Diane Warren ain't about that drama -- she’s shutting down the Beyoncé vs. Taylor Swift debate, saying both are icons in their own right, no matter what the polls claim about who's reigning supreme.
ICYMI, Billboard crowned Queen Bey as the Greatest Pop Star of the 21st Century, and Swifties weren’t having it, calling it a total robbery, even though Taylor snagged the No. 2 spot.
Shaquille O'Neal got his wish by running into Taylor Swift at the Super Bowl ... but he seemed a bit more infatuated with the pop superstar's plus-one on Sunday -- revealing he has a big ol' crush on Ice Spice!!
The four-time NBA champ told TMZ Sports last week he wanted a seat right next to Travis Kelce's girlfriend for the Big Game between the Kansas City Chiefs and San Francisco 49ers ... and while that didn't happen, he still got to rub elbows with her on at least two different occasions throughout the night -- even gifting her a Judith Leiber bag, which comes with a $4,500 price tag.

Shaq made sure to show his appreciation for his run-in with Swift -- who ended up sitting with the "Think U The S*** (Fart)" rapper, Kelce fam and Blake Lively instead -- going to Instagram to share the interactions with his followers ... as well as his a special shoutout to 24-year-old IS.

Unclear what Ice thought of the gesture ... but gotta respect Shaq's courage to throw it all out there, even if it goes over like a "fart" in a windstorm.

Shaquille O'Neal cumplió su deseo de encontrarse con Taylor Swift en el Super Bowl, pero parecía un poco más encaprichado con la acompañante de la superestrella del pop el domingo, ¡revelando que tuvo un gran flechazo con Ice Spice!
El cuatro veces campeón de la NBA le dijo a TMZ Sports la semana pasada que quería un asiento justo al lado de la novia de Travis Kelce para el gran partido entre los Kansas City Chiefs y los San Francisco 49ers, y aunque eso no sucedió de todos modos pudo codearse con ella al menos en dos ocasiones diferentes durante la noche. Incluso le regaló un bolso Judith Leiber, que viene con una etiqueta de $4,500.

Shaq se aseguró de demostrarle su agradecimiento a Swift, quien terminó sentándose con la rapera de "Think U The S*** (Fart)", la familia de Kelce y su amiga Blake Lively, yendo a Instagram para compartir la interacción que tuvo con la estrella del pop con sus seguidores, así como un saludo especial a la cantante de 24 años, Ice Spice.

"y @icespice está tan condenadamente bien gracias @taylorswift," dijo Shaq en las redes sociales, lo que sin duda suena como que está lanzando sus fichas.
Su sección de comentarios se inundó con interpretaciones similares, con un usuario bromeando: "Shaq disparó su tiro ... pero fue un tiro libre 😞"

Otro añadió: "La última cosa que esperaría en mi página es Shaq diciendo que Ice Spice está buena".
No está claro lo que Ice pensó de todo esto, pero hay que respetar el coraje de Shaq para decir todo esto, incluso si se va como un "pedo" en una tormenta de viento.

Suge Knighthas questioned the legitimacy of losing his Death Row Records ownership since Snoop Doggacquired it -- but the label's co-owner says that's far from factual ... as they push the mighty DR into the next millennium!!!
Michael “Harry-O” Harris tells us Snoop's purchase of the label is as legit as it gets, and while he admits he's leery of having discussions about Suge ... he still feels the incarcerated ex-mogul is steaming with hot air!!!
TMZ.com
Harry-O has been involved with Death Row for some time now, but a beef between Suge and him quickly boiled over ... leaving both men at the helm during times while the other sat in prison.
Harris was pardoned on Donald Trump's last day as President and immediately got to work with Snoop, re-releasing the label's catalog onto streaming services, and dismissing Suge's commentary. As he put it, the loudest in the room isn't always the correct one.
Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.
Now that he and Snoop are in control, Harry-O says Death Row is back on its regular scheduled program -- movies, reggaeton, Afrobeats and more -- and they're coming for the entire doggy caboodle!!!
