Megan Thee Stallion's sexual harassment lawsuit filed by a former cameraman is going forward ... much to the approval of Nicki Minaj, who's calling the whole thing Karma -- yes, with a capital "K."

Last week, a judge ruled Megan and Roc Nation couldn't drop the case after the cameraman supplied enough facts to keep the ball rolling ... prompting a snarky response from Nicki.

"What was the name of that law again???????? Karma’s Law?" Nicki wrote in a subliminal jab to the "Megan's Law" line Thee Stallion used in her Nicki diss track, "Hiss" last year.

Tupac Shakur's protégé Young Noble died by suicide with a gunshot to the head on the morning of July 4 ... TMZ Hip Hop has confirmed. The Outlawz rapper's wife told police at the scene he had been battling significant depression.

According to police records, obtained by TMZ Hip Hop, Gwinnett County officers responded to a 911 call at 9 AM on Independence Day after someone claimed to have seen a man lying dead in the pool of a country club in Snellville, a distant suburb of Atlanta.

Police say they saw a man in tan cargo shorts and a black T-shirt sunken at the bottom of the pool with what appeared to be a gunshot wound to the right side of his head.

Here's the verdict sheet returned by jurors in Sean "Diddy" Combs' federal criminal trial ... and you can see the check marks for "Not Guilty" on the sex trafficking and racketeering charges.

Jurors reached their verdict Wednesday morning last week after a couple days of deliberations ... and they acquitted Diddy on one count of racketeering conspiracy, one count of sex trafficking of Casandra Ventura and one count of sex trafficking of "Jane."

The 12-member jury -- 8 men and 4 women -- only checked "Guilty" on counts 3 and 5 ... which are both transportation for the purpose of prostitution, AKA the Mann Act.

Cardi B was living on a prayer at her latest Paris Fashion Week appearance ... because she showed up looking like a nun -- or a sperm cell -- depending on who you ask.

Check out Cardi's outfit for the Stéphane Rolland Haute-Couture Fall/Winter 2025-26 collection show Tuesday at the Théâtre des Champs-Élysées ... it's something else.

The "Bodak Yellow" rapper wore a white gown that made her look like a nun ... but the rest of her outfit gave off a different vibe entirely.

TikTok star Bryce Hall is making the move into the Hollywood big leagues with his first theatrical film release ... a moment he says 50 Cent tried to hold hostage -- to no avail!!!

We caught up with Bryce outside Sweet Butter Kitchen in L.A. on Monday, and he was stoked for the release this week of horror flick "Skillhouse" ... staking his claim as "First TikToker With a Feature Film."

Watch the clip -- Bryce says he hopes to see A-list movie stars "doing the dances on the red carpet" at his premiere, after he's gone to a bunch of theirs in the past.

Bianca Censori is back at it -- Bianca-ing like only she can, with a scorching IG drop that’s less photo dump, more thirst trap masterpiece.

The pics are snapped by hubby Ye himself -- and while there’s no full-on nudity, make no mistake, the flesh factor is high. Case in point: a dangerously low-cut white bodysuit putting her very generous assets front and center.

The Aussie bombshell is deep in her blonde girl era -- rocking an icy wig and striking pose after pose like it’s her full-time job.

Dwight Howard's wife, Amber Rose Howard, has filed for divorce ... just six months after she tied the knot with the ex-NBA superstar.

Court documents, obtained by TMZ Sports, show the rapper and reality star -- known widely as Amy Luciani -- requested the split from the basketball player at a Georgia courthouse on July 1.

Amber wrote in the docs "The marriage is irretrievably broken," adding, "there are no prospects for reconciliation."

Diddy's legal team is touting their huge victory at the federal criminal trial last week ... while blasting the latest lawsuit against the mogul, claiming he doused a man with his semen after masturbating into a Notorious B.I.G. shirt.

Attorneys for Diddy have now responded to the suit filed Monday by the John Doe plaintiff, who accuses Diddy of ejaculating into the garment and tossing it at him, causing semen to splash on his lap and arm.

The suit comes just days after Diddy was acquitted of racketeering and sex trafficking charges at his federal criminal trial in NYC -- though he was convicted of the lesser charges of transportation to engage in prostitution.

Janet Jackson and Maxwell might have a little "Sumthin' Sumthin'" going on ... 'cause they turned heads when they arrived hand-in-hand at the 1,500th performance of "Cabaret At The Kit Kat Club" Monday evening in London!

Check out the photos -- they're beaming as they arrive at the famed Playhouse Theatre to view the show ... and they're certainly not trying to hide their PDA.

Just look at Janet ... she's grinning ear to ear and fully confident as she steps out with Maxwell in a white wide-legged pantsuit and slicked back hair. The "Ascension (Don't Ever Wonder)" singer compliments her beautifully in a pinstriped suit and looks happy to be by her side.

Diddy masturbated into a shirt from the late Notorious B.I.G.'s wardrobe, ejaculated on the garment, and then threw it on another man's lap and arm ... getting semen all over the guy ... at least according to a new lawsuit.

The music mogul is being sued by a John Doe who alleges a bunch of sexually deviant dealings with Diddy over the years.

In the lawsuit, obtained by TMZ, the guy claims around September 2020 he was in a listening session with Diddy for a Biggie Smalls project when he says Diddy pressured him to take ketamine. He claims they went to a warehouse in Los Angeles where Biggie's clothes were in storage and Diddy provided drugs to everyone present. He says folks were running around the warehouse tripping on drugs.

Cardi B, Dua Lipa, Karol G and several more celebs understood the assignment going into a “Back to the Future”-themed fashion show in Paris ... in digs that looked like a gala from "The Jetsons"!!!

The assignment was actually centered inside the famed Petit Palais art museum for Schiaparelli’s Fall/Winter 2025-26 Haute Couture show, by Daniel Roseberry.

Cardi wasn't joined by her NFL beau Stefon Diggs -- she may have already cut him loose -- but still donned shoulder pads big enough to stop a blitz in a stark black gown covered in a quilted fringe.

Soulja Boy woke up to some heartbreaking news ... some heartless saps broke into his beloved SODMG flagship store in L.A., and TMZ Hip Hop has the ghastly aftermath -- of the $25K worth of damages!!!

See our footage from the scene for yourself ... disrespectful thieves went straight through the front door of Soulja's store -- without a key, leaving mounds of broken glass on the ground on Melrose.

The store's boarded up for the day ... and adding insult to injury, there's already a fresh coat of graffiti on the entrance door.

Cardi B and Stefon Diggs may have run into a snag in their relationship 'cause Cardi has hit the ol' "delete" button on her boyfriend!

The rapper took to Instagram over the weekend and erased all of her photos with the New England Patriots wide receiver, which is never a good sign.

You may recall, just last month, the two went Instagram official weeks ago and the couple seemed to be in their honeymoon phase.

Diddy was feeling the love when he had to go back to prison after a jury acquitted him on three of his five federal charges ... 'cause the cell block gave him a round of applause, his lawyer swears.

Marc Agnifilo spoke with the Associated Press this weekend ... and, he told the outlet Diddy got a hero's welcome back at the federal prison where he's in custody.

Agnifilo claims the inmates "all said: ‘We never get to see anyone who beats the government" -- but, Diddy landed a win in his case ... and, it seems his fellow inmates reveled in it with him.

Young Noble -- a rapper who worked closely with Tupac Shakur -- has died by suicide ... TMZ has learned.

Sources familiar with the situation tell TMZ Hip Hop ... Noble -- born Rufus Lee Cooper III -- died in Atlanta Friday morning.

Our sources say he died from a gunshot wound that appears self-inflicted at this time. We've reached out to local authorities for more information.

An alternate juror in the Diddy case says all the evidence about baby oil didn't help the prosecution's case in the end, but he thinks the point was to paint the defendant as a hard-core criminal freak.

George -- he asked us not to use his last name -- was not in the jury deliberation room, but he was front and center for every second of the trial. He noted the defense mocked prosecutors over the baby oil evidence, with Marc Agnifilo sarcastically telling jurors their streets were safer after the feds spent all that time and money seizing 1,000 bottles of baby oil.

As for the freak-off videos, that may have backfired for prosecutors. George says everything he saw -- from Cassie and "Jane" rubbing baby oil over a sex worker to hardcore sex -- looked consensual.
