T.I and Floyd Mayweather fight over wife

Rapper T.I took a swing at undefeated boxing Champion, Floyd Mayweather in Las Vegas, resulting in flying chairs, hostile words and injury of restaurant employee.

On early Sunday morning (May 25), the rapper approached Mayweather at a Burger place on the Las Vegas Strip and started to exchange hostile words over an Instagram photo that went viral.

It all started when T.I and his wife Tiny rocked up at Mayweather's party that was hosted at his mother's house. After much partying, a group photo was taken which was posted on Tiny's "majorgirl" Instagram account.
T.I was clearly not impressed with what went down that night, (whatever it was), because after that, it was ON like Donkey Kong.

In an exclusive interview, Mayweather told Entertainment Reporter, Necole Bitchie, "I been knowing Tiny before T.I. I’ve never slept with her, I never kissed her, never touched her in no inappropriate way. Her friend Shekinah wanted to come to the [May 4th] fight, she brought Tiny with her. They came to the fight.

After the fight was over Saturday night, Sunday they came over my mother’s house. My mother had a big, big party for me. They came over and showed love. They came over to my house all cool, all respect. Hang out with The Money Team, my crew. Everybody was cordial. No disrespecting type. After that, I guess she put a picture up on Instagram of her at the fight so I guess he [T.I.] was feeling some type of way."

A couple of words were exchanged at Fatburger, T.I took a swing at Mayweather, and a riot broke out.

Mayweather: “Listen, don’t come to my face with no disrespectful sh-t. Like I told you before, you must’ve forgot what I did for a living.”

T.I:  “You do in the ring, I do it in the streets.” I said, “My man, I do it everywhere. You can find out if you want to.” Just like that.

Bodyguards for T.I. and Mayweather stepped in - and the two celebrities left the scene before police arrived.
