In the year 2024, Katt Williams interview with Shannon Sharpe took the world by storm. He ignited the flame by calling out his adversaries in the comedy world. This bold move seemed to trigger a chain reaction within the Hip Hop community. Once accused of being overly amicable and lacking competitive edge, the tables turned and the landscape transformed into what has been dubbed the Hip Hop “Civil War”. Across the nation, recording studios became battlegrounds as blistering diss tracks were unleashed, revitalizing the spirit of competition and invigorating the entire Hip Hop scene.
With that being said, here is an update on all the beef’s that have either occurred or are currently unfolding during this new Golden Era.
Drake Vs Kendrick
Winner – Kendrick Lamar
Number of rounds: 3
Background History: This beef was sparked by Kendrick’s 2013 control verse. Since then, both he and Drake have been exchanging subliminal shots for the past 10 years. The beef has now reached its climax after starting off as a respectful sparring match and escalating into a barrage of disrespectful records back and forth.

Rappers like Kanye and Rick Ross inserted themselves into the beef.
Chris Brown Vs Quavo
Winner – Chris Brown
Number of rounds: 1
Background History:
This feud originated when Quavo began dating Chris’ ex, Karrruche, a few years ago. Despite her moving on and getting married, Chris felt deeply betrayed by his former collaborator. In the midst of the Kendrick/Drake rivalry, Chris vented his frustrations through the brutal track, “Weakest Link.” In retaliation, Quavo delivered a solid response of his own. However, with his unmatched intensity and disrespectful tone, Chris Brown, who isn’t even a rapper, emerged victorious in this battle. The win goes to CB.
Chris Brown – Weakest Link
Quavo – Hoes Over Bitches
Nicki Minaj Vs Megan Thee Stallion
Winner – N/A. Since Megan never gave a response, this battle cannot be judged.
Number of rounds: None
Background History:
Megan and Nicki previously collaborated on the hit track “Hot Girl Summer,” cementing their partnership. However, misunderstandings arose, leading to simmering tensions. The situation reached a tipping point when “Hiss,” a diss track by The Head Hottie herself, was released, hinting at unresolved issues. Although Nicki was not explicitly named, the impact of the ‘Megans Law’ bar led to a public backlash and heated social media rants. Nicki countered with “Big Foot,” but the controversy escalated as the lyrics mainly reference what she had already said on her livestream. Despite the drama, Megan chose not to engage, which prevented this from being a full-blown battle.
Nicki Minaj – Big Foot
Megan Thee Stallion – Hiss
Eminem Vs Benzino (2024)
Background History:
This beef has deep roots, dating back to the early 2000s. Eminem emerged victorious, delivering scathing disses like “Nail In The Coffin.” Then, out of nowhere in 2024, he reignited the feud, taking aim at Benzino on “Doomsday 2.” In response, Benzino fired back with two tracks, the standout being “Rap Elvis.” While battles without an official response usually go unscored, Eminem’s prior takedowns of Benzino cannot be ignored, and undoubtedly weigh in as a significant factor in maintaining that he remains the champ in their feud.
Eminem – Doomsday 2
Benzino – Rap Elvis
Sukihana VS J.T.
Background History:
Sukihana and J.T. found themselves embroiled in a Twitter feud following the release of J.T.’s song “OKAY”. Suki interpreted the lyrics, which made references to inexpensive veneers, as targeting her, especially considering her public admission of breaking her veneers while indulging in crab legs. On the other hand, J.T. vehemently refuted these claims, instead accusing Suki of seeking attention. Suki retaliated by releasing “Cocaine” as her response.

Notable Mentions:
King Combs Vs Everybody
Background History:
King Combs, Diddy’s son, has reached his limit with the ongoing trolling directed at his father. As you may recall, federal agents recently raided Diddy’s house while his children were present. Notably, 50 Cent has taken jabs at Diddy for years, and this latest event adds another layer to the ongoing saga of the Hip Hop community.
Shaq Vs Shannon Sharp
Background History:
On Shannon Sharpe’s ‘Night Cap’ podcast, a discussion unfolded regarding Shaquille O’Neal questioning Nikola Jokić’s deserving of three MVP titles. Sharpe’s compelling argument revolved around the notion that Jokić is being evaluated in a manner that Shaq himself does not qualify for, given that he only holds one MVP title. He then brings up the topic on whether Shaq belongs in the G.O.A.T conversation.
