Crime & Arrests

Lil Durk was charged with 2 additional felony counts in his murder-for-hire plot on Friday ... the Chicago rap star is being accused of conspiracy and using interstate facilities to assist in the assassination of Quando Rondo's cousin.

Feds outlined the new charges and are essentially treating Durk as the kingpin of the operation in a superseding federal grand jury indictment.

Durk and his 5 co-defendants have yet to enter a plea ... the charges are stemming from the August 2022 shooting outside a Los Angeles gas station close to the Beverly Center shopping mall.

Diddy's Beverly Hills mansion has become a white elephant on the real estate market, because prospective buyers have shown ZERO interest since it went up for sale 2 months ago.

Real estate sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ ... there have been "only a few" potential buyers who have even walked through the mansion that was the subject of a massive Homeland Security raid back in March. We're told no one has shown any interest in buying the place.

Our sources say a married couple recently looked at the house and the woman was "creeped out" and couldn't wait to leave.

Tekashi 6ix9ine may have to sit in jail for another month ... 'cause the federal government is recommending he serve 30 days for violating the terms of his supervised release.

According to new documents obtained by TMZ ... the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York says Tekashi will appear in court next week and admit to the violations the government has charged him with.

In terms of punishment, the U.S. Attorney will recommend he immediately head back to jail for 30 days. Once out, they will want Tekashi to begin another year of supervised release.

Billie Eilish is unhappy with the outcome of the 2024 presidential election ... ripping into President-elect Donald Trump during her show in Tennessee.

Watch the video ... Billie confessed she contemplated canceling Wednesday's show after Trump's big win, but chose to power on.

Artem Chigvintsev says his bank account took a huge hit -- losing $100,000 in income -- after he was arrested for domestic violence against his estranged wife Nikki Garcia (Bella).

According to new court docs, obtained by TMZ, Artem says he was still a working dancer despite Nikki's claims to the contrary after he lost his gig on "Dancing With The Stars." Artem says he regularly picked up dance jobs on Saturdays and Sundays, and each project would last 20 weekends.

But, after his bust, Artem says his mug shot spread across the media based on Nikki's false allegations, and his job opportunities dried up, leading to his $100,000 erosion of income.

The man who dropped the n-word multiple times in a wild scuffle with police officers during the Georgia vs. Florida college football game on Saturday allegedly threatened a woman just moments before the chaotic incident went down.

Jacksonville Sheriff's officers wrote in a police report, obtained by TMZ Sports, that officers were first called to the scene after a female security guard at Everbank Stadium said the man -- ID'ed as Walter Brown -- had made a threat toward her.

The cops stated in the docs the woman had tried to eject Brown from the venue over it -- but he was combative ... and said "he was not going anywhere."

Elon Musk went in hard on Jennifer Lopez ... saying it's rich she's warning people about Donald Trump but was mum about ex-boyfriend Sean "Diddy" Combs for all these years.

Musk appeared on Joe Rogan's podcast and did not mince words ... "J Lo was like his ex-girlfriend and it's like now deciding she's like warning people against Trump. How many people did she warn against Diddy, right? Oh zero, ok. Maybe we shouldn't trust her."

As you know, J Lo and Diddy dated from 1999 to 2001. Several allegations against Diddy supposedly occurred during that time frame, including an alleged assault against a 13-year-old girl.

Gayle King's weighing in on Megan Thee Stallion's recent confession that she fibbed about not hooking up with Tory Lanez -- and honestly, she's not taking it too personally.

We caught up with Gayle on Tuesday, and she told TMZ that Megan's lie during her 2022 "CBS Mornings" interview about the July 2020 shooting is ultimately on the star herself -- but there are no hard feelings on her end, and she's still totally rooting for her.

Gayle dives deeper in the clip, explaining she initially wanted to give Megan space to share her side, especially since so many people doubted her story. Ironically, Megan still ended up lying to her -- but Gayle stands by her decision to give her the platform.

New body cam footage from the Florida Gators-Georgia Bulldogs game on Saturday shows more fighting in the crowd between cops and a spectator — with the n-word being thrown around like punches.

Check it out ... it starts off with two cops — one Black and the other white — approaching a Caucasian man kicking back in a stadium chair with a woman standing behind him.

The officers tell the man he needs to move because he's sitting on private property — but the guy doesn't budge and threatens to "kill a cop."

A new witness in the Diddy criminal case says he has a manuscript belonging to Diddy's late girlfriend, Kim Porter ... but her best friend tells us Kim never tried to write a book.

Lawanda Lane, Kim's best friend and the caregiver of Kim and Diddy's twin daughters, tells TMZ ... she was best friends with Kim for 30 years, including 20 years living under the same roof, and there was never a manuscript written by Kim.

Kim's BFF tells us she was with Kim every day and Kim never wrote anything down ... and she says the family doesn't know who new Diddy witness Courtney Burgess is, even though the guy claims he's one of Kim's former associates.

Diddy's kids are still proving they're in his corner -- they banded together to wish him a happy birthday as he sits behind bars.

In an IG post, the disgraced mogul's 7 kiddos joined forces to sing happy birthday to Diddy as he turned 55 on Monday -- and they even let baby Love steal the spotlight for her own rendition of the song before Diddy gushed on the other end of the line how he couldn't wait to see them all.

At first glance, it looks like a sweet family moment, with the kids going all out in his honor -- complete with Love almost face-planting into the birthday cake they lit for their dad.

Danica Patrick is taking shots at Kamala Harris' bevy of A-list backers ... accusing the group of Hollywood elites of having ties to disgraced music mogul Diddy.

The retired NASCAR driver slammed the Vice President's celebrity supporters during what she said was an unscripted speech at Donald Trump's rally in Pennsylvania Sunday.

Danica confirmed to the crowd she was "winging" her address, noting she wasn't "paid to be here" and that she didn't "need a telephone" to give her speech. That was an apparent dig at rapper Cardi B, who read off her phone after facing teleprompter issues during Harris' rally in Milwaukee Friday.

Diddy's lawyers have asked a judge to restrict statements made by potential witnesses and their lawyers outside of court ... citing one grand jury witness in particular who keeps speaking to the press.

The music producer’s team filed the documents Sunday ... asking the judge to expedite the process of responding to Diddy's motion for a gag order because one witness -- a man named Courtney Burgess -- has given multiple interviews in recent days.

TMZ caught up with Burgess and his attorney, Ariel Mitchell, outside the courthouse Thursday ... with Mitchell telling us Courtney was called to testify because he has or has seen salacious videos of Diddy and his celebrity friends.

Los Angeles Lakers player Jaxson Hayes went on a rampage prior to his 2021 arrest -- verbally abusing and putting his hands on his then-girlfriend Sofia Jamora during an intense altercation ... and it was all captured on surveillance video.

TMZ Sports obtained footage and images from a source close to Jamora ... which are tied to her ongoing lawsuit against Hayes.

The July 2021 dispute -- which was sparked after Jamora blamed Hayes' dogs for injuring her much smaller dog -- shows the 7-footer appearing to pull the model from one room and into another around 1:35 AM ... as she pled with him to let her go.

Diddy's methods of keeping his business affairs have been shrouded in mystery, but now TMZ can show how -- 'cause we've obtained a standard Combs NDA studio attendees were required to sign.

The document -- a pretty standard non-disclosure agreement -- prevents signees from sharing information related to Diddy, his family members, current or former partners, spouses, friends of business associates.

The NDA tells signees not to photograph, film or record -- or, have another person photograph film or record -- Diddy or anyone in his orbit without his written consent ... and, specifically names social media sites where attendees can't post photos Diddy doesn't sign off on.

A man who claims he has sex tapes from Diddy's parties, and the real Kim Porter memoir says he's been subpoenaed by a federal grand jury.

We got attorney Ariel Mitchell and her client, Courtney Burgess, Thursday outside the federal courthouse in lower Manhattan and they told us they'd just finished testifying for the grand jury.

Courtney says he was initially contacted by agents from the Department of Homeland Security ... one of the federal agencies involved in the Diddy criminal case.
