Morgan Wallen got a face full of thong during a recent concert, when a fan threw the underwear garment at him as he performed on stage ... and it's all on video!!!

It's pretty funny ... Morgan was doing his thing at U.S. Bank Stadium in Minneapolis when all of a sudden a blue thong comes flying towards him, landing on his face -- with a little coverage from his hat.

The panties carom off Morgan's dome and then he catches them with one hand like Randy Moss before finishing the lyric like nothing happened. We'll admit ... it's all pretty smooth.

Justin Timberlake was not intoxicated or otherwise under the influence during a concert last month -- this despite the internet thinking they found a gotcha clip ... TMZ has learned.

Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ ... a resurfaced viral video that appears to show JT looking what some have suggested is "under the influence" or out of sorts is simply being over-analyzed way too much by folks looking to unfairly condemn the guy.

While online trolls have said Justin looks out of sorts in this clip -- which was filmed and posted in May during one of his Vegas concerts, and which has since gone viral in the wake of his DWI arrest -- our sources tell us he wasn't even close to that state of mind.

Jennifer Lopez is becoming super relatable amid her marital woes with Ben Affleck ... getting back to her Jenny From The Block roots with some commercial air travel.

Check out these photos/video, obtained by TMZ, showing J Lo's mode of transportation over in Europe ... and no, this ain't a private jet -- it's a regular old airplane full of a bunch of normies, on which she flew Saturday going from Naples to Paris.

The singer/actress was in the cabin with everyone else, and had a bodyguard sitting next to her ... taking up aisle duty while she occupied the window seat, minding her business.

50 Cent will be front and center for the Earn Your Leisure's Invest Fest in Atlanta -- TMZ Hip Hop can reveal the booming businessman is this year's headliner!!!

The event is right up 50's alley ... he and attorney Ben Crump recently went to Washington, D.C. in the name of Black entrepreneurship, pushing for minority representation in the alcohol biz ... and we're told he'll speak to that topic and much more during the annual event.

Even more fittingly, 50 will succeed Diddy, who hosted last year's Invest Fest, and we all know how "competitive" he's been with Puff for years, and especially lately ... in the wake of the latter's slew of legal issues.

Kendrick Lamar's "Not Like Us" is one of the hottest tracks on the planet, and Recording Academy CEO Harvey Mason Jr. says a diss track winning a Grammy might not be conventional ... but now it's definitely possible!

TMZ Hip Hop spoke with the Grammy czar Monday at LAX, where he told us he's been feeling the cultural avalanche of "Not Like Us," just like everyone else is.

K. Dot shot the music video in Compton over the weekend, and its release will inevitably breathe new life into the song -- which, while being extremely danceable, is still primarily, a huge shot at Drake.

XXL magazine's debuting its 2024 Freshman class and riding the wave of Kendrick Lamar's "Not Like Us," but the outlet's also overlooking the song's main theme -- showing love for the West Coast!!!

The annual cover, which dropped Monday, only allows for 10 spots and this year's lineup filled 5 slots with artists from New York and other East Coast cities, including Cash Cobain ... who TMZ Hip Hop caught up with in March to speak on his viral "Fisherrr" moment.

Texas lyricists BigXthaPlug and That Mexican OT were also celebrated on social media for earning their spots through skill -- but fans on PDT were left confused as to why the rankings were so lopsided.

Joe Budden is convinced the dismantling of Drake amid the 2024 Rap Wars started with his pen ... thereby blazing a path for Pusha T and Kendrick Lamar to polish him off!!!

In a recent X Spaces, JB argued Drake's decline wasn't only due to K. Dot's "Not Like Us" victory lap, because his diss songs came first, and long before this year.

Back in 2016, JB went on an anti-Drake warpath, dropping several diss tracks aimed at Champagne Papi -- at the time, Joe took some of Drake's raps as sneaky shots.

Kendrick Lamar's "Not Like Us" video went down in Compton over the weekend without a stitch of negativity ... and Jason Martin was there and witnessed all the love and harmony.

The "Like Whaaat" rapper joined TMZ Live on Monday to run back the whirlwind of events that culminated this past week for rap's biggest moments of the year ... which capped off with a music video shoot for K.Dot's West Coast anthem.

JM was a featured performer at Kendrick's Pop-Out concert last week ... and he and Kendrick grew up in the area where "Not Like Us" was filmed -- so, based on his experience, it was as safe as could be ... even for those who weren't from the neighborhood.

Aaron Carter was worth a fair bit of money when he died -- and we're now getting a sense of just how much dough there was in his pot ... a 6-figure amount, at least.

The late singer's estate filed new court docs, obtained by TMZ, laying out a partial inventory and appraisal that puts a dollar amount on what they say Aaron's estate was worth ... based on what they've been able to appraise thus far.

The estate says Aaron's valuables/assets are worth an estimated $757,400 ... as of April 2023.

Shaboozey is blowing up right now over a song plugging Jack Daniel's -- so it's only fitting that he poured a crap ton of the whiskey brand while raging in Miami ... and we got footage.

The "A Bar Song (Tipsy)" singer made sure Jack Daniel's had a history with partygoers at E11VEN ... buying 111 whiskey shots as he performed his hit song on the stage.

Check out the video ... Shaboozey is doing his thing on a crowded stage as servers pass out shots, and the whole place is singing along as he downs some whiskey himself.

Taylor Swift isn't taking Dave Grohl's comment about her "Eras" tour too kindly -- and she took the first possible opportunity to fire back, declaring she and her band do, indeed, perform live!

ICYMI ... the Foo Fighters frontman appeared to make a dig at the pop star Saturday, joking his band's tour is called the "Errors Tour" as they "actually play live" ... seeming to imply Taylor does not.

Well, less than a day after that perceived dig, Taylor appeared to directly respond to Dave during night 3 of her Wembley Stadium residency ... as she called out her band in a particular way.

Kesha won't say anything about Katy Perry working with her old nemesis Dr. Luke again ... but it's clear she's feeling some type of way, and her facial expressions are a dead giveaway.

The singer was at LAX this weekend when a photog asked her about Katy collaborating with Luke on new music -- something that was confirmed last week -- and while she remained mum on the topic, her body language certainly telegraphs how she really feels.

Check it out ... Kesha definitely isn't running from the question here -- and she actually reacts to it -- albeit, without any words. Instead, she smirks and then gets into her car -- it's telling.

All eyes were on Paris this weekend -- but not because of the forthcoming Olympics ... it all had to do with celebs who got dressed up in wacky outfits and posed in front of cameras.

Countless stars descended upon the City of Light Sunday for Vogue World 2024 -- a fashion event rivaling the Met Gala and fashion week itself. The event went down Sunday at the famed Place Vendôme ... where A-listers were channeling an Olympics theme.

There were plenty of famous faces ... Cara Delevingne, Joey King, Selma Blair, Pharrell Williams, Emma Chamberlain and more all showed off some pretty out-there looks.

Taylor Swift's concert got a little buggy Sunday after she swallowed an insect during her Sunday "Eras" show in London.

The pop star hit the stage for the third night in a row at Wembley Stadium ... and during the 10-minute version of "All Too Well," there was a fly in the ointment -- AKA her mouth.

Check out the vid ... Taylor was strumming her guitar, standing at the mic, when suddenly announced she had swallowed the bug and asked the audience to pinch hit and sing the lyrics.

Taylor Swift's mixing business and pleasure -- finally bringing Travis Kelce out onstage with her in London Sunday ... and, we gotta say he nailed the choreography.

The singer-songwriter took the stage in England's capital Sunday -- her third show this weekend -- and, her footballer boyfriend went from spectator to spectacle ... hitting the stage in a tuxedo and top hat.

This all went down during "The Tortured Poets Department" part of her set ... as part of the intro for "I Can Do It With a Broken Heart" she pretended to throw a tantrum and collapse to the stage.

Michael Jackson would be happy to learn his former pet chimp, named Bubbles, is living the good life as an elder primate ... according to the sanctuary that took him in.

Patti Ragan -- director of the Center for Great Apes in Wauchula, FL --  tells TMZ ... Bubbles has a lot of freedom at the sanctuary. He's able to explore tunnels, build a nest under a tree, take daily midday naps and occasionally even paint!

Bubbles, now 41, is regularly checked out by a veterinarian and caregiver staff ... and weighs in at 180 pounds. BTW, the lifespan for a chimp in captivity is between 50 and 60 years.
