We're told Fiddy had been encouraging Ray to confront Fabolous about [url="http://www.tmz.com/2011/09/19/ray-j-fabolous-las-vegas-palms-power-106-radio-interview-twitter-feud-floyd-mayweather-fight-victor-ortiz/"][b]their recent Twitter feud[/b][/url] -- and Ray finally decided to get in Fab's face at Moon nightclub inside The Palms casino. In the clip, you can see 50 standing between Ray and Fabolous ... with a big ass grin. But we're told Fiddy actually jumped in to break things up when Ray J and Fab started scrapping. As we previously reported, Ray J was [url="http://www.tmz.com/2011/09/19/ray-j-fabolous-fight-twitter-feud-punch-face-video-footage-palms-casino-las-vegas-moon-nightclub-police-detained-kicked-out/"][b]booted from the club[/b][/url] after the fight -- but he was not arrested.

A rep for AKOO clothing tells TMZ, the company's sales soared by 25% in the last year ... while the rapper served time for drug possession. The company rep said they hadn't seen such a surge in popularity since T.I.'s MTV reality show "[b]Road to Redemption[/b]" premiered in 2009. The rep says they're preparing for another spike in sales -- when T.I. is set free next week after completing his drug sentence. So crime does pay?

Apparently Reby gave cops enough info for a search warrant, because when she returned home, the cops were there in force, having just ransacked the joint. She says that's when they threatened her with jail if she didn't answer even more questions. Reby tells us, she would have kept her mouth shut at the station if she knew police were accumulating evidence for the warrant -- adding, she "would never do anything to put [Matt] in a compromising position with the law."

And the saga continues. Last night G-Unit mogul 50 Cent phoned in to New York City's Hot 97 radio station giving a first hand account of this past weekend's incident involving rapper Fabolous and singer Ray J who got into a minor scuffle. The two artists have been a heavy topic of discussion after reports of an altercation between the men occurred in Las Vegas at the Palms hotel. In separate radio interviews Ray J followed by Fab recounted how the situation went down with each story fairing completely different than the other. On one end Ray J claims he socked Fab backstage after confronting the rapper about some previous jokes while Fab has maintained he was never touched. 50, a bystander throughout the entire event set the record straight on the incident. 50 Cent and boxer Floyd Mayweather took their celebratory spirit to the Palms to support rappers Jadakiss and Stlyes P who were sharing a bill with Fabolous at the luxurious casino. Fif and Floyd sectioned off a few balcony areas of the hotel inviting friends to hang out and enjoy the show. Following the LOX set, Fif and Floyd made a beeline backstage of the venue to chop it up with the Yonkers boys. According to 50, after a few words with Jada and SP, Fab appeared in the same corridor with Ray J close by when the singer immediately approached the Brooklyn rapper. "Ray J taps Fab on the shoulders and says 'I told you my peoples wasn't going to be happy about that' " 50 said of Ray J. "And Fab is looking at him like hes crazy cause he looking at me, 'cause Fab was saying wassup to me. He said 'Whoa, you lost your mind?' " 50 recalled Fab warning Ray J after the singer began to get testy, touching the rapper. Sharing similarities with Fabolous' story, 50 Cent also confirmed the MC was never harmed. "If he would have got punched in the face, Flex, Fab wouldn't have went onstage with no glasses" 50 recalled. When asked if Fabolous was punched, 50 bluntly responded "Nah he didn't. If he got punched in the face it ain't enough to call it a fight ... Ray J did swing at him but it didn't connect." "It was no fight, it was no swing" Fab confessed to DJ Clue the previous night. "This whole story that he made up, that Tupac rant about him swinging on somebody and all of that s--t is all lies. Its all, high on coke, on that Whitney. That's all on that Whitney last night. Ain't no swings take place. You can ask the Money Team. The Money Team was standing right there. Ask the Money Team that hes probably the water boy for" Fab joked referring to 50 and Floyd. Fabolous Responds To Ray-J's Allegations Following the brief encounter 50 says he personally separated Fab and his brother Paul Cain from persuing Ray J's taunts. Video footage released after the situation shows Ray J being escorted out of the Palms by Las Vegas police. Unlike Fabolous and Ray J, things were rosey this weekend for 50 Cent after his good friend Mayweather knocked out opponent Victor Ortiz in the fourth round of the title fight. Showing his gratitude towards 50, the boxer gave the bulky rapper a $20,000 Hublot watch after the fight. To hear the entire interview head over to thisis50.com.

Orly Hadida -- aka [b]Orly the Matchmaker[/b] -- claims 2 years ago she made a deal with Gayle to provide her with matchmaking services. According to the lawsuit, Orly waived her $500,000 fee, and in return Gayle promised to get Orly a guest spot on "Oprah." Orly alleges she spent hundreds of hours hooking Gayle up with 5 men -- all fabulous. Orly claims Gayle went on several dates with more than one of the men. According to the lawsuit, back in May Orly panicked, realizing Oprah's show was coming to a quick end. So she says she sent Gayle an email, saying since she clearly wasn't going to appear on Oprah she wanted to get paid. Gayle's rep had no comment.

MJ's blowout announcement for the "[b]This Is It[/b]" concerts. MJ held the news conference on March 5, 2009 ... announcing he would perform his last 10 concerts ever in London that summer ... insisting, "When I say this is it, it really means this is it." Murray's defense team filed legal docs, claiming the video shows Jackson was rapidly deteriorating, both mentally and physically, when he made the announcement. They're asking the judge for permission to show jurors the video, to prove Michael was literally on his last leg ... several months before his death. Murray's lawyers also think the video is relevant because Jackson was "adamant" about performing only 10 shows, and that subsequently adding 40 dates to the schedule may have been the straw that broke the camel's back.
