It's all good in the neighborhood, homie.

American Idol's Randy Jackson was a guest on Ryan Seacrest's radio show this morning, and addressed the little tiff he was having with The Voice's Adam Levine.

You remember, right?

Levine was on Ellen along with Christina Aguilera and Blake Shelton last week and gave his two cents on Jackson's previous comment about The Voice being a "second-chance place."

"Shame on Randy Jackson for saying that, because he of anybody should know that if you're in this business you need second, third, fourth, and fifth chance," Levine shot back. "So we love and embrace having that be a part of the show. It was an irresponsible thing to say."

Well, Randy felt like he need to clear the air and explain what he meant this morning.

"I've got mad love for Adam….but…their show is a different show than what we do. We go out and we search for the next would-be superstar. We're looking for the person that no one knows about," Jackson said. "Respectfully, Adam Levine, we can all exist together and do it big… Adam, I think you misunderstood me, dawg."
