Diddy's mother and his twin daughters visited him behind bars in Brooklyn, and the visit was so compelling for his mom ... she broke her silence on her son's legal troubles.

Alex says Piers was exploiting the rumor mill by allowing these false allegations to hit the airwaves ... and he says he gave Piers an ultimatum ... remove the claims and apologize, or face a court order to take the interview down.

Snoop Dogg made the necessary steps earlier this year to ensure his rocky legal past becomes ancient history -- The Doggfather's 1993 murder charge was officially sealed earlier this year!!!

TMZ Hip Hop obtained legal docs showing Snoop asked a judge to seal the records way back in January 2024 ... the court signed off in late February, granting the petition to have his arrest sealed.

The trial was huge news at the time ... Snoop was still budding as a superstar and infamously got arrested following his passionate MTV Awards performance of his hit "Murder Was The Case," a track created around the frenzy over the allegations. Snoop and a bodyguard were accused of shooting a man in an L.A. Park in 1993.

Lil Tay is calling out the double standards of certain music fans and industry watchers, bringing Halsey into the mix to highlight the different treatment she gets compared to her peers when it comes to new releases and personal challenges.

The 17-year-old rapper came for the haters in an IG vid Wednesday, expressing her confusion over Halsey being hailed as empowering for dropping new material the same day she talked about her "cancer" diagnosis. (Just to be clear, Halsey doesn't have cancer -- she’s dealing with both lupus and a rare T-cell disorder).

Lil Tay pointed out when she dropped the music video for her new track "Growing Up" just weeks after her own heart surgery last month, people were quick to accuse her of using her health struggles as a PR stunt to promote her song.

She rounded out her classic Hollywood look by wearing a light-brown fur coat ... which we're sure will send PETA into a tizzy.

The smashed-up Taylor Swift guitar has found a new home ... because someone bought the controversial item on eBay.

According to the e-commerce site, someone scooped up the guitar -- which was featured in a viral video at the end of September -- on Tuesday evening for a whopping $6,550 ... even amid doubts about the guitar's authenticity.

As TMZ previously reported ... Gary Estes, a Texas resident, spent $4,000 at a charity auction on a guitar advertised as bearing a Taylor Swift signature on it. Upon receiving the guitar at the auction, Gary was also handed a hammer ... and proceeded to smash it up.

Tyler, The Creator had a change of heart -- and change of transmission -- toward Elon Musk during a recent performance, dissing the Tesla CEO in front of thousands of fans!!!

The Grammy winner shut down ACL Festival 2024 last weekend, and folks captured his new rendition of the 2017 "Flower Boy" track "911/Mr. Lonely" ... Tyler flipped the lyrics from "Sucks you can't gas me up / Shout out to Elon" to simply say "F*** Elon!!!"

He didn't miss a beat or slip up the delivery ... the lyric switch could have been pre-planned -- or Tyler meant it with every fiber of his soul in the moment!!!

In the docs, Diddy's legal team argues he poses no conceivable flight risk ... contrary to what federal prosecutors have been claiming.

Taylor Swift's influence can do wonders for a small business ... Fazit Beauty happily learned this is true after the singer wore their brand at an NFL game.

Co-founder Aliett Buttelman tells TMZ ... she was always determined to get the glitter freckles in front of the pop star following Fazit Beauty's launch back in May. Per Aliett, she felt the trend fit Taylor's vibe on the 'Eras' tour ... which sees the chart-topper in a number of glittery outfits.

In an effort to get the glitter freckles into Taylor's makeup bag, Aliett confessed to sending a PR package to the agency that represents the pop star's makeup artist. Though, Aliett isn't 100% certain if this is how they got on Taylor's radar ... citing a few viral TikToks and Instagram posts as other possibilities.

Cassie was pushing through with Diddy during their tough years together ... making it seem like all was well in their relationship while onstage with him in Dubai -- before finally calling it quits.

TMZ obtained this clip of Cassie playing along with Diddy during his first-ever Dubai performance in April 2018, and you can see she was doing her best as the rapper performed "I Need a Girl (Part 2)" at the opening night of the now-closed Gotha Nightclub.

On the surface, the pair looked happy, with Cassie glowing as she busted out some moves. She got up close to share a hug with him before making her move way to the edge of the stage.
