NLE Choppa has added movie director to his résumé -- by remaking Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg's car wash comedy "The Wash" with the help of Lil Wayne and social media influencers!!!

The "Shotta Flow" rapper recently unleashed his "NLE Choppa Presents: The Wash" on YouTube for fans to soak in for free.

The newly minted filmmaker co-directed the bit with hip hop video vet Ben Marc, and they didn't even bother with a script ... Wayne, Sukihana, Ray Vaughn, Relly B, Yaisel LM and several more improvised their parts!!!

Cardi B came in hot, defending herself against haters who questioned her using her phone notes for a speech at VP Kamala Harris' rally Friday night.

The rapper didn’t hold back on TikTok, dropping some choice words for her critics as she explained she did put serious effort into her speech, but had to jot it down -- because, well, juggling life as a mom of 3 isn’t exactly light work.

Cardi admitted she went all in for Friday -- even talking about how she rehearses in the shower for important events ... but then sometimes blanks when it's time to do the face-to-face speaking.

Drake made his feelings toward DeMar DeRozan crystal clear on Saturday ... targeting the former Toronto Raptor in an apparent retaliation for appearing in Kendrick Lamar's "Not Like Us" music video.

DeRozan's Sacramento Kings were in Toronto to play against the Raptors ... and, despite suiting up for Drake's beloved team from 2009 to 2018, the 6ix God gave him far from a warm welcome.

The night began on a high note with the Raptors' jersey retirement ceremony for Vince Carter ... but when Drake was asked on the TSN broadcast if DeRozan should have his jersey in the rafters, too, he threw some serious shade.

Kamala Harris says she's always looking out for her own ... putting her rally on pause to direct medics to someone who needs help -- and, saying that's what leadership's all about.

The veep hosted a star-studded rally in Atlanta Saturday ... and, when she finally came out to speak, it seems she noticed a supporter who was in distress -- and, she immediately stopped her speech to help get medics to her.

Check out the clip ... KH points into the crowd and asks for a medic to hustle over -- before asking fans to part so the emergency medical team can get to the person in need.

Miami Beach has officially cut ties with Diddy, revoking his Key to the City amid his ongoing legal problems ... TMZ has learned.

The now-disgraced rapper was officially stripped of his honor this week in light of his arrest, indictment and avalanche of sexual assault lawsuits that have piled up against him -- 9 years after he was first awarded the Key to the City.

We're told Miami Beach Mayor Steven Meiner and the city commission voted unanimously on the decision at an in-person hearing Wednesday. Our sources tell us the mayor still has to officially sign off on the resolution, which is imminent.

Cardi B is doubling down on her endorsement of Kamala Harris ... speaking at the Democratic nominee's rally in Milwaukee, Wisconsin Friday evening.

The rapper hit the podium to address the crowd at the campaign event ... which also featured performances from GloRilla, Flo Milli, MC Lyte, The Isley Brothers, and DJ Gemini Gilly.

But, it was Cardi's speech that drew the most attention, especially since the rapper had originally planned not to vote this election ... that is, until Biden dropped out of the race and Harris was nominated.

Diddy's methods of keeping his business affairs have been shrouded in mystery, but now TMZ can show how -- 'cause we've obtained a standard Combs NDA studio attendees were required to sign.

The document -- a pretty standard non-disclosure agreement -- prevents signees from sharing information related to Diddy, his family members, current or former partners, spouses, friends of business associates.

The NDA tells signees not to photograph, film or record -- or, have another person photograph film or record -- Diddy or anyone in his orbit without his written consent ... and, specifically names social media sites where attendees can't post photos Diddy doesn't sign off on.

The spookiest celebs brought controlled chaos to the Chateau Marmont ... with stars showing off their most creative costumes at the famous hotel's annual Halloween party.

Some of the biggest stars in H'wood pulled up to the big bash in elaborate costumes ... like Machine Gun Kelly and Megan Fox, who crushed an Anakin Skywalker and Padmé Amidala couple's costume.

Newly engaged stars Nina Dobrev and Shaun White dove into Batman's rogues gallery for their costume ... channeling Catwoman and the Riddler from the hit 1990s 'Batman' films.

Fat Joe became the butt of all jokes at the Los Angeles Dodgers championship parade day when Enrique Hernández credited him with helping the New York Yankees LOSE the World Series!!!

Kiké took the podium Friday and had no shame in his game sizing up the effectiveness of Ice Cube's performance in comparison to Joe's Timberland'ed time on the mound 😬

Game 2 featured the former N.W.A. leader even impressing a few Yankees with his performance of "Bow Down" and "It Was A Good Day" -- and Kiké says the Blue Crew had the game in the bag.

The Dodgers just wrapped up their World Series parade ... and it was epic -- as it featured Walker Buehler slugging beer, Dave Roberts dancing on Ice Cube ... and even Shohei Ohtani addressing fans in English!

Buehler's chug got all the festivities kicked off on Friday afternoon ... as just after the team's championship busses got going down their parade route through downtown Los Angeles, he whipped out a beer bong and guzzled a cold one.

For the next hour or so, around an estimated two million people cheered on the newly minted champs as they made their way through the roadways.

Lyfe Jennings is claiming his old record label Sony Music owes him $15 million, and they're dragging their feet about paying him -- but he's focused on getting even by revamping his old songs!!!

The R&B vet caught up with TMZ Hip Hop at LAX on Thursday and he told us he's in for the good fight ... even as he knows the outcome isn't in his favor.

Lyfe says he signed a loopholed contract with Sony ahead of his 2004 debut album, where they were able to keep most of the profits for themselves because he didn't get in the black within the first 3 years!!!

Bianca Censori threw us a curveball this Halloween ... ditching her usual barely-there look for a surprise cover-up, proving even she can play it a little coy when she wants to.

The Aussie model hit the club in Harajuku, Japan, with her man, Kanye West, on Thursday, rocking a baby-blue ensemble -- and even though it was more fabric than we’re used to seeing from her, she still brought the heat with an insanely skintight fit.

Bianca paired her figure-hugging turtleneck with tiny nude shorts, putting those legs on full display. While some might still call it risqué, for Bianca, this was an unexpectedly demure look ... and she seemed to be really getting into it!

Fat Joe is adding his 2 cents to the brewing conversation that today's hip hop journalists are big trash, spurned over backlash from Kendrick Lamar giving his first "Not Like Us" interview to SZA!!!

The Bronx rap legend sat down for a new interview to discuss the fleeting practice of artists having journalists ask them fair questions, in exchange, to be able to alter the narrative on their own platforms. Fat Joe says the coverage of Tupac Shakur and Biggie's beef led to their demise!!!

"I also believe that the old guard of hip-hop journalists created a lot of conflict and might even have blood on their hands," Joe explained.

Tyler, The Creator cursed out Taylor Swift's Swifties for bringing up his old lyrics in hopes of getting him canceled ... he's doubling down on his wildest words!!!

On Halloween, Tyler surprised his Boston fans with a “Chromakopia” album concert to promote his latest project after he defiantly released it Monday -- against music industry standards.

The release shot Tyler to the top of the Global Spotify Artist chart for 3 consecutive days ... knocking Taylor of that perch, and likely sparking the ire of Swifties everywhere.

But, he fired back defiantly ... addressing Taylor's army while on top of the Converse Flagship Store -- "I got Swifties all mad at me with their racist ass ... Bitch, go listen to 'Tron Cat' -- I don't give a f***!!!"

A former Playboy model claims she was at a Diddy "Freak-Off" with a soundtrack ... music from one Jennifer Lopez.

Rachel Kennedy says it all went down in Japan in 2000, when she and 2 friends met Diddy at a topless club and he invited them back to his hotel suite.

Kennedy, who appeared on the Daily Mail's "The Trial of Diddy" podcast, says she thought she was going to a party -- but when she arrived the only person in the room was Diddy in a bathrobe.

Heidi Klum's Halloween bash is always a wild event -- but this year it was totally out of this world!

The supermodel and her hubby, Tom Kaulitz, dressed up as Mr. and Mrs. E.T. -- the extra-terrestrial character from Steven Spielberg's 1982 classic alien film -- for her annual spookfest, which was held at the Hard Rock Cafe in NYC.

Heidi brought E.T. to new heights, recreating the glowing fingertip of the movie's strange but kind visitor from a faraway galaxy. She wore a mechanical E.T. costume head with a portable mouth and eyes, which were controlled remotely by Heidi's handlers.
