Rapper T.I. and professional boxer Floyd Mayweather Jr. were involved in a brawl late Saturday night on the Vegas strip.
According to reports, 37-year-old Floyd was sitting in a Fatburger hamburger joint when T.I. walked up and attempted to take a swing at the boxer.
Bodyguards from both sides got involved in the altercation in an attempt to separate the two men at which point the boxing champion and the recording artist began exchanging words.

T.I.'s wife, Tameka "Tiny" Cottle, seemed to be at the center of the feud and according to Mayweather, who came forward after the argument, it began in early May when Tiny posted a picture of herself and the boxer on Instagram.
Reportedly, after T.I. saw the Instagram, he confronted Mayweather about the relationship he has with the singer's wife.
Although Mayweather assured T.I. that he and Tiny were simply friends, T.I.'s insecurities once more seemed to surface over the last weekend when Tiny released a second photo on Instagram of herself with Mayweather's 14-year-old daughter.
The rapper's hubby captioned the photo: "Had to come celebrate with my new boo @moneyyaya Happy Birthday bae."
It was after the second photo came out that T.I. approached Mayweather at the Fatburger in Las Vegas and the altercation ensued.
Police were called to the scene and reports state that at least one man suffered minor injuries in the scuffle although no further details have been provided as to the identity of the victim or his relationship to either T.I. or Mayweather.
The incident comes less than a month after Mayweather's successful bout against Marcos Maidana. Boxing fans are waiting to see who Mayweather's next opponent will be.
Whether it is a rematch with Maidana or even a fight with Filipino boxing champ Manny Pacquiao, it's too soon to say but once the news is released attention should be drawn away from this last weekend's incident and back on Mayweather's already stellar career.
