There was no beef. Nas and AZ were supposed to do an EP together. It never materialized though. During the Life Is Good era, AZ appeared in the video for "Nasty" if I'm not mistaken. They've just kept missing each other when it came to doing songs.

This is the last song they did together, but it was cut from "Street's Disciple":

There have only been a few instances of people mentioning that AZ/Nas had problems:

- Prodigy mentioned that Foxy and AZ used to call Nas King Snake behind his back.
- Kay Slay was once going to drop an entire anti-Nas mixtape, and claimed he had AZ speaking negatively on Nas on it.

I don't think there's ever been even any subs between Nas/AZ without having to really pull a Dhalsim. And throughout the years they've always popped up either together or showing love.

They're friends nearly 30 years deep so there's bound to have been some times where they weren't "as cool" or even "cool" with each other. But I've been stanning both for almost 25 years, and it's never gone into beef mode.

Wasn’t there a rumor that Nas felt some type of way about AZ having a radio hit before him. I never really bought it because while I can get why Nas (and virtually every hood rapper) would feel somewhat jealous about Biggie’s quick rise, I don’t see why Nas would feel like that about AZ in 1995. Nas was still the toast of the town at the time, alongside Biggie.

To me it makes more sense that despite disappointing record sales Nas would have felt pretty damn good about his position until the Source Awards when Biggie won everything. I know Questlove is the only source of this but like, it makes sense that it would be the moment where Nas was like “hold on now what the fukk...”

And besides they worked together heavily the next couple years with The Firm.
