Las tensiones de Drake con Megan Thee Stallion están otra vez en el centro de atención después de que algunos fans tomaran su aparentemente inofensivo mensaye de apoyo a su fotógrafa, durante un concierto de Houston, y lo dieran la vuelta en otra dirección.

Durante el show de Drake el 18 de septiembre, el rapero se tomó el tiempo para reconocer a su fotógrafa MegYup, y que todo el público vitoreara por "esta Meg, no por esa otra Meg".

Dado que Drake ha mencionado antes a la estrella del rap de Houston, a quien efectivamente desprecia en la canción "Circo Loco", los fans se volvieron locos especulando una vez que el clip comenzó a circular en las redes sociales.

Megan The Stallion tomó sus propias redes sociales para dejar las cosas claras, acusando a los trolls de arruinar su gran momento de gloria. Pero finalmente lo dejó pasar, e hizo mención al próximo álbum de Drake, que se lanzará en octubre.

Alex Spiro, quien representó a Thee Stallion durante el juicio contra Tory Lanez, dijo a TMZ Hip Hop que Drake y otros dudosos quedarían como tontos después del veredicto ... y bueno, la historia jugó a su favor.

Drake's tensions with Megan Thee Stallion are back in the spotlight after some fans took his seemingly harmless shoutout -- during his Houston concert -- and flipped it into another diss.

During Drake's September 18 show, he took time out to shout photographer MegYup by name, quipping, "Real H-Town love, shout out to Meg one time for real … not that Meg, this Meg.”

Given his past mentioning of the Houston rap star -- he effectively dissed her on the "Her Loss" track "Circo Loco" -- fans went wild with speculation once the clip began to circulate on social media.

MegYup took to her own social media to set the record straight, accusing unintelligible trolls of ruining her big moment of glory -- but eventually she called it a day, and simply plugged his upcoming album.

Alex Spiro, who represented Thee Stallion during her trial against Tory Lanez, told TMZ Hip Hop that Drake and other doubters would have egg on their faces ahead of the verdict ... which history shows went in their favor.

Peso Pluma isn't gonna take any chances with the Mexican cartel ... canceling next month's show in Tijuana after death threats made to the singer were spotted in the city.

The cancellation was announced on Instagram Wednesday -- music labels Double P Records and Prajin Music Group said in a statement, "Our goal is to protect the fans and the team. For the safety of everyone involved, we will cancel our show in Tijuana."

As we reported, it's been a week since the 24-year-old singer was in the cartel's crosshairs ... when banners were spotted within the city, warning Peso to not come to Tijuana and perform.

They read, "This goes to Peso Pluma, refrain from presenting yourself on October 14, because it will be your last show due to your disrespect and loose tongue." Seems the message was received loud and clear.

The threat was signed by the Jalisco New Generation Cartel, an organization based in the city where Peso was born.

Peso Pluma no va a correr ningún riesgo con el cartel mexicano. El cantante acaba de cancelar el show del próximo mes en Tijuana después de recibir amenazas de muerte.

La cancelación se anunció este miércoles en Instagram. Los sellos discográficos Double P Records y Prajin Music Group dijeron en un comunicado: "Nuestro objetivo es proteger a los fans y al equipo. Por la seguridad de todos los involucrados, cancelaremos nuestro show en Tijuana".

Como bien informamos, ha pasado justo una semana desde que el cantante de 24 años recibiera amenazas de parte del cartel, cuando diversas pancartas en la ciudad le advertían que no viniera a actuar a Tijuana.

Las advertencias decían: "Esto va para ti Peso Pluma, abstente de presentarte el día 14 de octubre porque será tu última presentación, esto por irrespetuoso y lengua suelta. Te presentas y te vamos a partir toda tu madre. Att CJNG”, decía el mensaje, y parece que fue recibido fuerte y claro.

La amenaza fue firmada por el Cartel Jalisco Nueva Generación, una organización con sede en la ciudad donde nació Peso.

Tory Lanez fue enviado a North Kern State Prison el miércoles para comenzar a cumplir su condena por el caso de disparo contra Megan Thee Stallion, y parece que allí es donde se quedará, a menos que su equipo legal sea capaz de sacarlo mientras apela a su condena.

Hemos indagado que la instalación de seguridad que alberga a más de 4.000 reclusos, será donde Tory pasará al menos los primeros meses de su sentencia de 10 años. Aunque el lugar ha hecho noticia en el último tiempo.

Los reportes locales revelan que el asesino en serie y convicto Ramón Escobar, fue acusado de asesinato en primer grado después de presuntamente matar a su compañero de celda a principios de este año. Juan Villanueva, de 53 años, cumplía condena por agresión sexual con agravantes a un menor cuando fue hallado muerto en su celda en febrero.

Además, el 4 de julio, Ricardo Saldivar, de 25 años, fue encontrado muerto en su celda, y los funcionarios del Departamento de Correcciones y Rehabilitación de California están investigando la muerte como un homicidio.

Además este mismo mes, un ex recluso y delincuente sexual convicto fue declarado culpable en relación con un incidente ocurrido en 2020 en el que fue acusado de atacar a un par de funcionarios de prisiones.

La instalación está equipada con una valla eléctrica alrededor del perímetro, pero varios reclusos se han escapado en los últimos años, según los informes.

Tory Lanez is officially on the inside ... ensconced at the prison where he'll likely spend the next 10 years, and the facility is no cakewalk, as multiple murders have happened there just this year.

North Kern State Prison in Delano, California houses around 4,000 inmates, and recently became the focus of local news media after a vicious crime within its walls.

Reports say convicted serial killer Ramon Escobar was recently charged with first-degree murder after allegedly killing his cellmate, 53-year-old Juan Villanueva back in February.

Villanueva was locked up for aggravated sexual assault of a child.

Additionally, on July 4, 25-year-old Ricardo Saldivar was found dead in his cell, and officials with the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation are now investigating his death as a homicide.

There's also violence with inmates and correctional officers ... just this month a former inmate and convicted sex offender was found guilty in connection to a 2020 incident where he was accused of attacking a pair of staffers.

The facility is fitted with an electric fence around the perimeter ... but several inmates have reportedly been able to escape over the years.

Tory Lanez is settling into his new life behind bars, getting transferred to state prison and posing for a new mug shot ... one where he looks none too pleased.

We just obtained the pic, Tory's hair looks messy and he's certainly not smiling ... sporting a scowl on his face. As for where he'll be housed, Tory checked in Tuesday at North Kern State Prison in Delano, California ... about 145 miles from Los Angeles.

As we reported, Tory was sentenced to 10 years behind bars last month for negligent discharge of a firearm, assault with a semiautomatic firearm, and carrying a loaded and unregistered firearm.

Tory can find plenty to do in order to stay busy while he's locked up, we're told the prison offers a bunch of different jobs with wages ranging from $.08 an hour for unskilled labor, and up to $.30 an hour for skilled labor ... but he's gotta apply for those gigs.

Quavo stormed Capitol Hill Wednesday morning on behalf of his Rocket Foundation, and he arrived with the clear-cut agenda of tackling gun violence ... TMZ Hip Hop has learned.

The ex-Migos frontman was joined by his mother and his older sister, Takeoff's mother, as part of the 52nd Annual Legislative Conference.

Quavo met with House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries, Senator Cory Booker, Representatives Lucy McBath, Steven Horsford, Lisa Blunt Rochester, Robin Kelly, Maxwell Frost and community organizer Greg Jackson to voice his complaints.

Quavo's Rocket Foundation was established to bring awareness for gun violence prevention on both a state and federal level.

Several of the Congress members have an active "Break the Cycle of Violence Act" campaign, and we're told all parties were working Wednesday on viable solutions in a closed-door meeting.

Takeoff was shot and killed in November 2022, and Quavo hasn't stopped honoring his legacy.

Tory Lanez se está asentando en su nueva vida tras las rejas. Esto, luego de ser transferido a la prisión estatal y posar para una nueva foto policial en la que no se ve muy contento.

Acabamos de obtener la fotografía, donde ciertamente no se ve a gusto con el ceño fruncido y el pelo algo desordenado. En cuanto a dónde va a ser alojado, el rapero se registró el martes en North Kern State Prison en Delano, California, cerca de 145 millas de Los Ángeles.

Como informamos, Tory fue condenado a 10 años tras las rejas el mes pasado por tres cargos: disparar de forma negligente un arma de fuego, asalto con un arma de fuego semiautomática, y llevar un arma de fuego cargada y no registrada.

Tory puede encontrar mucho que hacer para mantenerse ocupado mientras esté encerrado. Nos han dicho que la prisión ofrece un montón de diferentes empleos, con salarios que van desde $0,08 por hora para mano de obra no calificada, hasta $0,30 por hora para mano de obra calificada. Pero aún tiene que aplicar para esos trabajos.

Quavo irrumpió en el Capitol Hill este miércoles por la mañana, en representación de su Fundación Rocket, y llegó con el propósito claro de hacer frente a la violencia por armas de fuego, según ha indagado TMZ Hip Hop.

El ex frontman de Migos fue acompañado por su madre, su hermana mayor y la madre de Takeoff, como parte de la 52ª Conferencia Legislativa Anual.

Quavo se reunió con el líder demócrata de la Cámara de Representantes, Hakeem Jeffries, el senador Cory Booker, los representantes Nikema Williams, Steven Horsford, Lisa Blunt Rochester, Robin Kelly, Maxwell Frost y el organizador comunitario Greg Jackson para expresar sus quejas.

La Fundación Rocket de Quavo se creó con el fin de generar conciencia sobre prevención de la violencia armada, tanto a nivel estatal como federal.

Varios de los congresistas han sido activos en la campaña "Break the Cycle of Violence Act", y nos cuentan que todas las partes estuvieron trabajando en soluciones viables, en una reunión a puerta cerrada este miércoles.

Takeoff fue asesinado a tiros en noviembre de 2022, y Quavo no ha dejado de honrar su legado.

An Alabama high school band director was in for a shock after refusing to stop a musical performance that cops asked him to stop -- and we mean he literally got a shock!

Johnny Mims was arrested Thursday in Birmingham for disorderly conduct and a slew of other charges, after police say he disobeyed their orders to tell his band kids to stop playing after a football game had ended, as the school was trying to clear the place out.

New body cam footage was released showing last week's confrontation, and it's pretty wild. The guy basically tells cops to piss off, refusing to halt things ... and then getting Tasered.

It's unclear why Mims didn't wanna comply, but what is clear is that he was dead-set on doing this last song with the band in the stands -- even though the game was long over. Supposedly, this follows in some sort of "5th quarter" tradition, but, on its face, it's bizarre.

Anyway, things escalated quickly. The first officer who responds tells Mims it's time to go and that he's gotta wrap it up ... but Mims tells him to get out of his face, continuing to conduct even though the cop was standing right in front of him. The band kids kept playing loudly too.

Eventually, more officers arrived, and they attempted to restrain/cuff Mims, which led to a clear struggle between the cops. Other folks appear to have gotten in the mix as well.

At a point, one cop threatens to tase Mims if he doesn't settle down ... and then the electricity starts flowing. He looks to have been zapped at least 3 times.

Chicago has been plagued by carjacking crimes in recent years ... and now video has emerged showing just how harrowing the experience can be for a victim.

Surveillance footage, obtained by the Daily Mail, captures the moment a man sitting in a parked car is targeted by gun-wielding assailants who arrive in two other vehicles and block him in at an intersection on September 2.

The man tries to drive away, but he's trapped. One suspect darts out of his car, pointing his gun at the driver. Gunmen from the second vehicle jump out and converge on the motorist as well.

You can't hear what's being said, but it's a good guess the suspects are ordering the man to get the f*** out of the car so they can steal it.

And eventually, that's what happens. The bad guys drive away in their cars, as well as the one they just jacked from the driver, leaving him face down in the middle of the street.

Luckily, the man wasn't hit by a passing automobile. He got up and ran away but did not report the terrifying ordeal to Chicago PD.

Chicago ha estado plagado de delitos de robo de carros los últimos años y ahora ha surgido un video que muestra lo desgarrador que la experiencia puede ser para una víctima.

Las imágenes de vigilancia (obtenidas por el Daily Mail) captan el momento en que un hombre sentado en un carro estacionado es blanco de asaltantes armados que llegan en otros dos vehículos y le bloquean el paso en un cruce el 2 de septiembre.

El hombre intenta huir con el carro pero está atrapado. Uno de los sospechosos sale y apunta al conductor con su arma. Los hombres armados del segundo vehículo saltan y convergen en el automovilista también.

No se oye lo que dicen, pero los sospechosos ordenan al hombre que salga del carro para poder robarlo.

Y al final, eso es lo que ocurre. Los malhechores se marchan en sus carros, así como el que acaban de robar al conductor, dejándolo boca abajo en medio de la calle.

Por suerte el hombre no fue atropellado por un automóvil que pasaba. Se levantó y huyó, pero no denunció la aterradora experiencia a la policía de Chicago.

With the Tory Lanez shooting trial in the rearview and a new collab with Cardi B in the books, Megan Thee Stallion's comeback is imminent.

In a new interview with Billboard published Tuesday, Meg confirmed she was closing all "old chapters" and looking forward to the future ... which includes a new album and partnership with Hot Cheetos.

Meg promised to deliver nothing but tea -- in the form of her music and revealed she is now co-producing songs with her longtime collaborator LilJuMadeDaBeat.

"Expect a lot of rawness, a lot of realness, a lot of s*** talking. Just know I’m coming and I hope everybody ready," she warned.

Meg expressed constant mental breakdowns during the Tory trial but told BB that physical fitness was the key to her sanity, something she recently shared on IG in a viral workout video.

Con el juicio por el tiroteo de Tory Lanez en el retrovisor y una nueva collab con Cardi B en los libros, el regreso de Megan Thee Stallion es inminente.

En una nueva entrevista con Billboard publicada el martes, Meg confirmó que estaba cerrando todos los "viejos capítulos" y mirando hacia el futuro ... que incluye un nuevo álbum y una asociación con Hot Cheetos.

Meg prometió entregar nada más que té - en la forma de su música y reveló que ahora está co-produciendo canciones con su colaborador desde hace mucho tiempo LilJuMadeDaBeat.

"Esperen un montón de crudeza, un montón de realismo, un montón de s*** hablando. Sabed que voy a ir y espero que todo el mundo esté preparado", advirtió.

Meg expresó constantes colapsos mentales durante el juicio de Tory, pero le dijo a BB que la aptitud física era la clave de su cordura, algo que recientemente compartió en IG en un video viral de entrenamiento.

It seems like Blueface's street code is preventing law enforcement from putting together a case against his alleged assailant.

The L.A. County District Attorney's office tells TMZ Hip Hop ... the case has been rejected, for now, due to Blueface's lack of cooperation with the investigation. The video doesn't clearly show everything necessary to bring a criminal case, so, we're told investigators needed cooperation from witnesses to move forward.

According to docs, Blueface refused to answer any of the responding officer's questions, refused to provide his ID and even rejected medical aid ... though he quickly posted his bloody injury on social media, assuring fans he was good.

As we previously told you, Brandon Henrysnell had turned himself in on August 24, and was booked for felony assault with a deadly weapon.

But, the case won't go any further ... as authorities reviewed the footage, and while it clearly shows an altercation, it's missing the key moment Brandon allegedly stabbed Blueface.
