Diddy’s every move is being dissected following his recent bombshell indictment -- and now a bizarre resurfaced video shows him calling out Lindsay Lohan and Jessica Simpson over their skincare endorsements.

In the resurfaced clip from the early 2000s, a rambling Diddy rants about how LL and JS don’t deserve props for their Proactiv collabs, claiming he was onto the skincare brand 7 years before they ever did their commercials -- so, in his eyes, they were late to the game.

It's a seriously cringe-worthy clip, with Diddy going on about how his "silky smooth cocoa butter skin" was courtesy of Proactiv long before Lindsay and Jessica made it trendy in the beauty scene.

Kanye West appears to still be flying solo while enjoying Tokyo, Japan ... since the rapper's wife, Bianca Censori, was noticeably MIA on his latest excursion.

Tommy Richman is being hailed as the new Post Malone -- after publicly removing himself from the hip hop community to promote his new album!!!

The "Million Dollar Baby" singer released his "Coyote" album last week, and while spreading the word on social media, he declared the project "Album Of The Year" ... while telling fans to make no mistake about his music when he posted that he's NOT a hip hop artist.

The hip hop slander didn't sit well with Kendrick Lamar gunner DJ Hed -- who just happened to be prepping his mix for his Sirius XM show "Effective Immediately" -- and immediately removed Tommy from any potential playlists!!!

Fat Joe is still going hard for victims of the American healthcare system ... he's pumping a new “Power to the Patients” PSA, urging politicians to fix cryptic healthcare costs -- dropping it during crunch time of an election year!!!

That urgency is felt in the new ad ... Joe addresses political officials on both sides of the fence, with various American workers backing his every word.

“To every elected official and politician in America, the people stand united, desperate for you to listen,” Joe demands. “If you’re not advocating for prices and transparency in healthcare, you are compromising every single American across this country. Because when we can’t see prices -- hospitals, insurance, and their middlemen charge us whatever they want. Our very own healthcare system is robbing all of us. We just need the prices. That’s how our economy works!!!"

Drake's beef with Metro Boomin just got additional shelf life thanks to Fashion Nova ... they're encouraging dudes to compete with women and pop azz in a BBL Drizzy Halloween costume!!!

We're just a few weeks away from All Hallows' Eve, and Fashion Nova released a wide range of costumes -- including its "BBL Booty Butt Pad Costume Accessory - Nude" and the fake fanny-wearing model made no attempts to hide he's poking fun at Drake. 😬

From the multi-colored hair barrettes to the "Papi" sweatshirt (which seems to be sold separately) to the chewing gum wrapper grills, the entire ensemble is total public assault on Drake!!!

Turns out, there's not many NFL players who are hate hate hating on Taylor Swift's newfound presence in the league ... as a recent poll of pros revealed she has their support.

The Athletic asked over 100 NFLers earlier this season about Swift-mania -- which kicked off in September 2023 after she sparked a romance with Chiefs star Travis Kelce -- and for the most part, the guys said she's been great for business.

The outlet -- which granted the jocks anonymity so they could speak their minds freely -- reported a whopping 74 out of 102 players "viewed the singer’s interest in the game (and the coverage that stemmed from it) as a positive."

Lana Del Rey is opening up about her wedding to her alligator tour guide hubby Jeremy Dufrene ... but she doesn't seem very happy.

The singer took to the comments section of an Instagram fan account to complain about a couple from Louisiana who have been flying drones outside Lana and her husband's windows and pursuing them with a tracker.

She identified the culprits and said she would feel a lot safer if the two would stop following her family into secluded areas around the U.S. and turning her wedding ring into a pearl using photo-editing.

Rashee Rice's mother is being accused of swiping a package containing Chappell Roan records right from her neighbor's porch just hours after the Kansas City Chiefs receiver went down with an injury on Sunday ... and the neighbor says it was all captured on video.

TMZ Sports has obtained Ring footage of what one Texas resident claims shows Marsha Kearney -- wearing a custom "Momma-Rice" No. 4 jersey -- walk by their doorway and look right into the camera before walking down the hall around 6:39 PM CT on September 29, a few hours after the Chiefs defeated the Chargers in Los Angeles.

You can see the woman in the jersey then made her way back to the door, slid a package sitting on the ground with her foot and moved it out of frame (or so she thought).

Britney Spears' on-and-off-again boyfriend Paul Soliz is now going through a divorce ... because his wife just pulled the plug on their marriage.

According to new legal docs, obtained by TMZ, Paul's wife Nicole Mancilla beelined it to court Wednesday and filed for divorce after 8 years of marriage.

Nicole is going with the boilerplate "irreconcilable differences" as the reason for the split ... and she lists June 29, 2023 as the date of separation.

Beyoncé’s "Cowboy Carter" album may not have wrangled much award season glory yet, but she could be gearing up for a Grammy showdown -- rumor has it the album's been submitted for a major category at next year’s ceremony.

The Recording Academy's screening committee met last week to decide which albums and songs will compete at the February 2nd awards at L.A.'s Crypto.com Arena -- and Beyoncé's country album emerged as a favorite ... and is set to appear on the ballots for the Best Country Album category, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

Gary Estes, the Texas man who dropped $4,000 to smash a Taylor Swift guitar with a hammer, says she didn't actually put pen to instrument ... even though it features her autograph, and comes with a certificate of authenticity.

Gary joined us on "TMZ Live" Wednesday and settled a point of debate about the viral moment ... namely, was this guitar signed by Taylor?!?

Taylor did NOT sign the actual guitar ... instead, Gary says, it looks like Taylor signed a different piece of memorabilia that was affixed to the guitar.

The Hip Hop Grandmaster Awards are back for the second year, giving pioneering rap stars their flowers in the form of PHAT finances -- and Terry Crews will be front and center as this year's host!!!

Last year’s honorees, Rakim and Scarface, will also be in the building -- they both received $500K apiece at the inaugural event!!

Jaylen Brown stirred up a stink online with Ice Spice's Munchkins fanbase when he declared her "Think U The S**t (Fart)" song was the worst flood of diarrhea hip hop music ever experienced ... a comment on par for the opinions and buttholes equation, claims "Fisherrr" rapper Bay Swag!!!

TMZ Hip Hop caught up with Bay Swag in NYC earlier this week ... he, Ice Spice and Cash Cobain helped spread the sexy drill movement with the "Fisherrr (Remix)" earlier this year, which marches to the same drum as Ice's "Fart."

Of course, that means nothing to the 2024 NBA Finals MVP ... JB says Ice's pooting was the first song that came to mind ... and Bay Swag tells us JB has a right to feel that way, even if he doesn't agree.
