It's no secret that there are two sides to every argument, and that's the case even when the argument is as high-profile and public as the feuding between Bone Thugs-N-Harmony and Three 6 Mafia. The beef was so long-running, in fact, that when the two groups met on Verzuz in 2021, a physical fight actually broke out. Insults were exchanged and eventually, so were apologies — but, what gives? 

According to DJ Paul's interview with Blurred Culture, it was all rooted in a misunderstanding. They had a particular style and gravitated toward certain types of imagery, but when Bone Thugs hit it big, "All of a sudden... we hear somebody kind of on our same style: "Faces of Death, redrum, murder, 666, tongue twisting. We were like, 'Damn these dudes done stole our style! That's why we got mad about it."

On the other side, Krayzie Bone talked to Hip Hop DX about the so-called feud, saying that they didn't know anything about it until one of their fans tipped them off that there was another group that had claimed that Bone Thugs had ripped off their style. "I really didn't understand what the beef was until I talked to somebody on the phone one day," he said. "It was a conference call, ... And they was like, 'We just want ya'll to know it ain't no beef, it ain't no nothing.' All that stuff was stupid."
