The beef between Jay-Z and T-Pain is officially over, according to an MTV report, because the pair recently met face to face and squashed any ill will.
Tension between the two superstars grew last year following the release of Jay's controversial "D.O.A. (Death of Auto-Tune)" single.
Jay eventually explained that the song wasn't directly dissing anybody and/or T-Pain, and things seemed to be kosher between the pair after Pain appeared onstage with Jay for a performance of the song during last year's Hot 97 Summer Jam.
Despite things looking ok from the outside, Pain still held some animosity toward Hov for the track. The crooner's emotions eventually got the best of him, and spilled out while on stage at a Las Vegas pool party last September, in which he dissed Jay, implying that he was old and out of touch.
The diss became the talk of hip-hop after it leaked, but things are good between them these days.
They finally met face to face last month and talked out their situation. In an interview with MTV, Pain says they spoke during the Grammys.
"It was a pretty big thing. Word for word, he said, 'That's f***ed 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," Pain explained to MTV.
"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."
So, with beefs out of the way, T-Pain is free to focus on his next album, Revolver. It's due later this year.
