Kanye West's off-the-rails campaign stop Sunday in North Charleston, South Carolina may not only hurt Ye politically, he has concerned, upset and alarmed many of his friends and the Kardashians ... sources connected to Kanye tell TMZ.
Our sources say those around him believe Kanye is in desperate need of professional help and is in the middle of a serious bipolar episode, but he won't listen to them.
We're told they also believe Kanye is tanking some of his businesses, if not all of them, with rants like when he went on about Harriet Tubman, claiming she did not free slaves. His family and friends know comments like these are the things that trigger boycotts.
Suffice it to say ... we're told the family is upset that Kanye talked about Kim's first pregnancy and how they discussed abortion, something he says he wanted. Then he blurted out that Kim might divorce him for saying that, but even if she does, he'd thank her for having North.
It's curious he mentioned divorce ... it's usually a topic married folk don't say out loud unless it's been discussed. Whether it was or not ... between Kanye's Forbes interview and Sunday's rally ... you gotta think it puts a strain on the relationship.
BTW ... we're told there's not much concern that Kanye's comments will adversely affect Kim's businesses. We're told their money is separate and her and Kanye's brands are distinguishable.
Finally, we're told his family and friends are also upset because they feel Kanye is a distraction to what is a very important election.

Pop Smoke's alleged murderers were tracked down by LAPD detectives the old-fashioned way ... there were no shortcuts or easy breaks.
Law enforcement sources tell TMZ ... the big break in the case leading to the arrests of 4 men allegedly connected to the rapper's death didn't come from a tipster, but instead from LAPD detectives pounding the pavement and knocking on doors.
We broke the story ... Pop Smoke was gunned down back in February by at least 4 masked gunmen after what appeared to be a home invasion robbery at his rental property in the Hollywood Hills.
Detectives went back to the basics because, as we reported, they hit a roadblock back in February when potential witnesses wouldn't cooperate, and combing social media turned out to be a bust.
Our sources say detectives used video from citizens and businesses in the area to help track and ID the suspects, who were slapped with murder charges last week and could face the death penalty.
Sources also tell us cops believe Los Angeles street gang members were involved in Pop's murder, but they say the case doesn't appear to be a gang hit or an East Coast-West Coast beef -- Pop was from NYC.
Instead, police believe the tragedy was a robbery gone wrong after the alleged killers saw Pop's posts on social media in the hours before the fatal shooting. Pop shared his address, and flexed with huge wads of cash.
We're told, even though the arrests have been made, the case remains under active investigation as detectives search for more evidence.

Nick Cannon seemed to have contemplated suicide ... calling 2020 the most "fucked up year I've ever witnessed," talking about his friend who he says took his own life, adding, he was in "dark contemplation of continuing my physical existence on this planet," and admiring his friend who "had the balls to do it."
It's an alarming message, but not totally surprising. Nick's been called out from all sides, it seems, this week, after his anti-Semitic comments he made on a podcast, for which he apologized. Although Nick says he's trying to educate himself as he meets with rabbis and others, he's now being attacked for apologizing. On top of that, Viacom fired him from 'Wild 'n Out.'
Nick recounted the story of his friend, Ryan Bowers -- an up-and-coming rapper who Nick signed to his label -- who was shot in his own home last year by a San Diego cop. Nick says Ryan was in a coma for months and Nick was by his side. Cannon says his friend fought hard, re-learning basic functions like walking.
Nick says on the surface, Ryan seemed to rebound ... returning to perform to sold-out crowds. But, behind the veneer, Ryan was hurting, whispering to Nick, "Everything still hurts."
Nick says, "I can't help but think if I wasn't so engulfed in my own bullshit I could've been there for you when you finally took your life after several attempts ...Fuck this place!! #CantWin #ForLosing".
We have checked and the Medical Examiner tells us a Ryan Bowers died Saturday.
Nick said on Thursday, "I hurt an entire community and it pained me to my core, I thought it couldn't get any worse. Then I watched my own community turn on me and call me a sell-out for apologizing," adding, "Goodnight. Enjoy Earth."

The family of Specialist Enrique Roman-Martinez wants answers from the U.S. Army about the circumstances of his death and dismemberment after he disappeared during a Memorial Day camping trip with fellow soldiers to North Carolina's Outer Banks.
Six weeks after his partial remains washed up ashore, his loved ones still do not know what happened.
Roman-Martinez's family in California said that Army officials at Fort Bragg, North Carolina have not been forthcoming with details about the case, leaving them with unanswered questions about the 21-year-old paratrooper serving in the famed 82nd Airborne Division.
"It was so cruel what they did to him," Roman-Martinez's sister, Griselda Martinez, said in an interview with ABC News affiliate KABC earlier this week. "Why did they have to do that to him? He's already gone. Why did they have to go the extra step to do this to him?"
"It was really hard for us, too," she added.
Roman-Martinez was camping at South Core Banks over Memorial Day weekend, with seven other soldiers, when he mysteriously disappeared from the camp site.
An unidentified person placed a call to 911 around 7 p.m. on Saturday, May 23, and said Roman-Martinez was last seen wearing blue shorts and no shirt around midnight, 19 hours before the call was placed.
The paratrooper's partial remains were found a week later, on May 29, on Shackleford Banks Island, part of the Cape Lookout National Seashore. His body was identified using dental records.
Roman-Martinez's phone and wallet were later found at the camp site, leading his family to wonder what could have prompted him to leave without them in the middle of the night.
"Because my brother can't see without his glasses, so for him to walk out in the middle of the night without his glasses, it's not likely," Martinez said. "He can't see, where would he go?"
Martinez told the Fayetteville Observer that Army officials have not told the family much about the ongoing investigation into what happened to her brother.
"Over Memorial Day weekend we lost Enrique to a senseless act of violence," Major General Christopher Donahue, the commander of the 82nd Airborne Division, said in a statement issued Thursday. "We are doing everything we can to support his family and find justice for Enrique."
"I've personally spoken with his family to assure them that we will not stop in our pursuit to bring those responsible to justice," he added. "The U.S. Army Criminal Investigation Command has offered a $25,000 reward for information leading to the apprehension and conviction of the person(s) responsible for the homicide. I encourage anyone with information related to this case, regardless of how small, to contact the Fort Bragg CID Office."
An Army official told ABC News that there is no suspicion of a reprisal or hate crime motive in the case.
Donahue described Roman-Martinez as "a valued member of our team" and expressed his condolences to his family, friends and fellow paratroopers.
"My family's thoughts -- and the thoughts of the leadership of the 82nd Airborne Division -- are focused on Enrique's family and battle buddies as we mourn together," he said.

Lyrics:
[Hook - Pharaohe Monch]
Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh
Said its my desire, yes it, yeah
Yes it, yes it is, oh yeah, yeah
[Verse 1: Pharaohe Monch]
Comprehend the guidelines
My chest out chinchilla all relaxed on the sidelines
I'm so famous
Understand, New York City respects my game like Joe Namath
And I protect my name like your anus
In prison, y'all don't hear me
Y'all don't listen
Y'all just wanna shine
Y'all just wanna glisten
Floss, knowing that the soul is still missing
(Who am I?) I am the poetical pastor
Slave to a label but I own my masters
Still get it poppin' without artist & repertoire
Cause Monch is a monarch only minus the A&R
When my brain excels, your train derails
Pop shit, make you feel the Clipse like Pharrell
You will feel me
You will admire
(My) Struggle
(My) Hustle
(My) Soul, Desire
[Hook]
[Verse 2: Pharaohe Monch]
My book is a ovary
The pages I lust to turn
My pen's the penis
When I write the ink's the sperm
Desire, the fire that ignites the torch to burn
This is not rocket science
This is easy to learn
My mic's the gavel
When I talk courts adjourned
Respect, even if you were ashes you couldn't earn
I embody antibiotics
You are infected with germs
Rap's fatally ill, please get concerned
Players, pick turns to play, get burned
I color commentate the game like Chick Hearn
This is the moment of truth for my opponents & liars
Vocals alone invoke the emotion of black choirs
Fire, you don't wanna get burned like Rich Pryor
Move back, who's that, there, the live wire
You will feel me
You will admire
(My) Struggle
(My) Hustle
(My) Soul, Desire
[Outro]

(CNN) President Donald Trump's niece Mary Trump -- a psychologist whose recently published book criticizes the President and his family -- asserted Friday that her uncle's childhood is affecting his ability to govern in a crisis.
"Donald is a psychologically deeply damaged man, based on his upbringing and the situation with his parents," she told CNN's Chris Cuomo on Friday on "Cuomo Prime Time."
"He is not going to get better and he is without question going to get worse," she added.
The stinging assertion is another blistering comment from one of Trump's family members who has been interviewed often this week after her book, "Too Much and Never Enough: How My Family Created the World's Most Dangerous Man," went on sale. The book paints the President in an unflattering light and traces his governing style back to his childhood.
When asked if the President was known among family members as someone who didn't tell the truth, Mary Trump asserted that he "does on some levels know what he's doing" and pointed to issues such as not wearing a mask. She said her uncle is not anti-science but will ignore facts in order to spin his preferred narrative.
"I think one of the reasons he's sort of unraveling a bit now is because what he's always done in the past, that used to work, isn't really working as effectively anymore, so it has him scrambling a bit," she said.
"Knowing, not knowing; educated, not educated as you say -- ultimately it is irrelevant," Mary Trump added. "Just as in the grand schemes of things -- although I think it's extremely useful in some ways to understand his psychology -- it's irrelevant compared to what he's doing, that's what we need to focus on."
Trump, after days of silence about her, called her "a mess" earlier on Friday and alleged that she wrote "untruthful things."
In a series of tweets Friday, he accused her of breaking an unspecified law and lambasted her for criticizing his parents who, he added, "couldn't stand her!"
Mary Trump, in turn, asserted that she was legally in the right.
"I never had Donald's tax returns in my possession, so I could not have revealed them to anybody," she told Cuomo.
She and her grandmother "were very close," she said. "I really loved (my grandmother) and believe that she loved me. My grandfather, I don't think was really, had real positive feelings towards anybody except perhaps Donald."
She called the assertion that she was a mess "an attack he hurls, predominantly, I think, about women."
"Honestly, I'm in very good company," she added. "I believe he's said the same thing about Nancy Pelosi, and I'm fine with that."
She has faced litigation from Robert Trump, the President's brother, who argued in court that the book violated a confidentiality agreement related to Fred Trump's estate. But a New York judge ultimately allowed its release. It sold a staggering 950,000 copies by the end of its first day on sale, publisher Simon & Schuster said Thursday.
Mary Trump has made damning allegations against the President in recent TV appearances, including claiming she's heard Trump use racial slurs. The White House has denied her claims.
In the series of tweets Friday, Trump also had choice words for John Bolton, calling his former national security adviser a "lowlife dummy." Bolton recently published a book about his time in the White House and called the President "naive and dangerous."
The President wrote: "I am the ultimate member of The Book of the Month Club. First I have lowlife dummy John Bolton, a war mongering fool, violating the law (he released massive amounts of Classified Information) and an NDA in order to build badly needed credibility and make a few dollars, which will all end up going to the government anyway."
"Many books have been written about me, some good, some bad. Both happily and sadly, there will be more to come!," the President wrote, in conclusion.

Texas’ Nueces County, where Corpus Christi is located, has reported that 85 infants under the age of 1 have tested positive for the novel coronavirus, health officials said.
"We currently have 85 babies under the age of one year in Nueces County that have all tested positive for Covid-19," said Annette Rodriguez, director of public health for Corpus Christi Nueces County, according to CNN.
"These babies have not even had their first birthday yet,” Rodriguez added. “Please help us stop the spread of this disease."
Texas has become a new hotspot for coronavirus cases, reporting a record of 15,038 new cases on July 16 alone, according to data from The New York Times.
In the past seven days, Nueces County has had 2,499 new cases and 40 deaths — “the fastest growth in new cases on the seven-day average than any other metropolitan county in the state,” Corpus Christi City Manager Peter Zanoni told CNN.
"You can see the trend line is relatively flat until July, and this is where we have had that huge spike in cases, and this is why it's turned into a major problem for Nueces County," Zanoni said.
The news from Rodriguez indicates one of the first announcements of a large number of infant infections in one area. In the past, limited published reports indicated that a “small number of babies” tested positive for the virus shortly after birth. However, children are not at a higher risk than adults and the majority of cases to date are adults, according to the CDC.
Though it is rare, deaths of infants have also been attributed to the virus, including a 6-week-old Connecticut baby who died after testing positive in March.
“We believe this is one of the youngest lives lost anywhere due to complications relating to COVID-19,” Gov. Ned Lamont said at the time.

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) – The suspect in a brutal murder at a Lower East Side luxury condo is awaiting arraignment after he was picked up by police Friday morning.
Sources tell CBS2 the suspect, 21-year-old Tyrese Haspil, was embezzling money and had promised to pay back his boss, 33-year-old Gokada CEO Fahim Saleh, as much as $100,000, but investigators believe Haspil killed his boss instead, fearing Saleh would go to police.
Video shows members of the New York/New Jersey Regional Fugitive Task Force descend upon 172 Crosby Street in NoHo just before 9 a.m. Friday, rushing to arrest Haspil.
“It was very calm. They just walked him around the corner out him into the car,” witness Byron Allen told CBS2’s Alice Gainer.
Haspil is now charged with second degree murder.
On Tuesday afternoon, Saleh’s cousin went to his luxury condo at 265 East Houston street after she hadn’t heard from him.
“Mr. Fahim Saleh’s cousin discovered his dismembered body in the living room of his apartment with his head, arms and legs amputated,” said NYPD Chief of Detectives Rodney Harrison.
An electric saw was near the remains.
One day before, on Monday, police say Haspil, dressed in a black suit with his face covered, got in the building elevator with Saleh, and is seen on camera assaulting him with a electric stun weapon once they reached Saleh’s apartment.
The medical examiner says Saleh was stabbed in the torso and neck.
Haspil allegedly returned the next day to dispose of the body, police sources tell CBS2, but was interrupted by the victim’s cousin, possibly buzzing up from the lobby.
Sources tell CBS2 police have surveillance video that shows the suspect sneaking out of the building as the victim’s cousin was coming up the elevator.
Police say Haspil worked for Saleh.
“Mr. Haspil was Mr. Saleh’s executive assistant and handled his finances and personal matters. It is also believed that he owed the victim a significant amount of money,” Harrison said.

(CNN) Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot doesn't mince her words when it comes to Twitter.
After White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany called Lightfoot "the derelict mayor of Chicago" in a press briefing, the mayor hit back, tweeting "Hey, Karen. Watch your mouth."
McEnany called Lightfoot "derelict" following a question about President Trump's response to the death of Black people at the hands of police.
On the internet, a "Karen" is a moniker for a stereotypically rude, middle aged White woman -- the type who demand to "speak to the manager" or call the police on Black people in innocent situations.

(CNN) Fahim Saleh's assistant was in custody Friday in connection with the dismemberment of the tech entrepreneur at his luxury Manhattan condo, according to a law enforcement official.
The assistant, who allegedly owed Saleh tens of thousands of dollars, was on a repayment plan, the official said.
Saleh, 33, was found dead in his Lower East Side apartment on Tuesday, a law enforcement source told CNN.
When Saleh's sister rang the doorbell to his condo, the assistant was allegedly dismembering his body with an electrical saw and fled, according to the official.
Saleh died of multiple stab wounds, New York City's medical examiner said on Thursday.
He was last seen in surveillance video getting into an elevator in his apartment building and a man dressed in all black -- who police believe is Saleh's assailant -- entering the elevator with him, according to the law enforcement official.
The elevator in Saleh's building goes straight into the apartment units there, the source said.
Saleh died from stab wounds to the neck and torso; the manner of death was homicide, according to the medical examiner.
Saleh, the son of Bangladeshi immigrants, was the founder and CEO of Gokada, a motorbike-hailing app in Nigeria.
He most recently founded the venture capital firm Adventure Capital -- which invested in ride-sharing start-ups in countries like Bangladesh and Colombia.
