Gunna has been running the hip hop game all year and running the exercise circuit with his Wunna Run Club ... which infused its movement with the science-tech products of Cymbiotika during Art Basel 2025!!!

The superstar rapper led a pre-race warm-up last week at the Fontainebleau Miami Beach in part of the Target Wellness Tour, which led participants onto a 5K course that sported immersive art installations that touted the brand's bioengineered focus.

Grey/Ven CEO Scott Weissman opened up his home to host the fashion company's third annual Miami Art Week Bash ... and we're told that the star-studded event raised $20K so far to aid some of the Palisades/Malibu wildfire's toughest first responders!!!

We're hearing the party was well-attended and lasted until 4 AM ... Cuba Gooding Jr., Lil Pump, designer Ugo Mozie, and crypto czar Michael Terpin were just a handful of the who's who on the guest list.

Weissman posted up for a flick with super producer Scott Storch and DJ Brooke Brazelton, who spun on the turntables alongside Willy Monfret.

Busta Rhymes' energy was so soured after being labeled "Tracy Morgan" by a trolling content creator, he walked down and cursed out the next guy who approached him for a tense confrontation!!!

As you recall, yesterday, we shared a video of Busta giving a young lad a serious tongue-lashing outside an Art Basel event in Miami, which another content creator -- GTV Reality -- witnessed.

GTV's footage unfolds with Busta sending the TikToker -- who called him Tracy Morgan -- on his merry way, and shows him then scolding another autograph seeker for calling him the N-word.

"Love & Hip Hop Atlanta" star Erica Breaux found herself behind bars in Georgia after she was caught with drugs ... in a stolen car!

A rep for Brookhaven PD tells TMZ ... Breaux, also known as rapper Erica Banks, was a passenger in a vehicle that was pulled over Monday in Brookhaven, GA, after a police officer noticed a tinted tag covering the license plate. In Georgia, it's against the law to have material affixed to a license plate that covers any portion of it.

The officer also noticed the vehicle had dealer plates, which should only be driven by a dealer employee and registered for sale. What's more, the officer ran the plates and learned the vehicle was marked as stolen from Atlanta.

Kendrick Lamar's debut album "good kid, m.A.A.d city" has been on the Billboard 200 for well OVER 10 years, and that's in spite of the album's intended first music video being locked up in the vault forever!!!

On the inaugural episode of "The 3rd Verse Podcast" with Stat Quo, DJ Mormile, & Justin Hunte, the trio discusses the long-lost music video for Kendrick and Dr. Dre's "The Recipe" video, which was shot sometime before the album came out but was passed over for the eventual lead and hit single, "Swimming Pools (Drank)."

DJ Mormile was working at Interscope at the time and says he, Anthony “Top Dawg” Tiffith, and the rest of Top Dawg Entertainment were gravitating towards 'Swimming Pools' ...  but the expensive budget and rollout had already been laid out for "The Recipe" to lead the charge.

Feel like reading today’s news in skimpy lingerie? Go for it -- but fair warning, you’re probably not gonna look anywhere near as smokin' hot as Daphne Joy pulling it off!

Check out these pics ... Diddy’s ex is serving full bombshell energy, flaunting her amazing curves and perfect booty in a tiny two-piece while "reading the news" on the floor.

But c’mon ... the only breaking news here is Daphne and she's so stunning she'll give you a heart attack if you look too long. But hey, we all have to go some time and what better way than looking at Daphne.

By the way ... Daphne offered her fans a second treat, dropping some sizzling videos of herself modeling in her bikini ... Daphne's seen arching, planking and tugging at those tiny bikini straps -- and she nearly experienced a wardrobe malfunction more than once. Close call!

Tekashi 6ix9ine already knows what he'll be up to after he serves his 3-month prison sentence next year ... because a judge also ordered him to 12 months of supervised release with some pretty strict conditions.

According to court papers, obtained by TMZ, the rapper's supervised release will include a mental health treatment program focused on anger management and an outpatient drug treatment program.

Last week, 6ix9ine told us he wasn't worried about doing his prison bid -- set to start January 6 -- because he plans on using the time to get in shape.

A$AP Mob co-founder A$AP Bari was involved in an all-out, no-holds-barred, royal rumble last night ... and authorities are still trying to find out what caused the clash!!!

A rep for the Miami Beach PD tells TMZ Hip Hop ... cops received a call from security guards for a "large fight" at Hotel Faena just after midnight Sunday ... judging from the footage, the call was correct.

The fight appeared to contain about a dozen men -- and one of them got Bari good as the video unfolded by grabbing him by the collarbone and throwing him in the bushes!!!

Busta Rhymes went from fun-loving rapper to the fire-breathing dungeon dragon when a content creator called him Tracy Morgan to get a rise out of him -- and succeeded!!!

TMZ Hip Hop obtained video from last night in Miami during the Art Basel festivities when Busta thought he was entering a friendly photo-op ... only to be "confused" for the "30 Rock" star.

Busta did not find the joke amusing, and you can see his attitude shift from calm to crabby in a matter of seconds as the kid's fellow social media creator, Funny Salesman, looked on helplessly in the background.

Rapper POORSTACY took his own life in a Florida motel room in front of his baby mama and toddler last month ... and TMZ has now obtained new photos of the eerie scene.

The pics were taken by a source who was staying in a room adjacent to POORSTACY at the Boca By the Sea Hotel on the day the rapper killed himself.

In the photos, you can see the outside of the building cordoned off with yellow tape. Children's plush toys lie strewn on the lawn outside the door as an officer stands nearby, appearing to take notes.

Kanye West and Bianca Censori are traveling the world together again ... with fans catching them arriving in South Korea early Saturday morning.

The husband and wife duo landed at Incheon International Airport just outside of Seoul around 6 AM local time ... and, while they were almost certainly exhausted from the overnight flight, Ye stopped to sign a few John Hancocks for fans.

Check out the clip ... West doesn't speak, but he quickly scrawls his name on a few different items before walking off with his better half and their security.

Blueface's features may have taken on a purple glow after he let Ryan Garcia punch him ... because he was having some trouble breathing in a wild new vid.

The boxer livestreamed his hang with the rapper Friday night ... and, just 15 minutes into the stream, the duo engaged in an age-old guy tradition -- one dude punching another as hard as possible.

Blueface asked if Garcia wanted to throw a haymaker at him ... and Garcia accepted -- though BF wore protective gear over his stomach to lessen the blow.

Klay Thompson might be having a slow start to his season, but it's by no means due to his love life -- so says Isaiah Thomas, who tells TMZ Sports the outside noise means nothing to a Hall of Famer like the Mavericks hooper.

Klay's averaging just 11 points on 37% shooting so far in his second season in Dallas ... career lows in both categories.

Some folks think the slump could be due to his high-profile relationship with Megan Thee Stallion (we're looking at you, Jason Williams) ... but I.T. says there's simply no way.

2:04 PM PT -- Tekashi 6ix9ine tells TMZ Hip Hop he isn't worried about his looming 3-month prison sentence come January ... he'll be confined away from the madness and will use the solitary to get in shape!!!

We caught up with 6ix9ine following the judge's verdict and he says the sentence was fair, feeling that the judge got to hear all the facts he and his legal team presented.

Tekashi has to report back on January 6, but suspects he'll be housed in a secure unit because of his "snitch" status!!!

50 Cent reminded everyone he's still a legendary rapper at Miami Art Week -- as the supreme guest at Hublot's 20th anniversary to celebrate 20 years of its Big Bang watch!!!

The star-studded gala sported attendees such as Diplo, Ty Dolla $ign, Swae Lee, Tyriq Withers, Khalid, Leon Bridges, and Sofi Tukker and went down at the Basement at The Miami Beach EDITION.

Mattia Vitale of MEDUZA also performed to close out the night.

DJ Quik's son, David Marvin Blake Jr., has been convicted of second-degree murder, stemming from a 2022 incident that left a man dead in a Los Angeles suburb.

According to the Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office, Blake Jr. was found guilty of one count of second-degree murder and one count of shooting from a motor vehicle.

Prosecutors say he is now facing up to 40 years in prison.
