T.I. and Boosie Badazz appear to have put their recent disagreement behind them after running into each other while on the road. On Sunday (April 9), a photo of the Southern rap legends surfaced online, showing them stood next to each other and chatting it up at an airport. The pair appeared to have bumped into each other at St. Louis Lambert International Airport in The Gateway City, where they performed together alongside Jeezy, Nelly, Twista and others as part of the Legends Never Die concert at the Enterprise Center the night before. While neither Tip nor Boosie have confirmed a reconciliation, the photo suggests their encounter was cordial. The pair’s spat was sparked in February after Boosie Badazz labeled T.I. a “rat” for admitting he once pinned a gun case on his dead cousin to avoid going to jail. An outspoken critic of snitching, the Baton Rouge rapper also canceled the joint album they were planning to release together, saying Tip’s confession “ruined everything.” The Grand Hustle general later claimed that he “embellished” the story about his late relative, which contained “humor” and “sarcasm” that escaped Boosie, while also sharing a photo of court documents purportedly proving he didn’t snitch. The King rapper was then seen waving around said documents at a “paperwork party” he hosted in his native Atlanta, and put Boosie on blast for apparently ignoring his invite to “pull up.” “I just don’t like for a n-gga to God damn get fly then get shy, you hear me?” T.I. said at the gathering. “My n-gga, I’m right here in the center, so come on if you got something to say about me, if you think it is what it ain’t. There’s one way to clear it up: pull on up, let me show you what you looking for.” He continued: “And then after you see what you need to see, then it’s on you now. We gon’ straighten that shit up ’cause you done got too far in the jaw, you got too much dip on your chip.” In an interview with TMZ in March, though, T.I. downplayed the notion that he and Boosie had “beef” and implied the “Wipe Me Down” rapper had “come to terms” with the fact that he “misspoke.” T.I. and Boosie Badazz wouldn’t be the first rappers to have buried the hatchet while flying. Last year, Freddie Gibbs revealed that he and Jeezy squashed their long-running beef after bumping into each other at an airport. “I seen Jeezy at the airport with his wife. I was with my girl. We shook hands and hugged and was just like, ‘Man, salute,’” Gibbs said in an interview with Bootleg Kev. “It was just, like, ‘Damn.’ It was a relief for both of us, I feel like. “We exchanged numbers and we both got on a plane and that was it. It was one of the most beautiful things ever, I think. I been put it behind me, but I had to, like, see him. And then when you look back, man, it wasn’t really nothing. That was fucking a music disagreement.”
Mariah The Scientist's attorney has demanded a jury trial.

Earlier this year, footage of Mariah The Scientist and a woman named Cleopatra Dues allegedly getting into a brawl at an Atlanta club left social media users shocked. Reportedly, Dues told police that Mariah allegedly approached her and ripped off her wig, then proceeded to drag her across the floor of Cavo Kitchen and Cocktail Lounge. She insists that she never interacted with Mariah until the alleged incident.

In May, Mariah was arrested and charged with simple battery. Now, according to court documents obtained by TMZ Hip Hop, she's pleaded not guilty. Moreover, her attorney Brian Steel has asked for a jury trial. She's yet to address the debacle but may do so soon in court.

Unfortunately for Mariah, her own legal woes aren't the only ones she's dealing with these days. Her boyfriend Young Thug is also currently behind bars on RICO charges. His high-profile trial was put on hold earlier this week. The defense filed a motion for Fulton County Superior Court Judge Ural Glanville to recuse himself due to an ex parte meeting with prosecutors and witness Kenneth Copeland. The trial won't continue until another judge reviews the case. Glanville also plans to release a transcript of his meeting with Copeland “so everyone will have a chance to look at it.”

It's unclear exactly how long this could take. The trial is already the longest in state history, however, and doesn't look like it'll be coming to a close anytime soon. What do you think of Mariah The Scientist pleading not guilty to battery? What about her attorney Brian Steel asking for a jury trial?
