Mega-producer Mustard just came up with one helluva remix ... not only delivering free meals to those in need, but making sure they're healthy meals.
The hitmaker hopped on "TMZ Live" Monday to talk about his latest venture ... teaming up with his pal, YG, to buy up 7 L.A.-based Fishbone Seafood restaurants. But, the partnership doesn't end there. The L.A.-native ballers also partnered with Postmates to give back to their community ... delivering $100k worth of free food to L.A. residents and community organizations.
Check out the video and the pics ... Mustard said he wanted to lead by example and give back to his community, never forgetting his roots. The producer says he's not doing this for the praise. Far from it. It's about showing kids that those who make it out have a responsibility to give back.
Mustard -- who BTW, earned the stage name because his first name is Dijon (as in Dijon mustard, get it?) -- is also looking much different these days. Dude tells us being locked up in quarantine is what triggered the transformation ... with an assist from one of his camera guys.
Mustard says he hates to see pics of himself from back in the day 'cause he doesn't recognize that person. But, gotta say ... it's one helluva transformation.
Kodak Black says he was viciously attacked by seven prison guards on Friday, May 1, at the United States Penitentiary, Big Sandy in Kentucky.
A post on the 22-year old rapper's Instagram page today detailed this weekend's alleged incident.
"Friday night he was badly beaten while in cuffs, by 7 guards at Big Sandy KY.," the post reads. "They struck him in the head repeatedly with a metal object, Then after one of the guards flicked his genitals and said "you're not so gangster now, you're gonna need bigger balls to survive". We have notified his counsel @lawronin and he advised he will be asking for a full investigation by @thejusticedept and the FBI."
Black's lawyer, Bradford Cohen, says he has requested an investigation by the Department of Justice.
"I have requested that Big Sandy preserve all video and conduct a full investigation. I have also reached out to DOJ, as I feel that a 3rd party investigation needs to take place immediately," Cohen wrote on an Instagram post. "There are recordings of the witnesses that called and stated what happened to Bill. A 22 year old man serving approx 2 years more for a non violent crim is in a max pen. 1100 miles from his family and lawyers. This is true injustice. Not to mention when he was under the influence of an unknown substance during the incident in Miami 2 weeks before his sentencing on the paperwork case."
Black, real name Bill Kapri, has been held at Big Sandy since January, 23, when he was moved from the Federal Detention Center in Miami.
He is serving 46 months on weapons charges and is scheduled to be released on Aug. 14, 2022.

CLAYTON, Mo. -- A St. Louis police officer accused of accidentally killing a female colleague while playing a variation of Russian roulette pleaded guilty Friday and was sentenced to seven years in prison.
Nathaniel Hendren, 30, had been scheduled to go to trial March 23 on charges of first-degree involuntary manslaughter and armed criminal action. The seven-year sentence was the maximum for involuntary manslaughter.
He was accused of fatally shooting 24-year-old Katlyn Alix, also a St. Louis police officer, at his home in January 2019 while he was supposed to be on duty elsewhere. Hendren’s male partner, also on duty, was at the home, too. Alix, a married military veteran, was off-duty at the time.
“The reckless behavior that took place that early morning has left an unfillable void for her grieving husband, her parents, and a host of loving family and friends,” Circuit Attorney Kim Gardner said in a statement.
Hendren’s lawyer, Talmage Newton IV, has called Alix’s death a “tragic accident,” but a lawsuit filed by Alix’s family claimed Hendren forced other girlfriends to play similar games.
A probable cause statement from police, provided by Gardner's office, offered a chilling account of the game that led to Alix’s death.
"The defendant emptied the cylinder of the revolver and then put one cartridge back into the cylinder," the statement said. Hendren allegedly spun the cylinder, pointed the gun away and pulled the trigger.
The gun did not fire. The statement said Alix took the gun, pointed it at Hendren and pulled the trigger. Again, it didn't fire.
Hendren "took the gun back and pointed it at the victim (and) pulled the trigger causing the gun to discharge," the statement said. "The victim was struck in the chest."
The other male officer told investigators he warned Hendren and Alix not to play with guns and reminded them they were police officers. He was about to leave when he heard the fatal shot, the statement said.
The male officers drove Alix to a hospital where she died.
Alix was a patrol officer who graduated from the St. Louis Police Academy in January 2017.
The shooting was among several embarrassing recent incidents involving St. Louis police.
In November 2018, several officers were accused of attacking a black undercover colleague, Luther Hall, when he was mistaken for a protester during a 2017 demonstration. Hall claimed he was beaten “like Rodney King,” and his injuries required several surgeries. Two officers pleaded guilty and two others go to trial in September.
Also in 2018, Gardner placed several dozen city officers on an “exclusion list,” citing what she called credibility concerns, though declining to elaborate. Officers on the list are not permitted as primary witnesses in criminal cases.
Last year, the Philadelphia-based Plain View Project released a study that found thousands of racist and anti-Muslim social media comments from police in St. Louis and seven other jurisdictions. Forty-three of the 3,500 accounts viewed by the group were tied to current or former officers in St. Louis.
Some of the posts supported roughing up protesters or mocked foreign accents. Others displayed the Confederate flag and questioned whether Black History Month was racist.
Hendren left the police department soon after the shooting and his state peace officer license was suspended.

Houston Rockets guard James Harden defended his style of play during an interview with ESPN's Rachel Nichols on Friday.
At the 5:52 mark of the following video, Harden noted that he has to constantly work on his skill set since he doesn't have the same size and athleticism as some other players:
"I wish I could be 7-feet, run and just dunk. That takes no skill at all," Harden said. "I gotta actually learn how to play basketball and how to have skill. I'll take that any day."
While Harden didn't mention a player by name, his comment came after Nichols mentioned Milwaukee Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo's joke about taking Boston Celtics guard Kemba Walker over Harden in the All-Star Game draft since he wanted someone who would pass the ball.
While Giannis seemed to be kidding, Harden didn't find it funny considering he ranks ninth in the NBA in assists per game with 7.3, while Walker is tied for 36th with 5.0 per game.
Harden has been criticized at times for dominating the ball on the offensive end and not necessarily excelling defensively, but there is no denying the production he has provided the Rockets since they acquired him from the Oklahoma City Thunder in 2012.
The 30-year-old Harden has been named an All-Star in each of his eight seasons with the Rockets, and he is on pace to lead the NBA in scoring for the third consecutive year. So far this season, Harden is averaging 35.2 points, 7.3 assists and 6.4 rebounds per contest.
Harden also figures to be in the MVP conversation after winning the award during the 2017-18 campaign.
Last season, Giannis beat out Harden for MVP honors, as he averaged 27.7 points, 12.5 rebounds and 5.9 assists per game and led the Bucks to the NBA's best record.
The Bucks are the NBA's best team again this season, and Giannis has been even better individually with 29.7 points, 13.7 rebounds and 5.8 assists per contest.
At 6'11", Giannis does much of his damage inside the arc and in the paint, but he has improved as a shooter and is averaging a career-high 1.5 three-pointers per game, while shooting 31.4 percent from beyond the arc, which is up from 25.6 percent last season.
The MVP race this season could come down to Giannis and Harden again, with Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James and Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Doncic sprinkled in as well.
Few star players are more different than Giannis and Harden, but they are both highly effective and there is no end in sight to their dominance over the league.
TEMPLE HILLS, Md. (AP/WJZ) — A Prince George’s County police officer has been charged with murder in the shooting death of a handcuffed man in Temple Hills Monday night.
At a news conference Tuesday evening, Police Chief Hank Stawinski announced Cpl. Michael Owen, Jr. has been charged with second-degree murder, manslaughter and weapons charges in the death of William Howard Green, 43, of Washington, D.C.
“I have concluded that what happened last night is a crime,” Stawinski told reporters.
The deadly shooting occurred Monday night during an apparent struggle inside the cruiser after Prince George’s County police officers responded to reports that a driver had struck multiple vehicles near the Temple Hills community, department spokeswoman Christina Cotterman told news outlets.
When officers located the driver, they smelled PCP and believed the man was under the influence, Cotterman said.
The officer got into the driver’s seat after the suspect was taken into custody and placed in the front passenger seat, according to Cotterman, who said that conforms with department policy, which states, “One officer may transport one arrestee, who will occupy the right front seat. For vehicles equipped with transport partitions, arrestees will occupy the right rear seat.”
Police said Owen’s vehicle did not have a partition.
Two independent witnesses told police they either saw or heard a struggle, and heard loud bangs coming from the cruiser, according to Cotterman.
Police said Tuesday Owen shot Green seven times.
Owen and another officer performed life-saving measures and took the man to a hospital. He died a short time later.
The shooting wasn’t caught on body-camera video because the officer didn’t have one, Cotterman said. Investigators were looking for surveillance cameras in the area that may have recorded the shooting.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. – An Indiana woman who admitted to injecting fecal matter into her son’s IV is going to prison.
Tiffany Alberts, 44, was sentenced to seven years in prison followed by five years of probation one count of neglect and six counts of aggravated battery. She had been charged with attempted murder, but she was found not guilty of that charge during a bench trial in September.
The investigation began in 2016 when her then 15-year-old son developed blood infections while undergoing treatment for leukemia at Riley Hospital for Children.
Staff placed surveillance cameras in the teen’s room, and they discovered Alberts was using a syringe to inject an unknown substance in his IV bag.
Alberts later admitted to putting feces in his IV bag. She said she did it to get her son moved to another unit at Riley that had better treatment.
Doctors say the boy could have died from septic shock.

HARRIS COUNTY, Texas — Two people were killed and at least seven others injured in a drive-by shooting Friday night at a warehouse complex in north Harris County.
It happened in the 500 block of Smart Street. Harris County Sheriff Ed Gonzalez said the victims were Hispanic men in their 20s. They were ambushed while making a rap music video in the parking lot.

(Fox 4) DALLAS - A Southlake couple received seven years in prison each for keeping a West African woman as their slave for 16 years.
Mohamed and Denise Toure were convicted of forced labor, conspiracy to commit alien harboring and alien harboring in January.
The couple, members of wealthy and powerful Guinean families, brought a girl from her rural village in Guinea to Texas in 2000. She lived in their home and worked for them without pay until she ran away in 2016.
During the trial, prosecutors presented evidence showing the Toures physically, verbally and emotionally abused the victim, hitting her with an electrical cord and calling her “dog,” “slave” and “worthless.”
“Forced labor trafficking cases are notoriously difficult to prosecute – in part because victims are often afraid to speak out,” said U.S. Attorney Erin Nealy Cox. “It took tremendous courage for this young woman to share her story at trial. She was brought to this country at a young age, pressured to stay quiet, and forced to work for this family without pay for 16 years. I want to commend her, as well as the witnesses who helped shine a light on her circumstances. If we want to wipe out human trafficking, we need to remind witnesses to speak up, and ask the community to remain alert.”
The Toures will also have to pay the woman nearly $300,000 in restitution.
They may also lose their legal immigration status and be deported after completing their sentences.

The Long Awaited E.P "7" is available on all platforms.
Najeezus Khrist, born Najee Woolfolk, is from Fort Valley Georgia. He developed a love for music at a very young age. He was born and raised in the south, but the free-flowing style came naturally after a childhood of freestyling with his mother and listening to various forms of music such as the Red Hot Chilli Peppers, Talib Kweli, Nirvana and the Dungeon Family. It was only natural that the blood in his veins would freeze and turn to the coldest lyrics. It wasn't until elementary that he actually blessed a stage and performed at a school talent show. His love for wordplay grew even stronger. Over the next few years, his wicked writing skills eventually started to haunt him at night, causing him to get no sleep and that’s where the insomnia, Dracula style, smooth voice came from. Now, the 25 year old microphone martial artist is spreading a message to raise awareness on knowledge of self and repair the confidence of the broken through his raw and rugged lyrics.
