LiAngelo Ball is looking to capitalize off his newfound success in the music industry … telling TMZ Sports he wants to drop a project with NBA YoungBoy!!

We caught up with the baller-turned-rapper at LAX on Thursday … just hours after Ball dropped a music video for his viral debut song, “Tweaker.”

Gelo — who signed a multimillion-dollar contract with Def Jam — has been getting looks from a ton of names in the rap game who want to work with him in the booth … but when we asked him who’s at the top of his own list, he’s got one name in mind.

Unfortunately, getting these two together in the studio won’t happen immediately … as YoungBoy is currently behind bars, but is slated to get out in a few months.

Outside of the YoungBoy collab, Gelo told us his album should be coming this spring … and he’s excited to get onstage at Rolling Loud.

As for his first love, Gelo hasn’t officially retired from basketball … and said he’ll be good to go if a team hits him up.

Finesse2tymes allegedly put his street team in harm’s way where bullets were flying … and it’s all spelled out in a new lawsuit filed by his former driver.

TMZ Hip Hop obtained legal docs filed by Ernest Flores, who is suing Finesse2tymes and others over the June 18, 2023 shooting outside the now-shuttered nightclub Cosmopolitan Premier Lounge near Atlanta, Georgia.

Flores says he was employed by Finesse2tymes for the local Hot 107.9 radio station’s after-party during its annual Birthday Bash Weekend concert.

He claims, despite knowing the risk of criminal activity and the large crowd expected at the event, the club let the Memphis rapper onstage anyway.

According to the suit, at approximately 3 AM, a shootout transpired, injuring five people, including Flores.

Flores says he survived a shot in the head, noting how his bullet-holed baseball cap and his bloody clothes left him with a reminder of how close to death he was.

Flores blames Finesse2tymes for failing to provide adequate security personnel for crowd control and is now suing for emotional trauma, pain and suffering, and heavy medical bills he says he incurred as a result.

Order in the court! Reese Witherspoon may be “Legally Blonde” in these two gorgeous photos, but some things are NOT by the books … Can you scope out the scene and put the minor changes behind bars?

Reese hit up “Good Morning America” earlier this week to dish on her newest movie, “You’re Cordially Invited” … and looked dapper rockin’ a light blue suit and a brown leather handbag. It’s giving, Elle Woods vibes but all grown up 💁‍♀️!
