Splits, fights, break-ups, argy-bargy, fisticuffs and beefs. Isn’t the music industry wonderful? A rich seam of public disagreements between artists, and thanks to social media now broadcasted for all to enjoy.
On Monday Wu-Tang member Ghostface Killah posted a video online calling out another rapper, Action Johnson. He even kindly offered to shoot him. Another rapper, Drake was trending on Wednesday after a bust-up with Meek Mill, the latter claiming Drake doesn’t write his own material. Oh and also on Wednesday Nicki Minaj had a pop at Taylor Swift. Its all kicking off!
Thankfully the simmering tension was somewhat diluted amongst the rock fraternity when Alice Cooper apologised to Mumford & Sons this week, after previously calling them “an offence to rock n' roll”. Well done for being the bigger man, Alice.
So that’s what has inspired this week’s Now Playing topic – BEEFS!
We want YOUR suggestions for some of the greatest fallings-out in rock n’ roll, from Lennon & McCartney, Ray & Dave Davies and The Eagles, to Liam & Noel, Elton & Madonna, The Libertines and Morrissey & Marr. The list is flippin' endless.
