A brief feud between Fabolous and Soulja Boy, which started on Twitter, has been resolved on the radio waves of New York City.

DJ Clue of Power 105 in New York conducted a brief interview where the two men settled their differences.

The entire incident started after Soulja Boy was allegedly caught in a tryst with Kat Stack, who said the young rapper was snorting cocaine. The vixen also showed a plate of the illegal drug in an online video.

After the video went viral, Fabolous took to his Twitter with commentary that used humorous lingo “#stupidboyswag,” a play off Soulja Boy’s hit “Pretty Boy Swag.”

“I thought that he was taking shots at me, when it was just jokes. It was a misunderstanding, a mis-communication,” Soulja Boy said on the radio on Wednesday night. “I’m about making money.”

Fabolous was brief and agreed with his younger counterpart.

“We’re not trying to make a LeBron special…we smoothed it out and back to the money,” he said. “I know people thought it was going to be a [Manny] Pacquiao fight, but we sat down like bosses.

During the interview, DJ Clue said that the pair had exchanged information so that there would be no more misunderstandings.

A Memphis family hired rapper Kia Shine to perform at a Sweet 16 party only to charge later that the rapper had spoiled the affair by being hours after most party-goers had left.

Victoria Allen, the mother of daughter Latranae, planned a Sweet 16 celebration a year in advance with friends, limo, a new car and rapper Kia Shine. Allen alleges the event would have been perfect if Shine had not been hours late and performed a far shorter set that agreed upon.

Allen says she paid Kia Shine $1,000 up front to perform at least 20 minutes.

“I was like, that would be cool to have a local rapper from Memphis to be the spotlight and special guest at her special event,” Allen said to wreg.com. “Everything was perfect, til it got to the entertainment. And when I say entertainment, I’m talking about the artist Kia Shine.”

In addition to his fee, Allen says she paid for a stage, high quality microphones, and a sound system that also cost $1,000.

Shine was expected to perform about 9 pm when the party had about 150 teenagers celebrating Latranae’s birthday.

After contacting Shine, Allen said the times continuously changed until he arrived at 11:45 pm with about 15 kids in front of him. Furthermore, he reportedly performed slightly over 5 minutes.

Allen wants her money back, but Kia Shine defended his actions to WREG.

Kia Shine told WREG, “Contractually Kia Shine showed up, Kia Shine performed, Kia Shine did exactly what he was supposed to do.”

He also said that Allen was partially to blame for the incident.

“Her mother had the opportunity, to say ‘Hey Shine, if you’re not going to be here at 9, 9:30, 10 or whatever, then just don’t come.’ And then fine, I wouldn’t have come and her money would have been refunded back to her completely without any issues,” Shine said.

He said he would be willing to give back half of money, because of the truncated performance, but would keep $500.

BET aired its first ever original music documentary special, My Mic Sounds Nice: A Truth About Women In Hip Hop – a new film directed and executive produced by Ava DuVernay, taking an in-depth look at the role of female rappers in Hip Hop.

Haiti hip-hop star Wyclef Jean is not on the list of approved candidates who satisfy legal requirements to run in the country’s Nov. 28 presidential election, an electoral official said Thursday.

The presidential bid by the 40-year-old singer-songwriter and international celebrity had triggered widespread enthusiasm in his poor, earthquake-ravaged Caribbean homeland. But it had been challenged on the grounds he did not fully meet the requirements, including a key one on Haitian residency.

“He is not on the list as I speak,” the electoral official, a member of the country’s provisional electoral council who asked not to be identified, told Reuters.

He said the electoral disputes bureau entrusted with settling challenges to candidates had ruled that Jean did not meet several legal requirements, but he gave no more details.

The provisional electoral council was due to formally publish Friday the full list of approved candidates to run in the election to choose a successor to President Rene Preval, who cannot seek re-election after two terms in office.

Contacted by Reuters, Jean declined to make any immediate comment, saying he had not been officially notified of any decision and would try to confirm the information.

Earlier, he met President Preval. A photo of them meeting, both smiling, was posted by Jean on his Twitter account.

Just hours after DMX was released from LA County lockup yesterday, he was pulled over by cops on Sunset Blvd. for a minor traffic violation.

According to TMZ, the rapper was coming from a recording studio around 11:20 p.m. when police stopped his rented Mercedes-Benz on Sunset Blvd for a minor traffic violation.

Once officers asked for X’s information, they learned that he didn’t have a valid driver’s license, the website reported.

DMX wasn’t taken into custody, but he was issued a citation and is due to appear in court sometime in the near future. According to TMZ, cops allowed a passenger in the car to drive the rapper home.

DMX was released from jail Thursday after serving 18 days of a 90-day sentence stemming from a reckless driving conviction in 2002.
