What is it about American boxer Floyd Mayweather that male rappers who are the current partners of women who have issues with him still respect Money May?

The latest to join this trend is rapper Nelly, who is the boyfriend of actress Shantel Jackson, the former fiancé of Mayweather who filed domestic abuse charges against the latter. Nelly told TMZ when asked when he would bury the hatchet with Mayweather, replied, "I ain't got no hatches to bury!"

In the past, the two exchanged hot words in media. But TMZ was surprised with Nelly's response, claiming he doesn't hold grudges. He said this when the entertainment Web site saw the rapper leaving a bowling alley in Los Angeles.

A few weeks back, something similar happened between Mayweather and rapper TI who were once business partners. However, the two former friends temporarily became enemies after they were involved in a scuffle inside a Hollywood fastfood over TI's wife Tameka "Tiny" Harris whom the rapper suspected of having had sex with the boxer.

TI's suspicions were fueled by the closeness of Tiny with the Mayweathers, especially the boxer's teen daughter.

However, TI and Mayweather also eventually patched things up.

In the case of Nelly, he could be trying to get public sympathy as it turns out he stars in a new reality show titled Nellyville that premieres on Nov 25, 10:30 pm over. Here is the show's plug.

This puts Nelly again in the same boat as TI, who together with Tiny also has a reality show titled The Family Hustle.

Being reality shows, media experts are questioning when does real life and stage portions end? Mayweather's reality show, All Access, the pre-fight teaser before his rematch with Argentinean boxer Marcos Maidana on Sept 13, was in a similar situation with the Nevada State Athletic Commission investigating two scenes involving the alleged use of marijuana in the boxer's mansion and a 31-minute sparring session with no break involving amateur boxers, which possibly breaches the state's rules on safety in sports.
