Fetty Wap rolled into court Wednesday with $165k in cold hard cash to settle up several driving offenses except the one he says he's really guilty of -- DWB-AR ... driving while black and rich.

Fetty overprepared for his appearance in the NJ courtroom, where he entered many guilty pleas. The judge only hit him with a $360 fine, so he left with most of his stacks ... and flaunted the dough outside.

He was facing charges for driving with a suspended license, overly tinted windows and failure to replace lost or defaced license plates. All of that stemmed from his July arrest, but all's well that ends well.

He's keeping the tinted windows though -- Fetty's lawyer, Navarro Gray, told the judge it's necessary due to the rapper's glaucoma.

Drake is more banged up than he thought and says his injured ankle is forcing him to postpone his tour.

The rapper broke the bad news Wednesday, telling fans he's putting off at least 3 upcoming concerts. He specifically named Toronto, Philly and one of his Newark shows. Drake says he's been toughing it out, but he's now under "doctor's orders" to take a break.

Although Drizzy already made a stop in Meek Mill's hometown earlier in the tour -- you gotta think Meek's crew wanted a second bite of the apple.

Drake used the word "postpone" ... so chances are the shows will be rescheduled, even though he doesn't mention new dates.

Zola the stripper's boobs are making her famous again ... but this time it has nothing to do with a wild adventure with "white bitch" Jessica -- it's about feeding her infant inside Hooters.

Zola's pic of her breastfeeding her 5-month-old daughter got torn apart by Twitter trolls -- who've called her everything from a "child abuser" to a "molester" for choosing to open the milk bar for all to see.

Zola, whose real name is Aziah King, is a former Hooters waitress and tells us she was shocked by the backlash because she breastfeeds in malls, grocery stores and even church. As for the Hooters hate, she thinks it's hypocritical to ask her to cover her boobs in a place that celebrates them.

BTW, she says no one at the restaurant said a thing, so she didn't think it was a big deal. The way Zola puts it, if her daughter's hungry ... she's gonna eat.

So we gotta ask ...

Kim Kardashian made it a point to reach out to Lamar Odom's baby mama, Liza Morales, when he overdosed last year -- and went out of her way to help Liza's family throughout the ordeal.

Liza appeared on "Raq Rants" with Raquel Harper -- and explained how she appreciated the effort Kim made to accommodate her family while Lamar was in the hospital.

FYI, Liza has 2 kids with the ex-NBA star -- and says her relationship with Odom has improved over the past year.

As far as Lamar's drug addiction -- Liza says the family is supporting Odom but explains, "Just like anything else, it's one day at a time."

Liza says she's still blown away by how far Odom has come since the Oct. 2015 incident -- an incident that some people thought was scripted for reality TV.

Petra Ecclestone's feeling lucky after the Playboy Mansion sold for $100 mil -- she's selling Spelling Manor again for double that, and she thinks she can get it ... TMZ has learned.

Sources close to the Formula One heiress tell us Petra recently listed the Manor for the second time in 2 years for a whopping $200 million ... all because of what Hugh Hefner fetched for his famous crib this summer.

You'll recall ... the Playboy Mansion was sold in August to Hef's next door neighbor after a long back and forth. The final price tag was $100 mil ... and that place is WAY smaller than the Manor, which boasts 14 bedrooms, 27 baths and 56,500 square feet of space.

We're told Petra feels the real estate market is hot right now, and thinks she can flip a $115 million profit ... unlike last time.

With the help of realtors like Rick Hilton and David Kramer, here's to hoping she can.

Angelina Jolie's decided Malibu is the key to keeping her kids out of the media circus surrounding her bitter divorce from Brad Pitt.

Despite reports she's moving into Denise Richards' old Hidden Hills crib ... we're told her team is actually searching for another Malibu rental -- one more spacious and safe than the one where she's currently living.

We're told Angie likes the seclusion of Malibu. Translation: removed from Hollywood -- and the plan is to have multiple rentals there to keep photogs off the trail of her and the kids. As for a permanent home ... we're told that's up in the air while she and Brad hammer out their property split.

As we previously reported, Angie's already renting a 5 bedroom, 5 bathroom Malibu estate with killer ocean views.

Drake made the ultimate salute to his fave college, Drake University ... but didn't even give the students a chance to big him up, since he went in all top secret.

Drake stopped by the campus in Iowa super early Wednesday morning after his show in Des Moines. He cruised down Greek row looking to holler at some sororities. You can tell by this clip ... there are some pissed off women on campus today.

The ladies of Kappa Kappa Gamma tell TMZ ... they were part of a huge social media campaign to get Drizzy to visit. They say there were rumors he was on campus, but no one spotted him.

Now that they've seen the vids he posted ... the KKGs say they're crushed, and they're desperately trying to get him to swing back for a home-cooked meal. We're guessing they'd even break out their best Top Ramen.

They've probably missed out -- he only had one night scheduled in Iowa -- but now they know when that doorbell rings, it can only mean one thing: Drake WAS in town, and they slept through it.

Kim Kardashian is closer to busting the thieves who broke into her apartment and stole her jewelry, because a CCTV camera reportedly caught a reflection of them in a mirror during their getaway.

Paris cops seized the footage Tuesday morning from the Bel Ange nail salon near Kim's apartment, according to The Sun. A camera inside the store faced a large mirror outside and reportedly got a clear shot of the crooks as they fled through a small retail area.

We spoke with the nail salon owner ... she insists they did not turn over any video to cops, but says the footage might be from another store in the shopping area.

A second camera reportedly caught the robbers as they continued through an unlocked backdoor down a parking lot corridor ... according to European press.

Cops reportedly have collected evidence -- including cigarette butts -- from the shopping center and they're doing DNA tests ... the assumption being the crooks have a record and their DNA is on file.

As we reported, there is no surveillance footage from Kim's apartment.

Steve Aoki just became the owner of an eSports team ... and he's crossing his fingers the investment's worth it.

Wale went nuts on a blonde chick who blew a massive cloud of smoke in his face ... what's not clear is why they were both so pissed.

The rapper was on his way out of Bootsy Bellows Tuesday night, following the woman and her friends. Watch how it plays out -- it appears Wale said something that rubbed her the wrong way ... she barked, "Are you really following me?"

That's when things went downhill fast, with Wale getting a little physical ... with her food.

We got Wale -- with his baby girl -- on "TMZ Live" Wednesday where he told us the food smackdown was triggered by the woman dropping a "you people" insult on him. He says he'd never hit a girl, but at the time he didn't think the woman deserved to eat ...

Laura Prepon is weighing in a little heavier these days after Ben Foster slipped a diamond engagement ring on her ... which made its debut in NYC.

Ben and Laura have only been together, at least publicly, since the summer, but he popped the question anyway. The "Orange Is the New Black" star strategically positioned her bling Tuesday night at the premiere of her new movie, "The Girl on the Train."

It's Laura's first engagement, and Ben's second. He was engaged to Robin Wright, but they called it off in 2015.

Congrats!

The concierge who was taken up Kim Kardashian's private elevator and opened the door to a $10 million jewelry heist has become the critical witness ... sources connected to the case tell TMZ.

We're told Kim has downloaded Paris cops about her interactions with the concierge. We've learned on Tuesday Kim had an extensive interview with cops by phone and told them the following:

-- The concierge was handcuffed when he opened the door to her apartment.

-- As she put it, "He opened the door and led them [the robbers] up and was in there the whole time."

-- Kim told police she engaged the concierge in conversation, saying, "Are we gonna die?" He calmly responded, "I don't know."

-- Kim, we're told, made a point to cops that the concierge was extremely calm, despite being cuffed and held at gunpoint.

-- Kardashian says when the robbers left the apartment they took the concierge with them and deposited him in the lobby where his hands were still cuffed.

Rod Temperton, the songwriter behind several of Michael Jackson's hits, including "Thriller" ... has died after a brief battle with cancer.

The chairman of Warner/Chappell made the announcement Wednesday morning ... though it appears Temperton died days earlier. His family has already had his funeral.

"Thriller" producer Quincy Jones brought in Temperton to write or co-write "Thriller," "Baby Be Mine" and "The Lady in My Life." He also penned "Off The Wall" and "Rock With You" for MJ.

The Brit was an established hitmaker before Jackson, writing hits for Heatwave, George Benson and Patti Austin and James Ingram.

He won a Grammy for Quincy's "Birdland" in 1990. He was also nominated for 2 Oscars for the 'Color Purple' soundtrack.

Temperton was one of those guys who might not have been a household name -- but he was a legend in the industry, and you know all his hits.

#RIP

Here's Lindsey Vonn -- burning up the streets of New York in another smokin' hot outfit.

Vonn's new look comes off the heels of a tasteful nude skiing pic she posted on social media -- a pic she posted to show how confident she is with her body.

"It's taken me 31 years to finally be confident with my body and who I am, and I can't wait to share this with you."

Yeah ... keep up the good work.

Diddy brought the curtain down on his Bad Boy Family Reunion tour in L.A., and made sure Faith Evans knew just how much he'll be missing her.

Diddy, Faith and crew made their way out of Bootsy Bellows Tuesday night ... hours after their last show at The Forum ... and before they took off, Puff sparked up a round of applause just for Faith.

Check out the clip -- Faith was definitely feeling the praise. As she should ... from all reports, she brought the house down at The Forum.

Jennifer Tilly was in Paris when the Kim Kardashian robbery went down, and she says most of the city ain't exactly reeling after the huge international news.

We got Jennifer at LAX right after her return from Paris. She's not really one to scare easily (umm, see 'Chucky') ... so you can tell she was shaken up when she heard what happened to Kim ... in fact, she feels bad for her.

However, the City of Light? Not so much.
