First Ray J said he “socked” Fabolous after the two feuded over a few wisecracks the rapper made about the singer on Twitter. Then Fab responded by branding Brandy’s little brother “Little Red Riding Hood.” So naturally, TMZ.com has stepped in with footage that shows that there was — in fact — fisticuffs between the two after the Mayweather/Ortiz fight in Las Vegas last weekend.
And as it turns out, 50 Cent stirred up the whole damn thing.

In case you haven’t heard, the Mayweather vs. Ortiz wasn’t the only Battle Royale going down in Las Vegas over the weekend. Singer-turned-VH1 1 reality star Ray J (formerly known as “Ain’t That Brandy’s Brother?”) was kicked out of The Palms on the Sin City strip over the weekend after an alleged brawl with rapper Fabolous.
Fab’s not talking, but per Ray J’s account during an interview with Power 105.1′s “The Breakfast Club” on Monday, All Hades Broke Loose after the singer and the emcee came face-to-face for the first time since trading barbs with one another in an bitter Twitter war that erupted online last week.
So just what started the drama? This Tweet that Fab sent out on Sept. 17: “Nah but Floyd saying we havin a concert in my living room & the camera cuts to Ray J singing “One Wish” on the piano had me in tears!!” the “Breathe” rapper wrote, allegedly setting off the beef with Ray J. “Get it..? Ray J concert in the living room!! *Lil Wayne voice*”
