Multiple sources with direct knowledge of the situation tell TMZ ... the FBI is assisting the Cass County Sheriff's Office to investigate the Mahomes incident, and joining forces with the Leawood Police Department to probe the Kelce crime.

The FBI getting involved means this is a pretty big deal, and not just because Patrick and Travis are famous athletes.

2:50 PM PT -- Sources familiar with the situation tell TMZ ... Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift didn't take any chances during last month’s break-in at his home.

10:54 AM PT -- Diddy's attorneys tell TMZ ... "Ms. Tanea Wallace has no credibility and her claims about 'freak offs' and minors are completely and categorically false. As we've said before, Mr. Combs cannot respond to every new publicity stunt, even in response to claims that are facially ridiculous. Mr. Combs has full confidence in the facts and the integrity of the judicial process. In court, the truth will prevail: that the accusations against Mr. Combs are pure fiction."

A woman who says she was at what she believes was a Diddy "Freak Off" says there were minors present ... minors surrounded by adults.

Tanea Wallace, an aspiring singer-songwriter, says she was invited to Diddy's party by a Saudi Prince who flew her from L.A. to Miami. She spoke with TMZ as part of our new documentary, "TMZ Presents The Downfall of Diddy: Inside the Freak Offs."

Your words have warmed my heart and made me feel seen in a way I never imagined. As a survivor of domestic violence, I wanted to share that you are not alone," 27-year-old Jamora wrote on Instagram Monday morning.

"I loved someone I trusted with my safety and well-being. Going through that experience was difficult, but every day now, I feel grateful simply to be here, healing and reclaiming my life.

There is help out there, and there is hope."

Los Angeles County D.A. George Gascón is setting the record straight, saying his push to recommend resentencing for the Menendez brothers isn’t about public buzz or winning an election -- it’s about doing what he personally believes is right.

Judge Mathis says Erik and Lyle Menendez deserve to be free men ... telling us new evidence they were allegedly molested by the father they killed totally changes things.

We got the TV judge Thursday at the Fairmont Century Plaza in Los Angeles, and our photog asked him about the Menendez brothers and their bid to get out of prison after nearly 35 years behind bars.

Judge Mathis says if he was handling their resentencing case, he would reduce the length of their punishment on account of the molestation claims and send them home ASAP.

3:54 PM PT -- Young Thug could be home very soon ... he was just sentenced and may not have to serve any more time behind bars if he successfully completes 15 years of probation.

On Thursday afternoon, Judge Whitaker imposed the sentence, which amounts to 40 years in total.

It's a bit complicated, but here's the gist -- he was given time served for 5 of the years plus 15 years on probation.

There is also a backloaded 20-year prison sentence that could kick in after probation ... but he'll only have to serve that time behind bars if he doesn't successfully complete his probation term.

If he keeps his nose clean during probation, the judge said that part of the sentence would be commuted.

His lawyer Brian Steel also requested he still be allowed to associate with co-defendants, his brother Quantavious "Unfoonk" Grier and Sergio "Gunna" Kitchens, in order to continue his rap career.

The state had been recommending Thug serve at least 25 years in prison, but it appears the judge went in a very different direction.

Young Thug decided to enter a guilty plea in his YSL RICO case ... which will bring an end to his part in what has become the longest trial in Georgia history.

D.L. Hughley and Cedric The Entertainer say Black households don't need to throw out all their baby oil in the wake of the Diddy indictment ... but don't expect to find any bottles in Hughley's house!!!

The comedians were out to dinner in Beverly Hills on Tuesday night when a photog asked them if Diddy's scandal had ruined baby oil for the culture. The feds have said they seized 1,000 bottles of baby oil from Diddy's homes, claiming it played a big part in his alleged "Freak Off" parties.

D.L. says as long as the baby oil is full of aloe vera and not "drugs" it's kosher ... but as far as he's concerned, he's never using it again.

Sharon Osbourne says Erik and Lyle Menendez are right where they deserve to be ... in prison.

Sharon and Jack say the brothers should remain in lockup ... pointing out they shot their parents to death with shotguns ... and they don't think the molestation allegations against Jose Menendez should be enough to spring Erik and Lyle.
