All of Atlanta came out to support Hot 107.9’s annual birthday bash last weekend. The event was somewhat long winded beginning around 5:30 and ending way past midnight but it was a total A-Town celebration. All eyes were on Young Jeezy and Gucci Mane, as everyone expected some kind of drama to pop off but fortunately there was only fun and music and no sounds of gunshots or knife wounds to report.

My birthday bash summary? Keri Hilson rocked a new doo, Lil Duval rocked a “Fake Ass Chain,”Plies blew $50,000 in ones, Trey Songz was caught “backstage pimpin”, and Jeezy and Gucci Mane avoided conflict. That’s about the jist of it. Oh yeah…and there was one helluva finale performance!

Peep a few videos of some of the hottest performances of the night, as well as more flix from Birthday Bash and the Zone 4 skybox party below:

Keri looked beautiful as always but her new doo almost got me in trouble:

Guess Who? The surprise guest of the night…

There were a few snoozers on the bill and one irate northern rapper *cough*<Fabolous> who felt slighted in his performance time:

I truly hate the politics of this industry.. Becuz if it wasnt 4 the politics i would do some crazy shit sometimes, so maybe its 4 the good. No disrespect to ATL or anyone who performed but.. It is what it is.. ~ Fabolous via Twitter

*sigh* Ummkay…but who really cares about all that! All I know is…Zone 4/Hittmenn DJ’s took care of me and few other ATL movers and shakers up in their exclusive Skybox Party with all the chicken wings and patron we could consume…

In his classic hilarious way, Lil Duval showed T. Pain how to really rock the “bling” minus the major price tag. Funnyman Lil Duval revealed his “Fake Ass Chain” during Hot 107.9’s Birthday Bash on Saturday and cracked every one up…

“I had 2 let my twitter people see it 1st t pain ain’t got shit on me!” ~ June 20th

“im looking around and from the looks of it i aint the only nigga walking round here wit a “FAKE ASS CHAIN!” ~ June 20th

“My chain broke on me while swag surfin on stage but I fixed it right on stage. IMA REAL NIGGA!” ~ June 20th

“but real talk i think i took all the shine last night ask anybody that was there until lil wayne walked his super famous ass on stage” ~ June 21st

Yep…Lil Duval’s chain was the talk of the evening! Even T. Pain himself had to take notice of the “Fake Ass Chain” and reached out to the comedian via Twitter:

“I just want yall to know I fully support lil duvals fake ass chain. That dude has been the funniest mofo since I can remember. Keep doin it.” ~ T. Pain via Twitter

Who do you think won this battle of the “bling”?

Hot 107.9 held it’s annual Birthday Bash last night and I’ve heard from numerous sources that both T.I. and Shawty Lo are still publically beefing.  During both performances, each artist took the opportunity to take jabs at each other.

SmartSexyRich&Crazy eloquently recapped the events of the evening.  But if you’d like to see the video of both performances, you can check them out under the hood…
