Nipsey Hussle Gunfire Erupts at Rapper's Famous Clothing Store

Published | Updated

Nipsey Hussle's L.A. clothing store was the backdrop for fighting and gunfire Friday.

Eyewitnesses tell TMZ 2 customers got into an all-out brawl in the parking lot. One of them was getting beaten up pretty badly, and that guy decided to even the playing field he'd pull out his gun and fire shots in the air ... which he did.

The beater got the message and fled.

Cops were called to the Crenshaw-area store and found blood in the parking lot. When they went inside the 3 employees refused to talk.

Nipsey was not at the store, which has become quite the thing in the area ... super popular.

Nipsey was in NYC at the Diamond Ball.

Cops want to review surveillance video, but it's unclear if the people who own the cam are willing to fork it over.

No one was taken into custody and so far ... no suspects.

Floyd Mayweather Watch Me Party with Manny ... And Watch Me Beat Him Up Again

Published | Updated

Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao have decided to put in another night's work ... a night that will produce a 9-figure payday.

Floyd says he and Manny will have a rematch later this year, saying, "I'm coming back to fight Manny Pacquiao this year another 9 figure pay day on the way."

It's not like Floyd needs the cash ... he made around $220 mil from his 2015 fight against Manny. Money Mayweather added to his 401k to the tune of $275 mil with his Conor McGregor fight last year.

Floyd's 50-0 and it sure seemed like the stat was right for hanging up the gloves, but $$$ is $$$.

The video (above) was shot Saturday at a Tokyo concert ... where Floyd and Manny are together.

Kinda funny ... they clearly don't hate each other, but are willing to beat the living daylights out of each other for a price ... and the price is right.

The first time around, Floyd won in a unanimous decision. Most people called the fight boring.

HAPPY WIFE, HAPPY LIFE

Larry King thinks Julie Chen Moonves was not only right to stand by her man ... he sang her praises for doing so -- literally.

We got Larry and wife Shawn Friday night in Bev Hills leaving Madeo, and Larry said he's known Les for many many years, and what the former CBS honcho did 2 decades ago was horrible. Nevertheless, he thinks Julie's loyalty is appropriate.

Larry then put Shawn on the spot and asked what she would do. Shawn uncomfortably did some math, and ultimately came out on Julie's side.

To button it up ... Larry gave us a rousing rendition -- well, more like a rendition -- of a famous country song.

Kanye & Tekashi69 Old School Meets New School ... Collab Coming?

Published | Updated

Kanye West and Tekashi69 teamed up in South America to riff off each other, record some music and discuss future projects.

We're told Ye flew down to Colombia Tuesday to spend time with 6ix9ine ... the plan being for the 41-year-old and the 22-year-old rappers to come up with ways to bridge the gap between hip-hop generations.

Our sources say they spent hours in the studio recording together, but they also dished out some advice to one another. We're told Kanye gave Tekashi industry and business tips ... and he gave Yeezy insights on how the Internet is changing the rap game.

Our sources say the energy between the 2 was off the charts ... they both learned a lot from each other. No word yet if they plan to release any new tracks from their powwow, but if they do ... it'll be hard to top Kanye's new single with another hot young rapper -- Lil Pump.

As we reported ... 6ix9ine got some new chompers while he was in Colombia too. He then flew overseas for a show in Moscow, where he got bum-rushed on stage ... before his crew gave the guy an old-school beatdown.

FLY AWAY, CANARY ALVAREZ

Hulk Hogan is weighing in on the Gennady Golvkin vs. Canelo Alvarez fight -- telling TMZ Sports his guy GGG is gonna beat on Canelo so badly, he'll turn him into "Canary" Alvarez.

"His feathers are gonna be flyin' and he's gonna be looking for some bird seed to try to get back on his feet, brother!"

We played the clip for Gennady -- and he loved it ... calling Hulk a legend and hoping he can turn Hogan's prediction into a reality.

The two finally get in the ring on Saturday night in Las Vegas. Gennady's camp is adamant Canelo is a cheater who purposely took a performance-enhancing drug.

In fact, GGG's trainer, Abel Sanchez, says Canelo's excuse that he unknowingly consumed tainted Mexican beef (and that's why he tested positive for Clenbuterol) is complete B.S.

Abel told us ... Canelo's nickname should be CCC -- "Canelo Con Carne."

For his part, Canelo has vigorously denied the allegations -- and vows to shut down all the haters on Saturday night.

Tamar Braxton's Ex Hospitalized With Gout ... Tamar Won't Visit

Published | Updated

Tamar Braxton's relationship with her estranged husband is apparently so far gone ... she won't even visit him in the hospital.

We're told Vincent Herbert is hospitalized with gout in his elbow -- SUPER PAINFUL -- and Tamar has no plans to lift his spirits with a visit.

Vincent has been in the hospital since Thursday, but she's been radio silent. We're told he and Tamar aren't talking anymore.

Tamar filed for divorce in 2017 after nearly 9 years of marriage.

Florence Nightingale ... clearly not her favorite character.

Get well soon, Vince.

'Siesta Key' Star Brandon Gomes In Violent 3-Car Crash

CRASH AFTERMATH

"Dude, You Crashed My Car" would be a great sequel to "Dude, Where's My Car?" ... and it would probably be based on the hijinks of Brandon Gomes from "Siesta Key" ... whose car was WRECKED after letting his buddy behind the wheel.

The violent crash went down Thursday night in Sarasota, Florida ... after former 'Siesta' costar Carson Wall ran a red light in a 2007 Cadillac ... triggering a 3-car crash. According to a police report ... the Cadi belongs to Brandon, but Carson was the one behind the wheel.

Carson told cops the light was yellow when he entered the intersection, but drivers in the 2 other vehicles -- a 2017 Audi and 2008 Toyota truck -- all said they squarely had the green.

The impact was so violent it ricocheted the Cadi into the Toyota, which caused the Cadi to crash into a signal pole before striking a wall.

Cops say Carson -- who injured his left arm -- was at fault. He was cited for failure to stop at a red signal. "Dude, Where's My Uber?" as part 3?

NO BEEF WITH THE KING

LeBron James finally unblocked his new Lakers teammate, JaVale McGee, on Instagram this week ... so, when we saw JM at LAX, we had to ask ... WHY!?

Turns out, the whole thing dates back 5 years ... but JaVale tells TMZ Sports he's not sure if there's a specific incident that caused Bron to cut off access.

So, where was JaVale in 2013? He was playing for the Nuggets, and we can't seem to find any reports of an incident between the 2 guys.

The good news ... the unblocking seems to be an olive branch and JaVale says he and LeBron are getting along great now.

In fact, JaVale says he's confident the team has a real shot at an NBA title -- but notes, "Not gonna be easy of course. Hard work."

There's more ... we also asked about Shaq -- who's been pretty critical of JaVale in the past.

Now that JM's a Laker, will things finally be cool between the guys?

Stay tuned ...

Mel B, Stephen Belafonte Point for Mel in Custody Battle ... Drug Tests Come Back Clean

Published | Updated

Mel B agreed to submit to random drug testing to prove she's a fit parent, and so far ... it looks like a good decision.

Mel was tested for drugs and alcohol 3 times recently -- on September 6, 7 and 10 -- and the results were negative for all of them ... according to new legal docs obtained by TMZ.

To be clear ... the results show she tested negative for everything -- alcohol, marijuana, cocaine and addictive painkillers.

We broke the story ... the Spice Girl agreed to submit to the testing for a limited time as part of her ongoing custody battle with Stephen Belafonte. This came after a member of their household staff accused her of being an alcoholic and a sex addict who's unfit to retain custody of their kids.

Mel strongly denied the accusations, and now has test results to back her up ... at least pertaining to the alcoholic claims.

As part of their last settlement, Mel B also agreed to submit to a child custody evaluation with psychological testing. In new legal docs, Belafonte proposed a list of custody evaluators.

As we reported, Mel says she's getting treatment for PTSD for her long and bitter divorce battle with Stephen. Clearly ... it ain't over yet.

Get ready for your "awwwwww" jaw to drop ... because Kim Kardashian West's latest Instagram pic is pretty dang cute.

Kim shared a photo of all 3 of the Kardashian family baby girls -- her daughter Chi on the left, Khloe's daughter True in the middle, and Kylie's daughter Stormi on the right -- sitting on a soft, fuzzy carpet together looking up at ... something that caught all their attention.

Kim captioned it "The Triplets" with heart emojis ... and also tagged her sisters in the pic.

If you're keeping track, Chicago is 8 months old ... True is 5 months ... and Stormi is 7 and a half. No word why Stormi's the only one wearing shoes.

Justin And Hailey Not Married Yet ... But Maybe Next Week

1:47 PM PT -- Hailey Baldwin has just shot down other media reports claiming she and Justin already got married, saying, "I understand where the speculation is coming from, but I'm not married yet!" The story below that TMZ broke stands.

And check out this pic ... no wedding band!

Justin Bieber and Hailey Baldwin are getting married as early as next week -- most likely out of the country -- in a super small ceremony ... TMZ has learned.

TMZ broke the story ... Justin and Hailey showed up at the courthouse in NYC Thursday and beelined it for the Marriage Bureau. They were taken to the executive offices for VIP treatment and Justin was seen crying and telling Hailey, "I can't wait to marry you, baby."

Apparently, that's true because sources connected with the couple say they will tie the knot soon -- as early as next week ... and we're hearing it may happen in Canada.

TMZ also broke the story a while back ... Justin and Hailey planned to marry next year but they have had a big change of heart. We're told they will still have a blowout party next year, but they don't want to wait that long to seal the deal.

As for the obvious question ... sources tell us, "100% she's not pregnant."

As for marrying in Canada, we reported they were heard saying at the Marriage Bureau that they were traveling out of the country. You'll recall, Justin just bought a massive estate in Ontario, Canada. One source said that's the likely spot for the "I dos."

Congrats, kids!!!

Katt Williams Claims Tiffany Haddish Is Only Famous 'Cause She Bangs White Guys

Published | Updated

Tiffany Haddish ain't s**t as a comedian ... is what Katt Williams is claiming after going on one of his patented rants, bashing her rise to success.

Katt joined V-103's 'Frank and Wanda' Friday and went nuclear on a bunch of comedians including Kevin Hart, Jerrod Carmichael and Hannibal Buress. But, he seemed to direct his most lethal shots at the "Girls Trip" star ... saying she's a stand-up hack.

Katt said Tiffany got famous off someone else's writing ... and ANYONE would have earned critical acclaim reading the "Girls Trip" script, which Katt claims he saw way back in 2004.

He added ... Tiffany's been in comedy since she was 16, but claims no one knows her jokes. Then there's this -- "She ain't done a tour yet. She ain't done a special. She has not proven the ability to tell jokes back-to-back for an hour to nobody."

For the record, Tiff has had specials and has a deal to do another for Netflix.

So, what's the secret to her success? According to Katt, it's just 2 words: Brad. Pitt. Watch ... he claims Tiffany's just playing the white card.

Harsh stuff. We'll see if Tiff fires back.
