I'm guessing it was just made up for the song, probably ran out of rhyming lyrics :P

Can also be heard in Eminem and D12'S Ja Rule diss "Doe Rae Me"

From answers.yahoo:

Nothing. It is a chant in the style of songs in Cameroon, where the "words" are used for the sound effect, not a particular meaning. (from Rolling Stone)

Yeah Wanna Be Startin' Something, there must be a newer version featuring Akon and that Rhianna song just bit it from the MJ song.

The lyrics are originally from this song by Manu Dibango called Soul Makossa:

It was sampled by Michael Jackson for the original Wanna Be Startin' Something and I think it's be used by other from there.
