Larsa Pippen Cardi Hatin' on My Sex Life? Look, She Wasn't in Bed with Us, Ok?!?
Cardi B called BS on Larsa Pippen's lofty sex life claims months ago -- and now, more than half a year later, she's finally weighing in ... and sticking to her bedroom story.
Larsa addressed the skirmish this weekend at BravoCon during a 'Real Housewives of Miami' panel ... where the moderator brought up what Cardi said about her waaaaay back in April. It's super old news, but the dude brought it up anyway ... and LP actually responded.
ICYMI ... Larsa went on Andy Cohen's 'WWHL' and said she and her ex, Scottie Pippen, used to bang 4 times a day -- but noted even that wasn't enough to save their marriage.
Reacting to that ... Cardi went on IG live about a month later and called Larsa out for what she considered clout-chasing, not to mention tall tales of love-making. She said doing it that many times in a day means something's seriously wrong with either the man or woman.
Of course, she also took some vulgar shots ... saying Larsa needed to "stitch your p***y up."
Now, all this time later ... Larsa said this, "I don't know how can someone else comment on how many times I have sex, you guys?" she said, addressing the audience at the event in Las Vegas. "She wasn't in bed with us, so I don't know. I kind of feel like that was comical."
So, there you have it ... Larsa says it happened, and that Cardi can zip it. FWIW, Cardi hasn't brought Larsa up much since then -- so her point is moot. Carry on, folks!

The Dove Shack Rapper C-Knight on Life Support ... Post-Stroke MRI to Come
-
Exclusive
- 1.4K shares
C-Knight -- an original member of rap group The Dove Shack -- is fighting for his life, with his loved ones waiting on some key tests before any next steps ... TMZ has learned.
The MC's father, George Lee Washington Blount Jr., tells us his son was hospitalized on Oct. 18 as a result of a scary blood sugar level -- which we're told stems from his diabetes. Blount says that while C-Knight was receiving dialysis, he somehow suffered a stroke.
In addition to that, we're told C-Knight went into cardiac arrest ... and that his heart stopped, with him needing to be resuscitated by doctors. At that point, Blount says C-Knight was placed on life support -- but Blount says even more health issues surfaced amid all this.
Since the stroke and cardiac arrest ... we're told C-Knight has been in an unresponsive state, and that the medical staff has told the family there's no signs of progress they're detecting.
As for where things stand now ... Blount tells us they're waiting on a crucial MRI scan to be done, which will tell if them if there's any notable brain activity. We're told the family believes he can battle back and recover from this ... despite how grim it looks at the moment.
In the case that the scan shows no brain activity -- which is the worst case scenario -- we're told his family plans to keep him on life support for the time being ... and will weigh their options. For the time being, they're praying for a miracle, hopeful he can pull through.
The Dove Shack only released 2 albums, but they're both memorable ... especially for their impact on the West Coast G-Funk movement in the '90s, which was spearheaded by Snoop Dogg and Warren G -- both of whom are familiar with these guys, and friendly with them.
The other members, 2Scoops and Bo-Roc, are obviously tight with C-Knight -- and Bo called for everyone to send their thoughts and well-wishes his way as CK tries to bounce back.
We've lost a lot of legends in hip-hop, and almost all of them were taken far too soon. Here's hoping C-Knight doesn't become one of them and is able to make a full recovery. 🙏🏽

RAY J RUSHES MOM TO HOSPITAL ... Bad Reaction to IV Therapy

Exclusive
- 1.3K shares
Ray J's mom, Sonja Norwood, is recovering from a bad reaction to something that's, generally speaking, good for you -- a home IV drip that turned into an emergency situation ... TMZ has learned.
The health drama unfolded when Sonja began feeling light-headed after the IV treatment ... which is meant to deliver essential vitamins and nutrients directly to the bloodstream.
It's a health and wellness trend popularized by celebs in recent years, and a few weeks ago ... Sonja decided to get in on the action.
Unfortunately, we're told there was no wellness involved that day ... as Sonja had to lie down due to sudden rapid breathing, which prompted her family, including Ray, to call an ambulance out of concern.
She got checked out at the hospital and, eventually, she was okay.
The IV therapy she got was a mix of C and B vitamins, as well as calcium and magnesium. It's meant to boost a patient's immune system, but side effects can include infection, rashes, blood clots, air embolism and more.
Back in 2018, Kendall Jenner was also hospitalized following a bad reaction to an IV vitamin drip. Some people just might be better off sticking to vitamins from a bottle.

Lauryn Hill Defends Tardiness at Live Shows ... Impassioned Speech in L.A.
Lauryn Hill has a tendency to run a little behind at her live shows -- on the rare occasion that she performs, that is -- but she says that should be the least of her fans' concerns.
The enigmatic singer/rapper is currently on tour to celebrate the 25th anniversary of her iconic album,' The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill,' and she stopped off in L.A. Saturday night ... where she seems to have been a little tardy for her set, something she addressed head-on.
Check it out ... in the video, LH says she's aware of people who complain about her being late to gigs -- but fires back, saying fans should count themselves lucky she even shows up.
This isn't so much Lauryn lashing out as it is her getting what sounds like a major grievance off her chest -- namely, the fact that she only released one solo album ... and based on what she's saying here, it appears that might've not been her decision back in the day.
Instead of bowing out of the music scene -- which she kinda did for a long time -- Lauryn says she's embraced her one piece of great art (solo-wise, of course) and continued to perform it over and over again ... noting that the people love her album to this day.
The crowd was definitely with her on this one ... and she's got her Fugees crew backing her up on tour as well. In other words, appreciate what you can get outta her ... PERIOD!

Trae Tha Truth is getting back to his philanthropic power moves ... fully furnishing a Houston woman's home -- the first of many such upgrades -- and planning to uplift inmates' spirits later this month.
Trae tells TMZ Hip Hop ... he treats each month like a holiday when it comes to charitable donations, but he's already shifting into overdrive for this holiday season.
He recently visited men and women locked up at the Harris County Jail and is planning to return and deliver them Thanksgiving-style food in the upcoming weeks!!!
As for citizens on the outside, Trae says he'll be passing out food, and has partnered with Bel Furniture once again to boost the quality of life for less fortunate families.
Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.
Trae tells us he's keenly aware too many people live in this country without a proper support system, which is why he's stepping in to fill that gap.
He feels it's his God-appointed mission to use his strength to help those in need ... even if it means personal sacrifices, like making music.
Trae nearly broke a 3-year drought of releasing albums while focusing on everyone else, but he says he was able to lock in to create his most recent LP, "Stuck In Motion," which dropped a couple weeks ago.
He admits it's not easy being both selfless and selfish, which making an album often requires of an artist ... but says he's thankful to be a rapper again, especially now that his assault charges following his street scuffle with former collaborator Z-Ro have been dropped!!!
TMZ Hip Hop broke the story ... Trae allegedly assaulted Z-Ro during 50 Cent's H-Town weekend last year, but completed a diversion program to wipe the slate clean -- and he says he's planning to keep it that way.
Can't help the people if you're locked up!!!

Offset isn't wasting time, or the momentum he built from his recently released "Set It Off" album ... he tells TMZ Hip Hop he's bringing some heat to February by dropping another one!!!
We linked up with Offset in Bev. Hills outside Mulberry Street Pizzeria, and he hopped out the van to shoot the latest updates with us, including some family collabs.
His eldest son Jordan has been working diligently behind the scenes to earn his place in the production world, and if we're connecting the right dots ... that could score him a credit on his dad's next album!!!
Offset said they were planning to drop something Friday, but apparently, they needed to tweak a few things. 🤷🏾♂️
Meanwhile, his "Set It Off" nabbed a Top 5 spot on the Billboard 200 when it launched back in October with a star-studded party ... cohosted by his loving wife Cardi B!!!
February's only a few months away ... gotta strike while the iron's hot even if it's in the dead of winter!

Kate Bush Skipping R&R HOF Ceremony ... Thx for the 💗, But Yeah No
Kate Bush is being ushered into rock and roll history alongside some great artists who'll share the honor ... but they won't share the stage with her, 'cause she's bowing out.
The British singer-songwriter -- who was huge in the '80s, and who recently gained popularity again through "Stranger Things" -- is one of many who are set to be inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Friday night in Brooklyn ... but she seems to be the only one who won't be there in person.
Kate posted a lengthy statement addressing her being included in this year's class, saying she's completely grateful and humbled ... noting her hit song, "Running Up That Hill," put her back in the spotlight again thanks to Netflix.
She writes, "Last year was such a surprisingly successful time for my track ['RUTH'] and I’m sure that a lot of you who’ve voted me in to the RRHOF also drove that track up the charts. Thank you!" Then, she hits everyone with somewhat unsurprising news.
KB adds, "I’m afraid I won’t be able to attend the ceremony tonight, but for me the real honour is knowing that you felt I deserved it." Kate doesn't address why she's bailing -- but she does extend a lot of compliments to the other artists who'll be enshrined ... specifically pointing out Bernie Taupin, Elton John's writing partner, as one who's quite deserving.
The other inductees, aside from the above-mentioned ones, include ... Sheryl Crow, Missy Elliott, George Michael, Willie Nelson, Rage Against the Machine and The Spinners. As far as we can tell, they're all expected to show face ... but unfortunately, Kate's seat will be empty.
Of course, Kate does have a bit of a rep for being elusive/reclusive -- so the fact she's opting out here might not be a total shocker for longtime fans of hers. It's funny ... not even a fan fave like 'ST' could bring her out of her shell. Just goes to show -- Kate stays true!
If 2023's show is anything like last year's ... it'll be a big fat jam fest. Congrats, all!

Megan Thee Stallion Jada Kingdom Denies Homewrecking ... Pardi Deploys Future Meme

Breaking News
- 1.1K shares
Megan Thee Stallion's new "Cobra" track's already slithering under the skin of her ex-bf Pardison Fontaine and his new GF ... and both seem shocked Meg and her fans are going after them!
As we previously reported, Meg seemed to inject some venom Friday with her new song ... suggesting she caught Pardi with his pants down. On "Cobra" she raps, "Pulled up, caught him cheating/Getting his d*** sucked in the same spot I'm sleeping."
That sparked a bunch of backlash against Pardi's new woman, Jada Kingdom ... who fired off a direct response to social media haters for lumping her into Megan and her ex's mess.
The Jamaican dancehall artist says she has the means to get it at her home, at a hotel, motel and would never stoop to the kinda low-level cheating Meg references in "Cobra."
Pardi wild as hell for posting that Future video meme in his story and Tristan Thompson photo 😭 pic.twitter.com/8sfek891XE
— No Ribs, No Rice, No Champagne!!! (@JTriplett0825) November 3, 2023 @JTriplett0825
While Jada was direct, her man Pardi opted for a more subliminal response -- he reposted a meme of Future expressing how it's "a cold world," followed by a snapshot of Tristan Thompson bursting out in laughter.
Make what ya will of that, but the question remains -- if it wasn't Jada who Megan walked in on, then who was it???
Bre Tiesi Yeah, I Banged Michael B. Jordan ... Been There, 'Done That'
Bre Tiesi is doing a little post-pillow talk about Michael B. Jordan -- 'cause she says she slept with the guy ... and it sounds like she checked him off her list a while ago!
The model -- who was famously married to Johnny Manziel once upon a time -- is now on Netflix's "Selling Sunset" ... and during their Season 7 premiere this week, she and the other girls were fantasizing about which famous hunk they'd love to get in the sack.
Chrishell Stause kicked off the hypothetical, asking the ladies who they'd like a go at -- to which Amanza Smith immediately answered with MBJ ... kinda a no-brainer, right?
Welp, apparently so for Bre ... who shot back right away, saying -- "I could do that -- and I've done that." Quite proudly, we might add ... and with a mouthful of chow, very casual-like.
In other words ... Bre already went around the block with Mike, or so she claims. With that said, she didn't get into details about when/where/how, etc. It's an odd pairing, no doubt -- prior to this confession, there was really no obvious connection between BT and Michael.
Of course, there was nothing on the surface between her and Nick Cannon either ... and yet, she ended up having one of his kids kinda out of the blue a year ago.
What's interesting here about this alleged hookup story is that Michael's recent ex, Lori Harvey, was also just in the middle of an old hanky-panky tale -- namely, 'Love & Hip Hop' star Prince Michael ... who claimed to have banged LH way back in the day.
They might be broken up, but they still share some things in common ... loose-lipped exes!

Playboi Carti Recorded New Album In Paris Cave for Months On End!!!
Playboi Carti blocked out all distractions recording his new album -- and likely much of the world -- 'cause he was belting out rhymes inside a freakin' cave!!!
The reclusive rap star told German pub Numéro Berlin he dedicated 3 months of his life recording his latest album inside a hole in Mother Earth -- this while out in Paris, and he says the end results are "chaotic and crazy" ... pretty much his musical MO.
Carti says the key is to stay outta his head ... and his phone in order to make music that meets his standards.
Fans have been drooling for new Carti music since he topped the charts on Christmas Day 2020 with his cult classic album "Whole Lotta Red" and they'll be happy to know he didn't solely rely on cave-dwelling for quality control.
The "Magnolia" rapper explained he tested the album's sonics inside a glass house in the hills, as well as his Atlanta habitat and suggested it met his approval ... although he didn't give a timeline on when he was dropping.

Carti recently pushed his Antagonist Tour back to 2024 so there's a good indicator the album release date will align but fans still have his back -- just ask Jaden Smith, who dressed up like him for Halloween.
As for the cave thing ... it'll be interesting to see how it sounds. The project is supposed to hit shelves sometime in 2024.

J. Cole Kendrick & I Were GONNA Do An Album ... What Had Happened Was
J. Cole and Kendrick Lamar could have predated super collab albums such as Drake and Future's 'WATTBA' and maybe even Jay-Z and Kanye West's "Watch the Throne" -- that is, if the stars, moons and schedules aligned for them.
Cole looked back at a would-be K. Dot pairing that never materialized during his lengthy new podcast with Lil Yachty. -- and he talked about why the rumored project never came to be.
J. Cole puts an end to the Kendrick Lamar collab album convos & confirms it’s not happening.
— Vaultedmag (@vaultedmag) November 2, 2023 @vaultedmag
“At one point it was a real thing... but time and life, we ain't never got a chance to like really go in.” pic.twitter.com/qwKN14YaxT
Take a listen for yourself on his breakdown here -- JC says the two formed a friendship in 2010 just as both of their future careers as hip hop legends were beginning to take off ... and right off the bat, it sounds like there was chemistry between them in style and musical taste.
Neither MC had released an album just yet and Cole says he supplied Kendrick with several beats he made, with Dot even using one of them for his 2011 album "Section.80" on album anchor "HiiiPower."
The two teased fans even further by freestyling on one another's beats for Black Friday 2015 ... but it's been radio silence ever since.
Cole says he and Kendrick would need a full year to make the project of their and fans' dreams and points out neither had the time to commit amid their growing careers -- and family lives.
From the sounds of it, Cole and Kendrick put the idea to bed ... although, if they were able to find a convenient schedule for both of them -- perhaps the possibility to pick it back up again could resurface. J. Cole certainly doesn't seem opposed to the idea of a collab.
In the meantime, enjoy what they're putting out respectively ... and keeping holding out hope!

Megan Thee Stallion has a lot of baggage to unpack from this year -- and the load appears to be aimed at her ex-boyfriend/collaborator Pardison Fontaine!!!
On "Cobra," her first solo track of 2023, Meg delivers on her promise to bring "raw topics" to the forefront ... addressing her haters while also speaking on depression and even ideas of suicide.
Many fans were also left with the impression Meg takes a huge bite into Pardi when she raps ... "Man, I miss my parents, way too anxious, always cancel my plans/Pulled up, caught him cheating/Getting his d*** sucked in the same spot I'm sleeping!!!"
Pardi is a cheater? Omg Hotties,we ride at dawn 🔫🔫🔫
— Gojas 🫣 (@MagaselaSocolo) November 3, 2023 @MagaselaSocolo
Pardi has yet to respond to Meg’s cheating accusations … but he did turn off his IG comments -- yeah, Meg’s Hotties were big mad!!!
The two rappers emerged as a couple in 2021 and were lovebirds for 2 years, but things looked shaky when Pardi took on poetry for the first time ... with a cryptic message that pointed to the split.
The end of their relationship was confirmed when Megan was spotted at a wedding with soccer star Romelu Lukaku in May ... and entered her new era, stepping out in a fully see-through bodysuit, shortly after Tory Lanez was found guilty of shooting her.
Pardi’s moved on himself -- he sent flowers to dancehall singer Jada Kingdom shortly after Meg's song dropped, something she proudly posted on social media.
Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.
Pardi and Jada have been linked since September ... and some fans think she's the woman he was with when Meg allegedly caught him.
Breakups happen, but rap's biggest critic Joe Budden thinks Meg and Pardi should work out their differences ... for the sake of her music's quality.
In other words, JB thinks Meg needs Pardi's pen, but now folks can decide for themselves if they like her new solo stuff.

Big Boi Hootie Who Fumbled the Owl?!? Postgame Performance Ruffles Feathers

Big Boi's performance at a college football game went south real quick when he decided to share the stage with an owl that wasn't exactly feeling the vibe ... and tried to fly the coop, real quick!
Here's the deal, BB hit the stage in Georgia after Kennesaw State University's game with one of his pet owls, Kennesaw State's mascot is an owl, on his arm -- obviously thinking it would be the perfect crowd-pleaser. Ahhh, the best-laid plans of owls and men!
It did NOT go as planned, as you can see in the video... the owl got spooked right away during Big Boi's Saturday night performance and tried to fly away, but he was leashed to rapper's gloved right hand.
Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.
Sleepy Brown did his best to distract the crowd while Big Boi called in some help -- hopefully from a professional handler -- and the show went on, but it made for an awkward walk-out nonetheless.
He also shared a clip of him and the owl before the game and, at least backstage, it seemed chill.

Rae Sremmurd's Slim Jxmmi is back on PlayStation after cutting himself off for his New Year's Resolution, but it's a win in his book ... because he's no longer addicted to the controller!!!
TMZ Hip Hop caught up with the "Black Beatles" rapper Wednesday at LAX, and he admits he fell short of the year-long sabbatical he intended for his PS.
As we reported at the top of the year, Jxmmi complained his video game activity was cutting into his time for making music.
Jxmmi tells us he used the video game vacation to record an EP -- in addition to his other 2024 vocal obligations, and only hopped back on the sticks around August-September, roughly 9 months away from the game.
He says he tapped back into "NBA 2K" and "Call Of Duty," but is no longer glued to the TV like he once was and now breaks up his playing by simply going outside and touching grass.
Video game addiction isn't the only thing in Jxmmi's rearview mirror -- he's done with New Year's resolutions too.
He's all for personal upgrades, no matter what date's on the calendar!!!
