T.I. Brawls with Ludacris' Manager

Rapper T.I. was involved in a fight outside of the Sunset Tower Hotel in West Hollywood, CA on Sunday afternoon during a luncheon hosted by Kevin Liles of Warner Music Group. The "Make It Happen" luncheon was interrupted by the late arrival of Ludacris and his manager Chaka Zulu, when moments later, T.I. punched Zulu in the face—according to the manager, completely unprovoked.

"It's a shame that things like this continue to happen," says Zulu, "Especially with the backdrop of an event that was about benevolence and charitable works. I'm thankful that all issues have been resolved."

The Atlanta rapper's new record T.I. vs. T.I.P. will be out, conveniently, on July 3. We can't help but wonder if this is yet another rapper's misguided attempt at gaining the media's attention with violence. We hope not, though.
