50 Cent and his G-Unit crew have never been afraid of beef. Since their inception in 2002, 50's G-Unit soldiers haven't just hurled lyrical barbs at other rappers, but they've also gotten into their fair share of physical altercations. Longtime member Lloyd Banks and lifetime goon Tony Yayo have gotten into all-out brawls while short-lived members like Game and Young Buck and lesser known members like 40 Glocc have squared up, too.

G-Unit’s latest scuffle went down this weekend during a taping of the BET Hip-Hop Awards when they got into a fight with Rick Ross cohort, Gunplay. There have been a ton of rumors about the incident (including G-Unit affiliate Kidd Kidd implying that they did in fact jump Gunplay), but you can watch video of the incident here and hear Gunplay give a play-by-play of the events here. There are even rumors of 50 popping off with Diddy backstage.

While 50 has been quiet about the whole situation, but perhaps only because he's so used to the drama. We took a look back at G-Unit’s history of physical altercations that includes run-ins with everyone from Onyx to Ja Rule.

What Happened: G-Unit affiliate 40 Glocc and Black Wall Street member Compton Menace got into a fight during the Cage Vs Cons event at the L.A. Sports Arena in Los Angeles. In the following clips, the Black Wall Street member is seen with several others jumping 40 Glocc. It’s unclear how it all started, but several sources claim that it was related to their gang affiliations to the Bloods and Crips.

Compton Menace would tell AllHipHop in the aftermath that 40 was running his mouth and simply needed to be put in line. “He had no choice [but to fight], he did what another cat against a wall would do. 40 Glocc got his ass whooped, he don't run his mouth no more, and watch who talk shit about and watch who you run up on."

What Happened: Twitter was buzzing this weekend during Saturday’s taping of the 2012 BET Hip-Hop Awards. While Young Jeezy and Rick Ross were beefing inside the venue, Gunplay and members of 50 Cent’s G-Unit crew were beefing in the trailer park outside the venue.

In the following footage captured by a bystander, the 601 & Snort rapper is seen landing a few swings on an alleged member before getting sprayed by mace. He was detained by police, but not arrested. When 50 was questioned by a TMZ photographer about what happened at the BET Awards, he brushed it off with a spot-on answer, "They gave out awards."
