See Wild Rap Beefs That’ll Probably Never Be Resolved
Pusha-T and Drake

Pusha-T and Drake
The issues between Drake and Pusha-T go pretty far back. The beef started with the issues between the Clipse—Pusha and his brother No Malice—and Lil Wayne, which reportedly has roots on the collab track “What Happen to That Boy.” Drake’s affiliation with Wayne made him a target. In 2011, the beef between Drake and Pusha began to grow legs. Pusha dropped the song “Don’t Fuck With Me,” which sampled Drake’s “Dreams Money Can Buy,” on which Drake allegedly disses Pusha subliminally. Then Push released “Exodus 23:1” in 2012.
Pusha-T fired shots at Lil Wayne on “Your Favorite Rapper” and Drake responded by threatening violence on “Tuscan Leather” on his 2013 album, Nothing Was the Same. In 2016, Drake took aim at Pusha’s drug-dealing past on “Two Birds, One Stone.” Then, Pusha-T dropped “Infrared,” which appears on his 2018 album Daytona, reheating the beef between himself and Drizzy. Push called out Drake for using ghostwriters. Drake then dropped “Duppy Freestyle” in retaliation, which fired shots at both Pusha-T and Kanye West. Push then released “The Story of Adidon.” The single’s artwork depicts Drake in blackface from an old photo shoot. The song gained a lot of attention and resulted in plenty reactions, especially from hip-hop. One of the most gasping bars was when Pusha revealed that Drake fathered a secret son.
Drake later confirmed he has a son on songs “Emotionless” and “March 14” on his 2018 Scorpion album. Drizzy shares a son named Adonis with former adult film star Sophie Brussaux. In 2019, Drake said he had no desire to patch things up with Pusha. Last year, the Virginia lyricist appeared to diss Aubrey on a leaked Pop Smoke song and Drake also dropped some subliminal bars on Headie’s “Only You Freestyle.” This beef has never officially been put to bed but it’s currently inactive.

YG and 6ix9ine
In a nutshell, YG explained that Tekashi was “playing with too much of the real shit” <a “=”” href=”https://www.youtube.com/watch?t=27m&v=1HPStRu0yxc&feature=youtu.be”>in a 2018 The Breakfast Club interviewand he felt obligated to intervene. YG was referring to 6ix9ine trolling on the internet. And of course, Tekashi caught wind of the California rapper’s interview and responded via Instagram. “YG, suck my fuckin’ dick, stupid. Your last single before your album came out had four major artists on there. You had 2 Chainz, you had Nicki Minaj and you had Big Sean. How’s my record doing better than your shit? You a whole bum out here,” Tekashi said at the time. “Stop going on radio stations tryna promote your album mentioning my name.”
Things nearly turned physical between the crews in November 2018 when Tekashi and YG affiliate Slim 400 got into a heated argument at ComplexCon. The volley of disses continued in 2019 but died down in 2020. Yet, YG and 6ix9ine haven’t made amends and it doesn’t look like that will happen anytime soon—if at all.

Young Thug and YFN Lucci

Young Thug and YFN Lucci
Young Thug and YFN Lucci’s beef dates back to 2017, when Lucci tweeted, “Pac would’ve never wore a dress” in response to Thugger dubbing himself the new Tupac that same year and Thug wearing a dress on the cover of his 2016 mixtape Jeffery. Thug wrote back on Twitter, saying, “U lil mad or big mad peon.” He then seemingly threatened Lucci writing, “Thank god u able to take care ya mama, and be humble Doin to much could become a deep sleep.” Lucci later dropped a single called “Like Pac.”
The beef died down shortly after that, but in March of 2019, Young Thug responded to fans questioning the status of his beef with Lucci. “Man, of course I’m gon’ slap Lucci and Sauce,” Young Thug said on his Instagram Livestream, also referring to Houston rapper Sauce Walka. “I’ma slap the hell out y’all little niggas man. Stop playin’. Keep playin’ and know what time it is.” Lucci responded, insisting that Thug wouldn’t be putting his hands on anyone and mentioning Young Thug’s then-girlfriend Jerrika Karlae in an Instagram video.
The two rappers continued to trade insults back and forth with Thug posting the eyebrow-raising Instagram Story post, “@yfn if ain like what u do for your mother and kids I WOULDVE BEEN KILLED U,” following a bad album review from Lucci. Last March, Thug reignited the beef by poking fun at Lucci’s jewelry. No major transgressions have occurred since then. However, there has been no love gained.

Eminem and Machine Gun Kelly

Eminem and Machine Gun Kelly
Eminem and Machine Gun Kelly’s tension dates all the way back to May of 2012. It all started when MGK made a comment about Em’s daughter, Hailie, in a Twitter post. The Cleveland rapper referred to Hailie as “hot as fuck” after a photo of her went viral. Hailie was 16 years old at the time. Years later, in October of 2015, MGK indirectly accused Em during an interview of having him blackballed from the Shade45 satellite radio station while discussing his sophomore album, General Admission, not receiving the proper amount of support and radio play. MGK’s claims are presumably connected to his own tweet about Hailie.
In March of 2018, MGK appeared on Tech N9ne’s song “No Reason” and many people assumed that he dissed Eminem on the record. Em released his surprise LP, Kamikaze, months later in August and delivered a direct diss at Machine Gun Kelly on the song “Not Alike” featuring Royce 5’9″. The diss didn’t go unaddressed as MGK dropped “Rap Devil” days later. In September of 2018, Em dropped “Kill Shot,” adding another layer to the longstanding feud. MGK later dissed Eminem at a show in Orlando, Fla.
Fast forward to 2020, their issues haven’t been resolved. Marshall dissed Kelly on his surprise album, Music to Be Murdered By. Then Kelly appeared to diss Slim on the track “Bullets With Names” and recently blamed Em for the lukewarm reception of MGK’s Hotel Diablo album. Em didn’t waste an opportunity to diss MGK on the B Side of his latest deluxe album, which Kelly ultimately brushed off.

50 Cent and Ja Rule

50 Cent and Ja Rule
In 1999, Ja Rule was allegedly robbed for his chain at gunpoint by one of 50 Cent’s affiliates. 50 claims he later saw Ja at the club and they had a rather tense interaction. Ja, however, claims this never happened. Fif later released the diss track “Life’s on the Line,” aimed at Ja Rule and Murder Inc, the label he was signed to. Their beef came to physical blows in 2000. The two rappers were booked at the same nightclub where their appearance resulted in a physical altercation. 50 Cent was stabbed by a Murder Inc. crew member at The Hit Factory recording studios in New York City.
Between 2002 and 2003, the two rappers traded insults back and forth in the form of diss tracks including 50’s “I Smell Pussy,” “Back Down” and “Hail Mary,” and Ja Rule’s “Loose Change” and “Guess Who Shot Ya.” Ja and Murder Inc. also maintained that 50 took out an order of protection against them for the Hit Factory incident. Through the years, Fif and Ja have continued to trade insults back and forth at any opportunity they get. The most petty shenanigans tend to come from Fif. While Ja has admitted to losing the battle, that has not stopped him from going at the Power creator’s neck.
This beef spans more than two decades and, according to 50, won’t end until one of them is dead.

Lil’ Kim and Nicki Minaj
The beef between Nicki Minaj and Lil’ Kim goes all the way back to the cover of Nicki’s 2008 mixtape, Sucka Free, on which Nicki is shown squatting in a bra and panties. The artwork resembles Lil’ Kim’s 1996 Hardcore album artwork on which she famously squats. This began the chatter that Nicki was copying Kim. They later met at a Lil Wayne concert, where Nicki claims she asked Kim if everything was cool between them. They both supposedly have different versions of the conversation. Nicki claims Kim responded that they were cool, while Kim says she replied, “Picture somebody saying to me, ‘We good?’ I’ll ring her throat, snatch her larynx out.”
Their beef continued and Nicki eventually threw shade at Kim on Diddy’s 2010 remix to “Hello Good Morning,” on which Nicki raps, “Did I kill a queen?” In November of 2010, Lil’ Kim spoke on her feelings about Nicki during an appearance at Club Pure in Queens—Nicki’s hometown. There, the Queen Bee said, “First of all, I don’t even need a record right now and I’d kill that bitch with my old shit. My records ain’t just enter the charts, they made history. What the fuck is this bullshit? This shit come and go—are you kidding me?” Nicki later followed up on her comments, calling Kim a sore loser. “You’re going to go down in history now as a sore loser, as opposed to going down in history as the Queen… Don’t play with me,” she said. After that, in 2011, Lil’ Kim dropped her Black Friday mixtape, which included the title track, a diss to Nicki’s Minaj’s song “Roman’s Revenge.” Then, Nicki Minaj went in on Lil’ Kim, releasing the diss track “Tragedy.”
In 2013, Nicki admitted Kim inspires her, but the antics continued. When Nicki named herself the Queen on Beyoncé’s “Flawless (Remix),” Kim recreated the song’s cover artwork, replacing herself with Nicki Minaj. During an appearance on The Breakfast Club in 2014, Kim spoke on Nicki Minaj name-dropping her in the “Flawless (Remix).” “She made the first record towards me,” Kim said. “If you listen to that remix, she been waiting for so long to even say the word ‘Queen Bee’ ‘cause that’s how obsessed she is. C’mon you on a record with Beyoncé. If I had a record with Beyoncé, I’m not sayin’ nothing remotely so this chick think that I’m talkin’ about her.”
