J. Cole Stopped Diddy From Stepping To Kendrick Lamar Over "Control" Verse?

This J. Cole vs. Sean "Diddy" Combs fiasco only is only getting crazier as more details are revealed. Reportedly, the entire fracas popped off because an inebriated Diddy wanted to confront Kendrick Lamar over his "Control" verse.

What we know for sure is that Diddy, and Jay Z, hosted a MTV VMA's afterparty at the Dream Downtown in NYC on Sunday, August 25. Both Kendrick Lamar and J. Cole, as well as artists like Timbaland and French Montana, we in attendance. After that is when the various accounts start getting dicey.

Initial reports were that the Bad Boy founder and Roc Nation rapper got into an altercation, with witnesses saying that the latter made some "inappropriate" remarks to the former and his girlfriend Cassie that led to pushing and shoving. Both Cole and Diddy took to Twitter to say not to believe what was being written, though Mr. Combs did acknowledge that he and the North Carolina MC were yelling at each other.

Now Complex reports that the altercation started because Diddy wanted to step to Kendrick Lamar about "Control," where he claims he is the new "King Of New York." Their sources say Diddy was drunk and attempted to pour a drink of K. Dot's head before Cole tried to stop him. This is allegedly caused the two to begin arguing which escalated when Cole supposedly put his hands on Diddy.

Got that?

Clearly, the only people that know what really happened are J. Cole and Sean "Diddy" Combs. Also, whoever was in the vicinity with a camera phone let us all down.

Lil Scrappy Arrested After Fight At An Atlanta Gas Station "I Had To Lay Them Paws On Him"

Lil Scrappy ran afoul of the law again Tuesday (August 27). The Love & Hip Hop star was arrested at a gas station after getting into a fight with a man he said disrespected his girlfriend, according to TMZ.

An off duty cop happened to be outside the station when someone called 911 about a brawl around 2:30 AM. The officer was able to separate Scrappy and the other man, identified as Kenny Rogers.

Both men were arrested for disorderly conduct and taken to a nearby police station. The rapper was released the same day.

"He was calling my girlfriend names and then put his hands on me. So I had to lay them paws on him," Scrappy told TMZ.

The rapper's lawyer, Mawuli Mel Davis, says there is video proof that his client was acting in self defense.

Scrappy, who is already on on probation stemming from a 2008 felony marijuana and gun possession case, went to jail in March after an arrest warrant was issued when he refused to submit a new urine test following a dispute over the first one. When he went back to court in May, he tested positive for marijuana.

He subsequently checked into rehab for an addiction to weed.
