Ludacris and T.I. began beefing around 2004 when Tip sent a subliminal shot to him on Young Buck’s song “Stomp.”
“Me getting beat down? That’s ludicrous,”rhymed the Grand Hustle boss.
That led to a back-and-forth between the rappers. T.I. was then accused of punching Luda’s manager Chaka Zulu in Hollywood, California in 2007.
Luda talked about the beef during a recent visit to Drink Champs and said it all had to do with competition. [Head to the 9:56-mark]

“From my perspective, it was always little subliminals and I just heard subliminals,” he explained. “I’m extremely competitive, so I’m always with the subliminals. So, when he would jab, I would jab right back in records.”
Later, Luda talked about how he and Tip settled things, which happened during a flight.
“It’s crazy because, again, in retrospect, we were actually on a flight together on a plane. We went to George Floyd’s funeral services together,” Luda recalled. “Will Packer put a bunch of people together on this plane, and so we literally were on there talking for two, three hours.”
On another note, who would you say is the better rapper, Tip or Luda?
