Philadelphia rapper LGP QUA was shot and killed on Sunday, leaving numbness across the hip hop community ... the local MC was actually a peace advocate!!!

Snoop Dogg posted a somber eulogy on Instagram of him and LGP QUA on Monday evening after getting the news, which followed Meek Mill's disgust in his hometown that they would kill such a positive figure on Mother's Day.

Fox29 spoke to law enforcement sources from the scene who say 3 masked men approached LGP QUA in hopes of snatching his gold chains -- and he was shot in the chest as a result of the botched robbery. He later died at a nearby hospital.

Boosie Badazz is letting it be known to his millions of followers that he doesn't agree with the Feds' evidence being thrown at Diddy in his sex trafficking case ... and says Cassie was a willing participant!!!

Ahead of Cassie's testimony on Tuesday, Boosie argued that charges against Diddy should be simply domestic violence, but he firmly believes everything was mutual.

Diddy and Cassie dated for over a decade and Boosie says there's no way she was a victim but more so an enthusiast ... "Im pretty sure she came during those freak offs😏it was a lifestyle ‼️this was consensual she was his girlfriend. Trying to give someone life n prison for this is bulls***!!!"

One of Sean "Diddy" Combs' freak-off videos -- showing himself and Cassie Ventura -- will be played in court, despite the objections of Cassie's attorney.

Prosecutors and Diddy's attorneys went back and forth with Judge Arun Subramanian Tuesday morning about how the video would be played in court.

Cassie and Diddy's defense team don't want the audio or video getting out to the public, so prosecutors proposed it only be played for jurors, who will wear headphones. People seated in the gallery, including reporters, would not be able to see or hear the video.

Cassie’s making her way to court today, about to testify in Diddy’s trial -- the first time they’ll lay eyes on each other since 2018.

The pregnant singer -- who's clearly ready to pop with baby No. 3 -- departed from an NYC residence and kept her face stoic, but she definitely came to slay -- rocking a power camel-colored coat, a brown turtleneck, shades, and boots as she strutted out to the car waiting for her.

Cassie was clearly all business and ready to take the witness stand today. Her attorney, Douglas Wigdor, made that crystal clear when we caught up with him Monday outside the Manhattan federal courthouse where Diddy’s trial is going down.

Kim Kardashian was a combo of business and smiles as she arrived at a Paris courthouse Tuesday to testify against the 10 people accused of tying up and robbing her at gunpoint of more than $10 million worth of jewelry nearly a decade ago.

The reality star rolled up in a black van with her mom, Kris, to the courthouse in the French capital Tuesday afternoon for her big day on the witness stand. After the two stepped out of the vehicle, Kim flashed a grin and waved at supporters gathered outside the building.

For her day in court, Kim was dressed in a black suit jacket with a matching skirt and Alaia sunglasses. She was also rocking plenty of jewelry -- earrings, a large diamond necklace and a huge ring -- which is a middle finger to the people who allegedly stole from her.

Sports Illustrated just announced its four cover models for the 2025 edition of the iconic swimsuit magazine ... and 58-year-old actress Salma Hayek and superstar gymnasts Livvy Dunne and Jordan Chiles lead the charge!!

S.I. Swim editor MJ Day dropped the big news just minutes ago ... revealing Hayek, the social media sensation, Olympic gold medalist and model/entrepreneur Lauren Chan earned the honor for perfectly embodying what the brand is all about.

"These women are why we do what we do," Day said. "These stories we share here and on our platforms are about so much more than what meets the eye. They are about the power of authenticity, the strength of vulnerability and the beauty of living a life that’s unapologetically yours."

During each quarter, the actor - who's also a Knicks superfan — was all about rooting on his team, jumping out of his seat at one point and clapping wildly after a Knicks player sank a basket.

Joe Biden’s physical decline got so real, aides reportedly considered rolling him out in a wheelchair if he defeated Trump in last year's presidential election.

In the book "Original Sin," co-written by CNN’s Jake Tapper, behind-the-scenes chats reveal just how far Biden’s team was ready to go to hide 82-year-old Joe’s decline -- which was evident in his stiff, slowed walk.

However, according to Tapper and coauthor Alex Thompson of Axios, aides admitted wheeling Biden around during the campaign was a political no-go, so that idea was shelved until after the election.
