A bloody pig head on a spike was found by Los Angeles Police officers outside of the department’s Rampart Station, a division notorious for its late-90s corruption and police brutality scandals. It is currently unclear who placed the head at the station or if it was intended as a threat. 

The Pig’s head discovery comes amidst large-scale global protests against police brutality and George Floyd’s death. While Derek Chauvin and the other Minneapolis officers involved have been fired and charged, protesters are demanding further reforms to law enforcement practices and the American criminal justice system, as Floyd’s family is seeing a surge of financial support and lawmakers are proposing new legislation aimed at eliminating police brutality. 

Given the high tensions surrounding recent protests and numerous documentedincidents of police violence, the LAPD is reportedly approaching the situation extra cautiously, currently reviewing surveillance footage in an attempt to identify the perpetrator. In the meantime, TMZ reports that LAPD officers, under the direction of Chief Michel Moore who recently blamed George Floyd’s death on looters leading to calls for his resignation, have now been advised to maintain a low profile while off duty, in order to avoid further confrontations with the public.

This quarantine has forced many people to adjust to the mask-wearing new normal that has swept the world, but on the surface, G Herbo seems to be dealing with things quite nicely. We’ve seen him enjoying time with his girlfriend Taina Williams as they share TikTok videos with each other and post photos on social media, but Herbo chatted with TMZ to share that he’s been a tad heartbroken because he hasn’t been able to see his two-year-old son in two months.

The PTSD rapper spoke with the outlet vis FaceTime and said that his ex, Ari Fletcher, lives in Atlanta and has been taking care of their son Yosohn. “Pretty much a lot of video calls and FaceTimes,” G Herbo said. “I’m actually gonna try, since things are dying down, a little bit on my end I’ve been able to come home and get my house together. I was on tour before this, my tour actually got canceled because of the coronavirus so I haven’t been home in months, so I’m able to come home and get my house together and disinfect everything so hopefully, I can try to go out and get him soon.”

If it takes for Herbo to rent a private plane to get to his son, he’s prepared to do just that. “I’m definitely working on trying to get him,” he addded. “He’s growing. Time doesn’t wait on anyone. A month, two months. That’s a long time to not see your kid.” We hope G Herbo is reunited with his baby boy sooner than later. Watch a clip of his interview below.

“IMAGINE my career was over for snitchin you guys would laugh at me alllllllllllllllllll dayyyyyyyy and cancel me,” he writes in the caption. “BUT if I WIN ya get mad and make excuses ? and scream NOBODY CARESSSSSSS ?? so ima rub this shit in because now it’s MY TURN ???❤️?? I didn’t miss a thing … I saw it all. So who’s gonna hold this L?”

The TMZ crew can be heard implying that 6ix9ine will fall off after having snitched. 

The rapper released his first single after being released from jail, this week. The music video for “GOOBA” amassed over 40 million views in 24 hours.

Saturday, 6ix9nine’s address was leaked online and the artist was forced to pack up and change locations. A neighbor caught him taking Instagram pictures on the back deck of a home in Long Island. She then leaked the address on Twitter. 

6ix9ine has not commented on the news, but opted to post a picture celebrating the success of his new single: “43 MILLION IN 24 Hours *RECORD BREAKING* 2 MILLION VIEWS ON INSTAGRAM LIVE *RECORD BREAKING* It’s only been a day REPOSTTTTTTTTTT LINK IN BIO,” he wrote on Instagram.

Twenty-four hours after news surfaced that Tekashi 6ix9ine was facing a $2.25 million lawsuit from Fashion Nova, more legal troubles are said to await the disgraced rapper. As Tekashi 6ix9ine‘s alleged August release date approaches, it looks like people are coming for their coins. The rapper is currently in federal custody serving out his two-year sentence after turning State’s agent against his former accomplices. The future of his career hangs in the balance, but as his unwavering fans anticipate his freedom, 6ix9ine’s ex-friend has filed a lawsuit against him.

TMZ reports that a man named Shane Hardy has made accusations that Tekashi 6ix9ine, real name Daniel Hernandez, once ordered a hit on his life. Shane reportedly says that he and Hernandez had a disagreement way years ago about the “GUMMO” rapper’s connection with the Nine Trey Bloods. During his trial, Hardy claims his former friend admitted that “he directed Aaron ‘Bat’ Young and Jamel ‘Mel Murda’ Jones to shoot Hardy.”

In January 2018, Hardy was in Brooklyn when Young and Jones allegedly found him and shot at him multiple times. Amazingly, Hardy survived being shot in both the neck and back of the head. He’s suing Hernandez, Young, and Jones for unspecified damages. While Hernandez received a two-year sentence, Young and Jones’s sentences weren’t as short. Young received 20 years behind bars while Jones got 11. Both ended up pleading guilty.

In 2018, Hardy, whose nickname is “Snow Billy,” reportedly conducted an interview with the BBN Network and detailed being shot. You can check that out below.

Superfans often blur the lines between fantasy and reality, and Ariana Grande is the latest celebrity to endure a frightening encounter. The singer reportedly wasn’t home when the obsessed fan made his way to Ariana’s Los Angeles residence, but he was taken into custody when police were called.

According to a report by TMZ, Ariana Grande has a number of security measures in place at her home to ensure her safety. As an international superstar who receives both love and hate mail, the singer and her team take her safety extremely seriously. With so many carefully designed security measures around the home in place, it’s unclear how an obsessed fan was able to make it all the way to her doorstep.

TMZ writes that the man knocked on the door and asked for the singer around 2:00 p.m. The property manager at the site told him that she wasn’t there and sent him on his way. The manager immediately called the police and responding officers reportedly found the man near the location. He was questioned and detained, and while he was being arrested, he allegedly spat on one of the officers. When searched, police found a love letter written to Ariana and directions to her home.

The fan was booked “for misdemeanor trespassing and felony battery.” The latter charge is because of the accusation that he spit on a police officer. This is the second strange incident this month involving Ariana Grande. Weeks ago, someone called police and told them there were shots fired at her residence. Officers were sure that it was just another swatting incident, but they had to respond. Sure enough, the call was fake.

Coronavirus is impacting every aspect of our lives at the moment – yes, that even includes the carnal act of “getting it in.” Thankfully, we have Machine Gun Kelly to break down the dos and don’ts when it comes to hooking up during this worldwide quarantine going down at the moment.

TMZ caught up with Eminem’s enemy while in Studio City recently, and they were able to get him to reveal one of his core tips to the “baby boom” that’s expected to result from everyone having nothing to do while isolated in their homes. In short, MGK simply agreed that we should all just avoid kissing — swapping spit seems to be one of the key ways of spreading the disease — and strictly stick to, well, sticking it! All jokes aside though, we’d highly recommend you guys (and girls!) avoid hooking up with randos overall and just try to limit your list of partners to no more than you can count on one hand. Or, if you want to be all the way safe, just use your hand.

Peep Machine Gun Kelly’s “tool rules” talk with TMZ below, and by all means stay all the way safe out here folks:

Boxing champion Adrien Broner has once again found himself on the wrong side of the law. Last month, Broner was detained by officers outside of the Deontay Wilder & Tyson Fury weigh-in at the MGM Grand Gardens. TMZ reported that Broner was warned that he wasn’t allowed on the property and told to leave, but he allegedly refused.

On Friday (March 13), Broner was reportedly arrested once again in Miami Beach on a DUI charge. TMZ states that it was approximately 8:45 p.m. when police pulled Broner over. According to the officers on the scene, it was clear that the boxer was under the influence so they took him into custody. Broner has been placed on an eight-hour hold and will remain behind bars until his release time of 4:00 a.m. Saturday (March 14) morning. His bail has been set at $1,000.

In addition to these two recent arrests, the 30-year-old professional fighter was also arrested on battery charges back in April 2019. A month prior to that, Broner was cuffed after yelling at police officers in Miami. In December 2018, he was sued by a jeweler for allegedly not paying a $1 million debt, and he was arrested two days before Christmas in 2018 for failing to appear in court after being arrested in 2017 for driving without a license, registration, or insurance.

The fan at the end of DaBaby‘s slap has come forward to share her side of the story. It was at one of the rapper’s shows in Tampa, Florida over the weekend when DaBaby was making his way to the stage through the crowd and was hit in the face with a fan’s phone. His response was to turn and hit the person in the face, but when all was said and done, the person was revealed to be a woman.

DaBaby would later apologize for his actions, but he explained that he didn’t think he was wrong because he was just protecting himself. On Wednesday (March 11), TMZ reported that they spoke with Tyronesha Laws, the slap victim, and she told what happened from her perspective.

“We went upstairs on the stairway to take a picture at the picture booth by the stage,” she said. “I see security saying move, move, move everyone move out the way. I was standing next to a young lady and all of a sudden I turned around and I said to my boyfriend, ‘There go DaBaby, he’s coming through.'” Then, the woman next to her “pulled out her camera” turned on the flash, and tried taking a photo. Tyronesha claims DaBaby slaps her for no reason, sending her to the floor.

“I woke up, my head was hurting really, really bad,” she told the publication. “The top of my right cheekbone, it was hurting like it was tender. So, I did go to the hospital and I was diagnosed with a contusion to my cheekbone.” Tyronesha added that she saw DaBaby’s apology, but she wasn’t happy that he continued to make jokes about the incident.

“I don’t feel like he was sincere with the apology,” Tyronesha added. “I was embarrassed. I had people calling me, writing me on Instagram through fake pages, people seeing me at my job like, ‘You’re the girl that got slapped.’ It’s embarrassing. My daughter wakes up in the middle of the night crying over hearing me on the phone with my lawyer talking about the situation.” Watch Tyronesha Laws detail her experience with DaBaby below.
