Your Beef Is Mine - Lil Wayne's artist Flow has heard enough of Young Thug dissing his boss and hit up Twitter to announce a diss track and warned the Atlanta rapper he's gonna have problems when he visits Wayne's old hood Hollygrove for an upcoming show while sending an F-you to the Barter 6 as well.This beef is quite interesting because Thug put himself in the middle of Wayne and Birdman's problems as he continues to taunt the Young Money boss. As the Cash Money and YM's war continues, check out a few more rap beefs where artists who weren't involved jumped in to ride for their homeboys. -Michael Harris (@IceBlueVA)(Photos from Left: Prince Williams/WireImage, Christopher Polk/Getty Images For BET, Prince Williams/WireImage)

Let Me Ride - Snoop was a young lion ready to ride on anyone having issues with his former label Death Row and mentor Dr. Dre, and he let Eazy-E and Uncle Luke have it on “F**k Wit Dre Day.” Penning his verses as well as Dre’s, no one will ever forget the classic lines, “Now understand this, my n***a Dre can't be touched)/ Luke's bending over so Luke's getting f**ked, busta/ Must've thought I was sleazy or thought I was a mark cause I used to hang with Eazy.”(Photos from Left: Michael Buckner/Getty Images, Larry Busacca/Getty Images, Al Pereira/Michael Ochs Archives/Getty Images)

Roc La Familia - The LOX and Beans have longed squashed their issues, but Jada and The Broad Street Bully’s lyrical aims were quite sharp at one another with Kiss even spitting that he "eats Beanie Macs." Sigel himself later admitted that he got the green light from Jay to intercept the rocks being sent at Hov as he went into the booth for his boss.

California Love - In October 2012, former Bad Boy Shyne took to Twitter and expressed his thoughts on Kendrick Lamar’s good kid, m.A.A.d city, stating, "Yoooo! Kendrick Lamar is talented with a lot of potential but his album is traaaaash… When did honest become hating? I expected doggy style or the chronic. I got a product that was trash."Not feeling the perceived disrespect at all, Nipsey Hussle fired back with, “If Shyne ever make it bac to the states...somebody tell cuz his west coast pass is revoked.”Game wasn’t with K. Dot’s first crowning moment being dogged either and fired back on behalf of his lil' homie with, "naw blood, YOU TRASH.. Deal wit that !!!"(Photos from Left: Jemal Countess/Getty Images, K Christensen/Splash News, Christopher Polk/Getty Images for Anheuser-Busch, Matt Campbell/AFP, Getty Images)

Kelly back in the day during a Source Awards show after he left Birdman and connected with Jay Z to do their collaboration album, The Best of Both Worlds. In a F.E.D.S. Magazine interview he stated, "R. Kelly is a b**ch… He f**k over my paw (Birdman)… and my paw really wanted to do that Best of Both Worlds 2."
