Druski is starting his own sports agency, but his first client is no joke -- the superstar comedian is signing Florida Gators star and NFL Draft prospect Princely Umanmielen!!
TMZ Sports is told Druski -- who boasts millions of followers on social media -- is launching the athletics branch of his 4Lifers brand ... with the defensive standout coming on board as his inaugural signee.
Umanmielen is widely regarded as one of the top defensive ends in the country ... and has been named to the Chuck Bednarik and Lombardi Award watch lists this season after racking up 39 total tackles, 4.5 sacks and 2 forced fumbles for the Gators in 2022.
Before making his way to Gainesville, 6'5", 254-pound Umanmielen was a four-star recruit out of Manor, Texas.
And, we're told while Druski likes to be playful on social media and with his comedy career, this isn't something he's taking lightly ... and he wants to make a serious name for himself in the industry.
"Launching 4Lifers Sports Agency allows me to combine my two passions -- sports and entertainment," Druski tells us.
"Our team is committed to providing athletes with the resources, support and marketing opportunities to grow on and off the field. The process begins today with Florida Gators star Princely Umanmielen’s addition to our family."
Druski has built quite the portfolio in the sports world recently ... he's already a co-owner of Fan Controlled Football's Shoulda Been Stars.
In fact, when he joined forces with the league, he made it clear he understood the responsibility that came with the role.
Safe to say he's going into this new sports position with that same level of commitment!!

The Game I'm Not Drake ... Throws Bra Back to Fan!!!

Exclusive
- 1.2K shares
The Game is the anti-Drake ... at least when it comes to collecting bras from well-endowed women at his shows.
The rapper was in the middle of an O.C. performance when a woman in the crowd tossed a very large red bra on stage, and he stopped the show to make it clear ... he's no Drake, so please keep your lingerie to yourself!
Check out the video ... The Game tells fans at the Garden Grove Amphitheatre whoever threw the bra on stage isn't about to have their life changed like the Drake fan who is now getting modeling deals.
As he tosses the bra back into the crowd, The Game jokes ... "I don't be doing no tricking!!!"
Of course, The Game is referencing the recent phenomenon at Drake concerts, where women keep bombarding the stage with their bras, much to Drake's amusement.
The Game's not a complete hater though -- he offered a compliment to the owner of the red bra, telling her she clearly has very "suck-able" assets. Not the most PC remark ... but a brutally honest one, far as Game's concerned!!!

21 Savage Attends Beyoncé Concert In Atlanta ... Belts Out Her Tunes From Crowd
Did anyone know 21 Savage was such a HUGE Beyoncé fan? Well he is, and so much so the rapper was belting out her hits all night at her concert in Georgia.
21 posted several videos on Instagram showing his love for Bey’s music as she performed to a packed audience at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta, part of her wildly popular Renaissance World Tour.
Check out the footage … 21 is having a blast singing along to Bey’s “1+1” and "Dangerously In Love 2" from the crowd — and maybe a little too much fun because he seems a bit out of tune.
But that’s ok — it’s all just barrel of laughs.
By the way, 21 hits the stage with Drake at Kia Forum in Inglewood, CA, tonight so maybe Bey’s show was just a warm-up for him.

Sexyy Red Relax, I'm No ‘Raw Dog Queen’ ... Was Just Joking!!!
Sexyy Red has earned clout in hip hop saying whatever comes to her dirty mind … even if it’s not exactly the truth.
Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.
The "Pound Town" rapper had to call cap on her own self after her Lil Yachty interview comment about never using condoms went viral on Thursday -- and many fans started calling her out for sexual irresponsibility.
Sexyy Redd referred to herself as the "raw dog queen" while retelling a past encounter where her ex-boyfriend accused her of sleeping around and leaving used condoms as evidence --only to walk back those comments on Instagram as fan outrage grew.
Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.
Elsewhere in the interview, she spoke on being a victim of revenge porn, but things have since done a 180° for the St. Louis rapper, much like her anti-condom comments.
Her Nicki Minaj-featured hit remix "Pound Town 2" was recently certified Gold by the RIAA and her breakout album "Hood Hottest Princess" continues to twerk on the charts as well.
Fans should probably take her XXX-rated lyrics with a grain of salt, though.

Jeff Lewis wants to let everyone know he was just havin' some fun when he called his pal Kyle Richards a "lesbian on Ozempic" ... unclear if she's realized that though, because she's leaving his messages on read!
We got Jeff at the Rockefeller Center in NYC Wednesday after he caused some buzz on Andy Cohen's "Watch What Happens Live" with the comment.
Jeff makes it clear, he was only joking, and tells us he wanted to poke fun at the rumors about Kyle and country singer Morgan Wade dating -- something Kyle's denied quite a bit.
Despite it obviously being a goof, Jeff fills us in on some potentially troubled waters -- he shot her a text and she still hasn't responded. 👀
As we reported, Jeff drew some big laughs when he cracked wise about his friend ... Heather McDonald also jumped in, saying being gay is a side effect of the medication.
Hopefully, all is well between Kyle and Jeff -- just text him back, girl!!!

'Bravo' Star Jeff Lewis Jokingly Jabs Kyle Richards ... She's a 'Lesbian on Ozempic'
Jeff Lewis called Kyle Richards a "lesbian on Ozempic," and while he was certainly joking ... it's a toss-up as to whether the 'Housewives' star herself is laughing.
The famous interior designer -- known for appearing on Bravo's "Flipping Out" -- made the flippant comment on Andy Cohen's show "Watch What Happens Live" ... where they were running a silly segment called 'Jeff, What's Your Issue?' and flashing through faces of people.
Eventually, they landed on Kyle ... and Jeff made the crack, feigning outrage that she didn't tell him she was into women and that she was taking the diabetes weight-loss medication. You could tell it still had an impact though ... 'cause Andy was left blushing on the spot.
Heather McDonald was also on set for this moment, and she ran with the gag ... joking that one of Ozempic's side effects is that it makes people gay. Jeff, who's gay, kept going with it, and the whole thing was dealt with in a light-hearted manner, all told.
Of course ... Jeff's zing comes on the heels of recent speculation Kyle might be dating female country singer Morgan Wade ... this after spending a ton of time with her on the road, and right around the time she separated from her husband, Mauricio Umansky, no less.
Since then, we've learned that's not the case ... and that the reason Kyle's been hanging out with Morgan so much is because of a documentary she's producing about the artist's life.
Still, people have had their opinions about Kyle and Morgan regardless ... something they're well aware of, and which they leaned into in MW's latest music video -- poking fun at all the rumors.
We'll see how Jeff's remarks land with Kyle, who hasn't responded. Not yet.

"Big Brother" contestant Felicia Cannon is leaving a trail of destruction in her wake -- ruining several microphones in just the first week, with toilets and hot tubs proving to be her kryptonite.
Felicia, the oldest houseguest this season, has only been in the 'BB' house a few days ... and she's already dunked at least 3 microphones in water.
One incident happened when the houseguests first got access to the backyard, and Felicia literally fell into the hot tub ... which produced some hilarious audio.
Before the mic was ruined, it captured her scream and then the sound of bubbles as the mic was submerged.
Felicia's also destroying equipment in the bathroom, as the mics fall off her clothing and down into the toilet water when nature calls.
It's not like she can get away with it either -- the show's 24/7 online feed captured her exiting the bathroom with her skirt halfway down her butt as she tries to explain away her latest wet mic incident.
According to BB Live watchers there may have been a few other splash downs not captured by cameras.
Equipment loss aside, Felicia's proving to be the star of "Big Brother 25" ... she's a must-watch on the live feeds, and she's pretty funny when she laughs off the mic drops.
"Big Brother" producers are doing their best to cut their losses -- they've started wrapping her mics in plastic bags!!!

President Biden Makes Old Jokes With Dusty Baker ... During Astros White House Visit
The Houston Astros got the VIP treatment at the White House on Monday to celebrate their World Series title ... and POTUS came with the jokes!!
80-year-old President Joe Biden welcomed the 2022 champions to 1600 Penn with a special ceremony minutes ago ... and he showed off his comedic side with a number of funny personal jabs throughout his speech.
The highlight of the day came when Biden praised 'Stros manager Dusty Baker ... revealing he was a fan of the legend during his playing career, even though he was six years his senior.
"Worst part was, I remember rooting for him as a kid, and I was older than he was," Biden said.

The crowd was into it ... laughing as #46 made the sign of the cross to cap off the joke.
But, Biden wasn't done poking fun at himself -- he also made a silly comparison to Baker working well into his 70s.
"People counted you out, saying you were past your prime. Hell, I know something about that!!"
Biden's age is something President Donald Trump mentioned numerous times during their heated 2020 presidential run ... despite there only being a three-year difference.
Nice to see he's able to joke about it all now!!

Tiffany Haddish's rap career is no joking matter ... so claims Fivio Foreign, who's telling us he saw her raw talent for himself after being tapped for a feature.
TMZ Hip Hop chopped it up with Fivio at LAX this week ... the "City of Gods" rapper was in town filming the music video for her Lil Jon-produced song, "Party Til Da Club Close."

Joey Fatone is NOT taking offense to the NSYNC dig tucked away in the "Barbie" movie -- in fact, it's quite the opposite ... he says the low blow makes the band all the more relevant.
We got Joey at LAX Thursday and our photog asked about the NSYNC reference in the Greta Gerwig flick.

It seems everyone's seen "Barbie," Joey included, so this shouldn't be a huge SPOILER ALERT ... but midway through the movie, NSYNC gets name-dropped ... and not in a positive way.
'Barbie' Movie Drives Up eBay Price on Allan Dolls, Going for Top Dollar
Michael Cera's character, the Allan doll, jokes ... "Not one person would care if Allan was in the real world, in fact, it's happened before. All of NSYNC -- Allan. Yes, even him."
Joey's rolling with the punches here ... he's the first to admit everyone in the band, including Justin Timberlake, have all had their Allan moments ... and he's all about self-deprecation, so he can laugh it off no problem.
What's more, Joey tells us the reference means NSYNC is still relevant in 2023 ... so he's taking it as a huge compliment.
Props to Joey for tipping his cap to "Barbie" ... he's clearly got a good sense of humor.

Pete Davidson is back on the road doing what he does best ... making people laugh, something his fans are clearly anxious to see, considering he's got back-to-back sold-out shows.
Sources connected to Pete tell TMZ he's out of rehab, and doing some standup gigs this week. We're told he has 2 shows Tuesday at the Improv in Dania, FL ... in the Fort Lauderdale area. If ya don't have tickets already, sorry, they're all gone.
It's unclear when Pete left the medical facility that he checked into back in late June for mental health reasons -- but, he's obviously feeling well enough at this point to get back to performing.
It's been a bumpy time for PD ... he's juggling movies, TV, sponsorships, a new GF, and lots of other stuff in the wake of leaving 'SNL.'
And, don't forget, he just sorted out his legal issues for ramming his car into a Beverly Hills home earlier this year.
As we reported, he's doing a diversion program -- which requires him to do 50 hours of community service -- and, if he completes that the incident will be expunged from his record.
On top of all that, he had a contentious, and very public, face-off with PETA over a puppy he bought for his mother.
We'll know soon enough if he's up for discussing any of these recent trials and tribulations in standup routine ... but ya gotta figure some of it's gonna get a mention.
No word on whether he plans to add more shows in the near future.

Paul Reubens Dead at 70 from Cancer ... Wrote Apology to Fans
-
Exclusive Details
- 76K shares
12:29 PM PT -- Actress E.G. Daily, who played Dottie in "Pee-wee's Big Adventure," joined us on "TMZ Live" Monday, telling us she felt something was off with her on-screen costar and real-life friend in recent years ... but had no clue Paul Reubens was battling cancer.
Looking back, she says Paul was an incredibly thoughtful soul, and there was a great distinction between Pee-wee and the man himself -- something many didn't get to see.
As for Paul's popular character, E.G. tells us it brought out the kid in everyone ... and she thinks it's rare for something to have such a big impact as Pee-wee did for years.
Paul Reubens -- the comedic actor best known for playing Pee-wee Herman -- is dead after a private battle with cancer.
Paul died Sunday night, according to a statement posted Monday on his Instagram account ... a statement that revealed, for the first time, the medical crisis with which he'd be dealing -- "Paul bravely and privately fought cancer for years with his trademark tenacity and wit."
We're told he had a brain tumor 6 years ago, but doctors were able to surgically remove it ... and it was considered a successful procedure. It's unclear what kind of cancer he'd been diagnosed with most recently.
The comedic icon will forever be remembered for his Pee-wee Herman character, which Paul created in 1978 during an improv exercise with The Groundlings. Paul worked with another comedy legend, the late Phil Hartman, to develop the character.
That led to the eventual launch of the "Pee-wee's Playhouse" TV show in 1986 ... and although it was Saturday morning programming, it became a huge hit with kids and adults.
He also brought the character to the big screen with the film, "Pee-wee's Big Adventure," which was a huge commercial success.
The movie featured a scene with Pee-wee dancing to the 1958 hit song, "Tequila" by The Champs. The character, and that dance, were so beloved ... you can't hear that song without thinking of Pee-wee.
While Pee-wee is his most iconic role, Paul had been doing live comedy routines long before that. In addition to his time in The Groundlings, he made 14 appearances on "The Gong Show" back in the '70s.
He's also done a ton of acting unrelated to Pee-wee -- having roles in movies, like "Blow," "Batman Returns," "Buffy the Vampire Slayer," "The Nightmare Before Christmas" and "Doctor Dolittle" ... as well as hit TV shows like "Murphy Brown," "Ally McBeal" and "Everybody Loves Raymond."
As for his cancer battle -- Paul addressed it in a note he'd written, saying ... "Please accept my apology for not going public with what I've been facing the last six years. I have always felt a huge amount of love and respect from my friends, fans and supporters. I have loved you all so much and enjoyed making art for you."
Paul was 70 years old.
RIP

Dave Chappelle Rapping After Snoop Dogg's Set At Ohio Music Festival!!!

Dave Chappelle is known for telling jokes on the mic -- but the dude can drop bars as well ... just take a look for yourself.
The comedian was on hand Saturday for the Cincinnati Music Festival at Paycor Stadium -- where Snoop Dogg was one of the headliners ... and where Dave actually intro'd him before he came on stage and rocked the house.
Snoop's set was obviously awesome -- but even after he left the stage ... the show wasn't quite over (despite the place looking kinda empty toward the end). Dave had a few parting words for whoever was left ... including some raps of his own, which he spit live.
Check it out for yourself ... Dave delivered a little speech about the state of Ohio, and how happy he was that they were welcoming Snoop with open arms. It seems like he was also doing a little tribute to hip-hop at large, 'cause he launched into a Erik B./Rakim song.
Indeed ... DC rapped to 'Paid in Full,' this while the backing band played the beat on their instruments. It was pretty cool, and in the footage we have ... you can see the remaining crowd was vibing along.
After he was done, Dave got the VIP treatment in getting the hell out of there ... a little golf cart ride, where he zipped away looking like a rockstar. The man ... the legend!

Tom Sandoval No Bad Blood With Adele, Despite Diss
Tom Sandoval says he has no issue with Adele despite her dragging him over his cheating scandal ... and she's far from canceled in his world.
The "Vanderpump Rules" star was out Tuesday in the San Fernando Valley when a pap asked him about Adele dissing him last month during her Las Vegas residency.
Remember ... Adele asked the crowd what exactly Tom did for a living other than cheat on his girlfriend on reality TV, and she wasn't impressed by his music career.
Tom's taking it all in stride though ... saying he understands why Adele would have a negative view of him based purely on 'Scandoval,' which he feels is no fault of hers.
While Tom says he's never been to an Adele concert, he wouldn't turn down an opportunity to see her perform just because she gave him a hard time.
Tom Sandoval Back Filming 'Vanderpump Rules' After 'Special Forces' Shoot
Tom's obviously had a lot worse said about him -- mainly from costars, and especially his ex, Ariana Madix -- so, it makes sense he's basically unbothered by Adele joining the chat.
Plus, as he explains, filming the new 'VPR' season is the real challenge.

Zendaya & Tom Holland Driver Pulls Off Without Him ... You Forgot, Spider-Man!!!
Tom Holland's getting a cold shoulder from his own driver ... who forgot one-half of the precious celeb cargo he was carrying around London.
Here's the deal -- Tom and Zendaya were leaving Chiltern Firehouse Saturday night after grabbing some dinner ... and while his GF was safe and sound in the vehicle, Tom's entrance into the car was cut short when the driver took off early!
Have no fear, the driver quickly pumped the brakes -- probably filled with panic -- and Tom got in the back with Zendaya ... leading to what we're sure was an awkward car ride between Tom and the driver.
That wasn't the only cringe-filled thing to go down Saturday night, though ... before the ride debacle, Zendaya was getting the true celeb treatment in the UK, posing for a pic with some fans while Tom seemed to grab none of their attention.
Of course, Tom's an England native while Zendaya's a foreigner, growing up in Oakland, CA -- maybe the Brits have already had their fill of good ol' Spider-Man!

Attempted Robbery Gone Wrong Gimme All Your Money, Please??? Salon Hilariously Unfazed
A man was spotted on camera allegedly trying to hold up an ATL nail salon, but ultimately failed -- all thanks to the staff and customers who couldn't care less about his demands.
The attempted robbery gone wrong went down this week at Nail First, and in the security footage, the man holds up what you'd assume is a weapon inside his bag ... shouting at everyone in the spot to hand over the cash.
Shockingly, his brute request fell on deaf ears -- he even goes up to the man behind the counter, who seems too busy for his BS ... taking a phone call and walking away.
The guy does snatch the phone from one woman, who ends up walking out of the building -- but everyone else remains chill ... and after some painfully-awkward silence, the guy just takes off without stealing any dough.
Crime Stoppers is working on finding the wannabe crook, according to Fox5 Atlanta ... and customer Lesa Barrow told the outlet the owner was scared at first but kept his cool to keep everyone else calm.
Time for this alleged thief to find a new line of work, because he ain't great at this!
