DaBaby brutally assaulted a fan Saturday night as he made his way to the stage, and the crowd was so enraged at him the show ended before it began.
The rapper was at Whiskey North in Tampa for his "Up Close N Personal" tour when a woman waved her phone in his direction, presumably to get a pic. Check out the video ... you see DaBaby unload on her.
Folks at the concert tell TMZ ... after the initial shock subsided, the crowd started booing the rapper. DaBaby and his crew left without performing a single song.
He went on his Instagram story to share a video of the incident, saying, "who know shawty government name so my lawyer can get active."
Cops showed up -- responding to a 911 assault call -- but no arrests were made.
DaBaby's had his share of problems recently. He was recently accused of beating up and robbing a guy in Miami. The battery charges were dropped but he's still under the microscope for robbery -- he allegedly jacked the guy's cellphone, credit card and cash.
What do Elizabeth Warren, Debbie Downer and James Bond have in common? They all popped up in some of Saturday Night Live‘s most memorable sketches this weekend — some for better… and some for worse.
It was Bond himself, Daniel Craig, who presided over Season 45’s 15th installment, and proved to be a capable, if not spectacular host who was better suited for digital shorts than he was for live sketches. The episode delivered multiple coronavirus-themed skits, but far fewer laughs than John Mulaney’s week-ago hosting stint.
BEST: THE INGRAHAM ANGLE CORONAVIRUS COLD OPEN Seeing Sen. Warren come face to face with SNL portrayer Kate McKinnon was easily the highlight of the night. And Warren’s crack at the expense of fellow former Democratic presidential hopeful Michael Bloomberg — “Not only did I not accept money from billionaires, I got to give one a swirly on live TV!” she exclaimed — was priceless. But even before she arrived on screen, it was one of the stronger politically tinged cold opens as of late, thanks in part to Darrell Hammond’s return as MSNBC retiree(-turned-Fox News hire?) Chris Matthews, and Cecily Strong’s uncanny impression of Jeanine Pirro. (Watch it here.)
BEST: SALAD Aidy Bryant was equal parts “1950s housewife” and “Rachel Green making a traditional English trifle” in this bizarro short about a homemaker and one particularly revolting recipe for overnight salad. Craig was put to best use here in the role of Bryant’s fed-up husband, who scolded her for feeding their two children (and the poor family dog) such dreck.
BEST: THE SANDS OF MODESTO This COVID-19-themed soap opera satire won me over with its many sight gags, including stock footage of two people shaking hands, and Craig covering McKinnon with Saran Wrap before getting hot and heavy.
BEST: GIRL YOU WISH YOU HADN’T STARTED A CONVERSATION WITH AT A PARTY Who better to provide commentary on the “QDOBA Virus” than Strong’s dimwitted (and slightly tipsy) Weekend Update character? “It’s been blown so out of abortion,” she deadpanned, before giving her two cents on the race for the Democratic nomination for president. “This whole thing is ribbed for no one’s pleasure… It’s like, everyone wants socialism now, but how did that work out for Vuvuzela?”
HONORABLE MENTION: ON THE COUCH Kenan Thompson and Chris Redd were joined by musical guest The Weeknd for their latest music video collaboration, which took a bit too long to reveal the real reason why each of them were forced to sleep on the couch, rather than in bed with their lovers.
WORST: DEBBIE DOWNER WEDDING RECEPTION Debbie Downer’s trip to Disney World was one of the funniest SNL sketches of the early aughts, in large part because everyone, including Rachel Dratch, was unable to hold it together. Unfortunately, this surprise revival — like so many recent TV revivals — was a total dud. The timing was off, and the jokes were forced. If not the worst sketch of the night, it was certainly the most disappointing.

Warren’s cameo came at the end of a lengthy Fox News spoof about the coronavirus, where host Laura Ingraham (also played by McKinnon) discusses “the coronavirus smear campaign against President Trump” with Cecily Strong’s Jeanine Pirro and Mikey Day and Alex Moffat’s Trump brothers. “Look, coronavirus is an urban legend, and yes, I said ‘urban’ as a dog whistle,” McKinnon’s Ingraham said.
The recently retired MSNBC anchor Chris Matthews (played by SNL vet Darrell Hammond) then joins the Fox News roster and talks about the recent controversies that led to his exit. “Welcome back to Hardball, I’m Chris Matthews. Tonight my guest is Laura, a spooky blonde lady who lies to the elderly,” he said. “Maybe I’ll get in trouble for saying this, but you look great.”
“Chris, you can say whatever you want, it’s Fox,” Ingraham told him.
The host then interviewed “the woman who savagely murdered Michael Bloomberg on live television,” Elizabeth Warren.
“I’m doing just fine, My friends and family have been so supportive, they’ve been calling non-stop asking ‘Are you OK? What do you need? Were you electable?’ That kind of thing,” Warren said.
Asked whether she has picked a candidate to endorse yet, Warren admitted, “It’s tough. Maybe I’ll just pull a New York Times and endorse them both.”
“I am so proud of my campaign,” Warren added. “We built a wide coalition of teachers, preschool teachers, middle school teachers, and teachers’ pets. And not only did I not accept money from billionaires, I got to give one a swalley on live TV.”
McKinnon then entered Warren’s frame, wearing the same clothes as Warren, to thank her for “all that you’ve done in your lifetime.”
NEW YORK (AP) — McCoy Tyner, the groundbreaking and influential jazz pianist and the last surviving member of the John Coltrane Quartet, has died. He was 81.
Tyner’s family confirmed the death in a statement released on social media Friday. No more details were provided.
“It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of jazz legend, Alfred “McCoy” Tyner. McCoy was an inspired musician who devoted his life to his art, his family and his spirituality,” the statement read. “McCoy Tyner’s music and legacy will continue to inspire fans and future talent for generations to come.”
Tyner was born in Philadelphia on Dec. 11, 1938. He eventually met Coltrane and joined him for the 1961 album “My Favorite Things,” a major commercial success that highlighted the remarkable chemistry of the John Coltrane Quartet. The album was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame in 1998.
The quartet would go on to release more revered projects, becoming an international renowned group and one of the seminal acts in jazz history.
Tyner eventually found success apart from the John Coltrane Quartet, releasing more than 70 albums. He also won five Grammy Awards.
In 2002, he was named a Jazz Master by the National Endowment for the Arts.
Meghan Markle has infuriated yet another member of the royal family by overshadowing a big announcement with an ill-timed Instagram.
Prince Charles’ wife, Camilla, the (still royal) Duchess of Cornwall, was infuriated after Markle posted pictures of herself visiting the National Theatre on her and Prince Harry’s Sussex Royal Instagram account — the same day Camilla gave a speech at the Women of the World Festival in London about the “horrific threat” of domestic abuse.
According to the Daily Mirror, Camilla had “planned her address for a year, and was apparently left devastated by Meghan overshadowing her big moment.”
“Of course it was known Harry and Meghan would be doing engagements this week, some privately, but everyone was in agreement that Camilla’s speech should take precedence. Unfortunately, some people had other ideas.”
The website added: “Meghan broke a pledge not to overshadow Camilla’s vital campaign against abuse by demanding the pictures of her private visit to the National Theatre be published the same day.”
This is not the first time Markle has overshadowed her royal in-laws.
On Saturday (March 7), the 35-year-old pop star -- who's expecting her first child with finance Orlando Bloom -- proudly showed off her baby bump for the first time in public since revealing her pregnancy earlier in the week.
Perry was photographed in Melbourne, Australia, where she was rehearsing for an appearance at the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup 2020 Final. The American Idol judge will give a live performance before and after the cricket match on Sunday, which also falls on International Women's Day.
Perry took to her Instagram Story to encourage female fans to attend the game. "We're trying to make it the most attended female sporting event ever. We're almost there," she said in a selfie video.
On Thursday, the singer surprised the world with news of her pregnancy by showing off her baby bump in the music video for her dramatic new ballad "Never Worn White." Following the reveal, Perry told SiriusXM Hits 1 that "Never Worn White" isn't the lead single from her forthcoming record, but it came out at the best time.
"Honestly, I was getting way too fat to hide it, so I was like, 'Well, I think this song would be a great reveal! Let's start there," she revealed to Piff with a laugh. "And that's how I communicate things -- I communicate through music."
See below for more photos of Perry's first time showing off her baby bump in public.
