Tokyo Toni thought it would be a good idea to invite a stray fan to live with her … an idea that exploded in her face when the two women began throwing blows!!!

On Tuesday, Tokyo let fans into her turmoil for the past 6 weeks since she opened her heart and the doors to her home.

Tokyo says the woman posed as a fan — and as a music producer who was down and out and needed to get back on her feet.

Tokyo told her TikTok on Monday that she caught the woman in a web of lies and kicked her out … only to come home soon after and see her Washington, D.C. area house smashed up — and $98K worth of her goods COMPLETELY GONE!!!

Tokyo ended up confronting the woman, who still happened to be lingering in the area — and the two began punching each other … but for totally different reasons!!!

The woman claimed she had rebuffed Tokyo’s sexual advances to go down on her, and the animosity was channeled through her fists.

Diddy is looking to beef up his legal defense team … with an attorney famous for defending Young Thug in court.

According to new legal docs, obtained by TMZ, Georgia attorney Brian Steel wants to be admitted to practice law in the Southern District of New York so he can help defend Diddy at trial.

Brian’s known for repping Young Thug in the rapper’s YSL RICO case.

Diddy targeting Brian to join his growing legal team is interesting … as we first reported, our sources told us Diddy’s camp was searching for a Black female attorney to join his current trial team of Marc Agnifilo and Teny Geragos.

Instead, it appears Brian emerged as the candidate.

Our sources also say high-powered attorney Mark Geragos will assume a significant role in Diddy’s case … while Marc and Teny will continue to be lead counsel.

Diddy’s defense team has been doing some shuffling recently … attorney Anthony Ricco jumped ship back in February.

Gene Hackman‘s handyman and caretaker talked to cops after claiming he spied the late actor’s wife’s dead body inside their secluded New Mexico home … telling them to keep things on the down low.

New police body cam footage released Tuesday shows the interaction between cops and Gene’s handyman … and he tells them he went to check on the couple because he hadn’t heard from them in nearly 3 weeks.

The guy claims he was trying to get a wellness check and stumbled upon Betsy Arakawa‘s body. He says it’s Gene’s house and the couple valued privacy and to keep the incident on the hush.

Gene’s handyman was also concerned with the well-being of one of their dogs … who was ultimately found dead in a crate.

As we reported … other police body cam footage released Tuesday shows cops searching the home for Gene and Betsy.

The interior of the home was messy in some areas … and there was a rodent infestation on the property.

Betsy died first from hantavirus pulmonary syndrome … and Gene died a few days later from heart disease and advanced Alzheimer’s.
