Safaree Samuels was screwed from the get-go when he was robbed at gunpoint -- not only did he know one of the alleged assailants, but the dudes were tracking his every move before the hit.

Sources connected to the case tell TMZ ... cops found a GPS device which had been installed on Safaree's car before he was held up at gunpoint in April and robbed in New York. We're told it's unclear when the device was planted, but cops believe it's how the robbers pinpointed Safaree.

Interestingly enough, our sources say this tracking technique is one that's been used by authorities in NYC as of late ... and they even think the perps picked up the trick from them. We're told these GPS devices have been getting used more and more in high-profile stickups.

As we reported ... two suspects have already been arrested in the case, one of whom Safaree knows very well. A third man has also been arrested in connection with the crime.

Fat Joe says he truly believes 50 Cent and Floyd Mayweather are "brothers" and need to end their feud -- but he's not the gonna be the mediator.

Joe is friends with both guys -- and says it's crazy to watch them bash each other so hard on social media.

The latest in the feud ... Floyd says 50 Cent is a "herpes infested rat." 50 says Floyd is a fake rich "sucker" who beats women.

50 also made some dark accusations about Mayweather's alleged role in the murder-suicide of one of his friends.

Enter Fat Joe ... who says he still believes in his heart of hearts that Floyd and 50 love each other -- but believes they need to call a truce.

"I'm tired of being the middle guy," Joe said ... "I'm tired of [being] the guy breaking everything up. I mean, you know, they're brothers, man. I don't like it. I don't like it. Because they're both beautiful guys to me, man."

Despite the hostility, Joe says there may be peace "somewhere down the road."

"I think maybe in the long run, they'll figure it out. I really believe that they sincerely love each other and they're brothers. Unfortunately, this is playing out on social media."

Meanwhile, Fat Joe is killin' it in the studio -- he just released a new track called "Attention" with Chris Brown.

Demi Lovato refused to tell paramedics what drug caused her to overdose, and law enforcement sources say no drugs were seized at her home.

Law enforcement sources say Lovato was not cooperative when EMTs worked on her at her home Tuesday morning. Those sources believed it was a heroin OD based on what they observed at her home, but a source close to Lovato tells us it was not heroin, though the source refused to divulge what caused the OD.

As we first reported, Demi was unconscious when paramedics arrived and she was brought back to consciousness with Narcan, which is used to counter the effects of opioids.

Our law enforcement sources say there is NO criminal investigation, because they did not seize any drugs and can't determine if Demi was in possession of an illegal substance.

Demi Lovato did not OD on heroin ... so says a source connected to the singer.

TMZ broke the story ... law enforcement sources involved in the case told us it was an apparent heroin overdose, but the source close to Demi says no.

The source would not reveal what drug caused her to OD, but as we reported she was given Narcan, which is used to counter the effects of opioids.

Rep. Maxine Waters' Los Angeles office received a package Tuesday labeled "anthrax" and her office has been evacuated ... TMZ has learned.

According to law enforcement sources, a hazmat team is on the scene checking out the package. This comes on the heels of the Congresswoman receiving multiple death threats. Photos from outside Waters' office show multiple emergency vehicles on scene.

Rep. Waters says she's been flooded by threats since she advocated public protests and demonstrations against Trump administration officials -- a la Sarah Huckabee Sanders at the Red Hen. She's also made no bones about it -- she wants President Trump impeached.

Just last week there was a demonstration outside her L.A. office where her supporters burned American flags.

No word yet on whether the package really does contain anthrax or any other dangerous material. LAPD and L.A. Fire Dept. are investigating.

Demi Lovato was scheduled to appear on Tuesday night's episode of "Beat Shazam," but FOX has replaced it following her apparent heroin overdose ... TMZ has learned.

FOX says, "In light of recent reports, we have decided to replace the episode of BEAT SHAZAM with another all-new episode. Our thoughts go out to Demi and her family."

We're told Demi's guest appearance -- with host Jamie Foxx -- was taped back in December. Demi promoted the episode to her 56 million followers on Twitter just a few hours before she was rushed to the hospital.

Additionally, Demi's Thursday night concert in Atlantic City has been canceled.

5:31 PM PT -- Demi's rep tells TMZ, "Demi is awake and with her family who want to express thanks to everytone for the love, prayers and support. Some of the information being reported is incorrect and they respectfully ask for privacy ... "

3:13 PM PT -- Demi's aunt, Kerissa Dunn, posted on social media that Demi is "awake and responsive."

1:48 PM PT -- Paramedics found Demi unconscious when they arrived at her home.

1:28 PM PT -- Law enforcement sources tell us Demi was treated with Narcan -- an emergency treatment for narcotic overdoses -- at her home. We've confirmed the OD occurred at her house in the Hollywood Hills.

Demi was out Monday night celebrating a friend's birthday in West Hollywood, and we're told she posted photos on her private Instagram of herself and others in the group. She seemed happy in the pics.

Demi Lovato was rushed to an L.A. hospital after suffering what appears to be a heroin overdose, law enforcement tells TMZ.

Our sources say Demi was transported by ambulance from a home in the Hollywood Hills just before noon Tuesday, and is currently being treated. We do not know her condition.

Demi has fought substance abuse for years ... at one point she lived in a sober living home after getting released from a treatment center. She had been 6 years sober from alcohol, cocaine and Oxycontin.

Last month she released a song called "Sober" where she revealed she had fallen off the wagon.

Demi just performed on Sunday at the California Mid-State Fair in Paso Robles with Iggy Azalea.

She was scheduled to go on the road this week for an upcoming show in Atlantic City, but our sources say she's been struggling.

Drake and Migos upcoming tour has been delayed more than a week, with several shows getting pushed around.

The tour, "Aubrey & The Three Migos" was supposed to start July 26 in Utah ... but will now begin August 10 in Kansas City, MO. The following tour stops have been adjusted:

St. Paul, MN rescheduled to August 12.

Toronto, ON rescheduled to August 20, 21, 22.

Salt Lake City, UT rescheduled to October 10.

Denver, CO shows on July 28 and 29 postponed, date TBC.

The show scheduled for August 20 in Chicago -- the second stop in the city -- has been canceled.

A tour source tells us the change in schedule does NOT have to do with Offset's recent arrest ... the show's production simply wasn't ready and the artists want fans to get the full experience.

Scary moment for Lamar Odom ... someone pulled a gun and fired multiple shots during an altercation with the NBA star ... TMZ Sports has learned.

Here's what we know ... cops were called to a Hooters restaurant in Queens, NY in the early hours of July 20 after gunshots were fired.

We've learned ... witnesses told police Lamar and his group of friends were leaving the restaurant when they got into a verbal altercation with another group. Part of the argument was captured on surveillance.

One witness told cops a man from the other group pulled out a gun and fired multiple shots into the air -- nobody was hit. That group fled the scene, according to the witness.

Law enforcement sources tell us the NYPD is actively searching for the shooter. So far, no arrests have been made.

Odom is not accused of any wrongdoing -- and we're told he's been cooperating with police.

Lamar's attorney Saam Zangeneh tells us "Lamar did nothing wrong and was not arrested."

Lisa Marie Presley has only herself to blame for her millions of dollars in debt ... so says her ex-manager who is now suing her for $800k he claims she owes him.

Lisa's ex-manager, Barry Siegel, filed new legal docs claiming Lisa twice squandered her father's fortune since she inherited it in 1993. In docs, obtained by TMZ, Barry claims Lisa's excessive spending is what got her into a financial mess and NOT his management of her trust.

What's more ... Barry is suing her to get the $800k he claims she owes him for unpaid work he did before she fired him in March 2016.

As we reported ... Lisa sued Barry back in February claiming she lost $24.5 million after her stock plummeted following an investment into the parent company of "American Idol" ... which went belly-up in 2016.

Jenelle Evans didn't know who the hell she was dealing with in her road rage incident when she whipped out her gun, and she's lucky she didn't get her head blown off ... so says the other driver.

Robert Robinson Jr. -- the guy in the truck in the crazy video with Evans -- tells TMZ ... the "Teen Mom 2" star was the one who started acting crazy on the highway, so he admits he brake-checked her to try and chill her out.

He says once he saw Jenelle pull down his dirt road to follow him home in a rage, he alerted all his neighbors someone was coming -- neighbors who are like family to him ... and are all armed.

Robinson had a gun in his truck too, and tells us he only pulls it out to protect himself ... and shoots to kill. But he says he exercised restraint once he saw she had a kid in the SUV.

The man suing Odell Beckham for an alleged brutal beatdown at the NFL star's home is escalating the war -- now claiming he has proof Odell tried to illegally pay a woman for sex.

But, Odell's team claims it's all BS.

It's all in new court docs filed in California ... in which Ishmael Temple claims he was at Beckham's Beverly Hills home back in January, when the NFL star turned on him and allegedly ordered his employees to beat him up.

Temple claims he suffered major injuries, including broken teeth. He initially sued for $15 mil.

Odell's camp vehemently denied the allegations -- claimed Beckham had no involvement in any violence -- and claimed Beckham was being extorted by a man who filed a frivolous lawsuit.

But, Temple's lawyers have filed new docs -- including an alleged email exchange with Beckham's attorneys -- and it's loaded with new bombshell allegations.

Among them, Temple's attorney claims, "We have evidence of your client offering $1k to sleep with a girl from Arizona visiting L.A. known to my client."

Temple's lawyer also says they have "evidence of drugs of the most prohibited types readily available and consumed at his parties."

In the docs, Temple's lawyer claims he initially offered to drop his case against Beckham for a $225,000 settlement -- but later rescinded that offer. Unclear why.

We reached out to Odell's camp for comment and were told -- "Odell Beckham Jr., through his attorney, denies all of the allegations."

One thing's for sure ... this case is as nasty as it gets, and it doesn't look like it's going away any time soon.

Stormy Daniels' estranged husband went after her in a violent rage 6 months into their marriage, in front of their little girl ... and the alleged attack got him arrested.

Stormy and Glendon Crain, who filed to divorce her last week, got into a heated argument back in July 2015 at their suburban Dallas home, and according to police documents he hurled a large box fan at her. Stormy told cops she managed to dodge the fan, but then Crain shoved her down.

In the docs, Stormy says she went down hard and suffered a rug burn ... and then Crain started punching himself and pulling out his own hair. She told police Crain told her to call police, and added ... he didn't care if he went to jail because he'd hang himself.

All of this went down in front of the couple's 4-year-old daughter. Police say the little girl told the responding officer ... "My daddy pushed momma down."

Crain was arrested for assault causing bodily injury/family violence.

As we reported, Crain got a restraining order against Stormy last week to keep her away from him and their daughter.

The domestic violence charge was eventually dropped in March 2018 because Crain reportedly completed a pretrial rehabilitation program. That was just 2 weeks before Stormy's CNN interview.

Model Karlie Kloss is down for the count ... she's engaged to Jared Kushner's baby brother, Joshua.

The face of Estée Lauder and Adidas announced Tuesday she said "yes a million times over" after Joshua popped the question. The 25-year-old model and the 33-year-old entrepreneur have been dating for around 6 years.

Joshua, of course, broke ranks back in March when he joined hundreds of thousands at the nation's capitol advocating for gun control. Karlie was also at that march. Joshua, whose brother Jared is a Trump senior adviser, also attended the Women's March in January 2017.

Unclear how Karlie and her soon-to-be sister-in-law Ivanka Trump will get along -- especially after Karlie said she voted for Hillary Clinton -- but one thing's for sure ... safe to say Karlie and Joshua won't argue about politics.

Congrats!!
