lovers & Friends with Shan Boodram" podcast that she's a submissive woman in her relationship.

Despite the hate, Brown's fans are flooding her comments with positivity ... and wish her and Newton the best.

Michael Blackson can't wait to get into the ring after inking a deal with Celebrity Boxing ... and, naturally, he's got his eyes on a bout with fellow comedian Kevin Hart.

The actor and comedian just signed his contract with CB founder Damon Feldman, and they're both pumped, and Michael's trash talking is already on point ... as he's calling out other celebs.

Clearly, he wants a piece of Kevin, first and foremost -- they've had beef in the past, which they ultimately squashed a couple years ago, but it sounds like MB may be reversing course.

Other celebs on Michael's radar include DC Young Fly, DeRay Davis and Katt Williams ... and he's got some choice words for all three.

You know Michael's going to promote the hell out of his eventual fight ... and he's already getting his Don King on.
