Stranger Danger - It happens, sometimes. Rappers go off on strangers — like Juvenile fighting strangers in a Waffle House parking lot. The situations that arise are varied. An interviewer might get out of hand. A photographer may get too aggressive. Or, sometimes, you’re just mad that anyone got near you and invaded your personal space. When it happens to rappers, though, it becomes something of an event. Let’s check out some of the times our favorites went off.— Jon Reyes (Photos from left: Michael Buckner/Getty Images for LOGO, Larry Busacca/Getty Images, Michael Loccisano/Getty Images for GQ)

Azealia Banks - There are plenty of instances where Azealia popped off, but here's a recent one. In March 2016, while Azealia Banks was leaving a New York City court, she attacked a photographer and threw in an epithet because, why not? (Photo: Taylor Hill/Getty Images)

Kanye West - That time that Kanye West attacked a paparazzi and said, “Don’t burst my privacy bubble or I’ll f**k you up!” So very poetic.(Photo: Larry Busacca/Getty Images)

DMX - We can’t forget that time that DMX went off on television personality Iyanla Vanzant after meeting her for a taping of "Fix My Life." She stood her ground though!(Photo: Frazer Harrison/Getty Images for Bacardi)

Ja Rule - Ja Rule is in the right for this one. A fan threw a beer can at the rapper, and Ja found him and smacked the hell out of him!(Photo: Dave Kotinsky/Getty Images for Sports Illustrated)

50 Cent - There was that time 50 Cent punched a fan for grabbing, as chaos ensued around them. Totally in the right! Don’t grab Fif!(Photo: Bryan Bedder/Getty Images for JCPenney)

Birdman - Walking into a room full of practical strangers (the Breakfast Club) and demanding they put “respek” on your name is exactly what got Birdman back on our blog rolls.(Photo: The Breakfast Club via Power 105.1)

Nicki Minaj - Remember that time that Nicki Minaj went off on that stranger for giving her pickle juice? Just kidding. This was all metaphorical; we just wanted an excuse to talk about it again.(Photo: Larry Busacca/Getty Images)

Busta Rhymes - This might be one of our favorites, since it’s Busta Rhymes putting an observer in her place after she called the rapper “ignorant” for rushing into his bus to use the bathroom. What’s even better is hearing the observer lie through her teeth.(Photo: Neilson Barnard/Getty Images)

Game - There was an instance where Game got really aggressive while defending Khloe Kardashian from photographers. He even cited Kanye West by saying he would be worst to handle. We find that hard to believe.(Photo: Mike Windle/Getty Images for Equinox)
