Black Eyed Peas lyricist Will.i.Am is speaking out against reports that he and his entourage beat razor-tongued celebrity snitch Perez Hilton to a bloody pulp after the MuchMusic Awards in Toronto last night.

Will claims the trouble started after P.H. started getting real reckless with his mouth. According to the rapper, Perez ran up in his face and yelled, “You’re a faggot, will.i.am.”

Will says that a few of his fans got upset and began beating. The blogger, however, claims that the beating was delivered by Will and his security.

Perez took to his Twitter page immediately following the beatdown, begging his followers to contact the authorities.

“I hate you Perez. Come on dude, I didn’t hit you. I told you that I didn’t like the fact the you disrespected us. It’s cool to have your opinion, but dude, apparently you were bleeding outside the club,” Will fumed. “I was like next to you by a tree, waiting for my car and instead of calling the police you Twitted (wrote on Twitter.com) that I assaulted you. Sounds like somebody wants mad (more) attention and is not really concerned about his health. I didn’t hit you, and this is very wrong that you are Twitting that I did that, once again disrespecting me and everything I stand for. And they’re lies and that’s wrong. Shame on you, shame on your behavior. And that’s just messed up.”

(Why didn’t he just call the cops himself? Something’s fishy.)
