Auma Obama was being interviewed by CNN in the middle of Tuesday's protests in Nairobi, Kenya -- when all of a sudden, explosions could be heard in the background ... and she starts coughing and tearing up.

The ex-Prez's half sibling -- to whom he's related on his father's side -- says she can't see anymore because of tear gas in the air ... and CNN field reporter Larry Madowo starts coughing too as the street interview is forced to end.

No cause of death was shared, and the exact details of his passing weren't disclosed either.

Dana White's ripping cancel culture, saying it's stopping people from being their true selves in public -- and he's using an interesting metaphor to make his point ... gay people.

The UFC CEO sat down with Shannon Sharpe for an episode of his "Club Shay Shay" podcast ... and, they dove into people getting "canceled" -- something White says doesn't scare him one bit.

Watch the clip ... Dana says he only cares about the opinion of a small group of people -- his family and loved ones -- and everything outside of that's just white noise. He then launches into a comparison that's raising eyebrows among some ... but ringing true for others.

Rick Ross had a wish granted this past Father's Day ... he doled out his FINAL child support payment to his ex-GF Tia Kemp ... who's not too happy he made the news public!!!

Rozay was all smiles as he asked his followers on Sunday if they would rather celebrate Father's Day, or writing your last child support check. He sorta gloated as both events were falling on the same day for him!

The "Aston Martin Music" rapper apparently finished his financial obligation to his son William Roberts III and called the fact it was happening on Daddy's day an act of God -- mo money, less problems for him!!!

She also thanked Travis for keeping them safe and taking good care of them, adding that "having a family with you is heaven and that she's "happy to celebrate you!" A series of photos of Travis cuddling with Rocky accompanied Kourt's love note.

Carrie Underwood and her family must feel pretty relieved right about now ... 'cause they managed to escape a house fire in their Tennessee home over the holiday weekend.

A rep for the country singer tells TMZ ... "There was a fire on the property on Sunday night, which was quickly contained. There was no fire damage to the primary residence, and the family and their pets were unharmed."

According to Williamson County & Fire, several crews were dispatched to the residence just before 10 PM on Sunday evening -- Father's Day -- after a fire started in Carrie and husband Mike Fisher's garage. The responders were able to put out the fire relatively quickly thanks to a 10,000-gallon water tank ... which was located on the singer's estate.

Rory McIlroy appears to be getting over his U.S. Open loss with the help of his family and turtles ... the star golfer was seen hitting up a Marinelife center with his wife and daughter on Monday -- roughly 24 hours after his heartbreaking defeat at Pinehurst.

McIlroy was spotted leaving the Loggerhead sanctuary in Juno Beach, FL. with his fam by his side -- and while it seems they had a good day looking at sea creatures ... it's not hard to see the 35-year-old athlete still appears to be reeling from his Sunday meltdown.

Check out some footage of the McIlroys as they left their day date by the ocean ... while Mom and Daughter looked content holding some goodies from the building, McIlory was noticeably skulking feet behind.

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt's daughter Vivienne chose to spend Father's Day by her A-list mom's side ... hitting the Tony Awards in the Big Apple, and channeling her mama's style.

The mother-daughter duo stepped out in twinning teal ensembles Sunday to support "The Outsiders" musical -- which was nominated for 12 awards heading into Broadway's biggest night ... and which Angie is responsible for co-producing.

Angie's teen daughter is notably serving as a producer's assistant on the play, so she helped out her mom with getting it all together. And, while "The Outsiders" won Best Musical ... that might not be the only reason Viv skipped out on spending the holiday with Brad.

Grab those toolkits and ties, people ... it's Father's Day once again -- and, Hollywood knows how to highlight its dads, the famous ones and the ones who helped raise a future celeb.

Hollywood celebrities shared pictures with their own fathers or -- if they have kids themselves -- then pics of them with their little ones ... and, you can just feel all the fatherly love coming through social media.

Will's got a huge grin on his face ... and, even his usually stoic dad's cracking a smile -- a rare sight for the King of England. William addressed His Royal Highness informally in the caption, calling him "Pa."

Father's Day should be a time to rethink parenting so kids aren't running the show at home ... so grouses Bill Maher!

The "Real Time" host bore in on the whole "Gentle Parenting" movement, where parents treat kids like right-thinking adults. Turns out cow-towing to children does great harm to the kids parents think they're nurturing. Bill notes the run-of-the-mill high school student has the same level of anxiety as a psychiatric patient in the early 1950s. Nuff said.

Mr. Maher argues the OG traditional dad, or trad dad, is the answer. Go back to treating kids like they are -- little people without judgment who need discipline and preparation for real life.
