XXXTentacion's music is climbing the charts at warp speed ... following his tragic death.

The rapper -- who was gunned down Monday in Florida -- has the no. 1 and no. 2 albums on Amazon's Movers and Shakers Digital Music list. His album "?" -- which dropped in March -- saw a whopping 41,306% spike in a matter of hours. XXX's "17" album is up nearly 9,000%.

But the success isn't limited to digital music. XXX is garnering plenty of attention in the CDs and vinyl category too. He holds the no. 2 and 3 spots with the LP of "?" jumping a staggering 542,566% and the CD "?" seeing a 54,057% spike in sales.

XXX's also dominating on iTunes ... his "SAD!" track from his latest album is currently the no. 1 song. The track "changes" from the same album sits at no. 5. The album skyrocketed to no. 3 overall on the iTunes charts. The album "17" which debuted back in 2017 is also in the top 10 at no. 5.

As for Spotify ... the streaming service pulled his music following charges filed against him based on the alleged beating of his pregnant GF. But Spotify's reversed course since he was killed in South Florida -- Spotify featured an "RIP XXXTentacion" banner and featured his playlist at the top of its browse carousel.

Pete Davidson and Ariana Grande are battling over who's better at showing off -- Pete proudly parading around his smoking hot fiancée, or Ariana flaunting her massive engagement ring.

Pete and Ariana were arm-in-arm Monday in NYC -- shopping for furniture, btw -- and she made sure to keep her hand at the perfect tilt for photogs. Pretty obvious, she's thrilled with Pete's choice of ring.

TMZ broke the story ... Pete dropped $93k for the 3.03 carat diamond. As they say ... if ya got it, flaunt it -- especially when ya got 3 carats of it!

The heirs to Prince's fortune are calling out Tidal for allegedly lying about streaming data, and they're so pissed about it ... they want to pull the plug on a lucrative deal.

The attorney for Sharon, Norrine and John Nelson blew the whistle on Tidal with the probate judge in Prince's case. In a letter, obtained by TMZ, they say Tidal's been accused of "inflating the streaming numbers" for Beyonce's "Lemonade" and Kanye West's "The Life of Pablo," a claim that has reportedly been denied by Tidal CEO Richard Sanders.

They say Tidal allegedly boosted the numbers by several hundred million streams ... which would jack up the royalties paid to Bey and Ye.

Meghan Markle is quickly becoming a woman of many hats, but her hubby, Prince Harry, managed to top hers Tuesday at the races.

Meghan and Harry hit up the Royal Ascot -- a hoity toity horse race outside London with more than $10 million in prize money available. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex arrived at the track in a horse-drawn carriage, and some pretty sweet headgear.

She wore a floppy white and black number, while Harry went straight Monopoly ... rocking a top hat. Seriously, all he's missing is the monocle.

Meghan's been on one royal outing after another since getting hitched to Harry in May, including a girls' trip with the Queen.

No ride with Her Majesty this time around, which is probably a good thing since Harry's got the door.

Milwaukee Bucks player Sterling Brown has filed a lawsuit against the Milwaukee police officers who hit him with a stun gun during a January arrest.

In the suit, obtained by TMZ Sports, Brown claims he feared for his life as officers shoved him, tased him and stomped on his leg ... in a dispute over a parking space.

As we previously reported, Brown was confronted by a group of Milwaukee Police Dept. officers around 2 AM on Jan. 26 outside of a Walgreens -- where his car was parked in two handicap spaces.

Cops aggressively approached Brown and escalated the situation -- ultimately choosing to take him down by force ... and tasing him.

In his suit, Brown claims ... "shortly after Defendants threw Mr. Brown to the ground, [one of the officers] used his right foot to stomp on Mr. Brown’s leg. Then after the Taser was shot into Mr. Brown’s back, [the officer] proceeded to stomp on Mr. Brown’s leg with both feet."

Video of the incident shows Brown never made an aggressive move toward cops or really did anything warranting the violent takedown.

9:32 PM PT -- Brandon just responded to his dad's post ... "I thank my Dad for paying for my treatment. It's the best thing he has ever done for me. Today I am almost two years sober. Every day that goes by I feel ever more grateful. My clear mind has allowed me to do a lot with this time. So much so that I would like to offer to pay for his treatment."

Tommy Lee is taking the most disgusting shot yet in the war with his son, Brandon Lee -- bitching about all the money he's spent on raising him ... including the tab for rehab.

The Motley Crue drummer says he spent $130k to get Brandon treatment, another $40k on his 21st birthday ... and $10k on his own medical bills after Brandon knocked him out earlier this year. Tommy's finishing touch -- "Son acting like a victim on social media on father's day: Priceless."

Dad's clearly still fuming over the fact Brandon posted video on Father's Day showing Tommy out cold after their fight back in March -- but Dad's tweet takes it to a really ugly level.

Brandon's never gone public with any substance abuse issues, so IF it's true ... his own father just outed him. Not to mention the whole people in glass houses thing -- Tommy's battled addiction in the past, and even gone to rehab himself.

He might have locked up Dad of the Year, though, with the last braggadocious line of his angry tweet. Mic drop? Nice touch.

Kim Kardashian West is giving fans who visit her first-ever pop-up store more than just a chance to buy her KKW products ... she's giving them a chance to hang out with her too.

Kim's pop-up will open Wednesday at the Westfield Century City mall in L.A. and will carry products from both her KKW Beauty and KKW Fragrance lines. We're told there's an added bonus for those who visit in the first week ... a chance to attend a private event with Kim and her makeup artist, Mario Dedivanovic.

The shop is hosting a raffle from which 50 names will be picked ... and winners will get to bring a guest to the event at the end of the month to celebrate with Kim and Mario. The best part? Fans can still enter without having to buy a single thing.

What relationship issues?!

Khloe Kardashian and her baby daddy, Tristan Thompson, looked very much together Monday night -- partying together all over L.A. ... on a parents' night out.

Just days after moving back from Cleveland, Khloe and the Cavs star started their night at Nobu in Malibu together ... before moving over to The Peppermint Club, where they hooked up with Kendall Jenner and Ben Simmons.

Kendall and Ben ducked out after that while the rest of the gang headed over to Poppy -- where they partied until 2 AM.

Forget what you thought you knew about Kobe Bryant ... there is no Kobe, or Mamba ... because KB gave us a glimpse of who he has become ...

AND, HIS NAME IS DADZILLA!!

Kobe was seen out in France carrying his littlest daughter, Bianka Bella ... and the pythons jumping out of his torso made it clear that the age of DADZILLA is upon us.

BTW -- we didn't jump to this declaration easily ... this is the second time we've seen DADZILLA. The first time being a trip to Disneyland where the former mortal man looked more jacked than normal.

Now, we know it wasn't a one-off ... but the dawn of a new era.

Paris Hilton made it clear ... she can't stand Lindsay Lohan, and her former friend is persona non grata at Paris' upcoming wedding.

We got Paris Monday at LAX, and she made it clear ... certain feuds are dead and buried while others are very much alive and well. She had nothing but praise for Kim Kardashian, who Paris calls a miracle worker for getting Alice Johnson sprung from prison.

Paris claims she has a life compass which draws her to people who enrich her life and keeps her from those who live in darkness ... it's abundantly clear where Lindsay fits in.

Chadwick Boseman got an award for playing a super hero on the big screen, but he couldn't accept the award without acknowledging a real-life hero just several feet away from him. Enter James Shaw Jr.

The "Black Panther" star won the Movie award for Best Hero Monday at the 2018 MTV Movie & TV Awards ... and he thanked the fans for making 'BP' a monumental success. But then something incredibly special happened ... so, get ready for goosebumps.

Watch the clip ... Chadwick turned the spotlight -- rightfully so -- on Shaw ... who heroically wrestled an AR-15 from a gunman at a Waffle House in Tennessee back in April.

XXXTentacion was putting the finishing touches on his dream home when he was shot and killed Monday ... something that was supposed to be a crowning moment of achievement.

XXX plunked down $1.4 million in November on the Parkland, Florida mansion located 15 minutes from the shooting. The nearly 6,000 square foot home has 4 bedrooms, 5 bathrooms, and a pool on more than an acre of land.

Neighbors tell us construction crews had been working to complete the project, installing a security fence on the perimeter. XXX moved in recently and neighbors say he was quiet, but friendly.

TMZ broke the story, XXX was gunned down Monday in what the Broward County Sheriff's Office says appears to be an attempted robbery as he left a local motorcycle store.

Anwar Hadid clearly has a type, because he was necking someone who looks so much like his last hookup, Kendall Jenner, it warrants a double take.

Her name's Sonia Ben Ammar and she's also a model. The two cuddled up outside Poppy, which was the place to be Monday night. Kendall's sisters, Khloe and Kourtney, were at the WeHo hot spot too, but no sign of Kendall ... more on that in a second.

Kendall and Anwar hooked up in NYC earlier this month at a fashion after-party. It apparently wasn't anything serious and didn't cause any bad blood between Anwar's sisters, Gigi and Bella.

As for Kendall ... she didn't crash Poppy Monday night, which likely had something to do with Anwar being there. Her and her on-off beau, Ben Simmons, were nearby at The Peppermint Club.

Hard to tell who moves quicker here, but Anwar couldn't keep his hands off his new girl, even though she seemed to have something else on her mind.

Jay-Z and Beyonce dropping their surprise album the day after Nas released his, has many fans thinking the legendary Jay-Nas beef is back, but this won't be a throwback to 2001 ... TMZ has learned.

Sources close to Nas tell us the Queensbridge rapper isn't fuming about "Everything Is Love" being released on Saturday, and doesn't think the Carters will steal any thunder from his new album, "Nasir." We're told Nas fully appreciates the fact Jay and Bey are hip-hop royalty at this point, and actually really likes their new record.

If you don't know, and you should, Nas and Jay had a huge feud going in the late '90s and early 2000s. They went at each other in songs and interviews for years before burying the whole thing in 2005.

They've been friends ever since, and we're told Nas is more interested in "black excellence" these days ... rather than drama.

Sorry, Internet. See Tekashi69 or Bhad Bhabie if you're looking for smoke this week.

Khloe Kardashian was smiling from ear to ear leaving Kanye West's office building and who wouldn't be after scoring a pair of Yeezy 350s!

As we previously reported, Khloe and her baby True are back in LA. It's unclear if Tristan Thompson's with them. He hasn't been seen with her since the playoffs, and it appears Khloe decided to spend the NBA off-season close to family, instead of in Cleveland.

Rob Kardashian pays Blac Chyna child support, and she flat-out lied on social media just to ruin his Father's Day ... according to sources close to Rob.

For those who missed it ... Chyna dissed both her baby daddys on her Instagram Story Sunday in a message that read: "wow Tyga and Rob ... no child support BOSS BITCH ALL 201[8]."

We're told Rob thinks it was just Chyna trying to ruin his Father's Day and egg him on to go after her ... something he's prohibited from doing, according to their custody agreement -- they made an agreement to keep all the negative stuff off social media.

For the most part, there hasn't been a lot of drama between the two recently. We're told Rob pays child support, but wants it drastically lowered because he's not making any money and the $20k a month no longer has a correlation to his ability to pay.

As for their daughter, Dream, we're told Rob never skips a visit.
