TMZ Hip Hop - Page 50

Bianca Censori's been showing a lot of skin lately, and that didn't change whatsoever for her birthday weekend ... where she was in Sin City with Kanye West showing off the goods.

Ye brought wifey to Las Vegas Friday, and between yesterday and today -- they've been hitting the town ... in very little clothing, from BC's side anyway. Exhibit A is this video of her walking around the Wynn Las Vegas casino-resort Saturday ... hand-in-hand with hubby.

Check out the clip -- obtained by TMZ -- where you can see KW and Bianca casually strolling along as a crowd of people look on around them. There sure was an eyeful to take in.

As you can see ... Bianca is wearing an incredibly skimpy bikini top, with her breasts pouring out. She's got no shame to her game -- and even giggles a little. She appeared to be wearing something similar on Friday as well ... another video's going around that shows her, Ye and their entourage singing Happy Birthday, and she's busting out of her top there too.

This new boobs-out look matches what Bianca has been rocking lately -- particularly on Ye's IG feed, where he seems enthralled by her figure ... and for good reason, she's banging.

As we reported ... Ye shouted out his wife on Saturday with several different posts, calling her the love of his life, a great muse and an awesome stepmom to his and Kim K's children.

As for Saturday's bare-it-all outing ... we're told they were hitting up different high-end luxury shops -- like Balenciaga and Chrome Hearts, for example -- so it sounds like Ye was splurging on the missus as she rings in the big 2-9.

Kanye West is sending big-time birthday wishes to his wife, Bianca Censori ... whom he's clearly head over heels in love with -- and who makes for a great muse for hubby.

The rapper is celebrating BC's 29th born-day Saturday ... and he's doing it by throwing up a ton of tributes to her on his social media pages -- complete with some hot shots, as well as some behind-the-scenes pics of their fairly secretive life together.

Ye posted a ton of shots of Bianca, but the one with the lengthiest caption featured a photo of her face ... with KW adding, "Happy birthday to the most beautiful super bad iconic muse inspirational talented artist masters degree in architecture."

He adds, "140 IQ loving by my side everyday when half the world turned their backs on me and the most amazing step mom to our children I love you so much thank you for sharing your life with me."

Ye threw up tons of other shots of Bianca as well, including standout moments from their eventful year all over the world. Of course, with some of these photos -- BC's assets were on full display ... just as they were the other day when he posted nearly-naked pics of her.

Obviously, the guy loves everything about her ... including her voluptuous, curvy figure.

It might seem like they've been a couple for a lifetime now, but it's actually been just a year or so. Kanye was first linked to Bianca way back in January 2023 ... and now, here we are.

He kinda plucked her out of obscurity ... although, granted, she was a Yeezy employee, somehow falling onto his radar. Now, the man is hardly ever seen without her these days. He also can't seem to keep his hands off her, in public or otherwise.

Ice Cube has entered the Katt Williams chat days after the comedian shook up showbiz with his "Club Shay Shay" interview ... and, he's looking to clarify the allegation he tried to make light of a rape scene.

Katt accused Rickey Smiley of lying about being the OG pick for his "Money Mike" role in "Friday After Next" -- and also claimed he saved the character from a bathroom rape scene involving Terry Crews' ex-con character, "Damon."

Cube agreed that Rickey lost the part after Katt embodied the pimp schtick to make "Money Mike" an unforgettable character, but denies he ever wrote a rape scene for the film -- he says that's just not his style.

Cube says the main goal of the scene was to cancel out Katt and Terry's characters, as the film had 3 main villains, including the "Santa Claus" role Rickey ended up filling.

The hip hop legend also took some time out to address the ingrates who've groused over the years about their salaries in the 'Friday' franchise.

Cube explained actors aren't the only ones who need to get paid for movies -- producers, stagehands, even the coffee runners have to get paid every day, while most of the actors he employed were done with their scenes after a couple of days.

Joey Badass fans collectively mourned the death of his character, "Unique" from 50 Cent's 'Power' spin-off 'Raising Kanan' this week, but he's telling TMZ Hip Hop he's partially to blame for being cut!!!

We linked up with Joey and his GF Serayah in NYC Thursday, still very much in sync after social media blogs recently fueled breakup rumors, and Joey did admit he's a little bummed about being written off the show.

It's not like Joey actually wanted to end his run on the highly touted series -- his 2024 plans involve a new album and tour combo, which conflicted with his time on set, so his character got axed ... figuratively and literally!!!

No worries, Joey says he plans on bringing plenty of Aquarius energy to celebrate his bdday month and flood fans with new music.

Katt Williams can count on at least one comedic ally after his royal roast of Kevin Hart, Steve Harvey and Cedric the Entertainer -- "Wild 'N Out" vet Bobb'e J. Thompson cosigns everything Katt's saying!!!

We linked with Bobb'e in Hollywood to discuss Katt's super-viral sit-down on Shannon Sharpe's podcast as the numbers for the nearly 3-hour chitchat breached 15 million views in just a couple of days.

Many comedians and even rappers such as Ludacris and Trick Daddy, took Katt's unfiltered thoughts as fightin' words.

TD suggested he's ready to get physical, as he reminded Katt he's from the streets.

But, Bobb'e tells us there's never any reason to rumble over a joke ... unless you can fight, and he says Katt has no issues in the fisticuffs department. He also doesn't feel like Katt spoke out a turn, especially in the pursuit of being credited for his work.

Katt accused guys like Steve and Ced of stealing his material over the years, and even had damning allegations for Michael Blackson ... claiming the Nigerian accent is faker than everything sold on Canal Street.

Bobb'e worked with both Katt and Michael on "Wild 'N Out" and can't confirm or deny Mike's 24/7 speaking patterns ... but does say tensions will arise if a joke gets stolen on the 'WNO' set.

Big Daddy Kane has 0 objections to the proposal to turn Jay-Z's birthday into a holiday in NYC ... saying Hov's successes are worth celebrating.

BDK caught up with TMZ Hip Hop on Thursday and connected the ascension of hip hop over the past 50 years to Jay's billionaire status ... a signal he says makes Jay more than deserving of the honor.

New York City Councilmembers have been pining for legislation to officially make December 4 "Jay-Z Day" for his years of contributions to society.

Hip hop historians note it was BDK who first mentored Jay as he was beginning his career ... even introduced him to the world on "Rap City" back in 1990 -- 6 years before Jay dropped his debut album.

B.G.'s homecoming from prison hasn't ignited the Cash Money Hot Boys reunion, and his new diss in Lil Wayne's direction probably means it's definitely not happening!!!

On Finesse2Tymes' new track "Gangstafied," B.G. unloaded on Wayne ... "My n**** Weezy steady torn/Touring ... but he's a bitch and it's showing!!!" 😱

No clue why B.G. set out to embarrass Wayne on the track, but they haven't been spotted together like fans had hoped they would after B.G.'s release.

B.G. got out of prison last September after serving 11 years for gun possession and was immediately greeted by Birdman, sparking talk of a Cash Money reunion.

Ludacris and his wife Eudoxie also fell victim to the wrath of Katt Williams' viral "Club Shay Shay" interview, but in a fiery freestyle response ... Luda's telling Katt to get back because he doesn't know him like that!!!

The "Fast & Furious" star doesn't do much rapping these days, but returned to the studio Thursday night to bust out a freestyle over Kanye West's classic "Devil in a New Dress" instrumental -- clearly aimed at Katt's noggin.

During his 3-hour sit-down with Shannon Sharpe, Katt swore Luda had joined the Illuminati after selling his soul to the "Fast & Furious" franchise in exchange for $200 million.

Katt also hinted Luda was stripped of his Blackness and sent an insane shot at Luda's spouse for being a "light-skinned ugly-face wife" -- a wild insult, especially considering Luda collaborated with Katt on his 2004 hit single "Pimpin' All Over the World."

Luda kicked off his anti-Katt flow shouting out Snoop Dogg and then slyly responding to Katt's disses and clarifying his sexuality ... "They throwing shade ‘cause n****s could never take my shine ... Never been Illuminati, only Ill-Luda-nati/And I only left with bitches when coming from any party."

The freestyle ended with an RIP to "2 Fast Too Furious" director John Singleton and a final warning to Katt ... "Afro with the sideburns, yeah that’s my signature/Addiction’s on the rise, comedians check your temperature.”

Ludacris isn't the only rapper Katt Williams pissed off with his "Club Shay Shay" remarks -- Trick Daddy also wants a piece of the comedian, and it doesn't sound like a diss track will quell his anger.

The Miami rap legend says Katt dissed him in a comedy bit about his restaurant career ... and hopped on Instagram to defend his friend Rickey Smiley, who Katt ripped for allegedly throwing a temper tantrum on the "Friday After Next" set because he lost a role to Katt.

Trick says KW's not qualified to speak on legends and sent a clear threat ... he's TDD, Dade County's Finest and will gladly take it to the streets and beat Katt senseless.

On cue, Trick rubbed Katt's nose over the comedian's bizarre viral fight with a kid from years ago -- and labeled Katt a clout chaser for his alleged exposé of Black comedian culture that lit up Steve Harvey, Kevin Hart, Faizon Love and more all at once.

Trick tells Katt all those guys have more money than both of them and Black men need to stop tearing one another down to get clicks and views.

Jeannie Mai is in her element ... ringing in her 45th birthday with a set of thirst traps in a gold bikini, and ya gotta imagine her estranged hubby Jeezy will take notice.

The TV host brought some much-needed heat to a snowy setting Thursday ... seductively posing outside a lakeside cabin in a metallic two-piece along with a pair of snow boots and a fur jacket.

Her caption's pretty simple ... "Cuz she can" -- an obvious declaration she's reclaiming her power after a challenging year, which saw Jeezy make the move to end their marriage.

He filed for divorce from Jeannie in September 2023 ... saying their marriage was "irretrievably broken."

Things between the estranged couple remain bitter -- with a filing obtained by TMZ in December revealing Jeannie submitted a response to Jeezy's request for a hearing to figure out a temporary custody schedule for their 1-year-old daughter Monaco.

She said his accusation she's interfering with his ability to spend time with their daughter is false -- adding in the docs she wants Jeezy to be involved in their daughter's life -- but the youngster's safety is her #1 concern.

Polo G is feeling optimistic about 2024, especially if this leap year can boost the 2 things he cares about most -- making money and finally getting his delayed album off the ground!!!

We recently caught up with Polo in Bev Hills while he was doing some shopping with his sister Leia, and he made a vow to pad his discography by dropping more music.

Fans were eager for Polo G to drop last September, and he had told us he was just as excited, but legal issues put his "Hood Poet" album release on ice ... the kind that's slow to melt.

TMZ Hip Hop broke the story ... Polo and his brother Trench Baby were arrested in August 2023 following a police raid where Polo was charged with gun possession, and his bro is being accused of a drive-by murder.

Polo tells us he's still sticking with the "Hood Poet" title -- the single "Barely Holdin' On" was used as a charitable vessel for the music video's actors.

Hip hop radio legend Big Boy is revisiting a time being overweight came in real handy -- he says all that extra cushion helped him duck gun charges that might've ended his career before it got started!!!

BB made the eye-popping revelation on "All the Smoke" after Matt Barnes and Stephen Jackson asked him about the urban legend that he hid a gun from the police in his body fat.

BB once weighed over 500 lbs -- back before Will Smith convinced him to get surgery -- and he confirmed the legend as fact, but explained there was a perfectly good reason for his actions.

Before earning his stripes on radio, BB bodyguarded for The Pharcyde. and recalled the day of June 17, 1994 -- the same day O.J. Simpson famously led LAPD on the low-speed chase.

The iconic moment caused BB to be separated from the group as they stayed in the Bay Area and he flew back to L.A. -- but left them his gun to drive back to the city.

After BB retrieved his gun the next day, he got pulled over while he also had another gun on him ... so, really bad timing.

Luckily, the officer failed to pat him down properly, and he was able to skate any charges. God knows a strip search at county jail would've gotten interesting!!!

As fate would have it, he got a call from Power 106 the very next day, starting his on-air gig ... and eventually got a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame presented to him by Dr. Dre!!!

Katt Williams predicted his "Club Shay Shay" interview would have the internet in shambles ... and now some of the guys he attacked are fighting back.

Kevin Hart called Katt's comments "sad" Thursday but didn't squander the opportunity to plug his new action movie "Lift" with all the unsolicited buzz from the interview.

Katt essentially labeled Kevin the "Jussie Smollett of comedy" -- a charlatan who was planted in the movie industry after arriving in Los Angeles from Philly without any real buzz, and claims to have turned down plenty of lowbrow roles that Kevin happily scooped up.

Kevin and Katt have been at odds for years -- Kevin claimed Katt flamed out on drugs during a 2015 Breakfast Club interview, to which Katt recently told Shannon Sharpe he's never done a hard drug in his life.

Not to be outdone, Michael Blackson didn't let Katt slide for accusing him of using a fake African accent throughout his career ... but still gave him his props at the end of the day.

According to Mike, Katt ranks as the #4th best comedian alive (he ranked himself at #10) but thinks his 2005 glory years are long behind him, Mike claims he saw Katt get heckled in his Cincinnati hometown before ... a terrible look for a legend.

Cedric The Entertainer also got pissed over Katt's continued allegations he was a joke thief but hinted that he wouldn't be participating in the back-and-forth mud-slinging.

Rickey Smiley is doubling down on being the first choice for Katt Williams' "Money Mike" role in Ice Cube's "Friday After Next" -- after Katt called him a liar -- and says they just changed the role!!!

On Thursday, Rickey cleared the air on his morning show and tackled KW's explosive interview from Shannon Sharpe's "Club Shay Shay" head-on.

Katt snapped on several prominent Black comedians -- Steve Harvey, Cedric The Entertainer and Kevin Hart all got snubbed -- but Katt especially ripped apart Rickey's acting abilities.

Katt claimed he drafted a contract that enforced Rickey to wear a dress the next time they appeared in a film together ... which was 2008's "First Sunday" where Rickey appeared as his female alter-ego "Bernice Jenkins."

Rickey denied there was any such contract, and says director David E. Talbert personally asked him to portray the role in the film, which was produced by Cube as well.

Rickey noted how Flip Wilson, Richard Pryor, Martin Lawrence, Jamie Foxx all played female characters in the past and it didn't disrupt their legacies ... despite Katt hinting it was a down payment to an Illuminati membership!!!

Katt also accused Rickey of lying about getting stripped of the "Money Mike" role, but Rickey doubled down ... insisting his version of the character wasn't a pimp but more like a street cat from around the way.

After Katt auditioned, Cube and the producers gave him the part and allowed him to add his own flair to the role -- a move Rickey says he agreed with, as it became KW's breakout role in Hollywood.

NLE Choppa isn't a fan of Blueface's new "Barbie" remix, considering the fact it's a play for his ex-girlfriend -- so, he's ready to take things to the ring!!!

ICYMI, Blueface used the 'ol beef-n-bait tactic to push Jaidyn Alexis' debut song into higher Billboard contention by name-checking Offset, Cardi B, Soulja Boy as well as Marissa Da'Nae, the mother of NLE's most recent child.

On Thursday, NLE took to X and challenged BF to a duel mano a mano ... "Let’s box who can set up @bluefacebleedem 👿 who can set up a celebrity boxing match in Vegas me and him hit me ASAP. He undefeated vs women ion respect a nigga that put his hands on em anyway !"

NLE was referencing Blueface and Chrisean’s explosive fight where she claimed he ambushed her with punches.

But if NLE was looking to intimidate Blue, his plan backfired … Blueface happily accepted his challenge with the utmost confidence.

He repsonded on X ... “I’m not worried about a Muslim vegan cryp on sY bet that small fry  squabble up or shut up," and added that he gave NLE his first big break with their 2020 collab “Shotta Flow (Remix).”

Fans immediately favored BF in the potential slugfest … he has a few pro-fight wins under his belt, after all, and even survived a stabbing while training.

Rick Ross just so happens to be neighbors with Tyreek Hill -- and was home as the Miami Dolphins' star's mansion went up in flames earlier this afternoon -- documenting the inferno in real-time.

The MMG rapper immediately jetted out to his front lawn Wednesday when he spotted the smoke, met by fire truck sirens and helicopters swirling the Southwest Ranches community.

The Boss captured the fire trucks working overtime in attempts to douse the flames.

Rozay gave his take on the source of the blaze, saying he believed it was caused by an electrical disturbance.
