Acusan al ex marido de Lauren Boebert de pelearse con su hijo y provocar el caos en un bar

actualización

11:33 AM PT -- La policía de Silt dice que no encontraron pruebas creíbles de violencia doméstica contra la diputada Boebert en su investigación sobre el altercado del sábado en Miner's Claim, Colorado.

El departamento dio a conocer los resultados de sus hallazgos el miércoles y básicamente están señalando a Jayson, diciendo que Lauren fue cooperativa y servicial esa noche, mientras que él estaba "altamente intoxicado, gritandole a los oficiales y no cooperó con la investigación".

Dicen que están cerrando el asunto por falta de pruebas de violencia doméstica contra Lauren y van a dejar que la oficina del Fiscal se haga cargo de todo lo demás que se le acusa a Jayson.

TMZ ha obtenido las órdenes de detención emitidas contra el ex marido de Lauren Boebert, las cuales describen dos incidentes diferentes que pintan a Jayson como alguien fuera de control.

En los documentos del altercado del sábado por la noche entre la congresista y su ex —obtenido por TMZ— los oficiales dicen que recibieron una llamada denunciando violencia doméstica, solo para recibir otra llamada de Boebert... en el despacho destacaron algunas partes como: "Acabo de tocar tu nariz" y Jayson gritando: "Ella me dio un puñetazo en la cara".

Finalmente, cuando los oficiales llegaron, dicen que se encontraron con Lauren y Jayson en el exterior del restaurante Miner's Claim, donde determinaron que Lauren y Jayson habían llegado allí para arreglar las cosas y discutir el futuro de su relación. Boebert es citado en los documentos diciendo que estaban tratando de llegar a buenos términos, pero las cosas se pusieron feas.

Por la razón que sea, los policías dicen que las cosas parecen haberse puesto físicas. Jayson estaba reclamando que Lauren le dio un puñetazo en la cara, Lauren dijo que simplemente lo tocó con el dedo. Los policías dicen que Jayson comenzó a actuar bulliciosamente y se negó a permanecer quieto y seguir las órdenes, supuestamente exigiendo más bebida y negándose a abandonar el lugar cuando el manager se lo exigió.

Después de un montón de idas y venidas, los documentos dicen Jayson finalmente tuvo que ser "escoltado físicamente fuera del lugar" e incluso trató de detener a los oficiales "agarrando el marco de la puerta." Esa noche no fue detenido por lo sucedido, ni tampoco Lauren. Una orden de detención por separado fue emitida por otro presunto incidente.

lo que realmente está pasando

La Oficina del Sheriff del Condado de Garfield dice que recibieron una llamada del hijo de Luren y Jason de 18 años de edad —Tyler— para informar de algún tipo de altercado físico relacionado con su padre.

En pocas palabras, Tyler alegó que Jayson estaba en su casa familiar y se enojó porque Tyler tenía a su bebé durmiendo en un cesto de la ropa con la ropa en ella, esto supuestamente estalló en una pelea entre padre e hijo, con Tyler diciendo que Jayson metió su pulgar en la boca.

Tyler también afirma que Jayson agarró un rifle y Tyler finalmente llamó a su madre —Lauren— quien le dijo que llamara al 911. Cuando Tyler les dijo lo que pasó, los oficiales fueron capaces de obtener una orden de arresto contra Jayson por uso prohibido de un arma, acoso y asalto en tercer grado.

Hemos llegado a la oficina de Boebert para hacer comentarios, pero hasta ahora no hay respuesta.

Rep. Lauren Boebert Ex Accused of Fighting Son, Causing Chaos ... New Mug Shot Released

update

11:33 AM PT -- Silt PD is now saying they found no credible evidence of DV against Rep. Lauren Boebert in their investigation of Saturday's altercation at Miner's Claim in Colorado.

The department released the results of their findings Wednesday, and are basically pointing the finger at Jayson here -- saying Lauren was cooperative and helpful that night, whereas they claim Jayson was "highly intoxicated, yelling at officers, and was uncooperative with the investigation."

They say due to the lack of evidence of domestic violence against Lauren, they're closing the matter ... and letting the D.A.'s office deal with Jayson on everything else he's accused of.

TMZ has obtained the arrest warrants issued for Lauren Boebert's ex-husband -- describing two different alleged incidents over the course of a few days that paint Jayson as pretty out of control ... at least according to law enforcement.

First, in the docs pertaining to Saturday evening's altercation between the Congresswoman and her ex -- obtained by TMZ -- cops say they got a call for potential DV, only to then get another call from Boebert herself ... which dispatch says featured LB saying "I just touched your nose" and Jayson yelling, "She punched me in the face."

Eventually when officers arrived, they say they ran into Lauren and Jayson on the outside the Miner's Claim restaurant in Silt, Co -- where they determined Lauren and Jayson had come there to hash things out and discuss the future of their relationship. Boebert is quoted in the docs as saying they were trying to get on good terms, but things got ugly.

For whatever reason, cops say things appear to have gotten physical -- Jayson was claiming Lauren punched him in the face, Lauren said it was nothing but a touch with her finger. As they were trying to go back and forth and collect info from them and witnesses, cops say Jayson started acting boisterously and refused to stay put and follow commands -- allegedly demanding more booze and refusing to leave the joint when he was asked by management.

After a lot of back and forth, the docs say Jayson had to eventually be "physically escorted off the premise" and even tried to stop officers "by grabbing the door frame." He was not arrested that evening over whatever happened, and neither was Lauren. Fast-forward to Tuesday, and a separate arrest warrant was issued over another alleged incident.

010824_ufo_promo_kal
WHAT'S REALLY GOING ON

The Garfield County Sheriff's Office says they got a call from Lauren and Jayson's 18-year-old son, Tyler, to report some kind of physical altercation Tyler claims occurred with his dad.

Long story short, Tyler alleged that Jayson was at their family home and got pissed because Tyler had his baby sleeping in a laundry basket with clothes in it, which allegedly erupted into a brawl between father and son, with Tyler saying Jayson stuck his thumb in his mouth.

Tyler also claims Jayson grabbed a rifle at one point, and Tyler eventually called his mom, Lauren, who told him to call 911 ... and when Tyler told them what happened, officers were able to get an arrest warrant for Jayson for prohibited use of a weapon, harassment, and assault in the third degree.

We've reached out to Boebert's office for comment ... so far, no word back.

Hunter Biden's causing chaos in Congress ... with Republicans and Democrats at each other's throats over a "white privilege" jab aimed at President Biden's son.

Hunter made a surprise appearance Wednesday on Capitol Hill, strolling into a hearing where lawmakers were starting the process of holding him in criminal contempt of Congress ... and his presence caused quite the stir.

South Carolina Rep. Nancy Mace quickly took aim at Hunter, saying ... "You are the epitome of white privilege, coming into the Oversight Committee, spitting in our face, ignoring a Congressional subpoena to be deposed, what are you afraid of?

Nancy didn't stop there, adding ... "You have no balls to come up here."

Hunter sat quietly as chaos ensued with lawmakers yelling over one another before order was somewhat restored.

Soon after, Hunter left the room and the attention followed ... but the "white privilege" remark left a mark ... at least with Rep. Jasmine Crockett, who said it was a "spit in the face" as a Black woman. Jasmine ripped into Nancy and the GOP, saying if anyone is the epitome of white privilege it's them.

BTW, there was even more chaos once Hunter abruptly left the room ... he was being followed by a massive crush of reporters -- a couple of whom asked him about his prior drug use, particularly as it pertains to crack. Check it out ... it's absolutely wild.

Pete Davidson Estaba drogado con ketamina en el funeral de Aretha Franklin

Hay buenas razones para decir que Pete Davidson estaba cometiendo una falta de respeto grave en el funeral de Aretha Franklin, tras aparecer drogado con ketamina, según él.

El comediante detalló el incidente en su especial de Netflix "Turbo Fonzarelli", donde dijo ingeniosamente que estaba tan drogado en el servicio de 2018 que se acercó a la familia de la difunta y les dijo: "¡Hey! Solo estoy aquí para pagar mis R-E-S-P-E-C-Ts!".

Yeesh ... Eso es ser malo.

La ex estrella de SNL bromea con que Aretha no estaba cerca para saber que estaba bajo la influencia de las drogas, pero si hubiera estado le habría preguntado "qué coño" estaba haciendo en su funeral y quién demonios era en primer lugar.

Es una pregunta razonable, ya que en ese momento no era tan famoso y solo asistió al servicio como acompañante de su entonces prometida Ariana Grande. Aun así, ya era bastante conocido.

Ahora Pete Davidson agrega que se sentía avergonzado de andar haciendo cosas mientras usaba ketamina -la que tomó durante 4 años para tratar la depresión-, ya que la droga viene con una serie de efectos secundarios disociativos y alucinógenos. Pareciera que Pete ya no consume ketamina.

A la audiencia le pareció una historia divertidísima, aunque él está algo avergonzado de sus actos en aquel momento y quizá con razón. Es una confesión bastante salvaje. Dicho esto, ha intentado controlar el mal hábito con 7 sesiones de rehabilitación a lo largo de los años.

Junio 2023 fue la última vez que se registró en rehabilitación. También abordó su trastorno de estrés postraumático y trastorno límite de la personalidad.

Visto con Madeline
TMZ.com

En medio de sus problemas personales, ha sido etiquetado como una especie de mujeriego y nos alegramos de verlo feliz con su nueva novia Madelyn Cline en un reciente clip que obtuvimos. Por cierto, Pete evitó hablar de su vida amorosa en el especial, así que no hay jugosos detalles sobre ello. Tendremos que conformarnos con el material de siempre.

PETE DAVIDSON I WAS HIGH ON KETAMINE AT ARETHA FRANKLIN'S FUNERAL

Pete Davidson was arguably serving up some serious disrespect at Aretha Franklin's funeral ... turning up to the 2018 service high on ketamine, at least according to him.

The comic detailed the drug-induced blunder in his Netflix special "Turbo Fonzarelli" ... the quipping that he was so high at the 2018 service, that he went up to the late icon's family, telling them, "Hey! I'm just here to pay my R-E-S-P-E-C-Ts!" Yeesh ... that's bad.

The ex-SNL star jokes Aretha wasn't around to know he was under the influence ... but if she were, she'd ask "what the f***" he was doing at her funeral and who the hell he was in the first place.

That's a fair assessment -- as at the time, he wasn't that famous and only attended the service as then-fiancée Ariana Grande's plus one. Still though, he was pretty known.

Now, Pete adds he was embarrassed being out and about while using ketamine -- which he used for 4 years to treat depression -- though the drug comes with a range of dissociative and hallucinogenic side effects. It doesn't seem like Pete's using ketamine anymore.

The audience clearly found the story hilarious ... but Pete sounds low-key ashamed of his actions at the time -- and perhaps for good reason, 'cause it is a pretty wild confession. That said, he's attempted to get the bad habit under control with 7 rehab stints over the years.

June 2023 was when he last checked in to rehab ... also addressing his post-traumatic stress disorder and borderline personality disorder.

Amid his personal woes, he's been tagged as somewhat of a ladies' man ... and we were pleased to see him looking happy with his new GF Madelyn Cline in a recent clip we obtained. BTW, Pete avoided much of his own love life in the special -- so no juicy tidbits about the ladies he bangs. We'll just have to settle for good old-fashioned material!

Melania Trump Mother Amalija Dead at 78 ... Had Recently Fallen Ill

Melania Trump's mother has passed away -- this according to the former First Lady.

The ex-FLOTUS announced the sad news about her mom, Amalija Knavs, Tuesday on X -- writing, "It is with deep sadness that I announce the passing of my beloved mother, Amalija."

She adds, "Amalija Knavs was a strong woman who always carried herself with grace, warmth, and dignity.  She was entirely devoted to her husband, daughters, grandson, and son-in-law. We will miss her beyond measure and continue to honor and love her legacy."

Melania did not reveal a cause of death -- but her mother's health had recently been in the news ... with her husband, Donald Trump, reportedly telling a NYE crowd at Mar-a-Lago that Amalija had fallen "very ill" ... while suggesting she was hospitalized in Miami.

Melania wasn't on hand for Trump's New Year's bash ... and he sent well-wishes to both.

010824_ufo_promo_kal
WHAT'S REALLY GOING ON

Amalija was of European descent, but actually immigrated to the States and became a U.S. citizen alongside her husband, Victor, in 2018 -- something MT touted at the time with pride. Before that, they'd been here in America through green card sponsorships, via their daughter.

She was reportedly close with Melania, and had even started to grow a solid relationship with her grandson, Barron. Amalija had been living at Mar-a-Lago of late -- and before that, they even lived part-time at the White House ... having been spotted countless times.

She was 78.

La hija de Coretta Scott King parece disparar contra Jonathan Majors

La hija de Coretta Scott King parece estar atacando a Jonathan Majors después de que el actor mencionara a la viuda del Dr. Martin Luther King en su primera entrevista desde que fue declarado culpable de agresión y acoso.

La Dra. Bernice King, hija menor de Coretta y MLK, parece haber arremetido contra Jonathan en una publicación en las redes sociales el martes, diciendo: "Mi madre no era un accesorio".

121323-jonathan-Majors,-Grace-Jabbari,-michelle-obama,and-coretta-scott-king-audio-3---Getty-AP
siguiendo el ejemplo

Recordemos que el juicio por agresión de Jonathan incluyó un audio de él diciéndole a su ex novia Grace Jabbari —la que fue condenado por agredir y acosar— que fuera más como Coretta y Michelle Obama mientras declaraba: "Soy un gran hombre".

Majors volvió a invocar el nombre de Coretta en una entrevista con ABC —que se emitió el lunes— para elogiar el apoyo inquebrantable de su novia Meagan Good durante el juicio.

Jonathan le dijo de Megan: "Ella es un ángel, me ha sostenido como una Coretta. Estoy tan bendecido de tenerla".

Ha habido una tonelada de reacciones en línea acerca de Jonathan usando el nombre de Coretta de nuevo, y mientras Bernice no lo está llamando por su nombre, parece bastante claro que es a él a quien se están refiriendo aquí.

Bernice dice que su madre "era una defensora de la paz antes de conocer a mi padre y fue fundamental para que él hablara en contra de la guerra de Vietnam" y añade: "Por favor, entiendan, mi mamá era una fuerza de la naturaleza".

El momento de la supuesta pelea también es digno de mención... el próximo lunes la nación celebrará el Día de Martin Luther King.

Jason Momoa y Lisa Bonet resuelven su divorcio un día después de presentarlo

Jason Momoa y Lisa Bonet parecen haber tenido su divorcio resuelto antes de ir a la corte, porque solo un día después, ¡todo el asunto está oficialmente resuelto!

Ya se ha dictado sentencia en el caso de divorcio de la ex pareja - que, de nuevo, acaba de comenzar oficialmente cuando Lisa presentó ayer una demanda de disolución del matrimonio. De acuerdo con los nuevos documentos legales, obtenidos por TMZ, todo está envuelto en un bonito y limpio lazo.

Según el acuerdo, todo, desde la custodia de sus 2 hijos, manutención de los hijos, manutención del cónyuge y casi todo lo demás fue negociado en privado.

El papeleo señala que JM y LB compartirán la custodia física y compartida de sus hijos, Lola y Nakoa, y compartirán los gastos de manutención de los niños sin ningún pago formal de manutención infantil.

Lisa y Jason también han renunciado a sus derechos a recibir manutención conyugal. Ambos están cargados - así que tal vez esto no es tan sorprendente tampoco.

Lo interesante acerca de esto es que Lisa y Jason no estarían técnicamente solteros —al menos ante los ojos de la ley— hasta julio de este año, cuando los documentos dicen que su estado de soltero será oficialmente restaurado.

El anuncio de su separación hace dos años fue impactante, pero enterarse de que habían estado separados desde 2020 fue aún más sorprendente. Suena como si hubieran estado tramando un plan de salida entre ellos desde hace un tiempo, porque este es uno de los divorcios más rápidos de la historia.

Coretta Scott King's Daughter Taking Shot At Jonathan Majors?!? 'My Mother Wasn't A Prop'

Coretta Scott King's daughter appears to be taking a swipe at Jonathan Majors after the actor name-dropped Dr. Martin Luther King's widow in his first interview since being found guilty of assault and harassment.

Dr. Bernice King, Coretta and MLK's youngest daughter, seemingly slammed Jonathan in a social media post Tuesday, saying ... "My mother wasn't a prop."

121323-jonathan-Majors,-Grace-Jabbari,-michelle-obama,and-coretta-scott-king-audio-3---Getty-AP
FOLLOW THEIR EXAMPLE!!!

Remember ... Jonathan's assault trial included audio of him telling his ex-girlfriend Grace Jabbari -- the one he was convicted of assaulting and harassing -- to be more like Coretta and Michelle Obama while declaring, "I'm a great man."

Majors again invoked Coretta's name in an interview with ABC -- which aired Monday -- in praise of girlfriend Meagan Good's unwavering support during the trial.

Jonathan said of Meagan ... "She's an angel ... she's held me down like a Coretta. I'm so blessed to have her."

There's been a ton of backlash online about Jonathan using Coretta's name again ... and while Bernice is not calling him out by name, it seems pretty clear he's who she's targeting here.

Bernice says her mother "was a peace advocate before she met my father and was instrumental in him speaking out against the Vietnam War" ... and adds, "Please understand…my mama was a force."

WHAT'S REALLY GOING ON

The timing of the supposed beef is noteworthy too ... next Monday the nation will observe Martin Luther King Day.

Jason Momoa & Lisa Bonet Settle Divorce ... Just a Day After Filing!!!

Jason Momoa and Lisa Bonet appear to have had their divorce all figured out before they went to court -- 'cause just one day later ... the whole matter is officially settled!

A judgment has already been entered in the former couple's divorce case -- which, again, just officially started when Lisa filed for a dissolution of marriage yesterday. According to new legal docs, obtained by TMZ, everything's wrapped up in a nice and neat little bow.

Per the settlement, everything from custody of their 2 kids, child support, spousal support and just about everything else was hashed out privately.

The paperwork notes that JM and LB will share joint and physical custody of their children, Lola and Nakoa, and they'll share the living expenses of the kids without any formal child support payments.

Lisa and Jason have also waived their rights to receive spousal support. They're both loaded -- so maybe this isn't all that surprising either.

010924_tv_clips_lisa_bonet_jason_momoa_divorce.01_00_12_23.Still001
FINALLY FILED
TMZ.com

The one thing that's somewhat interesting about this is that Lisa and Jason won't technically be single -- at least in the eyes of the law -- until July of this year when the docs say their single status will officially be restored.

Their split announcement 2 years ago was shocking -- but learning they'd been separated since 2022 was even more surprising. Sounds like they've been hatching an exit plan among themselves for a little while now ... 'cause this is one of the fastest divorces ever.

'The Voice' Star Lauren Duski's Mother Dies By Apparent Suicide

The mother of "The Voice" star Lauren Duski appears to have died by suicide ... this after being found dead in her car with a gunshot wound, TMZ has confirmed.

According to the Tuscarora Township Police in Indian River, Michigan, officers found a car "sitting on the edge of the roadway with a female in the driver's seat slumped over" on Friday -- and paramedics were unable to find a pulse when they arrived.

Police say she had a "single gunshot wound to the chest" and a handgun was found in the car with "one round spent." TMZ confirmed with law enforcement sources the woman was Lauren's 59-year-old mother, Janis Duski.

While cops are still investigating Janis' death, it appears all signs point to it being a suicide.

Lauren said an emotional goodbye to her mother in a touching post online Monday, saying, "My mom was the greatest human I’ve ever known. There was no one who loved harder."

In the post, the season 12 contestant took time to remind people to "please talk to one another. If you’re struggling, do not be ashamed. Do not be ashamed. Do not be ashamed. Your mental health is nothing to be ashamed of and neither is talking about it."

Janis was 59.

RIP.

La madre de Lauren Duski estrella de "La Voz" es encontrada sin vida

La madre de la estrella de "The Voice" —Lauren Duski— parece haber muerto por suicidio, esto después de haber sido encontrada muerta en su carro con una herida de bala, TMZ ha confirmado.

De acuerdo con la Policía de Indian River (Michigan) los oficiales encontraron un carro "sentado en el borde de la calzada con una mujer en el asiento del conductor desplomado" el viernes... y los paramédicos la encontraron sin pulso cuando llegaron.

La policía dice que tenía una "sola herida de bala en el pecho" y se encontró una pistola en el carro con "una ronda menos." TMZ confirmó con fuentes policiales que la mujer era la madre de Lauren, Janis Duski, de 59 años.

Aunque la policía sigue investigando la muerte de Janis, parece que todo apunta a que se trata de un suicidio.

Lauren dio un emotivo adiós a su madre en un conmovedor post en línea el lunes, diciendo: "Mi mamá fue la más grande persona que he conocido. No había nadie que amara más".

En el post, la concursante de la temporada 12 se tomó su tiempo para recordarle a la gente que "por favor, hablen entre ustedes. Si tienes problemas, no te avergüences. No se avergüencen. No te avergüences. Tu salud mental no es motivo de verguenza y tampoco lo es hablar de ello".

Janis tenía 59 años.

Tristan Thompson Teams Up With Special Olympics ... Becomes Ambassador

Tristan Thompson has a new job outside of the NBA -- the Cleveland Cavaliers player has been named the newest Global Ambassador for the Special Olympics!!!

The 2016 NBA champion and Special Olympics International announced the news on Tuesday ... with Thompson saying he's "excited and honored" to partner with the sports organization that provides competitions for five million athletes (kids and adults) with disabilities.

"This is a great opportunity to support an amazing organization, but also use my platform and voice to help support athletes with intellectual disabilities," Thompson said.

"As a Global Ambassador, I will help inspire others to be more inclusive and take action to help change the stereotypes that exist for people with disabilities."

Thompson -- who is in his second stint with Cleveland -- will help promote the organization ... as well as work with local and global entities through activations by the Special Olympics.

In fact, the Cavs are hosting 40 athletes from Special Olympics France for a basketball clinic while they're in Paris for their game against the Brooklyn Nets on Thursday.

Thompson will join a list of several NBA/WNBA players who are also Global Ambassadors for the Special Olympics ... including Phoenix Suns star Devin Booker and Elena Delle Donne of the Washington Mystics.

"Special Olympics is honored to name Tristan Thompson as our newest Global Ambassador," CEO Mary Davis said. "Tristan demonstrates passion and dedication to creating a more inclusive world where exclusion has no place, and everybody belongs and is respected."

"We join Tristan in his commitment to elevating inclusion in communities around the world and look forward to working with him to positively change the lives of people with intellectual disabilities."

Of course, Thompson working with the Special Olympics hits close to home ... his younger brother, Amari, was born with disabilities.

Thompson was granted temporary guardianship over him in September after the sudden death of his mother, who used to take care of him.

Tristan Thompson Se une a las Olimpiadas especiales ... Como embajador

Tristan Thompson tiene un nuevo trabajo fuera de la NBA, ¡¡¡el jugador de los Cleveland Cavaliers ha sido nombrado como nuevo Embajador Global de las Olimpiadas Especiales!!!

El campeón de la NBA en 2016 y Special Olympics International anunciaron la noticia el martes. Thompson dijo que estaba "emocionado y honrado" de asociarse con la institución, que organiza competencias para 5 millones de atletas (niños y adultos) con discapacidades.

"Esta es una gran oportunidad para apoyar a una organización increíble, pero también para utilizar mi plataforma y mi voz para apoyar a los atletas con discapacidad intelectual", dijo Thompson.

"Como Embajador Mundial, ayudaré a inspirar a otros a ser más inclusivos y a tomar medidas para ayudar a cambiar los estereotipos que existen sobre las personas con discapacidad".

Thompson, que está en su segunda etapa con los Cleveland, ayudará a promover la organización y trabajará con entidades locales y globales a través de activaciones de las Olimpiadas Especiales.

De hecho, los Cavs están recibiendo 40 atletas de Special Olympics Francia para una clínica de baloncesto mientras están en París para su partido contra los Brooklyn Nets el jueves.

Thompson se unirá a una lista de varios jugadores de la NBA/ WNBA que también son Embajadores Globales de las Olimpiadas Especiales, incluyendo estrellas de los Phoenix Suns como Devin Booker y Elena Delle Donne de los Washington Mystics.

"Para Special Olympics es un honor nombrar a Tristan Thompson como nuestro nuevo Embajador Mundial", declaró Mary Davis, directora ejecutiva de la organización. "Tristan demuestra pasión y dedicación para crear un mundo más inclusivo, donde la exclusión no tenga cabida y todo el mundo pertenezca y sea respetado".

"Nos unimos a Tristan en su compromiso por elevar la inclusión en las comunidades de todo el mundo y esperamos trabajar con él para cambiar positivamente la vida de las personas con discapacidad intelectual".

Por supuesto, que Thompson trabaje en los Juegos Olímpicos Especiales le afecta de cerca, pues su hermano menor Amari nació con discapacidad.

Thompson obtuvo la tutela temporal sobre él en septiembre tras la repentina muerte de su madre, quien solía cuidarlo.

H.S. Sports Star Noah Knigga Here's How You Say My Name!!!

It's Kuh-nay-guh.

High school sports star Noah Knigga has become quite the internet sensation for much more than his athletic accomplishments recently ... but he wants everyone to know his name is safe for everyone to say -- as long as it's pronounced correctly.

Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.

The athlete and his family did an interview with Robert Griffin III this week ... and they answered the burning question surrounding their surname.

Of course, social media has been having a field day with the whole phenomenon ... firing off jokes left and right as it comes SUPER close to a word that could get a lot of folks canceled real quick.

Even RGIII had fun with it during the Q&A ... asking the Kniggas if they've ever been to Paris -- a reference to the famous Jay-Z and Kanye West song.

FWIW -- the Kniggas have never visited the City of Lights.

But friendly jabs aside, Noah -- a junior at Lawrenceburg High in Indiana -- is being recruited by multiple Division I schools to play football ... and recently won MVP honors in a basketball tournament over the weekend, so his game is no joke.

Who knows, maybe he'll even become a household name someday!!

Blueface and Jaidyn Alexis came into 2024 with plenty of momentum and controversy ... but they're embracing the notoriety, because it's fueling their rap careers!!!

TMZ Hip Hop caught up with Blue and Jaidyn at the event Meet The Faces at Fountain LA over the weekend and they had a laugh at all the feathers their new "Barbie (Remix)" ruffled -- remember, BF decided to skewer Soulja Boy, NLE Choppa and more on the track.

Speaking of NLE, their proposed boxing match ain't happening ... NLE's mother got involved after Blueface mentioned her, and she called them both childish Crips who are taking their antics too far.

They are still in agreement on bringing more money to their Milf Music imprint, however, as the only 2 artists on the label ... they're not accepting applications at this time.
