Ray-J and Fabolous got into a fight over the weekend.
Early reports are that Ray-J punched Fab in the face over some jokes on twitter about Ray J singing at Floyd Mayweather Jr's house.
"You want to diss me and the Money Team, and we got 7 Rolls Royce's outside. Don't disrespect me fool," a heated Ray-J told The Breakfast Club this morning. "N*ggas saying Ray J got beat up? I smacked that n*gga in the face. All I'm saying is if you got Fab's number tell him to send a picture of his face right now. I'm not playing games with these b*tch ass n*ggas," Ray continued. "Don't disrespect me and Floyd [Mayweather Jr.] like that. I play piano in that motherf*cker every day, that's my big bro, we grew up together. So if you think I just came over there to sing a song then you got me twisted. I'm always over there."
Ray was far from done.
"I swear to God, he's running from me right now. I had 100 fools outside [the club]. He never left the club -- he was scared up in there. He tried to call the police. Shout out to my big bro Diddy because he tried to be like 'look they was just going on on you, and it was all fun and games.' Shout out to Kevin Hart, he's a comedian, but Fab aint no comedian. My homie saved his life when he was in L.A. His life was threatened by my other dudes, and my other homie saved his life. So how dare you even speak disrespectful to me. So when I seen him I was with Floyd and 50 [Cent], and he tried to say 'don't touch me' and I touched that n*gga."

Skylar Grey has collaborated with Eminem on 2 huge hits, but she is still adjusting to working with the superstar.
Grey co-wrote and sings on "Love The Way You Lie." She also sings the hook on the Dr. Dre/Eminem collaboration "I Need A Doctor."
It's been the opportunity of a lifetime for Grey. One she is grateful for.
"Eminem makes fun of me. But he's a rare breed of an artist that doesn't come along every day, so being able to be in a room with him and see his creativity at work was both inspiring and intimidating," she said according to ContactMusic.
The 25-year old singer also revealed the inspiration used to inspire her to write "Love The Way You Lie."
"It wasn't necessarily about literal violence in a relationship, but that vicious cycle of somebody who keeps you on your toes because they're kind of an assh*le. I do tend to fall for assholes because they keep me on my toes and I don't get bored. That's what I wrote it about."

NORE gets things popping in this fresh new video for "Finito."
Watch the Slime Father trade verses with Lil Wayne over this Neptunes produced track.
**Update: Mayweather vs Larry Merchant video, Post fight press conference and more pics added**
It's hard to say what was more compelling. Floyd Mayweather Jr.'s dominating performance in winning over Victor Ortiz Saturday night (September 17), or his post fight argument with HBO announcer Larry Merchant.
Although Ortiz had his moments during the fight, he was dominated by Mayweather, who despite a 15-month layoff looked sharp during the entire fight.
The ending of the fight came suddenly, and brutally in a bizarre fourth round that saw Ortiz head butt Mayweather. At that point the referee separated the fighters to warn Ortiz, and to deduct 1 point for the foul. He then signasl for the fighters to start fighting again. They touch gloves and Mayweather throws a left, right combination catching Ortiz flush, putting him to sleep.
At the time Ortiz looked confused as to whether the fight had started again, but you're always told to protect yourself at all times.
Referee Joe Ortez wasn't looking at the fighters when the ko occured. He got distracted looking at the timekeeper, and can clearly be heard asking "did the bell ring?"
Cortez basically lost control of the fight. The punches Mayweather landed were legal. The referee acknowledged after the fight that Mayweather had done nothing wrong.
"Time was 'in' and the fighter has to have his guard up," Cortez said. "Mayweather did nothing wrong."
Keith Kizer, executive director of the Nevada State Athletic Commission, also said the punches were legal according to MLive.
"Cortez pointed to the timekeeper," Kizer said, "and time was 'in.' Floyd's punches came a second after time was back 'in.' "
During his post fight interview with Larry Merchant, Mayweather got very heated at Merchant's persistent questioning about the punches. Finally Mayweather got tired of it, and went off on the announcer.
"You never give me a fair shake. HBO needs to fire you," Mayweather screamed. "You don't know sh*t about boxing."
"I wish I was 50 years younger and I'd kick your ass," the 71- year old Merchant yelled back.
Ortiz took the loss well. He apologized for the head butt, and said he still has a lot to learn.
"There's two ways to look at it but as far as I was concerned I came here to entertain the fans and I think they were entertained," Ortiz said. "There was a miscommunication with the referee but nobody is perfect and this was a learning experience."
The win raised Money May's record to 42-0. He also claimed Ortiz's WBC Welterweight Championship belt.
After the fight the Money Team was in a celebratory mood.
"What's all the ca motion oh THE MONEY TEAM. Its just another victory. LMAO," 50 Cent wrote on twitter. He later posted a pic of a Hublot watch he was given by the champion. "Look what my boy @FloydMayweather got for me. Cool its called king power SK."

LOS ANGELES (AP) -- Four people were arrested after detectives discovered a burglary in progress at the home of champion boxer Manny Pacquiao while he was in his native Philippines preparing for a fight, authorities said Saturday.
Nothing was taken and no one was home Friday during the midday break-in that detectives witnessed by chance in the Hancock Park neighborhood of Los Angeles, sheriff's Capt. Mike Parker said.
The fighter was informed of the burglary and will proceed to his training base in the northern resort city of Baguio to prepare for his third fight against Juan Manuel Marquez of Mexico on Nov. 12 in Las Vegas, his attorney and chief of staff Franklin Gacal said.
Gacal said the break-in occurred when a security guard who oversees the house had gone out to eat.
"Manny is happy that nothing was stolen," Gacal said.
The area is patrolled by the Los Angeles Police Department, but detectives from the Sheriff's Department were in the area on an unrelated criminal investigation when they saw the home being burglarized and made the arrests, Parker said.
The four people were being questioned. Their names have not been released and they have yet to be charged.
Pacquiao, 32, has won 14 straight fights and is considered by many the best pound-for-pound boxer in the world and among the greatest of all time. He is a megastar in the Philippines, where he is also a singer, actor and congressman.

DJ Whoo Kid was in the mood to reminisce when he talked with HipHopBeef recently.
The G-Unit record spinner talked about his days working at radio station Hot 97 in NYC. Back then Whoo Kid says he was known to diss people, so he always had to be ready if confronted.
"At Hot 97 I always used to carry a cup of hot tea. Especially at 2 in the morning because if you talk about somebody on the radio, that's the best time for them to catch you," Whoo Kid said. "You can ask [Funkmaster] Flex and all these guys. We had the hot tea technique. A n*gga come at me.... Shout out to all the artists that ever wanted to kill me but it's too late 'cause I don't do that sh*t no more. Because I love my life and I'm like 39 now. All I want is orgy beef"

R. Kelly was a guest on WGCI Chicago’s “Tony Sculfield & The Morning Riot.” on Thursday (September 15).
Kels was asked which of the young singers that are out currently that have a chance to be next in line.
“Trey Songz is a guy that if he keeps with the hits and he humbles himself a little more, he will definitely be one of the runner-ups," Kelly said. “Chris Brown is already there. He’s a humble guy. Chris Brown used to come to my studio when he was 13, 14, 15 and 16. I got the utmost respect for Chris Brown. My hat goes off to him because he got in the studio, he did what he was supposed to do, and he bounced back like round ball.”
Kelly also talked about his recent throat surgery.

Wiz Khalifa doesn't care about Amber Rose's past. At least that's what he says in the latest issue of Sister 2 Sister.
Wiz was addressing the very explicit nude photos of Rose that are all over the net. The "Black and Yellow" rapper thinks the past should be left there.
"I could see if that was what she was doing while I'm with her or something like that, and it was in a disrespectful way, but it's nothing like that," Wiz told the publication. "It's not even, like, the pictures or her past is a raunchy past. She did what she had to do. There's plenty of powerful women who overcame that, and that's what she really is, an example of what work and faith in God, you know what I'm saying, can get you into a positive situation. You can make a positive out of a negative."
“The biggest misconception about Amber is that she wants attention,” he later continued. “Everybody thinks that she does stuff for attention and that she loves attention, but she’s really, really reserved and shy. She just gets attention ’cause she’s dope.”
If Wiz can deal with it, then I wish them the best.

Reno, Nevada (CNN) -- A pilot lost control of his vintage plane during an air race over the skies of Reno, Nevada, plummeting toward thousands of spectators before narrowly missing a grandstand and slamming into box seats.
At least three people died and more than 50 people were transported from the scene with injuries, officials said shortly after the crash Friday at the National Championship Air Races and Air Show.
But there could be "mass casualties," officials said.
According to one local hospital, Renown Medical Center, they received 27 patients, 12 who were in critical condition. It reported that two patients -- a male and a female -- died.
On Saturday morning, patients were either in surgery, awaiting surgery, or transferred to a room, the hospital said.
Renown South Meadows Medical Center received four patients, all in fair condition.
St. Mary's Hospital in Reno said it had accepted 25 patients Friday evening from the accident. A spokeswoman for the hospital did not release the conditions of the patients.
The pilot, identified as Jimmy Leeward, a real estate developer from Ocala, Florida, was killed in the crash, according to a show official.
Pilot Jimmy Leeward
The 74-year-old was flying a P-51 Mustang. The event has been canceled and a memorial service will be held for the pilot Saturday afternoon, the show said.
A day before the crash, in an interview from Airshow TV, Leeward expressed confidence about his prospects in the race -- while hinting that his team would fly even faster in the days to come.
"We're as fast as anybody in the field, and maybe even faster," he said. "We've been playing poker since last Monday, so we're ready to show a couple more cards (so) we'll see what happens."
Several witnesses were calling the pilot a hero because he maneuvered the plane away from the crowded grandstands at the last moment.
Ben Cissell said the plane crashed about 100 feet from where he was seated.
"I think that pilot in the last seconds pulled up because he saw the bleachers and saved about 200 or 300 others," Cissell said.
"I don't mean this as a disrespect to others injured, but that pilot is a hero. He saved a lot of lives today. It could have been much worse."
Kim Fonda said she also saw the plane streaking toward where she was seated in the grandstand.
"I closed my eyes and said I am going to die now," Fonda said. "I was literally preparing to die and then he jerked the plane away and it landed like 25 feet from us. I want his family to know he was a hero."
Video of the crash, posted on YouTube, showed a plane plummeting from the sky, sending up clouds of dust and debris. Shocked spectators rose to their feet.
Fred Scholz, a witness, said he saw the plane seemingly "coming straight down."
"I thought he was coming right on top of us," he said, noting that the aircraft hit about 100 feet from him.
"Luckily there was no fire, which surprised me," said Scholz, 59, from Truckee, California, who says he goes to air races ever year. "It just happened so quickly."
Another witness, Greg Mills, added that the pilot "didn't have enough altitude to pull up," with the aircraft shuddering before slamming to the ground about 50 to 75 yards from where he was standing.
"We got showered by little stuff," said Mills, who works at the Pacific Aviation Museum based in Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, describing a chaotic scene afterward. "Everybody was running."
The National Transportation Safety Board has sent a team to investigate the crash.
The plane, called the "Galloping Ghost," was taking part in a qualifying round in the "unlimited class" division of the air race when it went down around 4:15 p.m. PT Friday, said Mike Draper, the show spokesman. The final rounds had been slated for the weekend.
The aircraft was about a lap into the race when the pilot sent out a "Mayday signal" and pulled "out of the lap" before crashing into a box seat area that is in front of a grandstand about 15 miles north of Reno, Draper said.
"It was clear that (the plane) was pulling up and was in distress," he said.
He added that authorities do not know why the aircraft went down.
Besides the Federal Aviation Administration personnel already there to assist the National Transportation Safety Board in the investigation, the show's spokesman said that National Guard members -- who were on-site practicing before the incident -- are helping emergency personnel to clear the area.
"There are people still being escorted out of that area with various injuries," Draper said.
Reno Mayor Bob Cashell told CNN that "700 or 800 emergency personnel showed up in a matter of minutes."
"You couldn't believe how fast they came," said Cashell, adding that residents and some troops on site also helped with the injured. "Just watching these people and the way they responded, and it's been magnificent."
Local fire officials are reporting multiple fatalities and critical injuries, according to Ian Gregor, a spokesman with the FAA.
He said the aircraft did not catch fire, but there was a wide debris field following the crash.
Gary Arthur, another witness to the accident, said the plane wavered a few times, suggesting the pilot had tried to get control before going down.
"Just the sound of the impact was unbelievable," he said. "Almost can't believe you saw what actually happened."
In 2007, a mid-air collision during the annual National Championship Air Races in Reno claimed the life of one of the two pilots involved. The collision was the latest in a string of accidents that plagued the races that week, killing three pilots.

All of the talking is pretty much over. Saturday night the battle between Floyd Mayweather Jr. and WBC Welterweight Champion Victor Ortiz takes place in Las Vegas at the MGM Grand.
Both fighters have a lot to lose going into the bout. The 34-year old Mayweather's 41-0 record is on the line. In addition, a huge fight with Manny Pacquiao looms on the horizon.
Ortiz is just now hitting his stride as a professional. Since a July 2009 TKO loss to Marcos Maidana, the 24-year old Ortiz has gone 5-0-1. That includes a career defining win over Andre Berto to claim the WBC belt in April of this year.
The fighters had one last chance to do a bit of promoting and trash talking at the fight's final press conference a couple of days ago.
Mayweather said he felt so confident that he was going to win that he wagered bets with Ortiz's promoter Oscar De La Hoya and Ortiz for $2.5 million apiece that he would win the fight.
No word on whether or not they actually accepted.

By now you have probably heard the rumor about Sarah Palin having an affair with former NBA player Glen Rice in 1987.
Sarah Palin and Glen Rice
A lot of people have weighed in with their opinion, but nobody has been as hilarious and raunchy as former boxing champ Mike Tyson, while talking about the alleged liaison.
Tyson was on Gridlock, an ESPN Radio show in Las Vegas yesterday (September 15), and the results are nothing short of pure comedy.
“Glen Rice is a wonderful man. He’s a wonderful guy,” Tyson said, “But you want her to be with somebody like [Dennis] Rodman getting up in there. Pushing her guts up in the back of her head. Glen Rice is a nice, mellow, docile man, non-threatening black guy — you want someone like Rodman — yeah baby let's get that donkey up in here now! Imagine Palin with a big old black stallion ripping — yeehaw!”
The champ was far from done.
"Everybody's gotta get that out of their system when they get out of college," he continued. "Every [white woman says] 'gotta get me a black man before I go out here and prosper in this white world.' And the black guys of course we gotta get some of them pink cheek before going back to the ghetto. Everybody's gotta get their share of love you know? Isn't that beautiful to hear that Palin got boned out by a black guy? She's not a bad person because she likes black people... at least in her."

Cassie has been away from the music scene for a while. In the five years since her last album dropped the music landscape has changed drastically.
The 25-year old beauty is ready to get things popping again with an upcoming single.
Cassie hit up 106 & Park yesterday (September 15) to talk about her the single "King Of Hearts."
“I don’t want to call it dance because it’s not dance, but it has a dance vibe if you want to say that. If we were in this room playing it right now, everybody would just be hanging from the lights," Cassie said. “[I've been] working with vocal coaches, working really, really, really hard ’cause this is really important to me and I have a lot of great records that I’m excited for everyone to hear.”
Cassie also spoke about working with Fabolous on the Mobb Deep "Shook Ones Pt II" sampled track "Radio" from the Bad Boy mixtape 'The Preview.'

L.A. Reid is about to make his first power moves as the head of Epic Records. A position he has held since July 2011.
According to the Hollywood Reporter, Reid is signing both Ciara and Outkast to the label.
Both acts are very familiar with Reid, who gave them their first recording contracts when he was CEO of LaFace Records.
The move would be especially good news for Ciara. The singer went public in February 2011 with her unhappiness at Jive Records -- even penning a letter asking for her release.
"It is true that I have asked and I pray that my label will release me," the statement read in part. "A release would allow me to go be creative with people who care and understand me as a artist. In a short time, I will be able to bring to you a new music energy and a visual excitement!"
Looks like Ciara's wish may have come true although no official announcement has been made yet.
