Simmons posted an Instagram video Thursday morning, September 22, promoting his upcoming interview with Hot 97.
In the caption he said he was going to mediate the conflict.
"Happy to announce Game & Meek Mill have stopped posting and escalating their beef. Both are heroes to me and A list rappers," Simmons wrote. "Scheduling a meeting w these 2 industry giants. Game and I recently attended rally's and meetings regarding police and community and I got to know Meek better on phone last night and he is now a real A list inspiration to me."
It didn't take long for The Game's manager, Wack 100, to respond.
"Hey Russel stay in your muthafucking Lane you don't dictate or have a voice in Wtf we doing over here," Wack captioned a photo of Simmons. "When's the last time you reached down to sign a urban artist ? Whatever you and @meekmill is talking about during your Yoga sessions is y'all business !!

Brad Pitt is being investigated for allegedly getting physically and verbally abusive with one his and Angelina Jolie's children during a flight last Wednesday, September 14.
The accusation led to Jolie filing for divorce Monday, September 19, from her husband of two years.
PEOPLE reports that the incident in question happened on the couple's private jet. Pitt is said to have been intoxicated at the time.
Someone anonymously reported what happened, sparking an investigation by the L.A. County Department of Children and Family Services.
"The DCFS investigation is absolutely ongoing," a source told PEOPLE. "Brad has been interviewed and is cooperating fully. The case remains open."
A source close to Pitt told TMZ, "He takes the matter very seriously and says he did not commit any abuse of his children," adding, "It's unfortunate that people involved are continuing to present him in the worst possible light."
Jolie and Pitt were married in 2014, but have been together for 12 years. They have six children - Maddox, 15, Pax, 12, Zahara, 11, Shiloh, 10, and twins Knox and Vivienne, 8.
Jolie cited irreconcilable differences in her divorce documents. She is seeking sole physical custody of the children.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — Streets appeared calm early Thursday in downtown Charlotte after a second night of violent protests over the deadly police shooting of a black man, although at least three major businesses were asking their employees to stay home for the day as the city remained on edge.
Bank of America, Wells Fargo and Duke Energy all told employees not to venture into North Carolina's largest city after Gov. Pat McCrory declared a state of emergency Wednesday night and called in the National Guard after Charlotte's police chief said he needed the help. The North Carolina National Guard arrived at a Charlotte armory early Thursday and Guard vehicles left the armory about 8 a.m.

Federal help also is on the way, with the Justice Department sending to Charlotte a team of trained peacekeepers designed to help resolve community conflict. The department's Community Relations Service has been deployed to other cities roiled by tense flare-ups between police and residents.
Meanwhile, Mayor Jennifer Roberts told ABC's "Good Morning America" on Thursday that city officials are talking about imposing a curfew.
Anger has continued to build over the shooting of 43-year-old Keith Lamont Scott by a black police officer on Tuesday afternoon and the wildly different accounts about what happened from authorities and Scott's family and neighbors.
A peaceful prayer vigil turned into an angry march and then a night of violence after a protester was shot and critically wounded as people charged police in riot gear trying to protect an upscale hotel in Charlotte's typically vibrant downtown. Police did not shoot the man, city officials said.

STORY: https://t.co/AgPX1CyHGG pic.twitter.com/aJEcaiQrzf
Video obtained and verified by The Associated Press, which was recorded right after the shooting, shows someone lying in a pool of blood as people scream and a voice yells for someone to call for help. People are then told to back up from the scene.
The unrest took many by surprise in Charlotte, the banking capital of the South with a population of 830,000 people, about 35 percent of them black. The city managed to pull through a racially charged shooting three years ago without the unrest that erupted in recent years in places such as Baltimore, Milwaukee and Ferguson, Missouri.
In 2013, Charlotte police charged one of their own, Randall Kerrick with voluntary manslaughter within days, after the white officer shot an unarmed black man who had been in a wreck and was looking for help. The jury deadlocked and the charge was dropped last summer. The city saw a few protests but no violence.
On Wednesday, hundreds of protesters who were shouting "black lives matter" and "hands up, don't shoot" left after police fired flash grenades and tear gas after the shooting. But several groups of a dozen or more protesters stayed behind, attacking people, including reporters, shattering windows to hotels, office buildings and restaurants and setting small fires. The NASCAR Hall of Fame was among the places damaged.
At one point, television news helicopters showed protesters on the loop highway around downtown, trying to stop cars for several minutes before police arrived.
"My heart bleeds for what our great city is going through," McCrory said on WBTV-TV. He was mayor of Charlotte for 14 years before becoming governor.
Authorities said three people and four police officers were injured. Videos and pictures on Twitter showed reporters and other people being attacked.
The violence happened amid questions about what happened when Scott was shot and killed in the parking lot of his condominium complex. Police did not release dashboard or body camera footage, but said Scott had a gun and refused several orders to drop his weapon. Scott's family and neighbors said he was holding a book.
"He got out of his car, he walked back to comply, and all his compliance did was get him murdered," said Taheshia Williams, whose balcony overlooks the shady parking spot where Scott was Tuesday afternoon. She said he often waited there for his son because a bicycle accident several years ago left him stuttering and susceptible to seizures if he stayed out in the hot sun too long.
Charlotte Police Chief Kerr Putney was angered by the stories on social media, especially a profanity-laced, hourlong video on Facebook, where a woman identifying herself as Scott's daughter screamed "My daddy is dead!" at officers at the shooting scene and repeating that he was only holding a book.
Putney was adamant that Scott posed a threat, even if he didn't point his weapon at officers, and said a gun was found next to the dead man. "I can tell you we did not find a book," the chief said.
Not long after the Facebook video was posted Tuesday night, the first night of destructive protests began near the shooting scene, about 15 miles northeast of downtown Charlotte. Dozens of demonstrators threw rocks at police and reporters, damaged squad cars, closed part of Interstate 85, and looted a stopped truck and set a fire. Authorities used tear gas to break up the protests.
The distrust of police continued after Wednesday's shooting of the protester. Many demonstrators did not believe city officials' assertion that officers did not shot the protester.

"We protesting. Why the hell would we target each other?" Dino Davis said. "They say it was the tear gas, and it looked like one the tear gas exploded. But I think it was a rubber bullet because some of those rubber bullets can penetrate."
Police said the plainsclothes officer who shot Scott, identified as Brently Vinson, has been placed on leave, standard procedure in such cases. Three uniformed officers at the shooting scene had body cameras; Vinson did not, police said.

Calls for police to release the video increased. North Carolina has a law that takes effect Oct. 1 requiring a judge to approve releasing police video, and Putney said he doesn't release video when a criminal investigation is ongoing.
Chief Putney: I am going to be very intentional about protecting the integrity of the investigation, won't release video until reason to

But that video may be the only thing that calms Charlotte, said John Barnett, who runs a civil rights group called True Healing Under God, or THUG.

We're very sad to report that Shawty Lo has passed away at the age of 40.
The Atlanta Constitution Journal reports that Lo, born Carlos Walker, died in a car accident in Atlanta Wednesday morning, September 21.
Lo was ejected from his white Audi when it went over a guardrail, hit two trees and burst into flames. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
Two passengers in the vehicle were injured. They were taken to a local hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
It was initially reported that Lo was the victim of a hit-and-run incident, but Fulton police spokeswoman, Cpl. Maureen Smith, told the Journal “it has been confirmed now that it was a single car accident,”
My brother has passed he is no longer here but his spirit, his kind heart , and his music will live on Long live Shawty Lo King of Bankhead
