TI & The Game street brawl: rapper 'denies' gang-related fight & jokes about LAPD standoff, blames escalated violence on paparazzi 'snitch' [VIDEO]

Earlier this week, rappers TI and The Game were involved in an epic LAPD standoff in front of Hollywood's infamous Supperclub. As Mstars previously reported:

Warning - this street brawl video involving "associates" of rappers T.I. and The Game gets rather intense:

According to the infamous gossip webloid TMZ, the two hip-hop superstars were partying at LA's infamous Supperclub when the violent fight occurred. A group of men (identified as "mutual acquaintances") were denied access to the nightclub (while TI and The Game were already inside). The group began a heated argument with security, and eventually one of the wannabe partiers threw a punch at a bodyguard.

Two members of the rapper "posse" were violently attacked by security during the beat-down that quickly ensued.

Members of the LAPD were already at to the scene, including several off-duty officers. That's when TI and The Game got involved after exiting the club and seeing their buddies all bloody and battered...

They mistakenly thought that the cops beat-up their friends, which totally riled them up. Therfore, a heated rapper vs. LAPD standoff commenced. As TMZ reports, "it is intense and on the edge of erupting into violence."

Crazy stuff - but thankfully no one was arrested. The two injured guys were ultimately taken to a Hollywood police station, but no charges were filed.

No details if the brawl was gang-related, although readers can hear people yelling "Crips" and "Bloods" in the background - scary.

Apparently, TI doesn't want to talk about the violent ordeal. In fact, he doesn't really remember the fight actually happening:

Instead, TI jokes about the upcoming Pay-Per-View fight between boxers Mayweather vs. Maidana. If anyone's to blame for the rapper vs. LAPD "standoff," it's definitely the paparazzi snitches.

Some TMZ photogs managed to pester TI while he was leaving Beverly Hills' Mastro's restaurant on Wednesday evening (April 30).

Hey, at leas the "Blurred Lines" crooner can laugh about it all now!
