We should have all seen the epic cat fight between Drake and Diddy coming after this clip hit the net, but we just laughed and brushed it off.

August Alsina had one of the biggest debuts in 2014 thanks to his Trey Songz, Chris Brown assisted single “Love This Sh*t.” However the trio’s bromance seemed damaged when Alsina said, ““I don’t really f— with Trey right now. We don’t get along right now. He did some other s— and we just don’t rock.” He added, “We were supposed to have a show together and it just went left ’cause I can’t deal with n—-s’ egos.” Oop.
