Lil Wayne has fans in a panic after the rapper seemingly retired and then changed his mind all within a few hours.

Weezy posted early Saturday morning on Twitter, saying, "I AM NOW DEFENSELESS AND mentally DEFEATED & I leave gracefully and thankful I luh my fanz but I'm dun." It's unclear what led to Wayne's message ... but he appeared to have a change of heart just hours after the post.

Wanye later said, "ain't lookin for sympathy, just serenity" and then assured his fans everything was fine by posting, "I'm good y'all don't trip."

It's no secret -- Wayne's had some serious issues with Birdman and Young Money -- so it's possible he contemplated retiring to void his deal.

One thing's for sure ... he's got hip hop fans on edge.

7:30 AM PST -- Heller died after suffering some sort of medical emergency while driving in Ventura County Friday just before noon. We're told he slammed into a mini-van and was taken to the hospital with serious injuries. It's unclear if he died from the medical emergency, the collision, or both.

Jerry Heller, the groundbreaking/controversial manager who brought Eazy-E and N.W.A. to fame and helped change the landscape of music is dead.

Heller was embroiled in controversy for decades, right up until his death Friday. He was accused of fleecing members of N.W.A. Some members, including Dr. Dre and Ice Cube, accused him of outright stealing.

Heller and Eazy-E founded Ruthless Records, which churned out a number of rap stars ... until Suge Knight and Death Row Records stole the big ones.

Heller filed a $110 million defamation lawsuit against producers of "Straight Outta Compton" for the way he was portrayed. He vowed on "TMZ Live" to continue that fight. The case was pending at the time of his death.

Heller also worked with huge rock and soul acts in the '60s and '70s including ... Elton John, Pink Floyd, Marvin Gaye, Otis Redding, The Who and Ike & Tina Turner.

He was 75. RIP.

Lena Dunham is continuing her apology tour to Odell Beckham Jr. ... now claiming the hot models and actresses she was surrounded by at The Met Gala made her feel insecure.

In a lengthy post -- Dunham apologizes -- saying, "... when I show up to the Met Ball surrounded by models and swan-like actresses it's hard not to feel like a sack of flaming garbage." She says her insecurities led her to make assumptions about what Odell was thinking about her.

She continues, "I see how unfair it is to ascribe misogynistic thoughts to someone I don't know AT ALL. Like, we have never met, I have no idea the kind of day he's having or what his truth is."

Dunham also apologized for her contribution to, "a long and often violent history of the over-sexualization of black male bodies- as well as false accusations by white women towards black men."

Kendall Jenner proves the rich really do get richer ... but in this case it's because of a fast-thinking Uber competitor.

Seems Kendall had a problem with her Uber account ... for some reason it was put on hold. Kim made it public by grousing on Twitter ... she had to drive Kendall around.

Uber said it was just an account glitch ... but we're told Lyft swooped in before the problem was corrected and offered Kendall free rides for a year.

Good thing it happened during a long weekend. Now she can afford to go out to dinner.

Colin Kaepernick's protest against police brutality has Santa Clara cops pissed ... in fact, they're so pissed, some are threatening to stop working 49ers' games.

In a letter sent by The Santa Clara Police Officer's Association, members call the QB's statements about cops, "insulting, inaccurate and completely unsupported by any facts."

The letter continues, "If the 49ers organization fails to take action to stop this type of inappropriate workplace behavior, it could result in police officers choosing not to work at your facilities."

As TMZ Sports reported ... Kaepernick has received both heat and praise from across the country for choosing to sit in silent protest during the national anthem.

"Love & Hip Hop" star Tommie Lee couldn't give a hoot about spending the last 48 hours behind bars ... she beelined it for the club when the jail doors opened.

Tommie Lee was booked for making terroristic threats against Joseline Hernandez back in March.

In one of the more awesome videos, Tommie Lee Snapchatted her beauty secrets for taking a memorable mug.

Brock Turner's parents are scared for their son's safety ... so much so they've asked cops to help them deal with protesters and others who might do him harm ... TMZ has learned.

Law enforcement sources in Ohio also tell us ... they're tracking social media to monitor any threatening activity -- whether it be from Sugarcreek Township residents -- many of whom are unhappy about a sex offender in their 'hood -- to angry outsiders.

Law enforcement is vague about actual threats, but one source did say, "Everybody is always concerned about death threats."

Protesters are expected in force over the weekend at the Turners' house. One protester tells us some of them will be open carrying, but he vows to refrain from violence.

Brock was released from jail Friday morning after serving 3 months for sexual assault. He'll have to register as a sex offender.

Tyga should have a rewards card for the repo man -- in addition to his Ferrari, we found out he recently lost a Maybach too!

Sources with direct knowledge of the deal tell us the rapper's 2014 Maybach 62 S Landaulet broke down a couple months ago, and got towed to a Laguna Niguel repair shop. We're told Tyga had missed a few payments, naturally, so the financing company put someone on the job.

We're told a source tipped off the repo man about the $2.2 million whip's whereabouts, and Tyga never saw it again. He had the whip for a couple years though, so as his vehicles go ... that's a pretty good stretch.

As for Tyga's Ferrari, which Kylie tried to insinuate had not been repossessed -- we got a pic of it back with the rightful owner.

Nickelodeon star Drake Bell will cool his heels in jail ... after being sentenced to the slammer for his second DUI conviction.

The "Drake and Josh" star struck a plea deal and got 96 hours in L.A. County Jail. The sentence is mandatory since it's his second conviction. Bell was busted back in January and in San Diego in 2009.

The current case had Bell swerving and driving 55 in a 35 MPH zone.

In addition to jail, he'll be placed on 4 years probation and he has to attend an alcohol ed program.

Chris Brown's in the hot seat again, facing another possible felony. And Kaepernick's taking heat for his protest. So we gotta ask ...

Hailee Lautenbach brought all the essentials for a solo picnic at the beach -- a towel, some fruit, and her phone for taking selfies.

The Wilhelmina L.A. model was in Venice, and all was going according to plan ... until a fellow beachgoer made a fowl play on her snacks.

Nick Young will do what Colin Kaepernick did when the National Anthem is played at Lakers games, with one big difference.

Nick went to Playhouse Friday night and told our photog he's down with the 49ers QB. As for the other big story ... he said it all comes down to white privilege.

Don't call it a comeback, but Christina Milian's quick hands are back in a boxing ring ... and it's more than just a great workout, because the sweet science is in her blood.

We're told she started taking classes this week with her trainer, Jason Ross, at LA Fitness in Hollywood. It's the first time she's laced up the gloves in years, but her grandfather and father both boxed and taught her from childhood.

The video's pretty sick -- Christina's already throwing strong combinations. We're told it's mostly about fitness now, but she's not ruling out sparring eventually ... with very thick headgear, we hope.

Don't mess with yer moneymaker, Tina!

Don't let Sara Sampaio's Ibiza bod get in the way of the task at hand ... try to figure out the differences hiding in these two bikini-clad candids.

"Without a Trace" star Anthony LaPaglia will have LOTS of toys to occupy his time now that he's officially single.

Anthony will get to keep a bunch of cars and all his sports memorabilia now that the ink is dry on his divorce from "My Big Fat Greek Wedding" star, Gia Carides ... according to legal docs obtained by TMZ.

There was no prenup, so Anthony and Gia will pretty much split everything down the middle ... including royalties for their big hits while they were married ... standard stuff in CA.

Anthony keeps 2 Mercedes-Benz cars, a 2012 Ford truck and 7 motorcycles, including 3 Ducatis. Plus ... a Steinway baby grand piano.

Gia gets a one-time $12k check, plus $2,234 a month in spousal support. As for child support, she gets $870 a month, which is dirt cheap for Hollywood folks. But there's a kicker ... Anthony's gotta tack on another 10% of any money he brings in over $182k.

We put out the APB for sexy pics and you guys totally came through!
