Luigi Mangione is back in court, providing the first look at the accused killer after spending the last two months behind bars.

Luigi, the guy who is accused of fatally shooting UnitedHealthCare Group CEO Brian Thompson in Midtown Manhattan, went before a judge Friday in a status hearing in his state case.

It’s the first time we’ve seen Luigi since his December arraignment … and folks were interested in how he would look after spending the past few months at MDC in Brooklyn, the jail where Diddy is being held pending his own trial.

For his part, Luigi’s pled not guilty to state murder and terrorism charges … which could put him behind bars for the rest of his life if he’s convicted. The feds have also charged him with murder and stalking.

Luigi’s had a cult following ever since his December arrest, and folks have donated $500,000 to his legal defense fund.

Before his court appearance, a new show of support popped up in New York City… a giant poster portraying Luigi as an apostle with the words “FREE LUIGI.”

50 Cent has been backing down both Big and Lil Meech on Instagram for days now … but we’re hearing his ex-‘BMF’ leading man can’t be folded that easily!!!

TMZ Hip Hop obtained photos of Lil Meech kicking it with some well-known 50 Cent opps inside Lucky Strike Miami last night … Floyd Mayweather and Rick Ross!!!

Sources for Meech tell us the actor met with Money Mayweather the night before and pulled up to the bowling alley with his brand partners to bless the legendary prizefighter with an exclusive merch drop … the Red Letters x Wonce collab.

We’re hearing Big Meech also made a cameo appearance … in spirit. The former drug kingpin is currently on house confinement, and was phoned in to speak to Ross and Mayweather.

50 Cent clowned Meech’s latest Rozay meet-up with Wingstop jokes … but we’re told Meech’s camp feels like any issues will iron themselves out.

They feel the timing of 50’s attacks to be ironic … since he can’t get any more money off the bigger Meech now that he’s home.

Business is business … Meech’s connections assure us he’s focused on his entrepreneurship and turning Wonce into a household name.

Hunter Schafer — a prominent transgender actress and activist — says the U.S. government has changed one of her major documents … showing her passport, which now identifies her as male, to her fans.

The “Euphoria” star posted a video after she received her new passport in the mail … claiming she opened it up and was surprised to see a little “M” instead of an “F” listed under the gender category.

She says she filled out the paperwork the same as always — identifying herself as a female … but, she adds she never got her birth certificate changed, and thinks the department that issues the crucial travel document may have cross-referenced her application with the other document.

Hunter says she thinks this is a result of an executive order President Donald Trump signed on his first day in office … asserting the federal government only recognizes two genders.

The executive order states “These sexes are not changeable and are grounded in fundamental and incontrovertible reality” — and it looks like the administration is taking active measures on official documents, despite individual variations.

Schafer says she didn’t see this coming … ’cause despite the executive order, she never thought the government would actually go through with this — but, she admits now she was dead wrong.

That said … Hunter says she’s not trying to fearmonger or influence people with her posts — instead, she just wants to show people the reality of the situation.
