Irv Gotti claims Jay wanted Nas on "Can I Live". I remember "Bring It On" being mentioned, but I don't recall the confirmation on it actually being that song.
Dame Dash remembers things a little differently. During an interview with MTV in 2007, the Roc-A-Fella co-founder claimed it was “Bring It On” that was supposed to feature Nas, along with his “Life’s a bytch” collaborator AZ.

“Nas and AZ was supposed to be on ‘Bring It On,’ they kept not showing up,” Dash said. “That’s when we wanted to put out The Firm. They didn’t show up. We was meeting and they was saying, ‘Yeah,’ but they wasn’t showing up. We would be waiting and we would be getting offended. So we brought Sauce [Money] and [Big] Jaz on the song.”

This reminded me of when Sisqo finally got mad at people dissing him and clapped back at R Kelly, Nas etc and then Chauncey from Blackstreet came back and dissed him and Teddy Riley on a Kay Slay tape back in 2003.

Keri Hilson dissing Beyonce for having a miscarriage.

This one is a retcon. Keri never dissed Beyonce. This was one of those things that the Internet took and ran with because of the "to the left line".

I ain't trying to start some mess
There's just something on my chest that I need to get off
'Cause you turning me off
Your vision cloudy if you think that you're the best
You can dance, she can sing
But she need to move it to the left, left
She need to go have some babies
She needs to sit down, she fake
Them other chicks ain't even worth my time to talk about
Been had dollars, boy, go on get your money up
Know you're ain't the only homie on melined up
I ain't turning it off, I'm stay turning it on
Go 'head and tell these folks how long I've been writing your songs
I've been putting you on, just check the credits, hoe
And if you want me you can find me in Decatur, hoe
'Cause you're turning me off

^^^ There's a reference to having babies, but nothing about a miscarriage. Couldn't have been directed at Beyonce because Beyonce sings and dances, but Keri clearly makes a distinction "you can dance, she can sing, but she need to move it to the left". Then there's the "Go 'head and tell these folks how long I've been writing your songs". She didn't write for Beyonce, but she did write for Ciara. Ciara and Keri definitely had beef.

"It was unfortunate, because we used to be really good friends," Hilson said in the cover story. "We let the media get in the way and speak for us, and we weren't speaking to each other."
Hilson anchored the "Turnin' Me On" remix -- featuring T-Pain and Lil Wayne -- with a sing-song flow, firing shots that hit a little too close to home for Ciara. "Go 'head and tell them folks how long I been writing your songs," Hilson sings. "I been puttin' you on, just check the credits, ho."
