Lizzo's got summer on her mind in her first IG post of 2026 ... showing off her weight loss in a tiny bikini and form-fitting bodysuit!

Check out her latest thirst trap on Instagram -- the "Truth Hurts" hitmaker is flaunting her curves in a teeny white 'kini seemingly from her YITTY line while posing for the camera. In a second pic, she covers up in a curve-hugging, colorful one-piece that fits her body like a glove.

She references Alabama Barker's viral "nasty" TikTok sound in her caption, penning ... "YITTY & a Pucci fit… nastyyyyy 😜." It may be a new year, but it's the same Lizzo feelin' "Good as Hell!"

Collaborating together since 2010, Chris Brown and Tyga recently hit the Lakers game court-side, but do think you've got the skills to track down the changes in these two swaggy snaps?!

Tyga wrapped rapped up in some icy chains -- with his sleeves exposed -- and Chris paired his baggy pants with a hat and shades!

One half of the Island Boys got locked up right before the new year started ... and now we have a better idea why.

TMZ broke the news ... Franky Venegas was arrested again in Florida for alleged drug-related offenses and is currently behind bars.

According to a sheriff's report we just obtained ... Franky and his female companion were pulled over for a routine traffic stop ... and were allegedly acting super suspicious.

Ice Spice turned 26 and turned up -- maybe a little too much -- during her birthday celebrations.

TMZ has obtained footage of the "In Ha Mood" rapper getting a much needed helping hand as she attempted to leave her party Wednesday night at PHD Rooftop Lounge in NYC on her own power, she's first stopped by someone who urges her to head back inside and try again.

In a visibly inebriated haze, Ice takes a moment to process the instructions before eventually complying.

G Herbo and his longtime partner, Taina Williams, are leveling up for 2026 ... they got engaged over New Year's Eve!

The 31-year-old rapper shared the sweet moment in an Instagram story, showing him getting down on one knee to ask the mother of his youngest children to marry him while at Brooklyn Chop House Miami.

Family and friends gathered around the couple with bated breath awaiting Taina's response ... which of course was, yes!

Brooklyn Beckham didn't let the Beckham family feud put a damper on his New Year's Eve ... instead, he rang in 2026 front and center at a South Florida ultra club with wife Nicola Peltz, partying as 50 Cent took over the club at midnight.

A witness tells TMZ ... the couple, whose absence from David Beckham's end of year Instagram post has fueled new buzz on the family drama, were attached at the hip, singing along to every lyric and dancing in their section at E11EVEN as the clock struck 12.

Despite efforts to keep things low key they stood out in the packed club, appearing completely unfazed by the ongoing family tension.

There's more than just the new year to celebrate on January 1st ... turns out it's Ice Spice's birthday, too!

We know some of you might be all partied out, but for the real ones out there who know how to rally, we've got a little somethin'-somethin' ready to go for you -- a gallery of Ice's hottest shots!

Fivio Foreign didn't enjoy most of 2025 due to being in jail for the bulk of the year ... but the NYC rap star is ensuring that his 2026 will be sweeter -- by checking into rehab!!!

Wednesday, the "Big Drip" rapper made an Instagram PSA for his fans, introducing a woman he labeled his "wife" and their infant son to the picture ... while crediting them, his team and even his probation officer for pushing him to seek professional help.

We broke the story back in March after we discovered that Fivio had been locked up shortly after a New Year's Eve incident where he pulled a gun on a woman.

A growing number of people want Nicki Minaj booted from the USA after her highlighted appearance at Erika Kirk's Turning Point USA event ... and the charge might have been started by one of the rapper's diehard fans!!!

Shortly before the ball drops for 2026 on Wednesday, the Change.org petition to "Deport Nicki Minaj to Trinidad" surpassed 70,000 signatures ... fans really dislike how she has become Nicki MAGAJ.

Earlier in the year, Nicki also waged a public war with Jay-Z and all things Roc Nation, and the petition suggests that Nicki did it out of lunacy and is a danger to American soil.

50 Cent will be a very busy man going into 2026 tonight ... with not one but THREE New Year's Eve gigs!!!

The "In Da Club" rapper will be appearing as part of Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve with Ryan Seacrest and Rita Ora via a pre-taped performance.

It's a fitting look for 50 ... he's closing out 2025 as New York's top-streamed rapper on YouTube ... for the 3rd straight year!!!

Remy Ma has big things popping in the new year ... including adding talk show host to her resume!!!

TMZ Hip Hop caught up with the "Conceited" rapper in NYC this week, where she humbly bragged about bossing up with her Remy Network -- and being a one-woman show when it comes to spoiling her 7-year-old daughter.

Remy just hosted a McDonald's-themed birthday party for her little mini-me ... amid her ongoing rough divorce with rapper Papoose.

Despite their rift, Remy tells us things, such as party-planning and spending Christmas together, are smooth sailing ... because all Pap has to do is show up!!!

Yung Gravy openly admits he turned pain into profit ... when he decided to make an investment call at the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic on 1-800-Flowers!!!

In a Financial Flex TikTok interview, the rapper said he made a prediction about the popular flower company's stock once he realized the coronavirus was a real thing, anticipating the wave of death -- and funerals -- that would follow ... and he ended up making $400K on it.

As grim as his trading POV may be, Gravy was indeed ahead of the curve.

Candace Wakefield might be a five-time Grammy winner ... but, it seems we've discovered her real hidden talent -- hosting the TMZ Brunch Tour!

The singer -- who has appeared on songs with Kendrick Lamar and other top artists -- hosted our final Brunch Bus Tour of 2025 ... and, by all accounts, she was one of the most electric hosts we've had.

Check out the clip ... Wakefield turns the bus into a moving concert venue by belting out two of her hit songs -- "Fly Free" and "Pray For Me" -- while riders wave their hands in the air like they just don't care.

French Montana welcomed Max B home from his lengthy prison bid a few weeks ago, and the dynamic duo already has their sights set on a 2026 takeover!!!

Harlem's finest caught up with TMZ Hip Hop on Tuesday ... this past Christmas was Max's first one home since being sentenced for aggravated robbery 16 years ago ... but every day is a holiday for the "Silver Surfer!!!"

Renowned NYC-area jeweler Avianne is the reason Max is staying icy in the winter without getting frostbite ... with a million dollars' worth of bling on!!!

Blueface is looking for new surroundings in the new year ... the rapper put his Los Angeles-area mansion on the market earlier this week -- for a cool $1,250,000!

Real estate sources tell TMZ ... Blueface is giving the future buyer a jump start on the luxurious life tucked in the quiet Pleasantville of a Santa Clarita Valley neighborhood ... the 4,303-square-foot joint encompasses 5 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms and a back yard.

The two-level pad has been the scene of numerous Blueface viral moments and live streams over the years ... the place was built in 2018.

Cardi B is urging fans to check themselves as they hound her over her relationship with Stefon Diggs -- telling them to quit being "mean" as she navigates parenthood with him and prepares for her upcoming tour.

Check out her lengthy social media video from Monday night -- she lays it out plain and simple for her haters, noting ... "I can’t change sh*t. I can’t go back in time. I already had a baby."

She hilariously continues ... "Y’all want me to put my baby back in my p***y? Huh? I don't know what y'all want me to do. Y'all want me to leave my man and f*** yours?"
