Lauren London hasn't forgotten Nipsey Hussle -- evident in a touching tribute she shared of her former partner on the the 5th anniversary of his untimely death.

The actress -- who shares her son Kross with the late rapper -- posted a photo of Nipsey on Instagram Sunday, admitting March is always a tough month for her after his murder several years ago ... with her post coming on none other than the anniversary of his murder.

She added ... "31 days of holding my breath. This day decided to fall on Easter Sunday this 2024. Interesting …. considering your name #GodWillRise." Lauren signed off her note by declaring her love for Nipsey, who she was engaged to before his passing.

Doja Cat is butting heads with her fans once again ... this time putting her followers on blast for comparing her natural hair to pubes.

The singer dropped new cover art for her single, "Masc," on Instagram Friday, which featured a close-pic shot of her tight, blonde curls. But it didn't take long for the comments section to take a negative turn ... resulting in DC disabling the comments on the upload.

Doja also hopped on IG Live to address the harsh criticism. A clearly irritated Doja asked her followers to stop comparing the hairstyle to "sheep and pubes and carpet and popcorn."

50 Cent took another shot at his ex Daphne Joy ... continuing to suggest she’s a “sex worker,” only now at a Nicki Minaj show.

Fiddy joined NM on stage during her show at Madison Square Garden Saturday night -- and he used his moment in the spotlight to call out his love for "sex workers" ... a clear dig at his baby mama.

He said the phrase quickly on the mic, but the audience heard it … and got a kick out of it too, it seems.

Kanye West's wife, Bianca Censori, knows how to turn heads, for sure, as she and her hubby once again hit up the Cheesecake Factory at The Grove in L.A.

Bianca left little to the imagination in a sheer, busty getup as they headed in for lunch.

There's a perplexing question here ... how does she stay in amazing shape when they hit up a restaurant -- their go-to eatery these days -- where the sweet corn tamale cakes have 1,340 calories and the quesadilla with kalua pork weighs in at 1,250 calories?!?

This is something you don't see every day ... Robert De Niro, Austin Butler and Snoop Dogg hanging out at a private home -- and having a blast!

Well ... that's exactly what happened at Snoop's Malibu estate Friday and the iconic rapper's son, Cordell, posted a bunch of footage to Instagram showing all the fun during the mini star-studded event.

Check it out ... in one pic, De Niro, Butler, Snoop, and Cordell were sitting together with big smiles on their faces. De Niro and Snoop were also flashing peace signs.

Al B. Sure! seemed to suggest his coma from a couple years back might be tied to Diddy somehow -- and he's also opening up about where things stand with his son Quincy.

The R&B singer showed face Friday at the Equal Justice Now Awards in L.A. -- where Al was promoting his equal access to healthcare initiative alongside Ben Crump -- and he addressed the crowd at one point ... with a cryptic nod to the Diddy situation going on.

Al says he's working on a filmed project that'll tell his life story ... and in the same breath, he said the public will finally get a chance to see how he really ended up in a coma in 2022.

Diddy is out and about in Miami -- and he's even speaking now too ... evidenced in a new clip that an influencer took of the mogul out in the wild, who also captured Stevie J.

Fitness trainer and life coach Wes Watson -- who has more than a million followers on Instagram -- posted a video and a photo on Friday that shows Diddy at a cafe in town called Pura Vida ... and it looks like Puff was in a good mood, flashing a smile and even chatting.

Unclear which location this was at specifically -- there's a zillion of these in the area -- but our bet is that it was one of the ones close to Diddy's homes there on Star Island.

Kevin Gates' 'Ceremony' Tour rolled into L.A. this week and the Louisiana-bred rapper gave one lucky fan a heavy dose of southern hospitality -- maybe more than she bargained for, actually!

TMZ Hip Hop obtained video of KG performing his bedroom banger "Me Too" for a lucky fan he summoned onto the stage to get the princess treatment.

The concert went down inside The Novo in L.A., and the fans lapped up all of Kevin's lyrics as he catcalled to the crowd while holding the young lady's hand ... and thrusting through the sexually charged performance.

Kevin's dancers can also be seen adding an exotic flavor to the song as they crawled across the stage before they ended up p-poppin' on a handstand ... twerky twerk!!!

Before she exited stage left, Kevin surprised the fan with flowers and a gigantic bear hug while warning her not to get all mushy on him!!!

It was a tad too late ... the romantic gesture caused the fan to burst out into tears of joy -- KG even called it a moment of healing, possibly for himself as well.

Lizzo may be taking a big step back from the limelight ... as she announced she was quitting being famous in a disheartening post Friday on social media.

The Grammy winner shared on Instagram she was over the online chatter about her appearance ... and slammed people who were spreading lies about her for clout. According to Lizzo, she has been feeling disrespected after being the butt of jokes and having her character ripped apart by strangers.

She added ... "All I want is to make music and make people happy and help the world be a little better than how I found it. But I'm starting to feel like the world doesn't want me in it."

Diddy's alleged after-hours exploits are set to be unearthed -- that is, if a new listing hyping up supposed BTS videos of him is to be believed, and more importantly ... purchased.

Here's the deal ... TMZ has been made aware of a listing on a crypto exchange site that went up by a person who purports to be in possession of a lot of Diddy footage over the years ... much of which, they claim, features him in some compromising situations.

Specifically, the listing touts itself as having "unreleased, never-before-seen private footage and photos of Diddy in his residence, private jet, studios and various other locations engaged in private activities ... and often doing and saying what appears to be very controversial things."

Diddy's twin daughters are rallying behind their dad during this difficult time -- and what's more, they don't think he deserves having his life turned upside down ... TMZ has learned.

Sources with direct knowledge tell us 17-year-olds D'Lila and Jessie have proven to be incredibly resilient after dealing with the death of their mother Kim Porter in 2018 ... and as a result, we're hearing they aren't all that worried about what's going on with dad.

We're told they have been left dumbfounded by all the chaos surrounding their father -- but despite everything, they still see him as a good guy, and what's happening to him right now is totally unwarranted.

Summer Walker has what should be a show-stopping condition, but the R&B enchantress isn't stopping ANY performances ... because she knows fans paid good money to see her!!!

SW's currently overseas as the headliner for Australia and New Zealand's first-ever R&B and Soul music festival, 'Souled Out' ... but sources close to the "Over It" singer tell TMZ Hip Hop she came down with a case of bronchitis a few days ago.

We're told Summer doesn't believe in modern medicine, so she's been soothing her throat with a blend of herbs and teas in the meantime.

Summer battled through the 2nd date of the festival in Auckland, New Zealand, and the next one went down Friday in Melbourne, Australia.

We're told she's been on heavy vocal rest, meaning absolutely minimal speaking until her shows begin.

Kodak Black is facing a lawsuit from a high-end limo service accusing him of owing a whopping $600k in unpaid fees ... but the "Zeze" rapper blames the company for snoozing at the wheel!!!

Kodak was sued this week by I&D Concierge -- the limo company KB used from 2018 to 2024 -- for allegedly skipping out on hundreds of hours worth of driving services.

But Kodak's lawyer Bradford Cohen is firing back at the lawsuit, telling TMZ Hip Hop ... I&D took full advantage of his client when he was going through a rough patch, and capitalized on the situation.

Beyoncé has done a lot with her new album -- especially for Black country artists who might've been discouraged from diving into the genre ... so says one of her collaborators.

We talked to singer Tiera Kennedy Friday on "TMZ Live," the same day Queen Bey dropped 'Cowboy Carter' to widespread acclaim ... and she tells us working on the pop star's new project was a dream come true.

Tiera, who appeared on the "Blackbird" cover, says she never would've thought she'd be on a Beyoncé track -- let alone in a country capacity -- but says the fact that it happened is wild (in a good way, of course).

Diddy created the image, "What me worry?" Thursday night as he took his twins to hit up Topgolf in Miami ... the same town where feds raided one of his homes earlier this week.

Diddy flashed a peace sign as he left with 17-year-old daughters Jessie and D'Lila. The girls smiled as Diddy walked behind raising his 2 fingers. You can't look more chill than the Sergio Tacchini velour tracksuit he was rocking.

We're told everyone was in good spirits as they played for 2 hours, although behind the scenes it's anything but calm in the Diddy camp.

Patrick Mahomes is distancing himself from Diddy as the rap mogul faces a mountain of troubling allegations ... with the Kansas City Chiefs superstar's social media accounts deleting posts that reference Sean Combs' stage name.

Back in the year 2014, Mahomes shared two posts that included the phrase "P Diddy" -- which is what the Bad Boy founder went by from 2001-2004.

At least one of the tweets appears to be completely unrelated to the artist ... as it mentioned a friend with the username "@Pat_Day_75," who seems to be a longtime friend from Texas.
