Being in a rap clique has its pro and cons. The pro is that if you can get the right backing, you'll also gain momentum. But being in a clique can be frustrating, with more people and egos to deal with. There is undoubtedly a chain of command or some kind of ranking. Simply put, it's just more mouths to feed at the dinner table. Sometimes MCs who have been waiting for their shot get frustrated and leave before things come to fruition. Here are a couple of instances where those rappers left; some peacefully, others not so much.

Louie V Gutta

Dreamchasers very own Meek Mill and Louie V Gutta are beefing. The two traded shots over Twitter after Meek told him to basically chill after Louie was tweeting about Slowbucks getting his chain snatched during 50 Cent’s performance. That sparked Louie V to go off on Meek, calling him fake, wack and threatening to beat him up when he sees him.
