Nipsey Hussle and Henry Wofford may actually scrap this one out.

Earlier this week, KRON4News reporter Henry Wofford was dragged all across the internet after he tried to clown on Diddy for trying to buy the Carolina Panthers. His choice of words and overall angle rubbed many the wrong way and ultimately resulted in him making a public apology to Diddy for his insensitive comments. However, it's Diddy. He helped create the template for hip hop entrepreneurship and his contributions to the culture are endless. So needless to say, many rappers felt the need to speak up against it.

Earlier this week, TMZ caught up with Nipsey Hussle and he had some strong words for Wofford, essentially saying he's going to beat his ass when he sees him. The clip clearly got around to Wofford who challenged Nipsey to a fight earlier this morning on Twitter.

"@NipseyHussle I saw you on @TMZ saying you'll beat me down when you see me. Here's your opportunity.I'm old school and only fight for a cause," he wrote, "I'm old school and only fight for a cause. Let's raise money for the Black Community.We can box or go MMA style in a celebrity fight.Hug when it's over."

Nipsey, who's never one to hold his tongue, got straight to the point when responding. So much so that he broke it down into four simple points.

"1st: I’ll beat yo white washed Samuel L Jaccson in DJANGO ass. 2nd: we rejected you from the Blac community after you COON’d you own people to try to fit in On mainstream Tv. 3rd: I don’t hug uncle Toms. 4th: you ain’t hard enough...& yo knuckles ain’t scared enough," he wrote.

Nonetheless, Nipsey sent out another tweet accepting the challenge and asking Karen Civil to set it up for "at least 5 mill" and also saying he'll do it in between album promo. Nipsey put an even higher wage on the bet and said that once he wins the match, Wofford will have to play "The Story Of OJ" by Jay-Z every time he's on the air.
