There’s a lot of emotion that goes into making and producing music.
Sometimes, that boils over into the personal lives of artists and musicians, and honestly, we love to see it.
Below are 10+ musicians who can’t stand each other. These legendary feuds have transcended the music and become an integral part of the mythos to some of our favorite artists.
Liam & Noel Gallagher.
Liam and Noel Gallagher were the frontmen of one of the greatest 90s bands of all time: Oasis . The exploits of the feuding brothers have become legendary.
Liam and Noel still don’t speak to one another, even to this day.
Tom Delonge & Blink-182.
This one hurts my heart. One day Tom was there, the next he’d run off to start Angels & Wairwaves .
Mark said “I wasn’t that surprised because his attitude leading up to that had been not excited and not interested. Even though we’d been talking about recording and dates, things kept getting pushed back.”
Taylor Swift & Kanye West.
This moment will live in infamy. I doubt any of us will forget when Kanye rushed the stage and interrupted Taylor’s acceptance speech to declare that it was, in fact, Beyonce who should have won.
Pretty tough move to come back from Kanye. Thankfully, later in the night, Beyonce invited Taylor back on stage to complete her speech.
Taylor Swift & Katy Perry.
Is a trend developing here or is it just me? Supposedly the feud between Taylor and Katy erupted over a trio of backup dancers.
Taylor supposedly didn’t take very kindly to what she perceived as Katy “poaching” her dancers.
Elton John & Madonna.
Elton stated “I used to make fun of [Madonna] for lip-syncing on stage, but the problem really started when she ran Gaga down on an American chat show.”
EJ also called Madonna “Ungracious and nasty.” Harsh words, Elton.
Don Felder & The Eagles
If you haven’t seen the Netflix documentary History of The Eagles , you’re missing out. Long story short: Don Henley and Glenn Frey were tyrannical jerks.
While he was still in the band, Felder claims that Frey/Henley’s greed “became more insatiable with each new project.”
David Crosby & Graham Nash.
David Crosby is maybe the most hated musician of all time (by his contemporaries). Over the years, David has played in Buffalo Springfield, The Byrds, and most famously Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young.

Not one of his bandmates has a single kind word to say about the legendary rocker. Graham Nash still isn’t speaking to him.
Kurt Cobain & Axel Rose.
Kurt Cobain shunned Axel’s advances of friendship.
He even said in an interview, “We’re not your typical Guns N’ Roses type of band that has absolutely nothing to say. Rebellion is standing up to people like Guns N’ Roses.”
50 Cent & Ja Rule.
Ja Rule was one of the most popular and visible artists in hip-hop…until 50 Cent came along and ruined his career.
The Ja/50 beef became all the craze, culminating in 50 Cent making his legendary diss track ‘Wanksta’.
Trippie Redd & Tekashi 69.
Trippie Redd and Tekashi 69, for better or for worse, are two of the biggest and most popular hip-hop artists making music today.
The feud supposedly started around their mutual involvement with Bhad Bhabie and quickly escalated from there.
2Pac & The Notorious B.I.G.
Biggie and 2Pac ignited the 90s feud between the East and West Coast in hip-hop . Unfortunately for both men, their feud had dire real-world consequences.
Both men were shot and killed within a year of one another. Neither murder has been solved.
Britney Spears & Christina Aguilera.
Britney and Christina, respectively, were two of the most popular artists of their generation. They were competing for the same shelf space, airwaves, and even their taste in men.
These days the pop stars seem to have put their swords away.
Demi Lovato & Taylor Swift.
Holy smokes, does anyone like Taylor Swift? I mean, at what point do you take a good long look in the mirror and ask yourself “Is it me?”
Demi not too subtly posted: “I skipped the VMA’s for a REASON. Well that and I just hate award shows.”
John Lennon & Paul McCartney.
The greatest feud that broke up the greatest band to ever live. The legend of John & Paul is so lengthy and so storied it’s nearly impossible to make heads or tails of the situation.
Myself, I’ve always been a Paul fan…
Nicki Minaj & Mariah Carey.
During their time spent as judges on American Idol , it wasn’t exactly a secret that the feuding divas didn’t care for one another.
During a particularly heated contestant audition, Minaj said “I told them, I’m not [expletive] putting up with her [expletive] highness over there.”
