Rapper Jim Jones got into a big ol’ brawl Friday night in Connecticut which resulted in him getting arrested, but not before it took five cops and a little bit of mace to subdue him, according to reports.
The fight (scroll down to see the video) went down inside the casino after a party hosted by Diddy at the MGM Grand at Foxwoods. Including Jones, a total of 5 people have been charged. Here’s what TMZ is reporting:
Sources say a guy, who seemed intoxicated, came up to Jones and started talking smack to him, which Jones tried to ignore.
According to our sources, the guy then hit Jones in the face and Jones fought back in self defense. Then the guy’s friends jumped in … then Jim’s people jumped in … and IT WAS ON!!!
We’re told Jones had no idea who the guy was or what triggered his beef with Jones.
Jones, 35, was charged with resisting arrest for an alleged assault on an officer and breach of peace, state police spokesman Lt. J. Paul Vance said. The other four people arrested faced charges including inciting to riot.
Vance said he was not certain how the altercation began.
Jones said on Twitter that he posted $40,000 in bond, adding later Saturday: “This is gettin blown way out of proportion.”
According to TMZ, Jones had no further comment and neither did the hotel.

As first reported by HumorMillMag.com Saturday night, used-to-be-funnyman Katt Williams got so belligerent toward the crowd at his own comedy show, the club had to kick him out — and then called the cops on him when he tried to get back in!
Here’s what tmz is reporting:
Katt was scheduled to perform two shows at the Improv in Ontario, CA last night — but according to our witnesses, he got tossed from the 8:00 PM show and the 9:30 PM show was cancelled.
In crappy amateur video that you can hardly see here, Katt is being escorted out by police and trying to explain what happened to the crowd outside waiting for the second show. They did not seemed pleased.
Katt was scheduled to perform Sunday night as well, but he has since been removed from the Improv’s website.

Maybe you feel confused by the headline a little. Well, I’m going to clear that up for you. Think about it! When I said “Man shoots at cops…”, where did your mind go?
Nivea got a lil too tipsy at the open bar during the wedding reception and wrecked her car trying to drove home.
Severely impaired by her alcohol consumption, Nivea swerved and hit a tree last night, almost totaling her vehicle. The GOOD news is… she wasn’t injured.
The BAD news is…. she was arrested for DUI!!!!
Nivea decided it would be a bright idea to call the cops to report her one car accident and upon their arrival, authorities couldn’t overlook the fact that she was under the influence.
So instead of just filing a report, cops took Nivea into custody. So expect a mugshot to turn up pretty soon….
