Ice Cube's departure from N.W.

A (Niggaz Wit Attitudes) in 1989 sparked a notable


conflict within the group. The beef primarily stemmed from financial disagreements
and creative differences between Ice Cube and the other members, particularly Eazy-
E and Jerry Heller, the group's manager. Ice Cube accused the group of unfair
compensation and challenged the authenticity of their gangster personas. He felt he
wasn't receiving his fair share of profits from their work, particularly in writing
lyrics. This discord led to diss tracks exchanged between Ice Cube and N.W.A,
including Cube's scathing solo track "No Vaseline," which targeted his former
bandmates and Heller. The feud continued for years, with both parties taking shots
at each other through music and interviews.
