Lil Wayne's friends and fam are blasting TMZ's report after speaking directly to the YMCMB head honcho/crew.  Find out why Toya Wright, T.I., Reginae Carter and more are calling B.S. on the site's story....

While TMZ reported Friday evening that Lil Wayne was in an induced coma and in critical condition, with family gathering around to say their goodbyes, Wayne's closest people are saying it's all B.S.  And it's because they've spoken to Wayne himself or members of YMCMB.  And if Wayne is speaking at all....he was also likely NOT in a coma just a few hours ago.

Wayne's publicist has already confirmed the "No Worries" rapper did have another seizure, but the rest of the story from TMZ--regarding being on life support and in a coma--is being deemed FALSE by the rapper's closest friends and fam.

T.I. tweeted: Just holla'd @my Lil bruh Tunechi...& he skraight! TMZ some fuck-niggaz for reporting that hoe-ass-shit!!! That man daughter is like mines. That shit surely got his mama hurtin,his kids hurtin,& he got true to da game patnas like me & Othas who ready to RIDE bout all da fuck shit. ... #nowthankitsagamenigga!!!

Wayne's daughter Reginae posted the above pic of herself smiling on Instagram saying:

Don't listen to The Lies , I swear there all lies TMZ you a fool

Her mother, Toya Wright, posted this message blasting the false reports: 

Roc Nation's Jay Sean tweeted:

I jus spoke to some of the ymcmb fam- they say Wayne's gettin better- dont pay too much attention to the media hype!

Mack Maine, one of Wayne's closest friends in Young Money who is at the hospital with him, continued his bashing of the site saying:

@TMZ it's certain shit you should not talk about or play with if u don't kno what u talking bout....don't deceive the fans or the people

@TMZ and definitely don't try to kill a man before his time....so from the bottom of my soul and on behalf of my fam......FUCK YOU

And Hot 97's Funkmaster Flex also says he spoke to Birdman, who re-confirms Weezy is awake and fine.

Still, TMZ is sticking by their story and nothing (aside from their removal of the "last rites" tweet and update) has been changed.  To have two stories so far apart--yet from all credible sources--is pretty odd.

One explanation for the totally conflicting stories is that TMZ received info about Wayne being admitted today, and either exaggerated the story or was fed incorect details by "their source."  Another explanation is that Young Money & friends are covering for the moment. But based off T.I. being ready to "Ride Out" on folks.....

Either way it goes, we're following this story throughout the night.  And we're wishing Wayne a full and speedy recovery.

Justin Timberlake spent a week as Jimmy Fallon's guest on "Late Night". And they busted out another rendition of their popular "History of Rap" mini-performance. Check out the fellas getting their rap medley on inside....

Jimmy & Justin have become known for their double team act of performing what they call the History of Rap.  And this time, with The Roots backing them, they gave us Eminem, Salt-N-Pepa, Trinidad James, Hov, and more.

Jimmy's Slick Rick& Busta are hilar.  Check out the fellas' 4th History of Rap above.

The YMCMB fam is flocking to Cedars-Sinai Hospital to visit their head honcho Lil Wayne.  A somber Drizzy inside....

After reports hit the net last night that Wayne was in critical condition in the ICU after suffering more seizures, rapper Drake was seen leaving Cedars-Sinai Hospital around 8:50pm PT Friday night after visiting his good friend.

As previously reported, the 30-year-old rapper was admitted to the hospital Friday afternoon after one of his bodyguards found him in his room, on the floor and unconscious. 

While Wayne's publicist confirmed another seizure occurred Friday, after he was just released on Wednesday for the same issue, TMZ reported further info that Wayne's prognosis was uncertain, that he's in an induced coma, and people were coming to say their goodbyes.

Wayne's friends and family (and a tweet from Wayne's account) deny those stories and maintain he is recovering.  Ronald “Slim” Williams, co-founder of Cash Money records, called in to Seattle's Eric Powers & Karen Wild radio show yesterday to Wayne is fine and may be released the next day (Saturday).  He was at Lil Wayne's side in the hospital:

Save the drama for ya mama!  And in French Montana's case....for your friend's mama.  Because his manager--who's also Waka Flocka's mom--Deb Antney, is suing the "Pop That" rapper for over $50K.  Find out why inside, and the latest update on why Waka and his bestie Gucci Mane are beefin' over Twitter....

Deb Antney has served her own client French Montana with legal papers. He reportedly received them while walking into an ATL concert venue last night.  She says the Moroccan rapper went behind her back to book gigs, and shorted her out of her 20% commission. 

Deb claims she and French entered into an exclusive contract in November of 2010, which gives her a 20% commission of all paid gigs.  She has reason to believe that French brokered some concert deals in secret, and therefore, according to TMZ, she's owed $50,000.  So she's suing for her ends. 

Folks always seem to be in some drama with Deb--whether they're her clients or not.  Remember her beef with Nicki Minaj when the rapstress nixed her as her manager?  Chick doesn't take kindly to being pushed out or let go.

And that brings to Deb's son and client, Waka Flocka.  As we know, Deb's been managing both Waka and Gucci Mane since their careers took off.  They're like two peas in momager's pod.  But no so fast.

Last night, Waka went on Twitter to publicly diss his good friend Gucci over some Brick Squad label drama.  And the reasons are unknown.

Gucci let the world know HE dropped Waka off the Brick Squad label saying, "Waka flacka flames officially dropped off brick squad 1017. Big Guwop say give me a offer fa this disloyal lil nigga."

Waka responded with, “Somebody tell Gucci Mane 2 SUCK A D**K.”  Then erased the tweet and said, "Can’t tweet beef #HucciKnowHowIrOck"

Miss Info revealed that Gucci's manager said Gucci's Twitter was...you guessed it...HACKED.  Sigh.  Meanwhile, Waka released his mixtape DuFlocka Rant 2 just minutes after this whole Twitbeef went down.  And Gucci dropped his Trap Back 2 mixtape at the same time.  How convenient.

But considering Gucci threatened to change his name a few weeks ago (what celebs often do to get out of contracts), we have to wonder if he's plotting his escape from Deb Antney's management as well.  We all know how she and her son like to pop off when folks try to do their own thing....

BONUS: Gucci is co-starring in the upcoming flick Spring Breakers.  And he hit the carpet at last night's Hollywood premiere with his girlfriend Keyshia Kaoir (formerly Keyshia Dior).  Check the video of their arrival: 

Fantasia is getting back to business after her big beef with JET magazine and a few other public wars with folks.  The singer lit up the Jazz In The Gardens and Women's Impact Conference in Hollywood, Florida last night.  We've got the pics inside...

Yesterday, at the 8th Annual Jazz in the Gardens Press Conference at Pangea at Seminole Hard Rock Hotel, Fantasia popped up in her sequin black dress as she spoke about performing at the festival kicking off today in Hollywood, FL.

She chatted up Mayor Oliver G. Gilbert III and host of the weekend, radio personality Michael Baisden.  Charlie Wilson was also there.

Glad to see her getting back to what she does best.

And over at the Women's Impact conference portion of Jazz In The Gardens, singer Latocha Scott was at Shula's Hotel & Golf Club to promote her new role on "R&B Divas":

And Lisa Wu, former RHOA star, showed up as well.  Wonder how she feels about the ladies on RHOA now?

The stars showed up at last night's Temptation: Confessions of a Marriage Counselor premiere in Atlanta.  We've got stars of the movie Lance Gross and his girlfriend, Kim K., Jurnee Smollett and plenty more in their red carpet best inside....

At the premiere of Tyler Perry's Temptation flick at the AMC Parkway Pointe 15 in ATL last night, star Lance Gross brought his stylist girlfriend Rebecca Jefferson along as his date.  And the couple looked fab as usual.

TheYBF.com was on the red carpet last night and caught up with Lance.  He dished to us why he took on this Tyler Perry film after saying previously he wanted to branch out from the director:

"It was a great script. I was a fan of Jurnee Smollett since Eve's Bayou, I felt like I've grown with her and I also wanted the opportunity to work with her. I also thought it was a great script, working with Tyler Perry is like working with family. So I mean, why not."

And he even gave us his 2 cents about Lil Wayne's health scare saying:

First of all, I think it's very important in times like this to respect the privacy that the artist or whoever wants. But if any of this is true, my prayers are with him, it's in God's hands right now. But I have a feeling he's going to be alright.

 

Star Jurnee Smollett-Bell, who's character is married to Lance Gross' character in the movie, hit the carpet in a purple strapless gown and looked gorge while doing interviews on the carpet. 

On the carpet, Jurnee gave us the low down on her character in the movie:

"My character is a young woman fresh out of college and before she can get her marriage counselor license she takes the only paid internship she can find. She's married to her childhood friend, but unhappy. She meets this guy Harley, played by Robbie Jones, and he starts making her think these thoughts. The film's really about choices and how someone can get in your mind and doubt who you are, make you doubt your lifestyle. And those choices can lead to behavior you never thought you were capable of."

As for her own marriage advice, the actress who married Josiah Bell in 2010, tells TheYBF.com:

"Honesty, communication. You gotta be vulnerable, you gotta be so open, open your chest up and be like 'here's me and all my flaws, if you love me still let's do this'."

And would SHE understand why a woman feels the need to cheat in her marriage?  Jurnee tells us:

"Anything in my life I bring a level of myself to each character I take on. So for me it was hard to imagine what it would be like to cheat on my husband, to go there in my head. I had to interview a lot of people and ask questions. Just to try to understand what it's like. So I had to do a lot research for this character."

 

Jurnee's co-star Robbie Jones snapped a pic of himself on his way to the red carpet event.

Robbie, who previously stared on "One Tree Hill" gave us the deets on how he landed his fiery Temptation role of "Harley":

"It's kind of a fantastically short story. Tyler Perry saw some of my work, saw a film that I did called Hurricane Season and he called me and really wanted me to be apart of the film. So it was kind of quick. How do you say no to Tyler Perry."

And the biggest lesson we'll learn form this flick:

"People are going to learn, if they haven't already, that the grass isn't always greener on the other side. It's all about loving the one you're with. There's a lot to be learned from this film."

Actress Tika Sumpter looked gorgeous as she came out to support in a white dress and flaunted her new short pixie cut.   She's starring in Tyler's new show on OWN called "Haves & Have Nots."

We're pretty sure it's a wig and not an actual chop....but we're loving it!

"RHOA" star CYnthia Bailey hit the carpet of course.

Co-star of the movie, Kim Kardashian, showed up in a long black lace robe custom made by R&M.  Kanye West, her baby's daddy, was also there, but skipped out on the carpet to let her "have her shine" sources reported.  The couple showed up togetehr to director Tyler Perry's afterparty dinner at his home.

Rocsi snapped a pic with her friend Kim.

While rocking sequin pants from Phillip Lim and a blazer by Bod & Christensen, Rocsi revealed to TheYBF.com on the carpet that she's been trying to get into a Tyler Perry film for a while now:

"I've auditioned for Tyler many, many, times. One of these days he's going to say yes. I might have to put something in his drink tonight to corerce him a little bit. Like, 'Tyler! Tyler, let me play that role!.' But, you know I'm looking for other big hosting roles, I'm an entertainment girl, I like news."

Maybe this will be your lucky year Rox.
 

Jasmine Guy popped up on the carpet looking less washed out than usual.

"The New Normal" star and "RHOA" star NeNe Leakes put on a colorful dress as she was back home in ATL for the premiere.

"RHOA" star Kandi Burruss hit the red carpet in yellow with her fiance Todd.

And the director himself, Tyler Perry, made a big arrival as well as he pulled up straight to the carpet.  Nice suit.

Temptation hits theaters March 29th.

Halle's been plagued with box office slumps after she won an Oscar years ago, but things seem to be turning around.

Looks like the cast's full fledged promo run helped out.  Congrats!

All the profits from Saturday's signings were donated to a charity that works with young males serving time in detention centers.

Kijafa posted pics of her all white Alexander McQueen and Louboutin look.

Pamela Smith has now DISMISSED her own paternity case against Michael Jordan.  And while Bow Wow was busy celebrating his birthday in Arizona this weekend, he was ordered by a judge to pay a French pornstar what he owes her.  Deets inside...

In another crazy turn of events, Michael Jordan seems to have dodged a child-like bullet today.  While the drama in this paternity case has been unfolding for several weeks, Pamela Smith, the mother of a 16-year-old boy she claims is the son of the basketball legend, has called it quits!  For now at least.

TMZ reports Pamela submitted a request to dismiss her own case today, and the judge granted it without prejudice.  So she's free to file again. 

We reported last week that MJ's request to dismiss the case was denied by the judge in Fulton County court.  And she then demanded a paternity test be done ASAP.

So with Pamela all of a sudden dismissing this case herself, out of the blue, we have to ask.  Was she paid off once MJ saw that this legal drama could wreck havoc on his image and upcoming marriage?  Or did Pamela just all of a sudden remember who the actual father is?  Or does she plan to re-file in a different location?

We have our guess, but oh wells....

Bow Wow may have spent his weekend celebrating his 26th b-day in Arizona (pictured above with green beer in Phoenix's airport yesterday), but he went back to NYC with some bad news.

That lawsuit filed by French porn star Celine Tran has ended with him having to pay her $80,000, according to TMZ.  Back in July 2012, Celine sued Bow for using footage of her dancing in his music video, "Drank In My Cup," without her permission.  He apparently took the footage from a video she was dancing in for the french band Electronic Conspiracy.

She sued, and won.
