R&B singer Pharrell Wiliams attended the A+E Network's "Shine a Light" concert on Wednesday evening in Los Angeles (November 18). But the "Happy" crooner's handsome face looked a bit busted...

Usually under these bizarre circumstances, the celebrity would explain what happened. Maybe they accidentally tripped and fell, or were playing an intense game of catch...

But 42-year-old Pharrell still remains totally silent about his ugly black eye. So, what's up with that?

Well, rumors suggest that fellow hip-hop superstar Jay-Z got a little heated, and decided to teach "The Voice" coach a lesson from the streets.

Apparently, Pharrell was supposed to partner with the "99 Problems" emcee when he first launched the high-fidelity online music streaming service, Tidal. But the "Blurred Lines" sensation suddenly got cold feet and backed-out of the deal last minute. HOV was not impressed:

"[Jay] took it as a slap in the face for Pharrell to do that," an alleged MediaTakeOut.com. "Especially since Pharrell was one of the main people who came up with the idea for [Tidal]." 

So, did Beyonce's hubby finally seek some old school "gangsta life" revenge?

"Jay definitely wanted to SEE Pharrell, and have a face to face. I don't know if Jay still is about that 'street life'... but Pharrell had a black eye last night."

Wait - did Jay really punch his longtime industry friend in the face!? Well, Twitter's now abuzz:

@Honey_Bee30: "Jay Z better not have gave my man Pharrell no damn black eye [crying]."

@LeeBruhGreene: "WHY would Pharrell step out with this black eye?!"

@WackProducer: "man who punched Pharrell in the eye man. That ain't cool."

@krummy09: "wait Jay Z gave Pharrell a black eye?? so that's why Pharrell was wearing shades during [The] Voice results show."

@celebedition: "Million dollar question is - Who punched #Pharrell in the eye :0."

But one fan has another rather logical excuse:

@TheNeptunesOrg: "for everyone who's wondering what happened to @Pharrell's eye, it's just a Injury while test performing."

But what do MstarsNews readers believe? For now, Pharrell still remains mum on Instagram, but doesn't seem to jolted by whatever actually happened...

Wonder if Blake Shelton made any sarcastic comment? Stay tuned.
