According to new legal docs, obtained by TMZ, the talk show host says her rapper ex-husband is not following through with a bunch of things they agreed to when they finalized their split.

Megan Thee Stallion has officially centered herself into the 2024-25 NFL season with the kick-off anthem that reimagines arguably the biggest stadium rocker of all time ... Queen's "We Will Rock You"!!!

Ahead of the defending champs Kansas City Chiefs and Baltimore Ravens opening game on Thursday, the superstar rapper showcased her royal raps for Pepsi's "Roman Empire" ad -- inspired by the upcoming blockbuster hopeful "Gladiator II."

Actors Lamorne Morris and Jake Lacy also star in the clip, as do Travis Kelce and fellow NFL stars Josh Allen, Derrick Henry and Justin Jefferson.

Ludacris has throws in different area codes -- the rap legend gave a memorable first pitch at the Atlanta Braves game on Wednesday ... proving he's really got an arm (or in this case, two).

Luda elected to rock the comically large limbs from his iconic "Get Back" music video for the ceremonial toss prior to the matchup against the Colorado Rockies ... as well as the giant Nike Air Force 1s from his "Stand Up" visuals for good measure.

Despite the prosthetics, Luda was able to hurl his pitch relatively close to the strike zone ... resulting in a pretty respectable effort.

Donald Trump is thanking Patrick Mahomes' wife, Jenn Tran is getting dumped, and Flau'jae Johnson is recruiting Adele ... all this on today's TMZ TV Hot Takes.

First up on "TMZ Live," Harvey and Babcock break down the love fest between Trump and Brittany Mahomes.

50 Cent's admission that Desiigner wasn't worth signing back in the day has apparently gotten under the "Panda" rapper's skin -- because he's ready to roll out a "hit" in the form of a diss song!!!

During his recent Humor & Harmony Weekend, 50 couldn't remember Desiigner's name while chatting with Gillie and Wallo ... but remembered the Brooklyn native only had one chart-topper in the chamber when they sat down together circa 2015 as "Panda" was dodging comparisons to Future's sound.

Desiigner wasted no time putting together a reaction record -- which he captioned "POV: Another Hit" on Instagram, despite the song sounding pretty unfinished.

Moneybagg Yo just added an extra layer to his lavish rap lyrics ... with a new grill for his mouthpiece that has him cheesing from ear to ear!!!

5 Star Smiles CEO Danielle Noguera tells TMZ Hip Hop -- Moneybagg was in her Miami dental office last Friday, where he got fitted for his new golden chompers -- $100K in total!!!

The Memphis rapper had 4-carat VVS diamonds installed in the teeth as well ... and couldn't wait to hop on FaceTime with his friends to show off the fancy work.

Megan Thee Stallion scored a No. 1 hit in the form of a Nicki Minaj diss song to kick off her year -- the opening of the 2024 Rap Wars she has no clue how she got involved in!!!

In her new cover interview with Billboard, Megan admitted she was happy if she inspired a spark in competitive -- and combative -- rapping with the January release of "Hiss," which was followed by spats between Chris Brown vs. Quavo, Eminem vs. Benzino and Drake vs. Kendrick Lamar ... and of course, everyone else.

Nicki wasted no time responding with her own acidic diss "Big Foot" -- but Megan says it's anyone's guess what initially caused the rift ... "I still to this day don’t know what the problem is. I don’t even know what could be reconciled because I, to this day, don’t know what the problem is," she said.

Cardi B and Offset put on a friendly front at their son Wave's birthday bash this weekend ... but TMZ has learned the rappers are still very much broken up.

Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ ... Cardi and Offset's divorce is still on and moving forward, despite their recent reunion at DreamWorks Water Park inside American Dream in East Rutherford, NJ.

Sabrina Carpenter's runaway "Espresso" hit song has brewed into a No. 1 album for the singer in a photo finish -- only beating Travis Scott's "Days Before Rodeo" retro release by 600 units!!!

The Billboard 200 officially released the nail-biter results for this week on Tuesday -- after a down-to-the-wire delay due to the Labor Day holiday.

Sabrina had previously promised a victory to avenge Nicki Minaj against Travis -- his 2018 "Astroworld" album versus Nicki's "Queen" album was a showdown for the ages -- and you can see just how close Sabrina's "Short n' Sweet" narrowly got the job done!

Ice Spice has lost yet another BFF, who's claiming to being used as a loop in her BB Belt -- and her enemies just might be teaming up!!!

Rapper Cleotrapa used her Labor Day Weekend to completely unload on Ice Spice ... dropping a 45-minute TikTok video where she accused the "Munch" rapper of being a fake friend ... and claiming she experienced less-than-VIP treatment as the opening act on Ice's Y2K Tour.

According to Cleo, she had to foot the bill for her own hotels and meal per diem ... and was forced to use stinky bathrooms as her dressing rooms.

Cardi B doesn't hold any grudges against Offset, or at least she's not showing it, because the 2 reunited over the weekend for a special occasion.

Cardi and Offset hosted their now 3-year-old son's birthday party at DreamWorks Water Park inside American Dream in East Rutherford, NJ. It looks super amicable ... Cardi's dancing as she holds Wave.

She also posted a video of Offset bending down so he could see Wave eye-to-eye as they danced.

Flau'jae Johnson isn't interested in being called an athlete who raps ... the LSU national champion and artist behind the hit track with Lil' Wayne says her goals are far loftier -- as in Adele collaborations and Grammy Award wins!

TMZ Sports talked to 20-year-old Flau'jae just days after she dropped the music video for "Came Out A Beast" -- which already has over a million views -- and asked #4 if she believed she was the best athlete rapper.

"I don't know. I'm not them. That's not my title because I'm really taking this seriously. Like I'm trying to perform arenas. I'm trying to tour. I'm trying to be a real established artist. I want to win a Grammy."

Nicki Minaj's husband's in hot water online ... with many blasting him -- and Nicki, by extension -- after he used a gay slur in a TikTok live.

Kenneth says, "That’s right, especially little f****** or f*** boys," using a derogatory term for gay people used prevalently in the rap world.

Thank you so much, I love you x."
