Drake and Puff Daddy have hit a rough patch in their friendship after the two rappers got into a physical altercation during DJ Khaled's birthday party at Club LIV in Miami. As it goes, the two were given the same beat from Toronto producer, Boi-1da, and while Puffy was under the impression it was for him only, Drake released his own song over the production. The two crossed paths at the birthday celebration, where Puffy let his hands do the talking.

Plus, J. Cole dropped his third studio album, 2014 Forest Hills Drive,  Nicki Minaj shared the video for her all-star record "Only," and Cam'ron talked about retiring from music. Check out all that and more in What the Hell Just Happened in Music This Week?
