NBA YoungBoy Back Behind Bars ... For Probation Violation After Miami Shooting

1:40 PM PT -- NBA's attorney, Jimmy Manasseh, tells us the rapper was only taken into custody because of his social media post ... and says NBA was the victim of an assassination attempt. Manasseh says NBA didn't have a weapon and didn't commit any crimes ... calling the whole thing a terrible and tragic incident.NBA YoungBoy has been playing with fire on social media, and now -- in the wake of his Miami shooting incident -- he got burned, because cops arrested him for violating his probation.

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ ... the rapper was taken into custody immediately following a hearing in East Baton Rouge Friday, and he'll be detained for at least 30 days.

District Judge Bonnie Jackson ruled his involvement in the Miami fatal shooting last weekend, along with a social media post about it, constituted a probation violation -- even though he was the target, not the shooter.

As we reported, YoungBoy and his crew were shot at on Mother's Day outside the Trump Beach Resort near Miami, and at least one person was killed. We obtained video of the wild scene inside the hotel following the gunfire, in which the rapper rushes to the side of his GF, Kay Marie, who was hit by a bullet.

In the vid, YoungBoy's seen applying pressure to her wound as he and others try to get her to the hospital. She was eventually taken by ambulance after authorities pulled over the SUV they got in to leave the hotel.

The judge ordered the rapper detained Friday, citing the shooting and a social media post in which it appears YoungBoy talks about the shooting and threatens retaliation.

The post violates his probation from an August 2017 sentence for aggravated assault with a firearm. The judge put him on probation for 3 years after giving him a suspended 10-year prison term, and one of the conditions was that he stays off social media.

The thing is, YoungBoy's been all over social media prior to the shooting ... so, it doesn't appear he's been sticking the rules, anyway.

He's been arrested twice since then -- in Florida in 2018 and in Georgia earlier this year for weed and disorderly conduct.

We reached out to the rapper's team ... no word back so far.

Kim Kardashian and Kanye West’s little blessing, Psalm West, is here, and fans are deeply divided on his name.

Kim Kardashian revealed the highly-anticipated name of her newborn son, and the reactions are… mixed, to be honest. Psalm West is here, and fans aren’t sure if they’re digging the uniquely religious name she and Kanye West have given their fourth kid. Of course, they had to up the ante after naming their other kids North, Saint, and Chicago, but Psalm is still a bold choice even compared to his siblings! A lot of fans are convinced that Kanye just straight up wanted to name the kid “God” (or Yeezus), but Kim put the kibosh on it, so they had to settle for something slightly less religious.

As some clever folks pointed out, the Kardashian sisters’ love using the word “bible” when they say they’re telling the truth. Psalm is a biblical hymn — totally works! Many jumped on that good bible humor while discussing the new baby’s name. “Psalm West. At least they didn’t name the baby Deuteronomy. 🤷🏽‍♀️ ,” one fan tweeted. “When Psalm West turns 23 he’s going to walk through the valley of the shadow and fear no evil,” another one quipped. (psst, this is Psalm 23 ). One fan suggested that it would be cooler if they named him after another biblical passage: Exodus. Okay, Exodus West does seem pretty badass. A mean comment, but a good point — even if Psalm and his siblings’ names are unconventional, “Luckily they are going to grow up rich.”

Other fans are obsessed with the little one’s name. After all, what else would you expect with a couple as extra as Kim and Kanye? “Psalm west is cute tbh,” an admirer tweeted. “Unique. All of their kids names are unique and ik y’all have never met someone named North, Chicago, Saint or Psalm. Meanwhile everybody is recycling the same 10 first and middle names.” Good point! “Psalm West sound cool as f**k not gonna lie,” wrote another. Kim’s Instagram announcement was full of supportive comments, too. “Wowww that is sooo pretty !! Purpose names!! I love it!! ♥️♥️🙌🏾 ” one of her followers commented, with another writing, “Stop haters just appreciate the beautiful picture and welcome to this crazy world bébé West.” Amen!

Should Kim and Kanye have a fifth kid somewhere down the line (hey, Kanye’s on record saying he wants seven!), we see a naming pattern. Daughters are locations, sons are religious. What will be next? Oh, and by the way, if you’re just as confused as everyone else: THIS is how you pronounce Psalm.

Kareem Hunt says he has NOT directly apologized to the victim in the 2018 hotel hallway attack -- but he wants to. 

"I have not, but if I was to see her, I would apologize to her face," the Cleveland Browns running back told the media Wednesday.

"But, I have not had the chance to do that. I don't know any ways of contacting her. I have not."

Hunt was asked a bunch of questions about the incident -- and how he's been trying to improve as a person since TMZ Sports published the video of the attack. 

Hunt says he's been going to counseling and has leaned into religion -- he's being baptized this Sunday and looks forward to the feeling of "being reborn."

The 23-year-old says he understands he's on thin ice with the Browns and feels grateful for his 2nd chance ... and vows to make the most of the opportunity. 

Hunt insists he's grown as a person and has learned how to deal with his anger in a better way -- and will NOT make the same mistakes that got him in trouble in the first place. 

Before Hunt took the podium, his QB, Baker Mayfield, went to bat for his new teammate -- saying he thinks Hunt is a "great kid" and when it comes to his violent past, the QB says, "Mistakes happen."

Hunt had just made his first appearance at the Cleveland Browns practice facility Wednesday -- taking part in voluntary team workouts -- and Baker, along with head coach Freddie Kitchens, were singing his praises. 

"Just being around him, I think he's a great kid," Baker said ... "Ya know, mistakes happen. I can speak from personal experience."

Baker is clearly referring to his own Feb. 2017 incident when he tried running from police and got rocked by a cop who hit him with a perfect form tackle. 

As for Kareem, TMZ Sports broke the story ... the former Kansas City Chiefs star was captured on video shoving, bull-rushing and kicking a woman during an altercation at a Cleveland hotel back in February 2018. 

Hunt was also accused of being involved in at least 2 other violent incidents -- including an assault on a man at an Ohio resort in June 2018 and another incident at a nightclub in January 2018. 

The Chiefs cut Hunt in November 2018 -- hours after we published the hotel video -- and he was picked up by the Browns a few months later. 

The NFL punished Hunt with an 8-game suspension, which he'll serve in the 2019 season. 

But, Hunt has clearly been making a good impression on his new teammates and coaches.

Mayfield said he spoke with Kareem's old Chiefs' teammates -- including Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce, who vouched for the running back.

"They speak very highly of him," Mayfield said ... "So, I think that's really important, and it's been pretty important for him to be here too."

Browns head coach Freddie Kitchens was also high on Hunt on Wednesday ... saying he believes Kareem is doing the best he can to become a better person off the field.

"I love Kareem," Kitchens says. "What I really love more than anything about Kareem is he's handling his business off the field."

"He's continuing to try to be the person he wants to be and that everybody here wants him to be and we're going to continue to support him in every way possible to do that."

"Kareem's out in the community now every week. He's either involved in the community or he's actually doing some hosting events in the community trying to reach out to kids who could be heading down the same path."

Chris Brown’s rumored love Ammika Harris took to Instagram on May 15 to celebrate her 26th birthday and fans seemed to think her caption hinted about a pregnancy.

Ammika Harris, who is rumored to be dating Chris Brown, 30, shared a special pic and message in honor of her 26th birthday on May 15, and it caused some major speculation that she could be expecting a child! The gorgeous Instagram model posted a snapshot that showed her posing with a 2 and 6 balloon while wearing a sexy silky white slip dress and in the caption, she talked about how excited she was about her new age.

“GETTING OLDER AND WISER EVERY YEAR. IM SO BLESSED WITH THE MOST BEAUTIFUL GIFT I COULD EVER ASKED FOR❤️❤️HELLO 26!!” the caption read. It didn’t take long for fans to speculate that her “beautiful gift” could be a baby. “you pregnant??” one fan asked. “Happy birthday. 💕🎈 are you pregnant? Your glowing EXTRA lol 👀👀👀,” another wrote. “I think being pregnant is the most beautiful gift she’s referring to,” another comment read.

As if that wasn’t enough to get fans hyped up, the same day that Ammika shared her birthday pic Chris reposted the pic along with a very telling caption.  Chris wrote:  “BIG BIG BIG HAPPY BDAY TO THIS LOVELY WOMAN! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ HAVE FUN MOMMA”. Naturally, calling his rumored girlfriend ‘Momma” sent fans into a frenzy with many congratulating him like it was a done deal.

The speculation about Ammika and Chris possible having a baby together isn’t new. The same kind of comments came up when fans thought Chris was calling her a “baby mama” after responding to one of her pics with the comment, “BM BAD”. Since Chris and Ammika have been private about their relationship, it wouldn’t be too surprising if they decided to keep a pregnancy on the down low as much as possible. We guess only time will tell with this one!

If Ammika is indeed expecting a baby, it would be the second child for Chris, who already has four-year-old daughter Royalty.

Boxer Kubrat Pulev Must Complete Sexual Harassment Course ... For Kissing Reporter

Breaking News

Heavyweight boxer Kubrat Pulev -- who kissed a female reporter without consent -- has been ordered to complete a sexual harassment course in order to be licensed to fight in California again. 

Pulev appeared in front of the California State Athletic Commission on Tuesday to address the March 23 incident when he kissed reporter Jenny Sushe during a post-fight interview. 

Sushe claimed she did NOT give permission for Pulev to kiss her -- and hired attorney Gloria Allred to go after the 38-year-old fighter. 

CSAC had suspended Pulev indefinitely following the incident -- but when the boxer faced the Commission in person on Tuesday, they agreed to reinstate him on July 22 if he completes a sexual harassment training course. 

Pulev must also pay a $2,500 fine within 6 months from the incident -- and if he commits any similar offenses in the future, he could face a lifetime ban in California. 

During the hearing, the CSAC commissioner lectured Pulev about the incident -- telling him he needs to understand why his actions are unacceptable and dangerous. 

Pulev said he understood and wants to get back to work fighting as soon as possible.

Pulev is 27-1 as a pro -- with his only loss coming at the hands of Wladimir Klitschko

Ben Zobrist, a Chicago Cubs baseball star, has called it quits with his wife after nearly 14 years of marriage. Here’s everything you need to know about the MLB star that’s been making headlines amid his divorce.

Ben Zobrist, 37, a professional baseball player for the Chicago Cubs, is headed for divorce with his Christian pop singer wife, Julianna Zobrist. It was Julianna is who listed as the plaintiff, and cited “irreconcilable differences” as the grounds for the divorce which she filed on May 13. The news of a divorce arrived after Ben requested a full week off from his MLB career for “personal” reasons. However,  Ben has since accused his wife of “inappropriate marital conduct” in a complaint for legal separation filed in Tennessee this week. Here’s everything to know about Ben in the midst of the couple’s surprising split.

1. He’s an Illinois native.

Ben was born in Eureka, Illinois and grew up loving the game of baseball. Young Ben probably never expected that he would grow up and not only help the Chicago Cubs win the World Series but also be named MVP.

2. Ben was a bit of a poet in high school.

Twenty years before he became the first Cubs player to become a World Series MVP, he wrote a poem in Eureka High School about the emotion of winning the big game, according to the St. Louis Dispatch

“The ball is going farther than ever / Much to my surprise! / The ball lands way beyond the fence. / I round the bases without shame. / The fans, they cheer and shout and scream! / For our team has won the game!” That may not be as accurate as the Parks & Rec episode that predicted the World Series win, but it’s close enough.

3. He’s a World Series champ. 

In 2008, after college, the Houston Astros drafted him before trading Ben to the Tampa Bay Devil Rays. He would go to the World Series in his rookie year, but the Rays fell to the Philadelphia Phillies. He stayed in Florida until 2015, when he was traded to the Oakland Athletics. In the middle of the 2015 season, the A’s traded Ben to the Kansas City Royals. That was probably the best move of his career, as Kansas City would go on to win the World Series! In 2016, he led the Cubs to victory at the World Series.

4. Ben and his wife began their relationship over Instant Messenger

Ben’s wife is a successful Christian music singer. Back before people were sliding into DM, these two began dating during the early 2000’s, striking up a romance online over IM, according to Heavy.com. After years of dating, they were married in 2005. They have three kids: son Zion Benjamin and daughters Kruse Allegra and Blaise Royal.

5. He is a published author.

Ben and Julianna wrote Double Play: Faith and Family First in 2014, detailing to Ben’s anxiety with baseball to Juliana’s personal struggles with being sexually molested as a young girl. The book was meant to show how being open with a partner can help build a strong foundation for a lasting relationship. It seems to have worked, as Julianna was there to celebrate the biggest night in Ben’s professional career.
