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.
