Watch out, folks, we've spotted a nasty feud on our radar!

Looks like things are getting heavy between Chris Brown and up-and-comer Frank Ocean from Odd Future Wolf Gang Kill Them All (or the more palatable Odd Future or OFWGKTA) on the tweet waves.

The two (well, mainly Chris) started going at it earlier today and it was quite the 140-character-or-less show!

Here's how it all started...

Apparently, C.Breezy was trying to help Ocean up his mixtape sales by tweeting, "I f--k wit Frank Ocean! Reminds me of a young James Fauntleroy or Kevin Cossum."

The "Novacane" singer responded, but it wasn't the adulatory thank you that Brown may have expected.

"i f--ks wit chris brown, reminds me of a young sisqo or ike turner," Ocean wrote.

Uh-oh. (Tina Turner's late ex-husband wasn't exactly known for being a gentleman, remember?)

As he's done before on Twitter, Brown went off. And well, we've got some of the tweets for you right here, but they're pretty offensive.

"@frank_ocean it was a compliment you bitch ass n---a. Everybody claim to be the devil till they meet him," the F.A.M.E. artist blasted the up-and-comer.

Ocean didn't agree and replied, "i just dont like underhanded comments. thats all im saying."

And then Brown fired back, "F--k odd future! Make sure y'all smalltime n----s stick yo chess out when u speak to me...Ain't no battery in my back! U just getting on a-- n----s! Don't let them pills go to yo head! I was tryna help yo sales n---a. You f----n clown! You and @f--ktyler would be casted great for planet of the apes!"

And then another OFWGKTA crew member jumped in.

Tyler tweeted, "@chrisbrown What's Wrong Christopher? Amber Rose Stole Your Style Bro Bro?"

"@chrisbrown Why Are You Mad Tho? Like Really, You're Bigger Than Us Christopher. You Act Like You Like To Eat Soup, Aren't You A Role Model?"

Yeesh! This went on for awhile, with Brown finally getting a few reflection tweets to himself.

"To all my fans, I'm sorry these ignorant ass n---as got me down to their level," he tweeted at around 4 p.m., after which he reached out to a well-known compatriot.

"@thegame bro these n---s are frail," he tweeted to rapper The Game.

"The world is crazy. These n---as talk s--t, worship the devil and start s--t wit me and I'm the bad guy? F--king hilarious," Brown concluded just moments ago. "Y'all wanna know why I'm always in some shit? Becuz people continuously f--k wit you."

Well, think it's safe to assume there won't be any Chris Brown and OFWGKTA collaboration?
