By now pretty much everyone has heard "Bada Boom." The song was Ludacris' answer to Drake and Big Sean claiming he bit Sean's "Supa Dupa" flow. In the video Luda released to accompany the diss track he gives Drizzy and Sean a hip hop history lesson and tells them to do their research before making claims about creating flows that were done years ago.
“With the super duper flow, I created that one word rhyme style,” Big Sean told MTV back in March 2011. “Drake really made it more popular, but Drake gave me the credit and was like I really got that from Big Sean. I think some artists just did it so wack man. Every time I say names I get in trouble and it’s like I’m dissing, but some people used it wack. If he said Ludacris used it wack, hey. Don’t get it wrong I’m not trying to dis Ludacris or nothing,” he explained. “He’s a great MC. But even though that style got so overused, there was a lot of people who did it great and there was a lot of people who didn’t do it so great. People always ask me was you mad that people took that style from you. I’m like, ‘Nah, that went and shows me how far I can go as an artist.’ I feel like I changed hip-hop. I haven’t even dropped an album yet. So that goes to show me how powerful my mind is.”
Drake also addressed that particular flow in an interview with AllHipHop back in June 2010.
"I don’t want to offend somebody…I hate that rappers picked that flow up. I wish they had left that for people that know how to use it. [They go like] “It’s a parade! MACY’S!”
That was a direct shot at Luducris, who said that line on the song "My Chick Bad" when he rapped, “Couple girlfriends and they a lil' crazy/Coming down the street like a parade, Macys.”
Now that Luda has fired back, it seems neither Drake or Sean want it with him.
In an interview with Seattle radio station Kube93 that came out after "Bada Boom" Sean was quick to back down.
"Are you sure it's about me? Because I didn't hear him say no name or nothing," Sean said. "I don't have no problems with Luda, I never did. I think he's referring to an interview I did over a year ago. I respect people who are ahead of me."
Drake has yet to comment publicly on the song.
JumpOffTV examines the beef and calls out Drake for dissing people then claiming in interviews that he didn't.
They also compare the new school rapper's version of dissing to the old school way.

More victims are coming forward in the bizarre case of Oneal Ron Morris, a transgender female who pretended to be a cosmetic surgeon.
As we previously reported, Morris stands accused of injecting cement, fix-a-flat and mineral oil into the buttocks of a woman. Morris then sealed the incision with super glue. That victim who has not yet been identified publicly became very ill after the procedure. She developed a staph infection (MRSA) and pneumonia.
Now a second victim has come out publicly with a similar horror story.
Rajee Narinesingh from Miami, Florida, who, like Morris is also a man living as woman, got injections in her face, buttocks and chest. The procedures left her with lumpy cheeks, a misshapen chin and ballooning upper lip according to the CBS4.
“I had to end up going to surgery, to get me even to this point,” Narinesingh said.
The 48-year old Narinesingh took the cheap route for cosmetic surgery after hearing about Morris through "word of mouth" in the transsexual community.
“It becomes so dire that you want to match your outside with your inside that you’re willing to roll the dice and take your chances,” Narinesingh said. “As a transgender person, you’re thinking ‘Oh, my God, I can start to look like I want to look like and I don’t have to spend a lot of money.'"
At least seven victims have come forward claiming to have had botched procedures performed on them by Morris.
Oneal Ron Morris also injected herself
Morris is currently free after bonding out of Miami Dade County Jail on Monday.

Lil Boosie pleaded guilty yesterday (November 29) to charges of trying to smuggle drugs into two seperate prisons on three different occasions.
According to various news reports, Boosie tried to smuggle codeine, ecstacy and marijuana into Dixon Correctional Center once and into Angola State Penitentiary twice. Both prisons are in Louisiana.
He was sentenced to eight years by judge Mike Erwin.
Boosie requested he be allowed to undergo drug counseling while in prison. The judge said he would recommend it but could not order it.
"Don’t worry about me I am getting help with my drug addiction and I am accepting full responsibility for the choice I made," Boosie said in a statement to TMZ.
Boosie's troubles are far from over. He still faces a first-degree murder charge in the death of Terry Boyd. That trial has been set for April 30, 2012.
"I am going to fight the false murder charge till the end. Love you all," Boosie told TMZ.

Rocsi Diaz is starting to branch out in her career. In addition to hosting BET's popular show 106 & Park, the 28-year old beauty is getting into acting and writing her first book.
In a new interview with NBC's Peter Baily, she touches on those subjects as well as Webbie's ban from BET.
According to Webbie, the situation was a case of 106 & Park co-host Terrence J, becoming jealous after Rocsi hugged him, but she tells a much different story about the incident.
"It's really sad the way it was looked upon. It was like, 'oh he was banned.' In any light that a woman feels like she was disrespected... and I have thick skin. But when you're at your job and somebody sexually harasses you in a manner that is very vulgar and disgusting, you know I have no shame sticking up for myself and telling you you're improper right now," she said. "I'm at work, we're in a set, there's children around us, you're really out of line right now. I think people should more so applaud a woman sticking up for herself, and the people around her for sticking up for herself, than allowing that kind of behavior to happen."
Despite what happened Rocsi said she is still is a fan of Webbie's music.
"I still am I fan because I'm from New Orleans, he's from Baton Rouge. I love his music, I bounced with the best of 'em, but to have somebody that you really were a genuine fan of turn around and... I understand maybe there was some type of little crush, but there's a manner in which you speak to people," she continued. "He disrespected me, Terrence stood up for me, I stood up for myself and the network would not allow anyone to come and disrespect their host in that manner. It was really inappropriate, and it's really sad. I just hope that he just understands it. There’s never even been an apology, it’s been more of an upsetting incident [to him] because he can’t be on BET. His management has been super duper nice and they reached out to me. I think they've had problems with him before. If you youtube him you can see other interviews where he has been very inappropriate."

T-Pain recruits Chris Brown for "Look at Her Go." The track appears on Teddy P's upcoming album rEVOLVEr, which drops December 6.
Justin Combs is now a UCLA Bruin.
The 17-year old son of Bad Boy CEO, Diddy announced he will be taking his game to the next level by playing football for UCLA according to Fox Sports.
Combs picked UCLA over Wyoming, Virginia and Illinois.
“I'm committed to UCLA,” Combs said. “I was silently committed to UCLA for awhile, but now was the time.”
Combs, 5'9, 170 pounds, played both quarterback and cornerback for Iona Prep High School in New Rochelle, New York. He will most likely play cornerback for UCLA. Combs committed to the Bruins despite the fact they just fired head coach Rick Neuheisel. That doesn't worry Combs at all.
“I have faith in the program that everything will be ok,” Combs said. “My love for UCLA is so strong. I trust and know that everything will work out.”
Combs' famous father is very excited about his son's decision.
“As a parent, today is one of the proudest moments of my life. This is everything a father could want for his son, for him to excel at what he loves to do and is truly passionate about. Justin is a shining example of what hard work, determination and a strong mentality can achieve. I am honored to call him my son and am happy that he is fulfilling his dream," said Diddy, in a statement.
