Chaka Zulu's Statement On T.I. Scuffle
Regarding the altercation between T.I. and DTP Executive, Chaka Zulu, Zulu has released the following statement:
DTP Record Executive Chaka Zulu was involved in a physical altercation during a special private luncheon held in Hollywood, CA on Sunday, June 24, 2007. In the mid-afternoon, Zulu was approached by rapper T.I. at the Kevin Liles hosted event and after an unprovoked attack from the rapper, was forced to defend himself. Both Zulu and T.I. escaped major injury. Says Chaka Zulu, "its a shame that things like this continue to happen especially with the backdrop of an event that was about benevolence and charitable works. I'm thankful that all issues have been resolved." Chaka Zulu is officially a co-Founder/CEO of Disturbing Tha Peace Records (Bobby Valentino, Chingy, Steph Jones, Shareefa) and manager of Grammy Award winner and critically acclaimed actor Chris "Ludacris" Bridges.
T.I. reportedly punched Ludacris's manager Chaka Zulu Sunday in Los Angeles, after a verbal altercation at Kevin Liles' "Make It Happen" power brunch. A short fight ensued, but both parties emerged largely unharmed. For years, T.I. and Ludacris were said to be enemies both on and off the mic, though their beef was reportedly settled in recent months. T.I.'s camp has said a statement on this matter is coming soon.

EBONY (BLACK) says:
I MUST RESPOND TO ANY DEALINGS WITH T.I. HE IS AN OUTSTANDING RAPPER/HIP-HOP ARTIST AND IS TRUE WHEN HE PROCLAIMS THAT HE IS BATTLING HIMSELF. HE KNOWS THAT HE HAS EMOTIONAL ISSUES THAT MUST BE RESOLVED, AND BECAUSE HE IS NOT OBLIVIOUS OF THAT FACT, HE MANNED UP AND APOLOGIZED FOR HIS ACTIONS.
FOREVER I LOVE T.I. AND T.I.P.

wait? Hat tha HELL?
T.I is my boy right but he can't be going like that. I think that he and Luda should write a song together and I bet tha they both make popping cause we all know tha big things poppin and lil things stopping. and their brawl is a lil thing.

Luda and TI are on different levels when it comes to rap. T.I. is only street with it. Luda can rap about anything. Luda has his own style and make much better videos than T.I. It's room for both of them

Twilla says:
I believe that T.I. and Ludacris are both talented men. It is such a shame that the representation showed is so poor, yes, there may be issues, as they come with everything. However, with issues there should also come maturity. We ack like this and then we wonder why hip hop is blamed for other things that happen in this world. Step be real men and make a difference together and then you can say we have prospered!!

Hey WILL, you are a distinguish black man 4 real. This stupid celebrities ain't seeing the shame they are bringing down on the BLACK race. Who the F***k is that lame a** T.I. anyway. That piece of a man refused to realise his fake step, amend his ways and REPENT in his growth. Do you ever see white celebrities have all this retard beff thing??? What the hell is wrong with us? Are we cursed or what? You will never see Justin Timberlake going Kung- Fu on Eminem for singing with Snoop Dogg! It is high time for all these lil' kids to start respecting their elders in the game, instead of raining uncultured insults on them to be famous. Look @ Lil' Wayne going against Jigga? That boy needs to be spank in the PUBLIC.

Pops says:
Luda is wack now and Luda restarted this whole beef with the song "War With God." Then he goes and punks out and says the song was about him when errbody and they mama know he was talkin about Tip. This should be a good rap beef. I would say that TI has the advantage because he has the streets and Luda went POP along time ago. Plus he lost me with that fake "Brenda's Got Baby" garbage.

jamika says:
I think they need to squash this beef. This could have been avoided if chaka would have kept his mouth shut and t.i. would have been the stand up guy and walked away. But, we all know what they say easier said than done. Its two sides to every story. Regardless T.I. still get my support and love he is 1 of the biggest rappers right now reppin for ATL.(da south) Luda in needs to get in charge of his camp.

You know what? This is gonna heat Luda up to get ready and break down the T I P to the D I P cause once it's said and done Luda gon eat dat boy (T.I.), and the next thing you know LUDACRIS is gonna have another mult-million dollar album just cause t i p had to go and do this bull*^%$ and hit his manager. Didn't T I get knocked the F*%$ out by Lil Flip's peoples a year or so ago??????? This is some bull either way you go. Why can't the "KIDS" begin to GROW UP!!!!!! We have enough to worry about with the everyday street violence that's running rampant in the "BLACK COMMUNITY" now we hear about it in the BLACK Celebrities circle...... We have got to do better, and respect one another. We have no UNITY, LOVE OR RESPECT IN THE BLACK COMMUNITY!!!!!!! HOLLA IF YA HEAR ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

denny says:
he's so stupid to have jumed on chaka.. really how can he call him self the king and still be behaving so childish.. h's a father of 4 or 5 and still acting like a dummy.. luda is way more mature than this dude and i'll always respect luda cos he's humble and intelligent. god he's just being mad over sme grammy shit.. he should go drink soda or get his mouth closed up by somebody else.. am tired of grown ass people who are supposed to be lecturing the kids behaving like amatures.. Luda won the best album if u're reading fool and there's nothing u can do about it.. quit acting like a dumb ass fool..

T I needs to sit down and grow up he has to many kids to be going around and acting like one because he did not get the grammy award. It is not Luda's fault he did make those people give him the grammy. Why don't he go and try and start some beef with them and see how faar he gets.
