Kanye West / Amber Rose / Wiz Khalifa - All it takes is a smooth misunderstanding to set Kanye West off. Twitter, oh Twitter, you never fail to deliver. “Hit this KK and become yourself,” was the Wiz Khalifa tweet that set Mr. West over the edge. Thinking it was about Kim Kardashian, Kanye responded with a now deleted, “Like, oh that’s Ye and I can put his wife’s initials on my Twitter.” Leading to chronological tweets with No. 4 being, “4th you let a stripper trap you.” It wasn’t long before Muva Amber Rose clapped back with, “Awww @kanyewest are you mad I’m not around to play in you’re [sic] a**hole anymore? #FingersInTheBootyA**B****.” See where assumptions get you?While Kanye keeps tweeting and deleting, check out a few more occasions when current loves and exes were dragged into hip hop beefs and tensions. —Michael Harris and Naima Moore-Turner(Photos from left: GVK...

Drake / Nicki Minaj / Meek Mill - “I never f***ed Wayne, I never f***ed Drake,” but Nicki Minaj got dragged into Meek Mill and Drake’s beef anyway. It all started when the Philadelphia rapper, Meek Mill, called out Drake for failing to write his own lyrics and not promoting his then-released album, Dreams Worth More Than Money. Then Drake decided it was time to drag him through the 6. “You love her then you gotta give the world to her/ Is that a world tour or your girl’s tour?” This bar probably got Drake nominated for a Grammy, but that’s neither here nor there. It still happened.(Photos from Left: Jason Merritt/Getty Images, Ethan Miller/Getty Images, Tim P. Whitby/Getty Images)

Joe Budden / Nicki Minaj / Meek Mill - Joe Budden took to his podcast I'll Name This Podcast Later this past Summer and expressed how he felt seeing Meek gush all over Nicki at the BET Awards. He explained, "Part of my problem with that is Meek's music is too hard. Meek's music is too hard for me to look at him with this f*****g sappy f**k s**t.... But I do appreciate them for keeping the hope of love alive."Of course hip hop's Barbie and Ken weren't going to let that slide, and Meek fired back with a few Tweets like, "Rap money slowing up... joking but it ain't dat boy level to b commenting on they way I handle my lady!" Knowing Budden was expressing his thoughts and not really hating on the two, Nicki also checked the Mood Muzik rapper. Welp.(Photos from Left: Craig Barritt/Getty Images for Electus Digital/WatchLOUD, Mark Davis/BET/G...
