Diplo's in the Pride Month spirit ... posting a totally nude pic of himself -- with a rainbow exploding from where the sun don't shine.

The music producer posted a pic on social media Saturday in honor of the first day of Pride ... wishing his followers a happy holiday -- and sharing a pic of himself naked, legs dangling in the air.

On top of the pose, Diplo added a rainbow to the pic ... and, it's pretty clearly blasting right out of the guy's booty.

Nicki Minaj's claims that cops went after her because of her race are under fire ... with the police organization calling BS on her telling of the situation.

The Dutch Military Police addressed comments Nicki made during a recent live stream on the popular social media app Stationhead ... where she straight-up said cops went after her because she's part of a "confident other race."

Watch the video to hear Nicki's full comments ... on top of calling out the DMP for alleged racism, she also seems to reference a bit of sexism -- explaining she only interacted with one woman during the incident, and she was the only kind person.

Jennifer Lopez looks like she's carrying the weight of the world on her shoulders lately with all the drama in her life -- and we have the pics to prove it.

J Lo shared a somber look as she rolled up in a white car to Mihran K. Studios in Burbank on Friday. The singer/actress got out of the vehicle and greeted her team nearby, hugging one of the women before they all went inside the dance studio.

Seems like J Lo needed a little love and support from her peeps as she navigates through this rough patch in her life.  But the positive vibes didn't last ... As J Lo later exited the studio, she was photographed looking down sadly at her cell phone before she climbed inside her car, which drove her away.

Kesha is once again singing about Diddy ... but, as you might imagine, what she says about him ain't too flattering.

The singer hit the stage at WeHo Pride 2024 in L.A. Friday night, cranking out an alternate version of her hit, "Tik Tok." Diddy would not have been impressed.

Check out the vid, obtained by TMZ ... Kesha, surrounded by her dancers, is standing at her microphone moving her hips to the beat of the tune.

Jennifer Lopez will not be hitting the road this summer after all -- as the singer is canceling her planned tour outright, even before it starts ... TMZ has learned.

A rep for Live Nation tells us Jen's "THIS IS ME...LIVE" tour -- which was supposed to get underway in June and hit a bunch of North American venues through August -- is getting completely scrapped.

The reason ... we're told, J Lo is "taking time off to be with her children, family and close friends." Jen herself also addressed the cancelation, hopping on her site OntheJLo to say, ... "I am completely heartsick and devastated about letting you down. Please know that I wouldn’t do this if I didn’t feel that it was absolutely necessary."

Rihanna has yet another reason to tack on that "Queen" title in front of her name ... she now holds the record for most Diamond-stamped releases, according to the RIAA.

On Friday, RiRi and Roc Nation were showered with a slew of new plaques -- including Diamond certifications for her Jay-Z-assisted "Umbrella," the Drake-featured "Work," as well as her classic tracks "Needed Me" and "Stay."

Rihanna had previously been tied at 3 Diamond releases with several other female megastars but talked that talk reacting to the news on X ... she declared "Ain’t no back n forth."

John Lennon's son has finally read Prince Harry's memoir ... and he's crapping on it.

Sean Ono Lennon -- John and Yoko Ono's only kid -- says he's cracked open the Duke of Sussex's memoir, a year after its release, and he was left underwhelmed by the tell-all, writing ... "My long awaited review of Prince Harry’s autobiography is two words. 'Spare Me.'"

As fans of the prince hit back at Sean's criticism in his comments, the musician doubled down, calling the prince "a buffoon" and an "idiot" in replies to various people online.

Kendrick Lamar and Drake ending their beef doesn't mean the 2024 Rap Wars have a ceasefire ... 'cause Cardi B just fired a ton of shots on "Whole Lotta Money" rapper BIA.

Both Cardi and BIA have been cryptically dissing each other for some time now and Cardi let her have it on GloRilla and Megan Thee Stallion's red-hot "Wanna Be (Remix)."

Cardi acknowledged she sees BIA's sneak disses on her timeline ... "Guess I’m a teacher since you wanna sub me" before slicing into BIA's résumé ... "Thought she was on the shelf, IKEA. Hope she talk like that when I see her/Bitch please, don’t nobody wanna be her BIA!!!"

Taylor Momsen -- the frontwoman for The Pretty Reckless band and one-time "Gossip Girl" star --must be feeling pretty rock 'n' roll right now ... 'cause she got bitten by a bat onstage.

Taylor -- who came up as an actress on 'GG' and as Cindy Lou Who in "How the Grinch Stole Christmas" -- was performing while opening for AC/DC in Spain, when a wild bat flew down and bit her on the leg.

The singer didn't even realize what had happened ... until members of the audience started pointing at her leg -- where the bat had latched on. The video is wild ... you gotta see it -- not to mention the aftermath.

Eminem didn't spare anyone's feelings on his first single which signals the last of his Slim Shady character -- he went after Dr. Dre, his own kids and even Megan Thee Stallion on this one.

On Friday, Em dropped both his newest single "Houdini" and the lyrics/visuals are exactly what you'd expect from hip hop's biggest-selling artist by now -- and so are the jabs that he fired off ... like the one aimed at MTS, which touched on her Tory Lanez shooting.

The song sounds and looks like his 2002 "Without Me" classic ... Em pokes fun at aging into a politically correct, social media/VR society -- yet still dons the 'ol Robin outfit and tackles today's topics with his Batman -- Dr. Dre -- by his side. Eminem is in rare form here.

NBA legend Bill Walton -- arguably the biggest Grateful Dead fan on the planet -- received a huge tribute at the Dead & Company Sphere show Thursday night ... three days after he tragically passed away.

The band -- which consists of John Mayer and Bob Weir, plus other former Grateful Dead members -- projected images of Walton behind them throughout their hourslong concert at the must-see attraction in Las Vegas.

Some of the pics displayed on the building's massive screens included Walton with Weir and Mickey Hart. They also featured the former Celtics center's No. 32 jersey number, rose petals ... and a whole bunch of tie-dye colors.

Diddy's family members were out and about in Los Angeles this week to celebrate one of his kids' graduation -- and that includes his two sons that were caught up in the West Coast raid.

The hip-hop mogul's brood hit the town Thursday night on the heels of his teenage daughter Chance's ceremony where she walked the stage as a high school grad -- and while Papa Bear himself wasn't there ... you could argue he was with them in spirit.

Justin and Christian "King" Combs were among the kiddos who hit Mr. Chow after graduation -- as you can see ... they weren't hiding or shying away from anything. In fact, they looked happy.

Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds turned their bestie Taylor Swift's "Eras" tour into quite the date night ... packing on the PDA during the singer's latest show.

The A-list couple stopped by Madrid's Santiago Bernabéu Stadium Thursday to watch their close pal's concert for the second night in a row -- and they were in the mood to smooch.

RR and BL -- who were once again joined by their children James, Inez and Betty -- made the most of their night out ... as fans caught Blake and Ryan sharing a kiss while they were out in the crowd when they had a moment to themselves.

Homeless people have been shuttled out of Edinburgh, Scotland ahead of Taylor Swift's "Eras" tour stops ... but a nonprofit fighting the injustice isn't laying the blame at her feet.

Shelter Scotland Director Alison Watson tells TMZ ... the country's capital should be able to host such a major event without creating a huge impact on the city's homeless population. Alison makes it clear though -- the org has no beef with Taylor.

Instead, she says they're pointing the finger at the "decades of underinvestment in social housing."

Lenny Kravitz's decision to go nearly a decade without taking anyone to bed is baffling for Ice-T ... so much so, he thinks the rock star is completely off his rocker.

After LK randomly revealed he's been on a spiritual journey that's led him to be celibate for 9 years, Ice-T reacted with the purest response you could imagine -- saying ... "9yrs without Sex? F that BS. Weirdo s***."

LK also revealed a deeply rooted reason why he's stayed celibate ... his parents split up when he was a teen and he watched his father spiral into a playboy lifestyle ... which became Lenny's reality once he divorced his ex Lisa Bonet.

Fat Joe's fact-and-fictitious raps have earned him a grand accolade ... the legendary rapper was just awarded an honorary doctorate from Lehman College in his Bronx hometown today.

TMZ Hip Hop got vid of the newly minted Dr. Joseph “Fat Joe” Cartagena on Thursday ... the Don was given a Doctorate of Humane Letters ... pretty much the standard certification for celebs with outstanding philanthropic contributions to society.

Joe took to the podium to share the secrets of success with the graduates -- the key is not to let age be a deterrent, he says.
