Tiny took a picture with the boxer during the festivities, and posted the image for all to see on Instagram. However, T.I seemed to have a problem with the images.

"After that, I guess she put a picture up on Instagram of her at the fight so I guess he [T.I.] was feeling some type of way. [T.I] came to me when I was in New York," Mayweather told blogger Necole Kane. "He stepped to me when I was at the jewelery store like, 'Yo, let's go outside and talk.' We went outside to talk, but he talked about, basically, 'These girls tryna play us against each other.'"

While Mayweather assured T.I. that he and the rapper's wife were only friends, he thought the issues was over. However, things seemed to get worst when T.I approached Mayweather at a Fat Burger restaurant in Las Vegas after the rapper's wife attended the boxer's party.

"I said, 'Listen, don't come to my face with no disrespectful (expletive). Like I told you before, you must've forgot what I did for a living,'" Mayweather told Kane. "He said, 'You do in the ring, I do it in the streets.' I said, 'My man, I do it everywhere. You can find out if you want to.'"

After the exchange of words, a brawl broke out between the pair's camps and heated words were exchanged. In the process, Mayweather called Tiny some derogatory terms for which he felt the need to apologize.

"I do apologize to Tiny because she cool people, man...She never been disrespectful to me," he told Kane. "..I'm going to continue to support Tiny and Shekinah cause they're cool people and I don't got nothing against them..I want to apologize to the children and Tiny and Tiny's family for saying what I said."
