Fights

Days after being released from federal custody, rapper T.I. grabbed a mic inside an Atlanta nightclub this weekend and BEGGED Diddy to chill out ... after the mogul threatened to get violent with a man in the crowd.

It all went down at the BET Hip Hop Awards Weekend after-party at Compound nightclub -- when Diddy, a spokesman for Ciroc Vodka, spotted someone drinking a rival liquor.

Diddy began shouting at the man, "B*tch ass n**gas ... put that sh*t down ... before I come smack that purple shirt off your ass."

It appears Diddy grabs ice and throws it at the man ... before screaming, "What the f**k are you gonna do, b*tch? F**king f*ggot ass light skin n**gas get the f*ck out of my face."

That's when T.I. -- who's still on probation stemming from a gun arrest -- grabbed another microphone and pleaded with Diddy, "I done paid enough time ... and nobody else in this motherf**ker [who is] talking about fighting done did no time."

He then told Diddy, "Let them n**gas drink what the f**k they want man."

He added, "I love you n**ga ... you know I will go to war with you, but come on man ... let's go."

Waka Flocka was ruthlessly coldcocked Thursday night -- after a massive brawl broke out at the rapper's charity bowling event in Atlanta.

According to sources, the fight was over money -- the guy who throws the first punch is one of Waka's former proteges. He accused Waka of owing him cash.

Waka's rep tells TMZ, the rapper was trying to do a good thing for his community and got ambushed. Although Waka chases the guy down and his posse beats the dude up, Waka's rep says he was just defending himself.

George Clooney is doing something he almost never does -- commenting about a report on his romantic life ... in particular, one that claims his ex-gf sent him angry text messages about his new gf.

The report in the current issue of US Weekly ... claims Elisabetta Canalis fired off a series of angry texts to George when she found out he was dating Stacy Keibler.

But George tells TMZ, the story "was completely fabricated in order to sell magazines. I never comment on my personal life unless it affects others...and this lie affects others."

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.

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 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.

Nancy Grace is perplexed that Ryan O'Neal dropped out of "Dancing with the Stars" because of her, telling TMZ, she never said anything bad about him.

Sources directly connected to Ryan tell us ... the actor was all set to do DWTS but dropped out because Nancy has said bad things about his son Redmond, who has had chronic drug problems, and also suggested he was a bad parent.

But Grace tells TMZ, "We have never covered Mr. O'Neal nor his family on our show," adding, "I hate that he dropped out of DWTS; I would have loved to compete with him and wish him the very best."

Grace says she considers O'Neal to be one of the great actors of our time and she finds his relationship with Farrah Fawcett "an inspiration to me."

Bam Margera was detained by police early yesterday morning outside a biker bar in NYC -- after the "Jackass" star allegedly got into a punching match with a cab driver ... then kicked in his car door.

An eyewitness tells TMZ it all went down outside the famous Hogs & Heifers Saloon. He saw Bam and his friend attack the driver through the car window, so he flagged down cops. We're told Bam walked away ... but the officers caught up to him.

Bam tells a different story. According the him, the cabbie started the whole thing by calling his lady friend a "slut." Bam says the girl spat at the driver, who in turn grabbed her hair. Bam says he then dove into the car and began punching on the guy.

Bam acknowledges the cops showed up "but couldn't figure out who to arrest," so everyone walked away ... free to do it again.

Ryan O'Neal said he backed out of "Dancing with the Stars" because of a bad knee, but multiple sources connected with the show tell TMZ ... he REALLY backed out because he can't stand Nancy Grace.

Sources tell TMZ O'Neal feels Grace has been "disrespectful" to his family ... claiming she has gone after Redmond, who has had ongoing drug problems, and even suggested the reason Redmond is messed up is because Ryan is a bad parent.

According to Rego, two other members of the show -- Graham Bunn and Blake Julian -- had gotten into an argument ... and it started to become physical.

Breyon Williams tells us he was trying to shoot video of R&B singer Mario outside Colony early Tuesday morning -- when Game approached them. In the video ... you can see and hear that Game and his posse want the camera turned on him.

Williams tries to explain he will interview Game right after Mario ... but Game gets pissed, when Williams says, "He [Mario] don't want to help you." Game spins right into the camera lens and yells, "N***a, help me?" Then someone hits Williams and/or his camera -- and the camera cuts off.
