Auto-Tune impresario T-Pain says that he and Jay-Z have finally settled their differences. The short-lived beef started when Jay dropped his Auto-Tune diss, 'D.O.A. (Death of Auto-Tune).' Though he claimed the single wasn't an attack against T-Pain for utilizing the vocal effect, Pain took offense to the record, dissing Jay for being "out of touch" at a pool party in Las Vegas last September.

The Florida singer/producer quickly rescinded his comments, releasing an apology via his song 'More Careful.' Pain and Jiggaman then met face to face and squashed the beef, at the 2010 Grammy Awards, hugging it out like true gentlemen.

"We talked at the Grammys," Pain told MTV. "It was a pretty big thing. Word for word, he said, 'That's f--ked up the way you took that song.' I'm a [crazy] n----, so we gonna take the song like that. That's how we take songs. He was like, 'I didn't mean nothing by that.' I was like, 'I already put out my apology song. So there you go. My bad. I apologize. Apologize for taking the song like that.' We shook hands, did the little chest bump. That was the end of that."

Pain is currently working on his fourth album, 'RevolveR,' which will be released later in the year, featuring plenty of Jay's favorite effect -- Auto-Tune -- and "a lot of sex and alcohol. That's a main topic," according to Pain.

Atonia "Toya" Johnson, the ex-wife of rapper Lil Wayne, is speaking out on her ex's incarceration, revealing that she chose not to attend the sentencing of the rapper before he began his one-year bid at New York's Rikers Island. According to Johnson, Wayne's several sentencing postponements prompted her to sit out his final court appearance on Monday, March 8.

Johnson, shares a 12-year-old daughter, Reginae, with the New Orleans rapper and explained that the whole ordeal was an emotional one. "It was up and down. One minute we thought he was going and she'd be sad and then he don't go," Toya said in an interview. "We [were] in New York like two times and we ended up turning right back around because he didn't go."

"The last day he finally went in, we didn't go," she continued. "My daughter was like, 'I wish I would've went.' It was just too much. I just didn't want to let her see that again cause both times she took it real hard." On his final day of freedom Wayne spoke to Johnson and Reginae over the phone. He told his ex to "be strong" and that his time behind bards was going to "fly by."

So much for a happy reunion. While the original five-man Bone Thugs-N-Harmony lineup -- Krayzie, Wish, Bizzy, Layzie and Flesh-N-Bone -- will return with their first album together in more than a decade this April, touring for the Cleveland natives will be a different story.

When Bone Thugs kick off their 34-date trek in support of 'Uni5: The World's Enemy,' they will be down a man. The band's publicist confirmed that problem-prone Bizzy Bone will not be joining his bandmates as they coast the U.S., beginning in Minneapolis, Minn. on March 24.

"You go through things to make you stronger," Layzie enlightened in statement in regards to the jaunt. "All your obstacles, all the things you go through that don't seem positive at that particular time are only to get you ready for your next phase of life." Bone Thugs found their greatest success at the end of the '90s and have sold more than 30 million records. After several delays, 'Uni5: The World's Enemy' will officially drop on April 27.

Tickets for Bone Thugs-N-Harmony's U.S. trek are available at Ticketmaster.com. A list of tour dates is available after the jump.

Horrorcore rapper Necro thinks a lot of himself. "To be this f--king incredible, you've got to go through a lot of s--t. There's a lot of chapters to be this fresh. You've never looked at anybody this handsome in your life, and you never looked at anyone like this, who's gonna f--k your girl." Chill. [UGHH]

Radio personality Charlemagne tha God dropped this recent gem on Twitter. "Salute to all the Vegans that eat p--sy! Walking contradictions!" Uh, no. [CThaGod]

'My Life as Liz' star Liz Lee (it's a show on MTV, apparently) met Snooki from 'Jersey Shore' and the two really hit it off. "She's so sweet...and she's so cute," Lee said. "I just want to pick her up and put her in my pocket and feed her animal crackers. She's a really, really sweet girl, and you can't help but love her. It's inescapable." Don't feed her after midnight though, she's a Gremlin. [MTV]

West Coast rapper Murs is taking on the daunting task of releasing a total 10 albums in just 10 months. The ambitious undertaking begins with the release of his up-coming 'ForNever' album alongside producer 9thWonder, due March 30.

"10 albums 10 songs each in 10 months in the year 2010," Murs wrote via his Twitter page. The massive release will also include a box set, which is set to drop during, you guessed it, the tenth month of the year. "10/10/10 box set will be available," he continued. "Or you can wait till 12/28 for the last piece."

This whole 'Distant Relatives' collaboration between Nas and Damian Marley is becoming another hip-hop record overshadowed by its multiple release dates. However, last night, XXL got an exclusive preview and jotted down a new track listing that contains a surprise feature from the recently imprisoned Lil Wayne. The rapper appears on a track called 'My Generation' with singer Joss Stone.

Universal Republic is set to put the disc out sometime in May or June, but a concrete release date hasn't been set yet. The record is reportedly dedicated to the "hoods of America and Africa" and also features productions by Marley in attempt to blur the boundaries between hip-hop and some of the genre's forbearers such as reggae, dub and roots music. Nas recently sat down with the Miami Herald to explain the concept a bit more.

Earlier today, an alleged 90-second plea from R&B singer Chris Brown appeared on SayNow.com -- a website that allows celebrities to leave short, public voicemails to their fans. In the recording, which you can listen to here, Brown asks his fans for help since "radio stations aren't playing my records."

Brown's last album 'Graffiti' -- released in December of 2009 -- peaked at No. 7 on the Billboard 200 and No. 1 on the R&B and Hip-Hop Album chart, but has experienced lower sales than his last album due to the lack of airplay. Radio stations seemingly put the recording artist on the back burner after he plead guilty to felony assault of his former girlfriend Rihanna and lost a considerable part of his fanbase.
