The company behind Tekashi 6ix9ine's Dummy Vapes brand is none too pleased with a rival company, claiming Fume is trying to poach their rainbow-haired biz partner!

TMZ Hip Hop obtained new court docs in which Dummy Vapes calls out Fume for allegedly deploying some dirty business tactics.

Dummy Vapes says it entered into a "celebrity collaboration" with Tekashi in February 2023 for him to exclusively endorse the company's vaping products.

According to the lawsuit, everything was going well until June when Dummy Vapes says it got wind of Fume, a competitor, contacting Tekashi in hopes of meeting with him ... and dangling a $1 million offer as the bait!!!

That didn't lure Tekashi, though, and Dummy Vapes claims Fume then targeted Tekashi's girlfriend Yailin la Mas Viral with a $250,000 contract.

Lo and behold by July 2023, Tekashi entered into a merchandising venture with Fume, according to the suit ... one highlighted by his controversial "Shaka Laka" collab with Kodak Black and Yailin. Fume even released 14 different vape flavors, with some even being named "Dumy Vapes by Fume."

Dummy Vapes says 6ix9ine eventually dropped a PSA where he clarified he was indeed Team Dummy Vapes while he only did business with Fume through his girlfriend's deal.

Things came to a head when Dummy Vapes claimed it dropped $60,000 for Tekashi to hop on a private jet to promote the brand at an industry event in Las Vegas ... only to see the rapper drop out "due to directives from Fume."

Dummy Vapes is now suing Fume for trying to interfere with their relationship with Tekashi, and seeking unspecified damages.

La compañía detrás de la marca Dummy Vapes de Tekashi 6ix9ine no está muy contenta con una empresa rival, ¡alegando que Fume está tratando de robar a su socio de negocios de pelo de arco iris!

TMZ Hip Hop obtuvo nuevos documentos judiciales en los que Dummy Vapes llama a Fume por presuntamente desplegar algunas tácticas de negocios sucios.

Dummy Vapes dice que entró en una "colaboración de celebridades" con Tekashi en febrero de 2023 para que respaldara exclusivamente los vaporizadores de la compañía.

Según la demanda todo iba bien hasta junio, cuando Dummy Vapes dice que se enteró de que Fume, un competidor, se puso en contacto con Tekashi con la esperanza de reunirse con él ¡¡¡y ofreciendole una oferta de $1 millón como cebo!!!

Eso no atrajo a Tekashi, sin embargo, Dummy Vapes afirma que Fume se dirigió a la novia de Tekashi, Yailin la Mas Viral, con un contrato de $250.000.

En julio de 2023 Tekashi comenzó a hacer negociaciones de merchandising con Fume, de acuerdo con la demanda, su polémica "Shaka Laka" con Kodak Black y Yailin fue una de las más importantes. Fume llegó a lanzar 14 sabores de vape diferentes y algunos incluso fueron nombrados "Dumy Vapes by Fume".

Dummy Vapes dice que 6ix9ine finalmente dejó caer un comunicado donde aclaró que estaba conectado con Dummy Vapes mientras que sólo hizo negocios con Fume a través de su novia.

Las cosas llegaron a un punto crítico cuando Dummy Vapes afirmó que desembolsó 60.000 dólares para que Tekashi subiera a un jet privado para promocionar la marca en un evento de la industria en Las Vegas, sólo para ver al rapero abandonar "debido a las directivas de Fume".

Dummy Vapes ahora está demandando a Fume por tratar de interferir en su relación con Tekashi. Los daños y perjuicios todavía no están especificados.

Las Vegas visitors who got stressed out by the cyberattack can unwind at a strip club ... where they're offering up free lap dances, among several other perks, for affected tourists.

Larry Flynt's Hustler Club in Las Vegas is going the extra mile to make sure MGM Resorts guests who were caught up in the cyberattack still have a great time in Sin City.

Among the freebies for those who had their trips thrown for a loop ... free airport pickup, luggage storage for those experiencing check-in delays, complimentary $1,200 platinum VIP membership and lap dances on the house.

The GM of Larry Flynt’s Hustler Club Brittany Rose tells TMZ ...“Our hearts go out to both the employees as well as the tourists who have been affected by this devastating event. As members of the hospitality industry, we decided to do our part to help improve the guest experience during their visit to Las Vegas which will in turn alleviate the stress of the employees who are so diligently handling the situation.”

As we reported ...  the cyberattack started at the beginning of the week, preventing some guests from getting into their rooms or checking in altogether. The attack then spiraled into issues with casino slot machines and the phone lines went down, among other issues.

Larry Flynt's says guests who are at least 21 years old just need to show proof of a valid hotel reservation at any MGM property from this week to take advantage of the freebies, but the free fun ends Sunday.

Los visitantes de Las Vegas que se sintieron estresados por el ciberataque pueden relajarse en un club de striptease donde ofrecen bailes en el regazo gratis, junto con varios otros beneficios para los turistas afectados.

El Hustler Club de Larry Flynt en Las Vegas está yendo más allá para asegurarse de que los huéspedes de MGM Resorts que se vieron afectados por el ciberataque aún tengan un gran tiempo en la Ciudad del Pecado.

Entre los obsequios para aquellos cuyos viajes se vieron afectados... traslado gratuito desde el aeropuerto, almacenamiento de equipaje para aquellos que experimentan retrasos en el check-in, membresía platino VIP de $1,200 de cortesía y bailes en el escenario por cuenta de la casa.

La gerente general del Hustler Club de Larry Flynt, Brittany Rose, le dijo a TMZ: "Nuestros corazones están con los empleados y los turistas que han sido afectados por este evento devastador. Como miembros de la industria hotelera decidimos hacer nuestra parte para mejorar la experiencia de los huéspedes durante su visita a Las Vegas, lo que a su vez aliviará el estrés de los empleados que están manejando la situación con tanta dedicación".

Como informamos el ciberataque comenzó al principio de la semana impidiendo que algunos huéspedes ingresaran a sus habitaciones o se registraran por completo. Luego, el ataque se convirtió en problemas con las máquinas tragamonedas del casino, las líneas telefónicas se cayeron, entre otros problemas.

Larry Flynt dice que los huéspedes que tengan al menos 21 años solo necesitan mostrar prueba de una reserva válida en cualquier propiedad de MGM a partir de esta semana para aprovechar los regalos gratuitos, pero la diversión gratuita termina el domingo.

MGM properties are still reeling from a cyberattack which sent some of Las Vegas' biggest hotels into disarray ... but that's not stopping Sin City's heavyweight performers, who are full steam ahead this weekend.

Bill Maher is doing stand-up this weekend at the MGM Grand -- where check-out lines have been as far as the eye can see as a result of the cyberattack -- but a rep for Bill tells us his Friday and Saturday shows are still going on as planned.

Cirque Du Soleil -- a Vegas staple -- has shows at a number of MGM properties including the Grand, Bellagio and Mandalay Bay ... and a rep tells us they're all a go for this weekend.

As for other Vegas acts outside MGM hotels ... we're hearing they're not sweating the cyberattack. Shows for Magic Mike Live at SAHARA, Chris Angel MINDFREAK at Planet Hollywood and Murray The Magician at Tropicana are all on this weekend.

As we reported ... the cyberattack hit MGM resorts Monday, blocking guests from getting into their rooms, wreaking havoc on casino slot machines, downing phone lines and shutting down hotel check-ins.

MGM says a "cybersecurity issue" is affecting the company's systems and the company is working with "leading external cybersecurity experts" to get things under control, but everything has yet to be fixed.

Hacker groups including ALPHV and The Scattered Spider are claiming responsibility for the attack, though MGM has yet to confirm. Still, experts say the problems the resorts are facing show all the signs of a cyberattack.

Todos los hoteles MGM Resorts siguen sintiendo el dolor de un hackeo masivo. Fue una gran pesadilla cuando los visitantes del fin de semana comienzaron a llegar al Strip de Las Vegas.

El ciberataque se produjo a principios de esta semana impidiendo a algunos huéspedes acceder a sus habitaciones. Se convirtió en un espiral de problemas con las máquinas tragamonedas de los casinos, líneas telefónicas caídas y el cierre de los registros en los hoteles.

Por muy malo que fuera, al menos fue durante la semana, un momento mucho menos ajetreado en Las Vegas. Sin embargo, ahora que empieza el fin de semana la gente que se aloja en propiedades de MGM como el Aria puede esperar largas colas para registrarse cuando lleguen las multitudes a jugar durante el fin de semana.

MGM ha dicho que identificó un "problema de ciberseguridad" que afecta a los sistemas de la empresa y está trabajando con "expertos externos en ciberseguridad" para solucionarlo, pero los problemas persisten.

Grupos de piratas informáticos como The Scattered Spider y ALPHV han reivindicado la autoría de los problemas, pero MGM aún no lo ha confirmado. Los expertos afirman que los problemas a los que se enfrentan los complejos turísticos tienen todas las características de un ciberataque.

En medio del caos de MGM, Caesars Entertainment reveló que había sufrido un ataque similar poco antes de éste, que puso en peligro la información de los jugadores. Al parecer, la empresa pagó a los presuntos piratas informáticos un rescate de 15 millones de dólares pocos días antes de que empezaran los problemas de MGM.

¿Qué tan mal está la Ciudad del Pecado? Algunos visitantes dicen haber vuelto a su habitación de hotel y haber encontrado a otras personas dentro.

En los casinos, las máquinas tragamonedas que no están averiadas a menudo no imprimen tickets cuando los jugadores quieren marcharse. En su lugar, los empleados del casino les pagan en efectivo.

All the MGM Resorts hotels are still feelin' the heat from a massive hacking ... a major nightmare as weekend visitors start to hit the Las Vegas Strip.

The cyberattack went down at the beginning of this week, blocking some guests from getting into their rooms ... and spiraled into casino issues with slot machines, downed phone lines and shutting down hotel check-ins.

As bad as that was, at least it was mid-week -- a much less busy time in Vegas, but now as the weekend begins ... folks staying at MGM properties like the Aria can expect long check-in lines as the weekend warrior crowds arrive.

MGM has said it's identified a "cybersecurity issue" affecting the company's systems and is working with "leading external cybersecurity experts" to get the issue taken care of, but the issues persist.

Hacker groups like The Scattered Spider and ALPHV have claimed responsibility for the issues, but MGM has yet to confirm ... but experts say the problems the resorts are facing have all the markings of a cyberattack.

In the midst of the MGM chaos, Caesars Entertainment revealed it was hit with a similar attack not long before this one, which compromised player info. The company reportedly paid alleged hackers a $15 million ransom just days before MGM's issues started.

So, how bad is it in Sin City? Some visitors say they've gone back to their hotel room to find other people inside.

On the casino floor, slot machines that aren't broken down often aren't printing out tickets when players want to walk away. Instead, casino employees are paying them out by hand with cash!

The Elvis impersonator who officiated Joe Jonas and Sophie Turner's Las Vegas wedding is surprised their marriage is over -- the guy who's overseen countless nuptials thought these 2 would live happily ever after.

Jesse Garon married Joe and Sophie in Sin City back in 2019, and in a rather animated conversation, he tells TMZ ... he's shocked, heartbroken and distraught Joe filed for divorce from Sophie after only 4 years of marriage.

The Elvis impersonator says he first thought their divorce was a joke because it seemed to come out of nowhere. He says he thought they were going to last because Joe and Sophie dated for about 3 years before tying the knot. In other words, it wasn't one of those stereotypical spur-of-the-moment Vegas weddings.

Jesse says he's wondering if Joe gave it his all to try and make the marriage work, because he feels like 4 years really isn't that long.

As we reported ... Joe filed for divorce Tuesday, and the trigger for the singer was allegedly Ring camera audio/video of the actress doing or saying something that signaled to him their marriage was over.

Jesse says he was going to see Joe at the upcoming Jonas Brothers concert in Las Vegas, and planned to give him a memento from the wedding ... the ring pop wrapper from the ring Joe gave Sophie.

And there's this ... as Joe and Sophie wave the white flag on their union, Elvis Jesse wants fans to understand one thing -- do NOT blame him for this bitter ending.

Are you as shocked as the Elvis impersonator about Joe Jonas and Sophie Turner's divorce? Sound off by answering the question in our game below.

El imitador de Elvis que ofició la boda de Joe Jonas y Sophie Turner en Las Vegas está sorprendido de que su matrimonio haya terminado. El hombre que ha supervisado innumerables nupcias pensó que estos dos vivirían felices para siempre.

Jesse Garon casó a Joe y Sophie en la "ciudad del pecado" en 2019, y en una conversación bastante animada, le dijo a TMZ que está sorprendido, desconsolado y angustiado de que Joe haya solicitado el divorcio a Sophie después de solo 4 años de matrimonio.

El imitador de Elvis dice que primero pensó que esto era una broma porque parecía salir de la nada. A diferencia de otras típicas bodas improvisadas de Las Vegas, él pensaba que Joe y Sophie iban a durar porque estuvieron saliendo durante tres años antes.

Jesse se pregunta si Joe realmente hizo todo lo posible para salvar el matrimonio, ya que siente que cuatro años no es tanto tiempo.

Como informamos, Joe solicitó el divorcio el martes, y el detonante para el cantante fue supuestamente un audio o video de la cámara Ring de seguridad, con la actriz haciendo o diciendo algo que le hizo pensar que su matrimonio había terminado.

Jesse dice que iba a ver a Joe en el próximo concierto de los Jonas Brothers en Las Vegas, y planeaba darle un recuerdo de la boda: el envoltorio del anillo que Joe le dio a Sophie.

Y luego esto... Mientras Joe y Sophie ondean la bandera blanca de su unión, Elvis Jesse quiere que los fans entiendan una cosa: NO lo culpen a él por este amargo final.

Nick Carter can celebrate winning a legal battle over Melissa Schuman -- the singer who's suing him for allegedly raping her back in 2002 -- but the war is still to come.

The Backstreet Boy singer had filed a countersuit against Schuman for defamation, but in response, she and her father filed a motion to block his legal action. Carter was in a Las Vegas courtroom Wednesday to hear a ruling on the matter.

The judge sided with Carter, denying Melissa's attempt to get the countersuit dismissed. The judge decided Carter presented sufficient evidence to warrant his defamation case moving forward.

As we reported, Schuman -- who sang in the girl group Dream -- claims Carter raped her back in 2002 at a friend's apartment in Santa Monica. She filed a lawsuit against him back in April, and shortly thereafter, Nick filed his countersuit.

Carter's attorney Liane K. Wakayama reacted to Wednesday's ruling, telling us ... “For years, Melissa and Jerome Schuman have been conspiring with anyone they could manipulate to drum up false claims against Nick Carter in a brazen attempt to get rich off of him. Today’s ruling confirms that Nick will be able to pursue that truth to its inevitable conclusion and expose the Schumans’ and their co-conspirators’ deceit and deplorable conduct.”

Busy night for Adele -- not only did she sing the praises of 2 of her contemporaries -- honoring them in unique ways -- but she continued to do her best Oprah ... and killed it.

The singer was performing Friday night at her residency show in Vegas, and there's a lot of footage making the rounds showing different highlights throughout the night ... including one moment where she gushed about Miley Cyrus, and tried her hand at being Beyonce.

On the former, check out this clip of Adele addressing the crowd and talking about how much she loves Miley's new track, "Used to Be Young," which is blowing up right now.

Adele says she's always been a fan of Miley's and adds that the song hit her in a very personal/emotional way. Welp, Miley caught wind of the compliment and responded Saturday, writing ... ".@Adele, I thought of you often while writing this song - always hoped that you would love it. This means the world to me. I love you. Mission accomplished."

There was another big moment during Friday's show ... Adele attempted to do the viral "mute" challenge that's been going down at Bey's concerts lately ... where she sings "Energy" and the audience goes completely silent when she hits the lyric, "Everybody on mute."

It's all the rage these days, and Adele wanted to see if her fans could do as well as some of the ticketholders for the "Renaissance" tour (especially Atlanta, who really did it best).

Unfortunately for her (and them, we suppose) ... the Vegas crowd wasn't up to the task.

No matter though, because Adele once again proved to be a great showman through and through -- yes, that means she stopped and chatted a lot throughout her performance ... and very much came across as a naturally gifted talk show host, not unlike an Ellen DeGeneres.

We mean that quite literally ... 'cause Adele was going around and interviewing audience members with a mic and everything -- and a certain one-on-one she had with an expecting mom is noteworthy to say the least. Take a listen for yourself ... Adele makes a revelation.

Cops are now on the hunt for the person who allegedly nabbed Sabrina Ionescu's sneakers from a WNBA arena earlier this week ... telling TMZ Sports they've formally launched an investigation into the allegations.

A spokesperson for the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Dept. said on Friday it did take a report ... after the New York superstar claimed her Nike kicks were stolen from Michelob ULTRA Arena, where the Liberty had gone up against the Aces twice this week.

So far, no arrests have been made ... with the spokesperson saying, "This is an ongoing investigation."

25-year-old Ionescu initially brought the alleged theft to light on Thursday ... saying on her X page, "Never thought I would get my shoes stolen from an opposing arena."

"Please just bring me my insoles back," she added ... "RIP to my Sabrina 1s."

Ionescu shared photos of the two pairs that she says were stolen ... one in Oregon Duck colors, and another gray edition that she got to honor Nike founder Phil Knight.

The two-time WNBA All-Star signed an endorsement deal with Nike in 2020 and became the first women's hoops player to create a unisex collection with the corporation.

Adele's got a habit of tearing up onstage while singing her love songs, but her latest sob sesh is for a gender reveal ... not hers, but for a couple of her fans in Vegas.

Chris Dare and his wife, Shantelle Lord, got the gender reveal party of a lifetime at Adele's residency show at Caesars Palace, getting the singer to answer the question: boy or girl?

Adele was filled with excitement from the get-go during the weekend, and eventually revealed the parents-to-be are having a baby boy -- which got the 3 of them, and the entire audience, jumping for joy.

After wishing them well, Adele breaks down in tears, apologizing to the crowd for getting emotional ... before jokingly asking Chris and Shantelle to do her next gender reveal "if and when" she gets pregnant again.

Alvin Kamara's football season will start a little later this year ... the NFL just announced they've suspended the Pro Bowl running back 3 games for his role in a brawl in Las Vegas last year.

28-year-old Kamara, who was facing a felony battery charge, struck a plea with prosecutors last month, ultimately pleading no contest to a lesser misdemeanor charge. Alvin has to complete 30 hours of community service and make a 6-figure payment to the victim, who was seriously injured.

With the criminal case closed, it was just a matter of time before the NFL announced AK's punishment ... and that finally happened on Friday.

"Alvin Kamara of the New Orleans Saints and Chris Lammons of the Indianapolis Colts are suspended for their teams’ first three regular season games of the 2023 season for violating the NFL’s personal conduct policy, the NFL announced today."

"The suspensions stem from their involvement in a February 2022 incident at a Las Vegas establishment."

FYI, Lammons was also involved in the incident.

The fight happened on February 5, 2022 -- the day before the Pro Bowl -- at the Cromwell Hotel ... where Kamara was seen, along with several other men, putting a beating on another man near a bank of elevators.

Cops said Kamara punched the man at least 8 times.

For his part, AK has accepted responsibility ... he even spoke about the incident at practice on Friday.

"It's a tough ordeal to be in," Kamara said. "You know, I never want to be involved in something where someone gets hurt or severely injured or anything. Poor judgment on my end, definitely a bad decision, but I'm a man. Everything I've ever done in my life, I've stood on. And I can take accountability for it and I can say when I'm wrong and I was completely wrong."

Alvin, a former 3rd-round draft pick and 5-time Pro Bowler, is heading into his 7th season with the New Orleans Saints.

Cardi B's microphone-turned-weapon during her recent Las Vegas show is now getting tossed onto an auction block ... and it's all for a good cause.

The mic Cardi hurled into the crowd at Drai's Nightclub actually belongs to an audio production company called The Wave in Sin City, and the owner tells us he decided to auction it off to benefit a couple of charities.

Scott Fisher tells TMZ … it was pretty easy to track down the mic after the show, because the white tape across the bottom of it says "MAIN," and it still works despite Cardi chucking it into the crowd. Scott says his company provides audio support for most of the major nightclubs in Vegas, including Drai's.

Videos of Cardi B throwing the mic have gone viral ... and as we first reported, she's now listed as a suspect for battery because a woman who says she was struck by the mic went to police and reported the incident.

As you probably know by now ... Cardi B was performing during a scorching hot day, and had asked the crowd to douse her with water to cool her off, but later she lost her cool when someone threw a cup full of liquid and ice at her, retaliating with the mic toss.

The starting bid on the eBay listing is $500 and Scott says the mic originally cost $1,000 ... so it will be interesting to see where the winning bid lands.

Cardi B ain't sweatin' the Vegas cops ... 'cause she was dancing her butt off poolside the same day she was named a suspect in her microphone-tossing case.

Cardi posted a video Monday, which shows her and hubby, Offset, havin' a grand ol' time on the rooftop of what appears to be a Vegas hotel.

Both rappers are in bathing suits going absolutely bonkers -- Cardi is twerking like crazy in the pool as Offset wildly dances around her.

The two could not seem happier ... her police troubles seem to be the last thing on their minds.

Cardi was named as the suspect in a battery case after she hurled a mic into the crowd at her Vegas concert Saturday, hitting two people.

Video captured the moment someone splashed Cardi with a drink while she was onstage at Drai's Nightclub ... after she encouraged the audience to cool her off with water in the extreme heat.

Cardi clearly didn't approve of the way the liquid drenched her body, prompting her to throw the mic, which first struck the drink thrower and then ricocheted and hit a woman standing nearby.
