Bianca Censori's looking like a whole new woman -- it just takes a lap dance to finally see her grinning, relaxing and thoroughly enjoying an afternoon outing with Kanye West in Miami.

Of course, Bianca's been her husband's muse ... serving as a blank and expressionless canvas for his artistic creativity -- no matter how bizarre -- which is why this video of her cutting loose Sunday is so interesting.

With Ye distracted by others, the Aussie model focused her attention on DJ Sky High Baby ... who got to work twerking in Bianca's lap -- and as you can see, she was totally diggin' it.

The stone-cold Bianca we're used to seeing was long gone, as she encouraged her friend's erotic moves. Good thing Mrs. West was dressed for the occasion, in an eye-popping sheer get-up.

She's also vibed along to the music blasting at Dukunoo Jamaican Kitchen -- the same spot where Kanye played some of his new music from his upcoming album with Ty Dolla $ign.

It's a rare light-hearted, carefree sighting of Bianca ... who's trekked around the world with Kanye this year -- although, his critics think he's treated her more like an accessory during their travels.

Case in point, the couple drew the gaze of onlookers while hitting up Art Basel the same day ... with Bianca in her skintight, sheer outfit and teddy-in-hand.

North West stole the show at Kanye West and Ty Dolla $ign's "Vultures" listening party by making her rapping debut, and the moment was serious bonding time for Ye's family!!!

Monday night in Miami, Kanye and his Rap Avengers assembled to preview the album and North had the crowd going crazy with her bars ... "It's your bestie, Ms. Miss Westy!!!"

Outside the event, Bianca carried Chicago as Saint trailed close by -- Ye and Bianca have been married about a year now, and the kids have clearly warmed up to her!

Kanye kept on his hooded garb while his 10-year-old had the audience inside Wynwood Marketplace in the palm of her hands.

The listening event was also a sanctuary for a couple of other embattled rap stars -- Offset, fresh from his split with Cardi B and Kodak Black, who was just released from jail, were also there soaking up vibes.

Beyoncé might have fresh beef stewing with a famous artist, who's strongly insinuating she -- or someone on her team -- ripped off his work for her "Renaissance" tour.

Here's the deal ... artist Hajime Sorayama just took aim at Beyoncé on social media, posting a few of her tour visuals alongside some of his artwork and insinuating she didn't ask permission to copy him.

In his post, Hajime says ... "Yo @beyonce You should have asked me 'officially' so that I could make much better work for you as like my man @theweeknd."

Thing is ... during Beyonce's wildly popular "Renaissance" tour, many people were under the belief her visuals were inspired by Hajime, with tons of folks assuming Hajime had given Queen B his permission to channel his art.

Hajime's post seems to indicate that's not the case -- however, it's unclear if he's angry and considering legal action ... or simply calling out the similarities between his art and her tour.

BTW, Hajime mentions The Weeknd because they collaborated in the past for some concert artwork, and, obviously, he feels he could've done the same for Beyoncé ... had she just asked.

The Wilson family just got bigger ... 'cause Ciara and Russell Wilson have welcomed their new baby girl into the world -- revealing her name is Amora Princess!

The Denver Broncos quarterback and the singer announced on their social media pages their daughter arrived on Monday ... sharing an adorable photo of the newborn.

"Amora Princess Wilson," the couple said in a caption on the IG post. "9lbs 1oz. We Love You so much!"

Their friends -- and millions of fans -- were stoked by the wonderful news ... with Serena Williams writing in the comment section on the post, "Omg i love her already."

Ciara -- who married Russell in 2016 -- broke the news that she was expecting back in August ... showing off her baby bump in a video while dancing to her hit single with Chris Brown, "How We Roll."

This is Ciara and Russ' third child together ... she had their daughter, Sienna Princess, in 2017 and their son, Win Harrison, in 2020.

Ciara also has a son from her previous relationship with rapper Future.

2 Chainz is out of the hospital and recovering just fine ... after he was involved in a 3-car crash in Miami over the weekend.

Sources close to the rapper tell TMZ he was released hours after being rushed to the hospital early Saturday morning ... docs checked him out following the accident.

We're told he was just a bit banged up ... and luckily managed to dodge any major injuries.

2 Chainz was initially in Miami for Art Basel ... but we're told he's happy to be out of the hospital and home now, and is prioritizing rest before the holidays.

TMZ broke the story, confirming a crash involving 3 vehicles and the rapper in Miami. The "Birthday Song' rapper also shared a vid of himself in an ambulance being taken to the hospital to get checked out.

As for who was at fault, 2 Chainz was in the clear ... with cops suspecting one of the other drivers of driving under the influence when they hit the rapper from behind.

2 Chainz posted a few pics of the scene, showing the extensive impact of the crash, with another car heavily mangled on the front left side.

Cardi B is a single woman once again, ending things with her estranged husband, Offset ... breaking the news days after she unfollowed him on social media and talked about losing "dead weight."

Cardi went live on Instagram to set the record straight Sunday night -- telling fans she's been single "for a minute now" ... admitting she wasn't sure how to share the bombshell piece of info.

Cardi went on to say she's been wanting to fill folks in for some time -- and as recently as last week -- but says she wants to start the new year "fresh" and "open."

The news might not come as a shock to some ... as we reported, Cardi and Offset unfollowed each other sometime last week, and she posted a message about outgrowing relationships -- adding, "I GOTTA PUT MYSELF FIRST!"

She also told her fans she wants to drop all "dead weight" in her life in 2024 ... another shot at Offset.

The 2 got married back in 2017, but she filed for divorce in 2020 due to cheating allegations ... but she eventually withdrew. They've also got 2 kids together -- 5-year-old Kulture and 2-year-old Wave.

Offset alluded to the idea earlier this year that Cardi might've cheated on him, which she denied ... but that sparked a bit of an online battle between them, until they eventually made up.

Rich the Kid was arrested Sunday night for defying law enforcement during a bomb threat ... law enforcement sources tell TMZ.

The rapper was in Miami Beach for Art Basel when police responded to a bomb threat at the SLS Hotel in South Beach, where he was apparently staying.

Cops established a perimeter with police tape so no one could enter the premises while it was being checked out.

Rich the Kid told cops he needed to get inside his hotel room, but he was told it couldn't happen until they concluded the sweep, and they warned him he'd be arrested if he continued to do so.

According to cops, Rich responded, "I'll bond out in 20 minutes." He then walked to another corner of the property where he was confronted by security and told he could not enter. According to cops, Rich defiantly told security, "Stop me," and then proceeded to jump the fence onto the property.

Once inside the hotel, he encountered a K-9 unit and the officer ordered him to leave the property but Rich refused, lingering in the driveway. He was then taken into custody and to the cop shop.

Kanye West is making the most of his return to U.S. soil ... surprising the hell out of a crowd in Miami, where he showed up for an unannounced nightclub performance.

Ye popped up at LIV Miami's "LIV on Sunday" show, jumping on the mic during DJ Khaled's set -- running some of his hits like "Runaway" and "Can't Tell Me Nothing."

The crowd was rappin' along with Kanye, so it's safe to say they were thrilled to see the artist at the club.

That same day, he gave folks at a nearby Jamaican restaurant a big treat by rapping to "Father Stretch My Hands" along with fellow diners while eating with his wife, Bianca Censori.

As we reported, the Jamaican spot was the same place where he showed off some of his new tracks over the weekend -- which includes the song he's been teasing that features a Backstreet Boys sample ... part of his upcoming album with Ty Dolla $ign.

Of course, the listening party and surprise concert come after he and Bianca dropped jaws at Art Basel ... with Bianca wearing a see-through outfit while they took their time looking at all the artwork.

BTW ... Mrs. West arrived at LIV Sunday night in an equally revealing outfit. Stuffed animal accessories seem to be her thing now.

Ye's certainly back in the limelight ... and a year after his antisemitic remarks landed him in incredibly hot water -- and as you'll recall, his new song, "Vultures," leans into that very controversy.

Adam22 is putting Joe Budden on blast for saying his marriage to Lena the Plug was a sham ... and he's doing it by calling out Joe's own past relationships.

We got Adam and Lena outside their No Jumper Store Friday on Melrose, and he says the chatter from Joe is pretty ironic ... and he's got a bold reason why.

ICYMI, Joe claimed on his podcast that Adam's on a downward spiral and is doing a lot to stay relevant, citing letting Lena sleep with different dudes as an example ... he even thought the 2 might just have an arrangement going on.

Adam and Lena say that's far from the truth, and really do a lot of normal things as a couple -- not to mention they have a kid, and freakin' live together, too.

Now, on the less traditional front ... Adam and Lena just wrapped their reality competition show, "For the Love of Lena," which had multiple guys vying to have a threesome with Lena and Adam ... and that unique trophy went to adult film star Lil D.

3:16 PM PT -- Looks like Kanye was out there playing new music during his Miami outing ... including that new Backstreet Boys-sampled song he's been teasing this past week.

A fair amount of the track was played during what appears to be an impromptu listening event out at Art Basel ... and it sure sounds pretty catchy. We know Ye's got this new album he's been working on lately, and from the looks of it -- he may be close to done.

Kanye West and his wife, Bianca Censori, are back in America -- and they hit up Art Basel together this weekend, where BC was showing off her assets ... with a see-through getup.

The couple was spotted strolling around casually Sunday at one of the art galleries on display in Miami right now -- taking their time to check out the artwork and maintaining somewhat of a low profile, it seems ... which you can see in this video, obtained by TMZ.

Check it out ... Ye's got his whole head covered up like he usually does these days, and Bianca was in as revealing of an outfit as we've seen her in over these past several months.

Indeed, it looks like her breasts were on full display ... nipples out and everything. Of course, she didn't have a care in the world about it -- and nobody around them appeared to bat an eyelash either. Like we said, it's almost as if most of the folks here didn't recognize them.

Anyway, eyewitnesses tell us it was just Ye and Bianca rolling with a few security guards -- no larger entourage from the looks of it. We're also told it didn't appear that they spoke to anyone ... not even each other as they walked around.

Couple takeaways ... for one, Ye's back in the States, which is interesting considering he's been away from a long, long time now -- be it in Europe or the Middle East. Also, Bianca's also very clearly back in his orbit ... this after being out of the picture for a hot minute.

Just like old times ... eh, Ye?

Blueface claims Offset slept with Chrisean Rock -- something she seems to be denying ... and which he's most certainly calling BS on ... this amid his latest issues with Cardi B.

The rapper made the allegation online Sunday amid his ongoing feud with Chrisean ... with the latest hurdle between them now being about their child together -- which Blue just announced the other day was not, in fact, his after he allegedly got confirmation.

On the heels of that drama, Blue tweeted out ... "Being tatted ona hoe is not a flex you literally f****d cardi B husband couple weeks ago I’m tired of n****s looking at me while they f*****g you get the rest of em gone asap please."

It looks like Chrisean is tweeting back at Blueface right now and saying it ain't true, to which Blue responded with specific dates and times ... "So you ain’t f*** cardi husband November 10th at 4am at their house in LA…I’m making this up ?"

Welp, Offset chimed in on the back and forth ... and he's saying yeah, Blue is making it up.

Offset wrote in direct response to one of Blueface's tweets, "I ain't never  talk or touch that lady. Real talk man you need some help!" To that, Blueface appears to have replied and said this ... "If the truth tears you down you living a shameful life and I feel bad for you cuz I ain’t never gone lie on my d*** if I hit it ima admit it on SY."

As for Chrisean -- who's been feuding a lot with Blueface lately, especially pertaining to her baby boy -- she threw out her own accusations at him ... including claims that she'd seen Blueface's Internet search history of late and saw some gay porn results, which he denied. She, of course, also denied his Offset claim, saying ... "U just crashing out making up s***."

Now what's interesting about Blueface's accusation here is the fact that Offset and Cardi do, in fact, appear to be going through more difficulties -- as she's been cryptically implying she's over him ... seemingly referring to him as "dead weight" and straight up unfollowing him.

She hasn't clarified what exactly the problem is ... but considering his history of alleged infidelity, something tells us it might be about that -- especially with this latest development.

Rapper Quando Rondo was arrested Friday on federal drug charges ... TMZ has confirmed.

The Savannah rapper was taken into custody Friday without incident. Cops say Quando was a passenger in a car that was pulled over. The vehicle was pulled over with the intention of arresting Quando and not because of a traffic violation. None of the other occupants in the car were taken into custody.

Quando -- real name Tyquian Terrel Bowman -- was indicted back in June along with 18 others on state gang and drug charges. He's accused of violating the Street Gang Terrorism and Prevention Act over his involvement with the Rollin' 60s street gang.

Drake public declaration a Turks & Caicos bartender named Flacka is his new ting ... has not only made her an overnight celebrity, it also has her place of employment reaping major financial gains!

Phillip Misick, manager of the Noah's Ark beach club where Flacka works tells TMZ Hip Hop ... the viral videos of Drake and Flacka have increased food and drinks sales drastically -- so much, he hasn't had time to accurately quantify the increase.

Drake and his dogs hit T&C this week for some fun in the sun, reuniting him with Flacka and the megastar rapper gave her bartending skills his undivided attention ... that is, before wining and dining her later that evening!!!

Phillip says customers have indeed been coming in the hopes of seeing Drake, but they also want to meet and take flicks with Flacka -- and, of course, they're very curious if she and Drake are really an item.

As a result, Phillip says Flacka has now become a hot commodity -- brands have started reaching out to her for partnerships, and her social media is blowing up with new fans.

Flacka is actually an assistant manager at Noah's Ark -- so, she does more than bartending -- and Phillip fears her newfound fame might soon push her toward new opportunities.

Kid Capri thinks it's time for Taylor Swift and Kim Kardashian to end their feud, but not in a grand face-off for public consumption -- instead, he says settling scores behind closed doors is the way to go.

We caught the "World Famous" DJ out in NYC this week shortly after we broke the news Kim still hasn't made nice with TS after the 2016 phone convo between Kanye and Taylor -- the one Kim recorded to make it seem like Taylor was cool with the infamous "Famous" lyrics about her.

Kid Capri looks fondly back at his times hanging with the Kardashians -- he deejayed Khloé Kardashian and Lamar Odom's wedding back in '09 -- but says right and wrong aren't equals and KK should do the right thing like a Spike Lee joint.

Despite the tensions, KC says it would behoove Kim and Taylor to cut out all media -- social included -- from their talks, so a genuine breakthrough can be had.

BTW, he's not excusing Kanye from his role in all this, especially if he never actually got Taylor's green light to include the racy line where calls her a "bitch."

Taylor said the fallout from the secretly recorded phone call made her move to a "foreign country" and mistrust almost everyone around her.

Leonardo DiCaprio can be buttoned-up Mr. Environment one minute, and Hollywood's favorite party boy the next -- a feat he proved yet again this weekend at Art Basel in Miami.

The actor was on hand yet again Friday for a huge bash in the Magic City, where Wayne and Cynthia Boich hosted a gaggle of stars at their private mansion ... including Leo and his girlfriend, Vittoria Ceretti, who enjoyed a smoke next to her man at one point in the evening.

Leo was in party mode, rocking his signature black ball cap and blowing out whatever he was puffin' on -- with Vittoria hitting her vape. Quite the change from how he looked Thursday night, when he was front and center for a speech at an environmental event.

The Re:Wild get-together where Leo talked featured him in eco mode ... where he was as polished as can be and looking real sharp. 24 hours later, he's letting it all hang out!

Anyway, the mansion party on Friday was a who's-who of stars ... Tom Brady was there, but so was Sean Penn -- who actually hugged it out with Leo at one point -- as seen here in a photo obtained by TMZ.

Sean was mingling with folks inside as well ... fresh on the heels of a performance by Snoop Dogg, who'd performed for the rich and famous crowd not long before. Speaking of SD ... he was also chitchatting in the crowd after doing his thing on the mic, which was awesome.

Snoop performed a few of his songs ... and he definitely had everybody dancing along.

It's just the latest Art Basel stop for Leo, who's been in town since earlier this week. Something tells us we're gonna be seeing a lot more of him through Sunday too.

8:46 AM PT -- A rep for Florida Highway Patrol confirmed there was a crash involving three vehicles -- a Mercedes, Nissan and Toyota -- that occurred in Miami.

While there were no fatalities, police said at least one adult male was transported to a local hospital, but his condition was not disclosed, nor was his identity.

2 Chainz was rushed to a hospital early Saturday morning after he was hit by a car in Miami ... TMZ has learned.

The rapper was driving on I-95 and about to exit when we're told by informed sources a car hit his vehicle. We're told cops suspect the other driver may have been driving under the influence.

It appears 2 Chainz was hit from behind because the damage to the car was on the front left driver's side -- and the damage is extensive, meaning the force of the crash was intense.

2 Chainz just posted this vid of him in an ambulance on his way to the hospital.

We're told he suffered neck injuries and possibly other injuries as well, but that he's in stable condition in the hospital.

He had left a strip club called Booby Trap, a hot Miami strip club, shortly before the crash. He was in Miami for Art Basel.
