Faizon Love and Katt Williams probably won't be visiting each other over the holidays. That's because Katt allegedly pulled a gun on Faizon during an argument Tuesday night.

The two comedians/actors got into a heated argument over a $50,000 debt Katt owes Faizon when the incident occurred outside of the Supper Club in Hollywood.

"Once the argument escalated, Katt went to his car to go get his gun to pull it out on me," Faizon told TMZ. “Fortunately, one of my homeboys who was there took the gun out of Katt's hands. Come to find out the gun he pulled out on me was not even loaded. My homeboy gave it back to him, then we went in the club.”


The police were called and Katt, along with two of his friends were taken into custody when the gun was found in his car. Katt and one friend were later released. One of the men, however, remained incarcerated for charges stemming from a traffic warrant.

Police say the gun was unregistered. They are still trying to find out who it belongs to.

Faizon said Katt needs to check himself.

“I am just extremely upset that his punk a$$ would pull a gun out on me and even play with me like that. He better chill his a$$ out."

Brick Squad Monopoly leader Waka Flocka Flame recently sat down with Montreality to chop it up about a wide variety of topics.

Waka discusses his fetishes, biggest fear, last meal of choice, cities he's banned from, his passion for basketball and how getting shot in 2010 saved his life.

"Honestly, I thank God that I got shot," Waka said. "Me getting shot was like the best thing that ever happened to me in my life. Because it really taught me how to open your eyes and don't take sh*t for granted. And it made me say f*ck my old life because it's like I got baptized when I got shot. It was like I was born again. It's like I was born to f*cking rap. It made me even wiser and more cautious. Deadlier too at the same time, like venom. Mentally it just made me a monster."

Waka also spoke on the beef between his good friend Gucci Mane and Young Jeezy.

"I can't tell Jeezy or Gucci to keep fighting, stop fighting. Me talking to them is worthless," Waka explained. "Those guys is grown. That's what they got going on, I'm Waka Flocka."

Chief Keef may face possible jail time over a controversial video he shot for Pitchfork that showed him at a gun range. Chicago prosecutors argued yesterday that he violated his probation in the video according to Rolling Stone.

Keef, real name, Keith Cozart, is on 18-months probation for pointing a gun at a Chicago cop. As a result he is prohibited from having any firearms or illegal drugs or associating with gang members.

Cook County prosecutors say that because he can be seen holding a firearm in the video he violated his probation. They also point to a September 30th incident when Chicago police found Keef with members of the Black Disciple gang while responding to a call of gang disturbance. Keef also failed to earn his GED by the deadline set by his probation.

Keef is due back in court on November 30th.

Pitchfork has since pulled the video in response to rapper Lil Jojo's shooting death last month.

Jojo and Keef had been beefing before Jojo was killed.

(Sincere Gubano):

They feedin' off of my energy
But I grew up off that do or die listen to me, to me
Give a f*** about you, could give a s*** about anything
I remember who was down when I didn't have anything

My enemies around, around, around
The world is turning 'round, around, around
So here we go around, around, around
My enemies around, around, around

You say you harder than hennessey
Don't talk about it, be about it we gonna really see
When you' runnin' from a silver bullet stray from yo enemy
They don't wanna see you win or make your legacy history

My enemies around, around, around
My homies is around, around, around
The world is turning 'round, around, around
My enemies around, around, around

(DJ Fadelf):

You never given me anything
But a bunch of lies and scrutiny, expecting the best of me
It's funny how the tables turned and now I've got everything
Befriended everyone I know 'cause you want to get to me
My enemies...

50 Cent is getting fed up with the direction the hip hop industry is headed in. Fif took to Twitter to take shots at Rick Ross and new rappers who are unoriginal.

"Hip hop has been damaged by fake fraudulent artist who just say anything.now it seems like authenticity means nothing," 50 wrote on the social networking site. "The culture is so confused a gangsta is bobbing to a cop LMAO think about it. It's just the facts. I'm not impressed by some of the new artist it feels like nothings new stop following trends be your self. Rappers write cars, money, big house, big shot talk. The truth is they ain't got it man for real."

The G-Unit boss said that because of Chris Lighty's passing he is now managing himself and won't rush the release of Street King Immortal. He also issued a warning to any rapper that wants to step up and test him because the music on the album is just that good.

"Every artist that puts them selves in direct competition with me will suffer due to how well Street King Immortal is put together. Watch the fools who decide to question my talent. Find them selves over whelmed by this album"
