Young Thug Brings T.I. 'Outta Retirement' As They Reunite After Jail Release

Young Thug is looking to make up for lost time after being released from jail and appears to have something cooking with T.I.

After spending two and a half years behind bars, the Atlanta rapper was freed last week after accepting a plea deal in his YSL RICO case, the longest-running trial in Georgia state history (and surely one of its most turbulent).

Thug, who has just begun serving a lengthy 15-year probation term, seems to be getting right back to business as he reunited with one-time mentor T.I. on Monday night (November 4).

In a video shared on Instagram by the Grand Hustle general, the pair can be seen hanging out together and flashing big smiles to the camera as Thugger teases a comeback.

Young Thug's Dad Upset At Rapper's Jail Release Conditions: 'I'm Totally Against That'

He was asked if he resided in Metro Atlanta, and when he responded in the affirmative, he was asked about one of the stipulations, which bars Thug from the city.

Williams Sr. added: “I’m totally against that, because this is where he’s from. To have a district attorney take that away from him … To see her take the man away from where he’s from, to have to go live somewhere else, that’s offensive to me. I’m really offended by that.”



Gucci Mane Accused Of Domestic Violence & Theft By Ex-GF: 'I'm Coming For What's Mine'

Gucci Mane has been accused of domestic violence and theft by ex-girlfriend Mac Bre-Z.

Mac, who also worked with Gucci and was previously signed to him, made the accusations in an Instagram post on Monday (November 4), further claiming that she was not properly credited for her contributions to his songs.

“You loved collaborating with me on your albums & mixtapes. But I would love to get paid for my writing credits,” she wrote alongside a throwback photo of them together.

“They say you changed for the better. So Why haven’t you done the right thing & just compensate me for everything I’m entitled to? Everybody eating off these records but me.”

She added: “I never did a tell all & exposed any stories about your personal life over the 6 years we were together. When you punched me in the face I could’ve snitched & had you arrested while you were on bond for the murder case of Jeezy artist.

“I never bad-mouthed you in the media or tried to assassinate your character.”

Mac Bre-Z went on to suggest that she would purse legal action against Guwop: “Enough is Enough. Times Up. I’m coming for what’s rightfully mine. Respectfully.”

Gucci Mane has yet to respond to his former girlfriend’s accusations.

Drake Beefs With DeMar DeRozan At Raptors Game, Appears To Call Him 'P***y

Drake made his feelings toward DeMar DeRozan crystal clear on Saturday ... targeting the former Toronto Raptor in an apparent retaliation for appearing in Kendrick Lamar's "Not Like Us" music video.

DeRozan's Sacramento Kings were in Toronto to play against the Raptors ... and, despite suiting up for Drake's beloved team from 2009 to 2018, the 6ix God gave him far from a warm welcome.

The night began on a high note with the Raptors' jersey retirement ceremony for Vince Carter ... but when Drake was asked on the TSN broadcast if DeRozan should have his jersey in the rafters, too, he threw some serious shade.

"If you ever put up a DeRozan banner, I’ll go up there and pull it down myself," Drake said. "He gon' have a long way to climb to take it down," DeRozan said. "Tell him good luck."

Elon Musk Goes After Jennifer Lopez for Not Warning People About Diddy

Elon Musk went in hard on Jennifer Lopez ... saying it's rich she's warning people about Donald Trump but was mum about ex-boyfriend Sean "Diddy" Combs for all these years.

Musk appeared on Joe Rogan's podcast and did not mince words ... "J Lo was like his ex-girlfriend and it's like now deciding she's like warning people against Trump. How many people did she warn against Diddy, right? Oh zero, ok. Maybe we shouldn't trust her."

Musk then doubled down, saying, "People in the music entertainment industry had to know that Diddy was like abusing, you know, kids basically and yet they still fed him kids. Like where's the accountability? They had to know."

J Lo hasn't addressed the various Diddy allegations, even after lawsuits and the indictment were filed. Someone asked her about it recently but she ignored the question and walked away.



Kim Porter's Best Friend Denies New Diddy Witness's Claim Kim Wrote Manuscript

A new witness in the Diddy criminal case says he has a manuscript belonging to Diddy's late girlfriend, Kim Porter ... but her best friend tells us Kim never tried to write a book.

Lawanda Lane, Kim's best friend and the caregiver of Kim and Diddy's twin daughters, tells TMZ ... she was best friends with Kim for 30 years, including 20 years living under the same roof, and there was never a manuscript written by Kim.

Kim's BFF tells us she was with Kim every day and Kim never wrote anything down ... and she says the family doesn't know who new Diddy witness Courtney Burgess is, even though the guy claims he's one of Kim's former associates.

As we reported ... Courtney testified before a New York grand jury last week ... and he also claims he has sex tapes showing celebrities getting down at Diddy parties.

There was a purported Kim Porter memoir on Amazon earlier this year, but it was pulled after her daughters denounced it and cast doubt on its authenticity ... but now Courtney claims he has her manuscript.

Kim's bestie says the guy is mistaken though ... she says she was in charge of going through Kim's belongings and distributing them to family and friends after Kim died, and if anyone would have found a manuscript it would have been her ... and there wasn't one.

But, Courtney's lawyer, Ariel Mitchell, tells TMZ ... he obtained the manuscript on a flash drive and it's since been turned over to federal investigators in the Diddy case.

Sounds like it will be up to the feds to decide if this is all legit or not.

His label, Warner Records, hosted a screening in downtown Los Angeles last week ... which was attended by Amber Rose, Dreezy, Kayla Nicole, Skilla Baby, Lay Bankz, and Bia, in addition to several costars.

The newly minted filmmaker co-directed the bit with hip hop video vet Ben Marc, and they didn't even bother with a script ... Wayne, Sukihana, Ray Vaughn, Relly B, Yaisel LM and several more improvised their parts!!!
