​These pictures are insane -- rapper Fabolous lived up to the phrase "make it rain" better than ANY rapper in recent memory this week ... unleashing a $28,000 downpour at an Atlanta strip club ... and we got the pics.

The moneystorm took place Wednesday night at a new strip joint called Diamonds -- where local radio personality Kenny Burns was throwing a party -- and shocker ... Fab brought along a truckload of cash.

Also making it precipitate -- comedian Kevin Hart, who we're told dropped $7,000 on butt-in-the-face action.

The cash tornado got so out of control -- a layer of money even settled on the club chandelier.

We're not worthy.

Rapper Fabolous got a record number of people wasted last weekend in Atlanta -- dropping $45,000 on 120 BOTTLES of champagne at a nightclub ... and it was all a favor for his good friend.

Sources tell TMZ, Fab bought the bottles of Rosé Moët as a present for his buddy -- who was celebrating his birthday at Club Compound in Atlanta last Saturday.

The bottles were delivered in a golden bath-shaped litter by club personnel -- you know, that wheelless carriage thing royalty travels in ... usually carried on the shoulders of their half-naked royal subjects.

According to sources, Fab was hosting the event -- and decided to show everyone in the club a good time by comping the endless flow of booze.

He be killin' em.

50 Cent is telling friends ... there's a reason he was laughing his ass off at Ray J and Fabolous -- their little Twitter feud was like a fight between two school girls.

We posted video of the Vegas "brawl," which shows Fiddy standing in the background grinning as Ray J and Fabolous went at it.

Sources close to Fiddy tell TMZ, contrary to what some witnesses are saying, the rapper didn't egg Ray J and Fabolous on.  He just couldn't believe they were seriously arguing over Twitter.

Days after the fight, Ray J was still taking himself way too seriously in Vegas -- telling us, "I'm not that proud of nothing that happened."



Fact is ... rapper feuds over Twitter kinda ruins the whole street cred thing.

So we ask ...

TMZ has obtained footage of the Vegas nightclub brawl between Ray J and Fabolous -- and the wildest part ... sources tell us, 50 Cent stirred up the whole thing.

We're told Fiddy had been encouraging Ray to confront Fabolous about their recent Twitter feud -- and Ray finally decided to get in Fab's face at Moon nightclub inside The Palms casino.

In the clip, you can see 50 standing between Ray and Fabolous ... with a big ass grin.

But we're told Fiddy actually jumped in to break things up when Ray J and Fab started scrapping.

As we previously reported, Ray J was booted from the club after the fight -- but he was not arrested.

It took several cops to pull Ray J out of a Vegas nightclub this weekend -- after the singer popped rapper Fabolous in the face -- and TMZ has obtained footage of the post-fight ejection.

Ray was hanging out at Moon nightclub in The Palms casino -- when a Twitter feud between him and Fab turned violent ... in person.

Ray says he was briefly detained by cops -- but as we previously reported, he was not arrested.

Ray J didn't take too kindly to Fabolous talking smack about him on Twitter, so when he saw him out in Las Vegas this weekend ... he clocked him!

Kim K's sex tape partner re-told the tale on Power 105.1 this morning, explaining, "When I seen him, I was with Floyd [Mayweather] and 50 [Cent] and he tried to say, 'Don't touch me.' And I touched that n***a!"

Ray J says he got kicked out of the Palms and detained by police, but according to cops in Vegas ... he was not arrested.

Who are the top five rappers of all time? Fabolous gave us his list -- and it's shockingly close to hip-hop king Harvey Levin's! WARNING: Please ignore the TMZ staffer who put Coolio on her list.

Hip hop heavy hitters Rick Ross, 34, Jay-Z , 40, and Fabolous, 32, refused to smile while attending an after party for the 2010 World Basketball Festival.
