DaniLeigh spent the end of Memorial Day weekend in jail -- this after cops say she hit somebody with her car while driving under the influence.
The singer -- who's also DaBaby's ex/mother to one of his kids -- was arrested early Tuesday morning in Miami Beach ... where police claim she was involved in a DUI hit and run, which ended with a serious back injury to the alleged victim, who was riding a moped.
According to the police report, obtained by TMZ, Dani was seen by several witnesses driving at a high rate of speed and swerving in and out of lanes near Miami Beach. Eventually, cops say she struck somebody who was on a motorized scooter ... and dragged the moped for about a block. Somebody flagged down a nearby officer, who then initiated a stop.
In the paperwork, the cop describes Dani as smelling of alcohol. He conducted field sobriety tests, which he says she failed -- and says she later took a Breathalyzer.
The officer claims she blew a 0.145 and 0.148, nearly twice the legal limit. Dani was cuffed and taken to jail, where she was booked on 3 felony charges ... driving under the influence, leaving the scene of a crash with serious bodily injury, and DUI damage to property.
As for the person whom cops say was hit ... cops claim they were treated at a local hospital, where they say they were told by docs that this man suffered a kidney laceration and a spinal fracture.
We've reached out to Dani's team for comment ... so far, no word back.

Memorial Day Weekend Early Inklings of Summer ... Celebs Ready to Show Off Bods!!!
Memorial Day weekend has come and gone with no shortage of hot bods on display from Hollywood's finest ... unafraid to flash some skin ahead of summer.
While the weather might've been a little touch and go here in L.A. -- with lots of clouds -- that didn't stop A-listers from throwing on their bathing suits and getting wet in the water at vacation spots around the world.
Take James Marsden, for example, who was flaunting his abs while taking a dip in the South of France. He wasn't the only one out there, BTW ... tons of other stars were within earshot.
Hailey Bieber appeared to be in French waters as well ... as were Kendall Jenner and Orlando Bloom -- and all of 'em weren't wearing very much as they enjoyed the rays.
Leo DiCaprio and Irina Shayk were spotted in Italy living their best beach life ... and elsewhere, other celebs were showing off their summer figures. Kara Del Toro was rocking a two-piece ... and even Tom Brady's ex, Gisele, was seen splashing in some salty H20.
Kristin Cavallari, meanwhile, was enjoying her pool at her place in Tennessee -- which is, no doubt, feeling a bit more summery than SoCal is at the moment. As we said, the clouds just won't go away ... which probably explains why most everyone was out of town.
Gotta find the sunshine and blue skies somewhere ... and Hollywood got it and then some.

Florida Memorial Day Mayhem 9 Beachgoers Shot And Injured ... 4 Minors Struck By Bullets
Memorial Day turned violent at a popular Florida tourist destination ... nine people were shot and injured, including four minors, in Hollywood Beach.
The bullets started flying Monday afternoon when two groups got into a heated argument and decided to settle their differences using guns.
Several videos circulating online caught all the chaos. One clip shows the moment shots were fired, causing people to scatter on the Hollywood Beach Broadwalk -- a busy promenade filled with restaurants and shops.
Other footage captured paramedics giving first aid to victims at the scene.
Police said five adults and four minors were treated at hospitals for gunshot wounds -- and one had to undergo surgery. Yet, all nine victims -- ranging in age from 1 to 65 -- were listed in stable condition.
Hollywood Police Department spokesperson Deanna Bettineschi said investigators detained one person of interest and were searching for a second possible suspect.
As of right now, no one has been arrested and charged in the shooting.

Halle Bailey Live-Action 'Little Mermaid' Swimming to a Big Box Office Haul!!!
Halle Bailey's 'Little Mermaid' got tons of backlash when it was first announced, but now that it's out -- it seems folks are more curious than angry ... 'cause they're flocking to see it.
Disney's latest live-action adaptation hit theaters this weekend -- a 4-day one at that -- and so far, 'TLM' is cleaning up in ticket sales ... projected to land on a record-setting box office haul, with an estimated $120 mil-$130 mil to its name by the time Monday rolls around.
Box Office: ‘The Little Mermaid’ Sprinting to $125M-Plus Memorial Day Debut https://t.co/B2JKJkBsrt
— The Hollywood Reporter (@THR) May 27, 2023 @THR
Some analysts have the film pegged to make more than $130MM -- but Disney's hedging their bets, saying it'll probably be closer to $125 MM domestically. Overseas, the movie is said to likely draw an additional $80 mil ... so it could hit around $200 mil soon enough.
That's great for the Mouse House, as this movie reportedly had a budget of about $250 million -- so they need this one to continue doing numbers for a bit to turn a profit.
While there's certainly excitement for the debut weekend, time will tell if Ariel has legs to go the distance in the weeks thereafter. As we reported, "Aladdin" star Mena Massoud recently opined he didn't think it'd hit a billion like his movie did ... which came out pre-pandemic.
Funny enough, with these estimated figures, 'Mermaid' is actually on pace to overtake what "Aladdin" achieved in 2019 -- and it's on a new list of Memorial Day weekend titans. If all goes according to plan, 'TLM' should sit at fourth behind "Top Gun: Maverick," "Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End," and "Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull."
Not bad for a singing lady-fish!

Jamie Foxx Doing Physical Rehab in Chicago ... Family by His Side
-
Exclusive
- 7.2K shares
Jamie Foxx continues to receive medical treatment after his serious health scare last month in Atlanta -- but now he's in a new city, at a facility touted as the top physical medicine and rehabilitation center in the country.
Jamie's family, including his daughters Corinne and Anelise, as well as Anelise's mother, Kristin Grannis, were all in Chicago both Saturday and Sunday to spend time with Foxx during his continued care.
While we still don't know exactly what happened to Jamie or why he's there ... we know the facility specializes in stroke recovery, traumatic brain injury rehab, spinal cord injury rehab and cancer rehabilitation.
One source tells us Foxx arrived at this facility in Chicago in late April -- after initially getting treatment in an Atlanta hospital -- and sources connected to Jamie tell us he's "recovering well."
Jamie's loved ones appeared to be in good spirits over the weekend, and there are signs he's alert and active -- including the fact Kristin left the center with Mother's Day flowers and a balloon.
Also, Anelise had her guitar with her, so you gotta imagine she was able to play and sing with her dad ... a good sign considering how important music is to Jamie.
Corinne, who has been by her dad's side from the start of his medical troubles, was also joined by her boyfriend on at least one of the visits, cracking a smile ... which, hopefully, is a marker of positive things happening for Jamie.
At the end of last week, Corinne announced her father had been out of the hospital for "weeks" and was "recuperating" -- she also mentioned he was playing pickleball.
While it's clear he's still getting treatment, the rehab center is obviously encouraging for Jamie's overall progress -- and the facility offers an adaptive sports and fitness program -- which could explain the game of pickleball.
As we reported, Jamie was first hospitalized April 12 in Atlanta for what his family called a "medical complication" ... but all seems to be headed in the right direction.
We covered it all on the latest episode of The TMZ Podcast, available on all podcast platforms.

Anne Heche was laid to rest over the weekend on Mother's Day, in a special yet emotional ceremony for those who loved her most ... TMZ has learned.
A rep for Anne tells TMZ … Heche was given her final resting place Sunday afternoon at the Hollywood Forever Cemetery - Cathedral Mausoleum, a location reserved for some of the biggest names in showbiz.
The rep says, "She loved everyone so passionately and deeply and her children, her legacy, thank everyone for their support and love through this difficult time and are grateful to be able to honor their mother, [Sunday] on Mother’s Day."
AH was cremated, and our sources say her crypt is across from Chris Cornell and Johnny Ramone and it is next to Mickey Rooney -- a spot with a beautiful view of the lake located within the cemetery's Garden of Legends.
As we reported, Anne died last August after she was involved in a horrendous car crash. You'll recall, her car slammed into an L.A. home and caught the house on fire.
The last time we talked to Anne's son, Homer, he told us he was super proud his mom would be getting a spot on one of the mausoleum walls at HF and among her Hollywood peers.
Jennifer Lopez, Ben Affleck Moms Link Up for Mother's Day!!!
Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck certainly made the most of Mother's Day ... spending time with both their moms for one big familial affair.
J Lo's mama, Guadalupe Rodríguez, and Ben's mom, Christopher Anne Boldt, joined the A-list couple for the Sunday Funday in Los Angeles.
J Lo's twins Emme and Max, as well as Ben's daughter, Seraphina, were also on hand to celebrate the moms -- showing everyone is all still getting along just fine.
BA's son Samuel and oldest daughter Violet appeared to be missing from the family function ... perhaps, spending time with their mother, Jennifer Garner.
Of course, the fun-filled day comes on the heels of new movie releases from both Ben and Jen ... so, even more of a reason to celebrate. J Lo's flick "The Mother" is getting plenty of buzz on Netflix.
Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.
As we reported, Ben's flick "Hypnotic" didn't do as well in theaters ... raking in just $2.3 million from ticket sales.
Success at the box office or not, it certainly didn't seem to have any effect on showering Mom with some love.

A one-of-a-kind belt will be presented when Floyd Mayweather and John Gotti's grandson meet in the ring next month ... with the World Boxing Council designing a special Juneteenth-themed keepsake for the exhibition.
TBE and John Gotti III are slated to fight on June 11 in Florida ... which falls just over a week before the federal holiday.
Given the historic significance of Juneteenth, we're told the WBC wanted to commemorate the day as part of the weekend's festivities by presenting the unique belts to Floyd, as well as Robert Smith, James McNair, and Deon Taylor for their contributions to society.
WBC president Mauricio Sulaimán spoke with TMZ Sports on the move ... saying "Juneteenth is a national holiday and Floyd Mayweather is the best representative for success and glory through hard work and dedication."
"The WBC will thank and support these four great men who make life better for all every single day."
The belt features broken chains and hands shaking ... as well as the usual "WBC World Champion" etched on the front with "Juneteenth" underneath.
The whole boxing match, put together by Floyd's friend Jona Rechnitz, will be a celebration ... with Ozuna and Lunay set to bring the vibes.
Of course, there won't be an actual winner declared ... so Floyd's going home with the belt regardless.

Sen. John Fetterman It's 4/20 Somewhere ... Legalize Weed!!!
Sen. John Fetterman is going all in on 4/20 ... promoting the unofficial marijuana holiday as part of his broader push to legalize weed nationwide.
The Pennsylvania legislator, who just returned to the Senate this week, posed with a marijuana flag Thursday ... posting a tweet at 4:20 PM with a simple caption, "It's 4:20 on 4/20. That's the tweet."
As you can see, Fetterman's flag reads ... "It's 420 somewhere" ... with pot leaves all over the darn thing.
Fetterman playing into 4/20 jives with his political policies ... he campaigned on legalizing weed at the federal level, and he's been pushing for legalization since his election.
Fetterman's state of Pennsylvania allows medical marijuana, but recreational is against the law. His website says weed should be legal "for jobs, justice, veterans, farmers and revenue."
Fetterman says it's "flat wrong" to arrest people for ganja use and deny folks employment simply because they toke up at home ... and he's vowing to end the war on weed.

Freddie Gibbs isn't feeling the holiday spirit as far as 4/20's concerned ... mainly because the "Alfredo" rapper says he smokes every day!!!
TMZ Hip Hop linked with Gangsta Gibbs Thursday at LAX, and he admitted he doesn't see what the big deal is about "Cannabis Christmas," if you will. That being said, he does have a vote for rap's best weed anthem.
According to Fred, Bone Thugs-N-Harmony's 1995 burner, "Buddah Lovaz" from the album "E. 1999 Eternal" takes the highest honors in his book.
The Cleveland-bred rap legends specialized in rapping about weed on plenty of tracks for decades, and have helped keep fans' ashtrays filled over the years.
It's anyone's guess when Freddie will make more marijuana music himself. He tells us his acting has picked up to the point where he doesn't feel like hitting the studio!!!

Jeremy Meeks My Life Story's Bigger Than Book ... I'm Thinking TV Series Too

Exclusive
- 394 shares
Jeremy Meeks says going from the mean streets to jail to fashion runways and movie sets has been one wild ride, which is why he's written an autobiography ... but he's not stopping there.
We got the actor/model at LAX and he was beaming as he told our photog about his Hollywood success ... telling us he just got back from shooting a Christmas movie and is excited about his upcoming book release.
Jeremy, who first became famous as the "hot felon," says it's surreal to see his life story in book form, and his goal is to get the publication made into a TV series.
We asked why not a feature film, and he said it would be impossible to chop his life down to a couple hours or less ... so, a series makes more sense.
Jeremy's book is called "Model Citizen" and it's coming out October 10 ... and it tells the story of his meteoric rise from poverty to global fame.
Remember ... Jeremy had a long rap sheet before his 2014 arrest and mug shot earned him the "hot felon" and "prison bae" monikers.
Jeremy's mug went viral, sparking a modeling career that blossomed into acting gigs and led to him dating and having a child with Topshop heiress Chloe Green.
There's plenty of content for a book and a series, for sure ... but Jeremy told us there's a big casting decision in his future!!!
