Toronto Raptors guard RJ Barrett is breaking his silence on his little brother's death ... saying Nathan's passing is "a lot tougher" than any other loss he's experienced in his life.

The NBA player was emotional when he spoke about his late 19-year-old brother with reporters at Friday's practice ... his first time rejoining the Raptors since the family tragedy.

"I’ve had some people in my life, but this one hit a little harder for me," Barrett said.

"This one is definitely a little different, it’s a lot tougher, and I just think that you’ve gotta push forward every day, gotta be able to try to figure it out."

The Barrett family released a statement earlier this month ... saying Nathan was surrounded by family members and loved ones at the time of his death, although additional details have not been made public.

Nathan was also an athlete -- he followed in his brother's footsteps by playing basketball at Montverde Academy. However, he changed course and was pursuing a career as a pilot.

"If I know my brother, he would want me to be here, to be playing," Barrett added, "to try to continue to make the Barrett legacy grow."

Diddy parecía estar interpretando el papel de "¿preocupado, yo?", el jueves por la noche mientras llevaba a sus 2 gemelas hasta el Top Golf en Miami, la misma ciudad en donde los federales allanaron una de sus casas a principios de esta semana.

Diddy hizo una señal de paz con los dedos cuando iba saliendo con sus hijas de 17 años, Jessie y D'Lila. Las chicas iban sonriendo mientras Diddy caminaba detrás levantando sus 2 dedos. Definitivamente, no se podría estar más relajado...

Nos dicen que todo el mundo estaba de buen humor, y que jugaron por 2 horas, aunque tras bambalinas es todo menos tranquilo en el mundo de Diddy.

Diddy created the image, "What me worry?" Thursday night as he took his twins to hit up Topgolf in Miami ... the same town where feds raided one of his homes earlier this week.

Diddy flashed a peace sign as he left with 17-year-old daughters Jessie and D'Lila. The girls smiled as Diddy walked behind raising his 2 fingers. You can't look more chill than the Sergio Tacchini velour tracksuit he was rocking.

We're told everyone was in good spirits as they played for 2 hours, although behind the scenes it's anything but calm in the Diddy camp.

Emily Willis is slowly -- and her family hopes, surely -- on the road to recovery after a cardiac arrest last month left her unconscious and hospitalized in critical condition.

The 25-year-old adult film star's father, Michael, tells TMZ ... while she remains in a vegetative state, there have been notable improvements -- mainly, she's now awake and able to track things with her eyes, smile, and even become emotional during conversations.

Sadly, Michael says doctors aren't anticipating further improvement beyond what she's already achieved.

Emily Willis se está recuperando después de un paro cardíaco que el mes pasado que la dejó inconsciente y hospitalizada en estado crítico.

El padre de la estrella de cine para adultos de 25 años de edad -Michael- le dice a TMZ que ha habido mejoras notables mientras permanece en estado vegetativo. Ahora está despierta y es capaz de seguir las cosas con los ojos, sonreír, e incluso emocionarse durante las conversaciones.

Lamentablemente, Michael dice que los médicos no están anticipando una mejora más allá de lo que ya ha logrado.

Mientras Diddy se enfrenta a su drama legal, Al B. Sure aprovecha la oportunidad para intentar reconciliarse con su hijo biológico e hijastro de Diddy, Quincy Brown.

Tras la detención de un socio de Diddy por drogas y dos redadas federales en las casas de Diddy, Al se puso en contacto con Quincy a través de un mensaje en IG en el que decía: "Ven a casa... La 🚪 está abierta de par en par. Estás a salvo aquí hijo!".

Al también le dijo a Quincy que lo amaba, pero parecía un poco irónico al escribir: "Te quiere, tu padre biológico".

As Diddy copes with his ongoing legal drama, Al B. Sure! is seizing the opportunity to attempt reconciliation with his biological son, and Diddy's stepson, Quincy Brown.

In the wake of Diddy’s associate being nabbed for drugs, and 2 federal raids going down at Diddy's homes -- Al reached out to Quincy with an IG post, saying, "Come Home … The 🚪 is wide open. You’re safe here son!”

Al also told Quincy he loved him, but appeared to fire a subliminal at Diddy with his sign-off ... "I Love you, Popz, Your Biological."

La afligida familia de Riley Strain ha ordenado una segunda autopsia privada después de que la primera no encontrara nada sospechoso. Han surgido nuevos detalles sobre su muerte.

El joven de 22 años no tenía sus botas de vaquero, pantalones o cartera cuando fue sacado del río Cumberland dos semanas después de desaparecer del bar de Luke Bryan en Nashville el 8 de marzo.

Pero Chris Dingman, un amigo de la familia que sirve como su portavoz, le dijo a NewsNation que Riley llevaba todos esos elementos la noche que desapareció, lo que les lleva a creer que su muerte fue más que accidental.

Riley Strain's grieving family is ordering a second private autopsy for him after the first found no signs of foul play -- this after new details emerged about his death.

The 22-year-old didn't have his cowboy boots, pants or wallet when he was pulled out of the Cumberland River 2 weeks after disappearing from Luke Bryan's Nashville bar on March 8.

But, Chris Dingman, a family friend serving as their spokesperson, told NewsNation Riley was wearing all those items the night he went missing ... leading them to believe his death was more than accidental.

Robert Downey Jr. parece estar listo para el circuito de BMX, pues apareció muy equipado para dar un paseo en bicicleta y pasar un tiempo de calidad con su hijo.

El actor, que acaba de ganar su primer Oscar, anduvo por la costa de Malibú el martes con su hijo Indio, de 30 años, y tenemos que decir, RDJ hizo una declaración de moda con su atuendo deportivo, y estamos seguros de que no pasó desapercibido para los motoristas.

Echa un vistazo a las fotos, Downey iba con colores brillantes, un imprescindible para pasear por las calles de Los Ángeles y no ser aplastado accidentalmente y menos si se trata de un icono de la actuación. También llevaba puesto el casco, ¡porque la seguridad es lo primero!

Robert Downey Jr.'s lookin' ready to hit the BMX circuit ... decked out in the proper attire for an afternoon bike ride -- and doing some father-son bonding complete with a loving fist bump.

The actor -- fresh off his first Oscar win -- rode down the Malibu coast Tuesday with his 30-year-old son Indio, and we gotta say ... RDJ made a loud statement with his athletic-chic fashion, one passing motorists were sure to see.

Check out the pics, Downey's going with highlighter bright colors ... a must-have while riding a bike on the mean L.A. streets, so drivers don't accidentally plow down an acting icon. He's also got his bike helmet on -- safety first, kids!

Taylor Swift's father, Scott Swift, won't be facing any legal trouble after his alleged altercation with a paparazzo down in Australia.

New South Wales Police Force confirmed to TMZ ... "Officers attached to North Shore Police Area Command have conducted an investigation following a report of an assault at Neutral Bay Wharf about 2:30 AM on Tuesday 27 February 2024."

No other details of the investigation were provided, but the bottom line is they didn't find enough evidence for this to go any further.

Los dos hijos de Diddy que fueron sacados de su casa de Los Ángeles durante una redada federal, regresaron a la propiedad a altas horas de la noche, pero se fueron muy rápidamente y con sus cosas a cuestas.

Justin y King Combs, que aparecieron esposados en un video mientras los agentes de Seguridad Nacional irrumpían en la propiedad de su padre en Beverly Hills, regresaron al lugar el lunes por la noche, luego que los federales echaran un buen vistazo alrededor.

Nos dicen que cuando la redada terminó y las calles quedaron despejadas, la casa parecía relativamente vacía hasta que Justin regresó a eso de las 10:30 PM PT y percibieron nuevamente movimiento. Al parecer, estaba recogiendo cajas y/o equipaje. Los paparazzi que estaban estacionados afuera registraron la acción en el interior.

Nos dicen que Justin finalmente recogió sus pertenencias y se fue, y que King llegó por separado un par de horas más tarde. Pareciera que también estuvo recogiendo sus cosas.

Había otras personas en el grupo mientras Justin y King iban y venían, pero no está claro quiénes podrían haber sido. En cualquier caso, nos dicen que nadie ha regresado por ahora.

Como hemos informado, Justin y King estaban directamente involucrados en la redada del lunes en Los Ángeles. Ambos fueron llevados hacia afuera por parte de los agentes federales y, finalmente, esposados mientras la Seguridad Nacional barría la casa y sus alrededores.

Fuentes con conocimiento directo nos dicen que nadie de la familia de Diddy fue detenido el lunes, y eso también corre para él. Nos dicen que sus movimientos no están restringidos.

Diddy's two sons who were hauled out of his L.A. home during a federal raid came back to the property late at night -- but they left very quickly thereafter ... with their stuff in tow.

Justin and King Combs -- who were seen on video in handcuffs as Homeland Security agents swept through their father's Beverly Hills estate -- ended up arriving and eventually hightailing it late Monday night ... this after the feds had a good look around.

Once the raid was over and the streets cleared ... we're told the house seemed relatively empty -- but it wasn't until Justin pulled up to the property around 10:30 PM PT that there was some movement ... including what we're told appeared to be him gathering boxes and/or luggage. Paps who were stationed outside recorded the action from beyond the main gate.

Drake's dad is jumping into the fray on behalf of his son -- calling out Kendrick Lamar and everyone else who seems to be taking shots at Drizzy over this out-of-nowhere beef.

On Monday, DG posted Drake's 2017 "More Life" album cover art that famously used his likeness and heaped on the sarcasm towards Future and Metro's new "We Don't Trust You" album.

Dennis mocked Future and Metro for using beef to sell records and also convincing the homies to unfollow Drake on social media, knowing it would swirl in the headlines.

Ross and Nav both cut ties with Drake, at least on Instagram, leaving the OVO camp with a lot fewer allies than they had a few weeks ago!!!

Dennis never has issues blocking Drake from criticism, like he did when he spoke to TMZ Hip Hop about Drake's "For All The Dogs" album dodging any Israel-Hamas lyrics ... but it's possible everyone just has a problem with his son.

Future and Metro are expected to bring in big numbers next week atop the Billboard 200 and Kendrick's "Like That" diss is also a potential No. 1 record -- but all these guys have proven to move units without the feuding.

Tom Brady has some competition for best athlete in the family ... 'cause his college softball star niece just launched her 62 home run of her career, good enough to rank her third in UCLA history ... and TB12 is hyped!

The NFL G.O.A.T. gave his niece Maya Brady -- a senior shortstop at UCLA -- a shoutout on Instagram after she smashed two home runs during the 14th-ranked Bruins game against Washington on Sunday.

Maya didn't only lead her Bruins to a 6-0 win over the 8th ranked Husky's, but her two bombs moved her into third place on the all-time home run list at the university, and Uncle Tommy's proud!

"Sorry peeps it just runs in the family," Brady wrote on Sunday. "LFG @mayabrady!"

Of course, Tom's no stranger to records ... but neither is Maya. She was the 2023 Pac-12 Player of the Year and the Pac-12 Batting Champion with a .456 average.

Maya, BTW, is the eldest daughter of Tom's older sister, and the softball star has said she views her unc as more of a "father figure."

The 22-year-old also strives to do her best to represent the Brady name.

"It’s just good pressure," Maya told The Athletic. "I love bearing the last name. I’m just really proud of it."
