Unforgettable Musician Feuds That Shook the Industry

Kendrick Lamar and Drake

The Kendrick Lamar and Drake feud dates back to 2013, when Kendrick called out Drake in his verse on “Control”, sparking competitive tension.

While both exchanged subliminal shots in songs over the years, the rivalry escalated in 2023 after Kendrick dissed Drake on Future and Metro Boomin’s “Like That”.

Drake responded with subtle jabs, fueling speculation of an ongoing rap battle. Their feud remains one of hip-hop’s biggest rivalries, with fans anticipating a direct lyrical showdown.

Kanye and Taylor Swift

The Kanye West and Taylor Swift VMAs feud began in 2009 when Kanye interrupted Taylor’s acceptance speech for Best Female Video, declaring Beyoncé deserved the award.

The incident sparked massive backlash. Though Kanye apologized, tensions resurfaced in 2016 when he referenced Taylor in his song “Famous”, claiming she approved the lyrics, which she denied.

Their conflict remains one of the most infamous moments in pop culture history.

Machine Gun Kelly and Eminem

The Machine Gun Kelly (MGK) and Eminem feud started in 2012 when MGK commented on Eminem’s daughter, Hailie.

Years later, Eminem responded with “Not Alike” (2018), leading MGK to fire back with “Rap Devil”. Eminem then released “Killshot”, dismissing MGK as inferior.

The feud shifted MGK from rap to rock, as he later embraced a pop-punk style. While tensions have cooled, their diss tracks remain some of the most intense rap battles in recent history.

Kim Kardashian and Taylor Swift

The Kim Kardashian and Taylor Swift feud started in 2016 when Kanye West’s song “Famous” referenced Taylor.

Kanye claimed she approved the lyrics, but Taylor denied it. Kim defended Kanye, calling Taylor a “snake” and leaking phone call recordings, sparking massive online backlash.

In 2020, the full call leaked, showing Taylor never approved the controversial lyric.

Taylor later embraced the “snake” symbol during her Reputation era, turning the drama into empowerment. Their feud remains one of pop culture’s biggest rivalries.

Prince and Michael Jackson

The Prince and Michael Jackson feud was a legendary rivalry between two of the biggest pop icons of the 80s.

It began with MJ’s “Thriller” vs. Prince’s “Purple Rain”, fueling competition. Prince rejected collaborating on “Bad”, reportedly disliking the lyric “Your butt is mine.”

They subtly dissed each other, with Prince mocking MJ’s dancing and MJ calling Prince “mean”. Their rivalry was rooted in mutual respect, but their contrasting styles and egos kept them from ever fully reconciling.
