Fights & Feuds

Nicki Minaj has finally dropped her long-awaited "Pink Friday 2" album ... and, as expected, she sent plenty of shots in hot verses.

For starters, on the song "FTCU," Nicki gets into her metaphor bag with the lyrics, "Stay in your Tory lane, bitch, I'm not Iggy," ... a line that's got fans wondering if she's taking shots at Megan Thee Stallion.

Nicki and Meg have been at odds for years and of course, Meg and Tory Lanez have a horrendous past ... a chapter recently closed after he was convicted of shooting the "Savage" rapper.

Ahead of his sentencing, Tory and Iggy Azalea were collaborating on music and even entertaining dating rumors ... loyalty paid in full when Iggy put her rep on the line when she penned a letter to the judge on behalf of Tory.

Iggy even ripped reports last year that she had issues with Nicki, but may change her tune as she's now being used as a punchline.

Nicki's track stands for "F*** the Club Up" -- the same message Cardi B's friends Latto and GloRilla spread on their track of the same name last year ... but it's clear Nicki wants the title for herself.

Fans also note Nicki used wordplay to shade Latto later on the track "Fallin' For You" ... "Picture not listenin’ when I said you would dread that/I mean locs, ho, you’s a chop ho/ I’m number one, y’all go argue over top four ..."

Nicki Minaj finalmente ha lanzado su tan esperado álbum "Pink Friday 2" y, como era de esperar, le disparó a un montón de personas en sus versos.

Para empezar, en la canción "FTCU", Nicki hace uso de las metáforas en la letra para decir algo como, "Quédate en tu Tory Lane (también carril en inglés), perra, no soy Iggy", un verso que tiene a los fans preguntándose si está lanzándole dardos a Megan Thee Stallion.

Nicki y Meg han estado en desacuerdo durante años y, por supuesto, Meg y Tory Lanez tienen un pasado horrible, un capítulo que recientemente se cerró después de que este fuera condenado por dispararle a la rapera de "Savage".

Antes de su sentencia, Tory e Iggy Azalea estaban colaborando musicalmente e incluso había rumores de que estaban saliendo. Su lealtad total se puso a prueba cuando le escribió una carta al juez en nombre de Tory.

Iggy incluso desechó los artículos del año pasado que insinuaban que tenía problemas con Nicki, pero puede cambiar su opinión ahora que está siendo utilizada como un chiste.

La canción de Nicki significa "F*** the Club Up", el mismo mensaje que los amigos de Cardi B, Latto y GloRilla difundieron en su canción con el mismo nombre el año pasado. Pero está claro que Nicki quiere el título para sí misma.

Los fanáticos también notaron que Nicki usó un juego de palabras para criticar a Latto en la pista "Fallin' For You".

Too bad the WBC title fight's not today ... 'cause Devin Haney and Regis Prograis seemed ready to beat the hell of out each other after a heated argument at a press conference days before their boxing match.

The expletive-filled incident happened on Thursday during the Haney vs. Prograis final press conference ahead of their Dec. 9 fight which is going down in San Francisco.

Things got heated after Haney's team said Devin would knock Regis out ... something Prograis questioned, highlighting Devin's knockout rate.

"Who you knocked out Devin?!" Prograis yelled. "C'mon Dev, who the f*** did you knock out?! Nobody!"

"You soft as f***!"

FYI, Prograis has 24 KOs in 30 fights ... compared to Haney, who has 15 KOs in 30 fights. But, Haney is undefeated ... while Regis has one loss.

"You slow! You're a one-trick pony," Haney replied. "You do the same thing every fight!"

Prograis continued his rant ... telling the crowd and even Haney's father, Bill, that he's going to "hurt" the super lightweight boxer come Saturday.

Devin seemed unbothered.

"You not gon' hurt s***!" Haney said. "I'm gonna beat the f*** out you, watch!"

Ginuwine's throwing water on at least one story from Britney Spears' memoir -- because he has no recollection of Justin Timberlake wiggin' out when they all ran into each other back in the day.

In "The Woman in Me," Britney claimed that JT royally her embarrassed when they were dating by throwing on a "blaccent" for Ginuwine -- going full-blown "fo shiz" with his slang. 🙈

Well, Ginuwine has a different memory of things ... telling People he's the same 'ol G he was back in the early 2000s, so he would've remembered Justin trying too hard to fit in, and would've questioned him on the spot.

Now, Britney also claimed *NSYNC intentionally mingled with Black artists, while the Backstreet Boys positioned themselves as a white group.

Justin hasn't responded to any of Britney's allegations about him -- but his *NSYNC buddies made it clear they have his back this year. They even returned to the Billboard charts with their new song "Better Place" for the 'Trolls' movie.

Britney Spears appears to be on the precipice of a mass reconciliation with her whole family -- but from the way Jamie Lynn Spears sounded Wednesday ... maybe not???

Brit's younger sibling was asked a bunch of questions about the family dynamic at LAX, and unfortunately ... she wasn't in a very chatty mood, opting to stay mum on pretty much all talk about her sister -- including the possibility of her burying the hatchet once and for all.

We'll give the cameraperson credit here ... trying to get her to open up every which way, but JLS clammed up and simply wouldn't budge. She gives a Merry Xmas though, FWIW.

Of course, regardless of Jamie Lynn's silence ... we know for a fact Britney wanted her at her birthday party this past weekend, which their mom Lynne actually ended up attending -- the first real signs of warming we've seen from Britney toward her family.

Like we told you ... not only is Brit apparently open to making amends with Jamie Lynn, but there's evidence she's keeping the window open to repairing her relationship with her father, Jamie, as well.

TMZ broke the story ... we'd recently learned Jamie had his leg amputated due to ongoing health issues, and it would appear Britney caught wind of that update too -- 'cause she posted a throwback photo of the two of them shortly thereafter.

Again, hard to gauge what Jamie Lynn's non-talking here really means -- it could suggest the sisters aren't any closer to mending fences than they were a year ago ... or, by contrast, it could also mean she's protecting Britney's privacy and they're on the road to reconciliation.

Britney Spears parece estar cerca de una reconciliación con toda su familia, pero por la forma en que Jamie Lynn Spears sonaba el miércoles... tal vez no sea del todo cierto.

Le hicieron un montón de preguntas a la hermana menor de Brit acerca de la dinámica de la familia en LAX (Aeropuerto de Los Ángeles) y por desgracia, ella no estaba con el mejor de los ánimos, optando por permanecer en silencio.

Hay que darle crédito al camarógrafo, ya que hizo todo lo posible para que Jamie hablara, aunque los esfuerzos fueron en vano. Sin embargo, envió unos cariñosos saludos navideños.

Independiente del silencio de Jamie Lynn, sabemos a ciencia cierta que Britney la quería en su fiesta de cumpleaños el pasado fin de semana. Fue su madre —Lynne— quien terminó asistiendo, estos fueron los primeros signos reales de acercamiento que hemos visto de parte de Britney hacia su familia.

Como informamos, Brit no solo está dispuesta a hacer las paces con Jamie Lynn, sino que también con su relación con su padre, Jamie.

TMZ publicó la historia, descubrimos que recientemente Jamie tuvo que amputar su pierna debido a problemas de salud y parece que Britney se enteró de esto, ya que publicó una foto con él.

Una vez más, es difícil saber la razón por la que Jamie Lynn no habló con nosotros. Podría significar que las hermanas no están tan bien como creíamos, o por el contrario, también podría significar que está protegiendo la privacidad de Britney y que están en el camino de la reconciliación.

Britney Spears se siente nostálgica acerca de su, padre Jamie Spears, y es la última señal de que está calentando a la idea de una reconciliación padre e hija.

La cantante publicó una serie de fotos de la familia el martes, la mayoría mostrandola a ella llevando a sus hijos ahora adolescentes cuando eran mucho más jóvenes, pero una muestra a Jamie junto a Brit, sosteniendo la lonchera de su nieto y una caja de jugo.

Britney no título las fotos, pero como te dijimos, ella está abriendo la puerta a la posibilidad de llegar a su padre, por lo que la foto podría ser una pista de que todo va por buen camino.

TMZ publicó la historia; los médicos tuvieron que amputar una de las piernas de Jamie después de 5 cirugías sin éxito para combatir una infección masiva. Además de su mal estado de salud, Jamie ha tenido que hacerle frente a la avalancha de críticas sobre su manejo de la tutela de Britney, con la cantante criticándolo públicamente en redes sociales.

Sin embargo, nos dijeron que la estrella se ablandó respecto a él recientemente, incluso diciendo que lo ha echado de menos a veces y consideró enviarle dinero para ayudarlo a salir.

Nos dicen que Jamie está totalmente abierto a volver a conectar con su hija, y nada le encantaría más que estar en buenos términos de nuevo con ella.

Como ya sabemos, también se lleva bien con mamá (Lynne), quien voló para la fiesta de cumpleaños número 42 de Britney el fin de semana y también se comunica con su hermana, Jamie Lynn.

Britney Spears is feeling nostalgic about family, including her dad Jamie Spears, and it's the latest sign she's warming to the idea of a father/daughter reconciliation.

The singer posted a slew of throwback family snaps Tuesday -- most showing her carrying her now-teenage sons when they were much younger, but one also shows Jamie next to Brit ... holding his grandson's lunchbox and a juice box.

Britney didn't caption the photos, but as we told you, she's opening the door to the possibility of reaching out to her father -- so, the pic could be seen as her extending an olive branch to Jamie.

TMZ broke the story ... doctors had to amputate one of Jamie's legs after 5 unsuccessful surgeries to combat a massive infection. In addition to his ailing health, Jamie's had to cope with the barrage of criticism over his handling of Britney's conservatorship -- with the singer publicly blasting him on social media herself.

However, we were told the star softened towards him recently ... even missing him sometimes and considered sending him money to help him out.

We're told Jamie's totally open to reconnecting with his daughter, and would love nothing more than to be on good terms again with Brit.

As you know, she's also been getting along with mom Lynne, who flew out for Britney's 42nd birthday bash over the weekend and she's also communicating with sister Jamie Lynn.

1:35 PM PT -- Grace Jabbari also shared a recording allegedly of Jonathan Majors blowing up at her during another incident when she came home tipsy after going out with friends.

In the recording, jurors heard Majors yelling at Jabbari, telling her she needed to be more like Coretta Scott King and Michelle Obama -- and that she had moved away from "the plan." In the recording, Majors exclaimed, "I'm a great man. A great man! There needs to be a great woman who makes sacrifices."

Jonathan Majors once lost his cool when his accuser Grace Jabbari mentioned her ex-boyfriend's dog -- at least according to her testimony in Majors' assault trial.

Jabbari -- who flew in from London to take the stand in an NYC courtroom -- spoke to the jury under oath Tuesday, and described how she first met him, how they got involved, and at what point he allegedly started to show aggression around her.

Remember, prosecutors told jurors Monday during opening statements that what allegedly happened between them in March was actually just the boiling point of what they claim had become a controlling and abusive relationship ... something Jabbari testified to on the stand.

Jabbari said she met Majors on the set of 'Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania' -- where she was hired as a movement coach -- and explained that their relationship got serious quickly. However, at one point in December 2021 ... she testified she saw the first flashes of anger from him when she claims he flipped his lid after she brought up her ex's pooch.

Jabbari says she was actually meeting Majors' own dogs at the time, and he was giving her instructions on how to behave around them -- to which she replied that she was already familiar with dogs on account of her ex-boyfriend, who had one. That's when she alleges JM lost his cool and started to raise his voice at her ... apparently angry she'd brought it up.

In court, she's quoted as saying ... "How dare I mention him" and "It's embarrassing to him that I dated him. His dog is pathetic. That kind of stuff." She also said this was the first time she ever became afraid of him ... and she testified things only got worse from there.

Jabbari went on to describe other alleged instances where Majors lost his temper -- testifying he once threw a candle in her direction and dented her wall ... and that he allegedly once knocked her headphones off her head, among other alleged moments of berating.

She also stopped and cried a lot during her testimony. At this point, it doesn't sound like she's gotten around to describing the alleged assault in question -- although prosecutors already alluded to it Monday, when they alleged he threw her around like a rag doll in the car after she saw a text from what she thought was a woman ... something he's denied.

Meagan Good was back in court looking on as Majors sat at the defendant's table during Jabbari's testimony. He reportedly did not look at Jabbari while she was on the stand.

Jay Williams has no issue with Houston Rockets coach Ime Udoka going off on LeBron James in the middle of a game ... telling TMZ Sports trash talk is all part of the nature of the sport.

ICYMI, Udoka -- who became Houston's head coach in April -- got into a heated confrontation with James during the Rockets vs. Lakers game on Dec. 2 ... appearing to tell the NBA superstar and his team to "stop crying like bitches."

Udoka was ejected from the game and later criticized for his manner as a coach ... but when we asked Williams about the clash while he was out at LAX this week, he defended the former player.

"Basketball to me is what you see at Rucker Park," Williams said. "Basketball to me is what you see at the Dyckman [Park]. It's what you see on Venice Beach."

"That's the world it comes from, that's where it's rooted from and people get things twisted. Ime Udoka was a player."

Of course, Udoka played for seven seasons in the NBA from 2004-2011 ... meaning he competed in the same era as LeBron.

That's where that aggression toward LBJ came from, Williams believes ... and it also shows why Ime acts differently from other coaches in the NBA.

"For me, I like people that engage and trash talk like that, 'cause it comes from a place -- you can tell there's history there," Williams said.

"I'm sure there'll be some type of fine for crossing the line, but you don't think subtle trash-talking like that exists? What do you think Gary Payton did his entire career? What do you think Draymond Green does?"

Williams added ... "One of the things that makes Ime different is that he's involved in the trenches of the game as a player."

Jeannie Mai claims she found out about her divorce from Jeezy like the rest of the world ... which couldn't be any further from the truth -- at least from her estranged husband's POV.

Sources close to the couple tell TMZ Hip Hop that Jeannie Mai being blindsided by the divorce filing is absolutely false ... 'cause the clear signs of their uncoupling were long established and manifesting right before their eyes.

We're told the couple serially engaged in marriage counseling -- with multiple therapists -- before Jeezy came to the realization that the relationship was "irretrievably broken.”

No matter who the professional was, it seems like Jeezy walked away with the same answer. Clearly, it would appear he feels the writing was on the wall here ... and that Jeannie's suggestion this came out of nowhere is disingenuous.

Jeezy hasn't highlighted an exact reason for the split, but has maintained he felt it in his gut that it was best to walk away since filing for divorce back in September.

Jeannie spoke of strength and putting up a hardened exterior to Jennifer Hudson on Monday ... the same interview where she also spoke on allegedly being ambushed by Jeezy's court filing, which she says gutted her.

Joe Budden compared NBA Youngboy's music to the lowest form of trash 💩 on his recent podcast episode ... a critique that's pissed off NBA to the highest levels of pissitivity -- and Birdman is hot too!!!

As the JBP's latest episode "Malcolm On Ice" came to a close, Joe ripped into NBA YoungBoy's music for being horrible ... with emphasis on the songs being "really, really, really, really bad!!!"

Joe maintained he didn't have anything against YoungBoy personally but painted him as a puppet his record label is using his frequent releases to spam YouTube to entice naive little kids.

The insults were enough for a rare IG response from the reclusive rap star, who's been holed up on house arrest in Utah all year.

YoungBoy informed Budden that despite his opinions, his music was still streaming very well ... and posted an Apple Music screenshot of his latest album's "Decided 2" accomplishments as proof.

He also challenged Joe to come to interview him face-to-face on "Grave Digger Mountain," but judging from his tone and name of the location, it didn't sound like a safe environment.

Birdman considers YB as a little brother in addition to a collaborator and the Cash Money Records boss also used his IG to issue threats to Joe.

Los amigos de Kim Zolciak, al menos algunos de ellos, no quieren tener nada que ver con ella y están diciendo que se avergüenzan por el comportamiento que ha tenido en su público divorcio con Kroy Biermann.

Fuentes familiarizadas con la situación le dicen a TMZ que la saga de la pareja ha sido una situación triste para sus cuatro hijos, todos menores de edad, y están preocupados de que tengan que presenciar el drama en casa y revivirlo públicamente a través de los medios.

Como resultado, algunos de los amigos de Kim se han distanciado en los últimos meses.

También nos dicen que sienten que esto se está convirtiendo en un juego de peleas para ellos, aunque Kim parece estar disfrutando más del drama que Kroy.

A pesar de las especulaciones de que la pareja está ampliando su rivalidad para un reality show, nuestras fuentes nos dicen que, hasta el momento, no hay ningún acuerdo de televisión sobre la mesa para ellos.

Para ser sinceros, las cámaras no necesitan filmar para entender lo caóticas que son las cosas entre K&K después de su solicitud de divorcio en mayo.

Hace poco más de una semana, uno de sus hijos llamó a los policías después de presenciar una explosiva pelea. Todo, para que a principios de esta semana el dúo apareciera acurrucado en una cita para almorzar.

Su relación se produce en medio de un montón de problemas de dinero, con Kim incluso utilizando su Instagram como plataforma para vender sus zapatos de diseño y pagar las deudas de sus tarjetas de crédito, hoy por las nubes.

Kim Zolciak's friends -- at least some of them -- don't want anything to do with her ... saying they're embarrassed by her behavior over her public divorce from Kroy Biermann.

Sources familiar with the situation tell TMZ ... the couple's relationship saga is a sad situation for their four minor children ... expressing concern they're forced to witness the drama play out at home and also relive it publicly through media coverage.

As a result, some of Kim's pals have distanced themselves from her over the last couple months.

We're also told the estranged pair feel it's becoming a fighting game for them -- though Kim seems to be enjoying the drama more than Kroy.

Despite speculation the couple is amplifying their contentiousness to score a reality show, our sources tell us that, as of yet, there's no TV deal on the table.

TBH ... cameras don't need to roll to understand how chaotic things are between K&K following their divorce filing in May.

Just over a week ago, one of their kids called cops to their home following an explosive fight ... only for the duo to cozy up for a Hibachi lunch date earlier this week.

Their on/off relationship comes amid a swirling mountain of money woes ... with Kim even using her IG as a marketplace to sell his designer shoes to pay off sky-high credit card debts.

Mike Perry has fought in the UFC and BKFC, and can count the likes of Luke Rockhold, Cowboy Cerrone, and Michael "Venom" Page as previous opponents ... but none of those scraps were bigger than Saturday night's bare-knuckle fight with former MMA champ Eddie Alvarez!

"This is a very tremendous opportunity for me, the biggest fight of my career to date," Perry told TMZ Sports this week.

"Eddie Alvarez, he's got quite the resume. I'm happy to be against it, and I'm looking to shut it down whether that be finishing him or just picking him apart for 12 minutes."

FYI, Perry is 3-0 in BKFC (Rockhold, Page, Lane) ... and is the promotion's biggest star. Alvarez has less experience sans gloves ... he's 1-0 with a win over Chad Mendes.

As for where he goes after Eddie, Perry says he's "looking to put on a good performance and skies the limit" afterward.

"We saw Conor McGregor and me face off last time. I was talking a little bit of s*** about Sean Strickland, he's very upset about it. He's angry with me. Every time he talks to me he's like, 'We gotta box. We gotta box.' I wrote him and said, 'Come to the fight in Utah' and he didn't even open that message and read it."

Gavin Newsom se enfrentó cara a cara con Ron DeSantis en el debate del jueves, intercambiando golpes sobre una variedad de temas importantes que afectan al país, ¡incluyendo las heces humanas!

El Gobernador de California y su homólogo de Florida se enfrentaron en el escenario durante el debate de Fox News presentado por Sean Hannity, pero la conversación de hora y media tomó un giro inusual cuando DeSantis sacó a relucir la caca en las aceras de San Francisco.

DeSantis mostró una foto de la ciudad del norte de California cargada de excrementos, explicando que los desechos en las calles son una forma de vida ahora en San Fran.

El candidato presidencial republicano de 2024 también señaló que Newsom solo limpió la ciudad recientemente para una visita del dictador chino Xi Jinping.

Newsom se veía nervioso, riéndose y diciendo que nada de eso tenía sentido.

El "gran debate del estado rojo contra el estado azul" tuvo otros momentos tensos, como cuando DeSantis acusó a su rival demócrata de llevar a cabo una campaña en la sombra para presidente.

Pero Newsom no mordió el anzuelo, demostrando su apoyo al actual presidente y favorito de los demócratas para 2024, Joe Biden. Señaló el récord de Biden en crear "catorce millones de puestos de trabajo, 10 veces más que los últimos tres presidentes republicanos juntos".

DeSantis luego apuntó a la crisis fronteriza entre Estados Unidos y México de Biden. Le dijo que los demócratas están mintiéndole a las personas sobre este tema, ya que millones de inmigrantes indocumentados han inundado el país.

Newsom devolvió las balas y atacó a DeSantis por enviar a los migrantes en autobús desde la frontera de Texas hasta la isla Martha's Vineyard "para superar a Trump". Luego se burló de sus números en las encuestas diciendo: "Estás 41 puntos abajo en tu propio estado".

Hubo más fuegos artificiales cuando DeSantis chapuceó el nombre de la vicepresidenta Kamala Harris. Newsom rápidamente corrigió a DeSantis y lo reprendió: "Vergüenza debería darte. Para ti es señora vicepresidenta".

Los gobernadores también se atacaron mutuamente sobre el crimen, los impuestos, el aborto, las protecciones ambientales y la pandemia del Coronavirus.
