50 Cent is going to war with the mother of his son after she publicly accused him of raping her -- which he says is a totally false claim Daphne Joy is only making in retaliation for him seeking full custody.

Daphne, the mother of 12-year-old Sire, and 50's latest drama is tied directly to one of the lawsuits filed against Diddy. As we reported, Rodney Jones' latest amendment to that suit, claimed Daphne was a "sex worker" for the Bad Boy mogul ... an allegation that immediately caught 50 Cent's attention.

After 50 reacted on Instagram by posting, "I didn't know you was a sex worker, 👀 you little sex worker. LOL 😆" -- Daphne lit him up with a post of her own, saying ... "Let's put the real focus on your true evil actions of raping me and physically abusing me."

Teyana Taylor is convinced Iman Shumpert's relationship with a woman is negatively impacting their children -- so much so, she wants an expert to get involved in their divorce ... TMZ has learned.

In new court documents, obtained by TMZ, Teyana's attorney asks the court to let her call on a child psychologist to testify about something she says went down a couple weeks ago, when their daughters were staying with their father.

According to the docs, the ex-NBA star had a female friend and her daughter staying at his home during his parenting weekend with the daughters. Teyana's attorney says they know this because Teyana saw the woman's daughter and heard the woman during a FaceTime check-in with their daughters.

Montell Jordan just helped his homie Young MC tie the knot ... and now Montell and his wife are making it their mission to see even more couples hitched under their watch!!!

MJ tells TMZ Hip Hop ... he and the "Bust a Move" rapper's friendship dates back 30 years, and even though Young MC is now 56, he says it's never too late to say "I Do."

We broke the story ... MJ hit Arizona last weekend to officiate Young MC's wedding to his fiancée Chantal -- an event attended by several other '90s artists such as Tone Loc and Rob Base.

Starting in April, Montell and his wife Kristin will begin throwing "This Is How We Date Night" parties in Atlanta, where they're inviting couples and singles to get mixy and mingle in hopes they can network, and find a lasting relationship.

Montell and Kristin are approaching their 30-year anniversary, and they believe everyone can achieve marital bliss ... with the right amount of counseling that is!!!

Their event name is a clear play on MJ's "This Is How We Do It" jam, a staple at parties since being released in 1995. Side note here, but we're shocked the track hasn't been certified Diamond yet ... like so many other recognizable records.

The raids on Diddy's homes are just the start -- the feds are issuing subpoenas to companies doing biz with him, aiming to identify anyone with info pertinent to the sex trafficking probe ... TMZ has learned.

Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ subpoenas -- all bearing Diddy's real name, Sean Combs -- were sent this week to various providers tied to the rapper, including his private charter jet, phone providers and computer companies.

We're told the subpoenas were fired off by the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York ... which, as we've reported, is running the investigation.

Suge Knight isn't above kicking a man when he's down, especially when the man is Diddy ... because he has an ominous reaction to the federal raids on the Bad Boy mogul's homes.

TMZ Hip Hop obtained this new commentary from Suge -- we're told it's an outtake from his "Collect Call" podcast with Dave Mays -- and the Death Row founder is clearly convinced his longtime rival is destined for a prison ... just like him.

Suge says his thoughts and prayers are with Diddy’s kids ... particularly Justin and King Combs, who were detained in handcuffs -- but not arrested -- in L.A. while feds conducted the raid.

Yung Miami is being accused of being a mini drug mule for Diddy thanks to recent changes producer Rodney "Lil Rod" Jones made in his wild lawsuit ... a major load of manure according to sources close to the City Girls rapper because the dates don't add up.

Here's the new scenario ... Lil Rod is now claiming that Miami assisted Diddy secure a cocaine and ecstasy blend known as "tuci" -- per an amendment his lawyer made to the suit on Monday.

But, sources familiar with the sitch say Miami's team is outraged at Rod's filing ... and what sources are telling TMZ Hip Hop is she was actually getting fitted for her glitzy Met Gala dress with her style team during the time Rod claims she was acting bad.

As Diddy copes with his ongoing legal drama, Al B. Sure! is seizing the opportunity to attempt reconciliation with his biological son, and Diddy's stepson, Quincy Brown.

In the wake of Diddy’s associate being nabbed for drugs, and 2 federal raids going down at Diddy's homes -- Al reached out to Quincy with an IG post, saying, "Come Home … The 🚪 is wide open. You’re safe here son!”

Al also told Quincy he loved him, but appeared to fire a subliminal at Diddy with his sign-off ... "I Love you, Popz, Your Biological."

The key to the federal investigation into allegations Diddy engaged in sex trafficking -- figuring out who was on Diddy's charter jets that went from state to state and around the world.

Federal law enforcement sources tell TMZ ... all of the jet charter companies Diddy used will receive subpoenas. We're told the feds want to look at all the flight manifests to see who was on Diddy's charter jets and where the planes went.

The manifest is critical ... it will enable federal agents to contact the passengers and interview them. They will be particularly interested if some of the people who filed lawsuits against Diddy were on these planes.

There should have been video of an army of federal agents barging into Diddy's L.A. mansion, but none exists, because the first thing the feds did was beeline it for the security system, disable it and seize the hard drive ... TMZ has learned.

Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ ... Diddy and his team were shocked at the show of force when the agents entered his Holmby Hills mansion, and they wanted to review what happened by looking at footage from his security system.

We're told the feds knew the layout of the property before entering, because the first thing they did was disable the entire system so their entry would not be recorded, and then they took the hard drive, so no security footage of the raid exists.

Beyoncé was living the high life ... hopping on board her $40 million private jet to indulge in some serious spaghetti ahead of her album release -- which actually features a track dedicated to the Italian culinary favorite.

Judging by her IG pics Thursday ... it looks like Queen Bey wasn't wasting any time celebrating the early success of her country-themed album "Cowboy Carter" -- set for release Friday -- as she dined in style in the air.

In another pic, Beyoncé's fully embracing the cowgirl vibe ... rocking a black jumper dress, knee-high Jimmy Choo boots, and topping it off with a stylish black fedora hat.

Diddy wanted a word with Kanye West at an L.A. concert this month, but Ye ended up ducking the convo -- which is interesting, considering what's gone down in the Bad Boy mogul's world since then.

Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ ... Diddy was hanging out backstage at Rolling Loud in Los Angeles a couple weeks ago ... he and his entourage had rolled up to watch Ye's performance, and he told people close to Ye he wanted a face-to-face to say what's up, personally.

However, we're told Kanye had no interest in the proposed meeting when it was brought to his attention -- or at the very least, we're told he wasn't champing at the bit to meet up.

Diddy's Los Angeles estate is attracting tons of visitors this week -- besides the feds who raided the place, and really because of them, tourists are desperate to get just a peek at the mansion.

We spoke with several tour bus companies that have been cruising by Diddy's pad a lot in the wake of Monday's shocking raids, and they say customer interest was definitely piqued by the headlines.

A couple tour companies say their buses are packed to the gills this week ... which they admit is due to this being spring break as much as it is Diddy's legal woes.

Bhad Bhabie turned 21 ... and she wants the world to know she's living her best life by racking up a dinner bill in the thousands.

The rapper -- real name Danielle Bregoli -- didn't hold back on Snapchat, sharing her birthday extravaganza at Nobu Malibu on Tuesday night and making sure to flex the bill for all to see, totaling a whopping $6,477.

Breaking it down, Bhabie and her crew dropped $3,386 on food, including oysters, lobster, and all the seafood staples Nobu has to offer.

Ice Cube clearly thinks Caitlin Clark can succeed in the Big3 ... but one man who's convinced she can't is ex-NBA star Kenyon Martin, who said Wednesday she wouldn't be able to score a single point in the 3-on-3 league.

The Iowa Hawkeyes star received a $5 million offer to join Cube's hoops org. on Wednesday ... but when Martin was asked how he thinks she'd fare if she accepted the deal -- he made it clear, he thinks it'd be a mess.

"It's a step under prison ball," the former NBA player said of the Big3's action on Gilbert Arenas' "Gil's Arena Show." "Could you imagine her getting stuck down on Reggie Evans?"

Diddy's associate got hauled away from the Miami airport he and the rap mogul got stopped at this week in handcuffs while being arrested ... which can now be seen on video.

WSVN 7News obtained body cam footage that shows 25-year-old Brendan Paul being led away by police officers Monday from the Opa Locka Executive Airport and placed into a cruiser, where a cop buckled him into the backseat.

As you can see, Paul was compliant and silent as they took him to jail ... not saying much, and not being asked much either. Before they throw him in the car, they pat him down.

Shaquille O'Neal might think Ice Spice is "so dam fine," but he swears he wasn't trying to rizz up the rapper with his Instagram caption after the Super Bowl .... claiming he was just trying to be nice!!

The 52-year-old Hall of Famer explained what happened on his "Big Podcast With Shaq" this week ... saying he ran into IS when he hopped over to Taylor Swift's Allegiant Stadium suite during halftime of the big game.

Shaq shared a pic of his meet-up with Swift, Spice and others ... and he raised a ton of eyebrows when his caption praised the "Think U The S*** (Fart)" MC's beauty.
