Are you Team Snooki or Team Ne-Yo?

We ask because there's a feud brewing between the Jersey Shore star and the hitmaking R&B crooner...

It all started on Monday when Ne-Yo tweeted, "Wow. Snooki is on the cover of Rolling Stone magazine. Really? I quit. (Just kidding, but almost serious....)."

Ne-Yo insisted at last night's Battle: L.A. premiere that his jab wasn't necessarily about Snooki. "I gotta reiterate, no disrespect to Snooki," he told us. "I don't know her so I can't disrespect her but I feel like Rolling Stone is a music magazine and for them to put her on the cover, it's like, 'Really?!' "

But it seems like too little too late for Snooki's liking—sounds like the she's going to be deleting Ne-Yo from her iPod. Just hours before we chatted with him, she tweeted, "Neyo's mad that I got the cover of rolling stone?...you lost a loyal fan. What a buzz kill.#sorry."

No surprise, but Ne-Yo's not too upset. "I think I'll be all right," he smiled. "I think I'll sleep tonight."

Perhaps the two can duke it out on Monday night, when Snooki jumps into the wrestling ring as host of WWE's Monday Night Raw.
