=== Feud with Nelly === Despite opening for [[Nelly]] in 2002, Chingy had initially expressed discontent with the lack of promotion on the tour. Meanwhile, reports persisted that Nelly was increasingly irritated with Chingy's growth in fame particularly when he signed with Ludacris' DTP label shortly following the tour. Nelly claims he felt disrespected by Chingy's actions, claiming in a 2005 interview; "For him to say that 'Nelly and all them didn't take no part in him getting a deal', is like saying '[[Run-DMC]] and them didn't take any part on me getting a deal', everybody that comes out tries to help the next motherfucker". Nelly subsequently dropped a verse on the song "Another One" on his 2004 album [[Sweat (Nelly album)|Sweat]] with a line in the song saying, "I like the way you do that right thurr [there]/You just remember why you do that right thurr, I made it tight to be country/They thought country was bummy/Till country start making money" which was perceived by Chingy as a [[diss track]], though an interview with Nelly in December 2004 in which he believed the lyrics were taken out of context, later claiming: "I wasn't going at him. If you listen to the song, it says, 'I like the way you do that right thurr.' I could have said, 'Fuck the way you do that right thurr!' It ain't even like that."<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.mtv.com/news/97cboy/nelly-tells-chingy-to-calm-down-and-pay-him-more-respect|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230412054541/https://www.mtv.com/news/97cboy/nelly-tells-chingy-to-calm-down-and-pay-him-more-respect|url-status=dead|archive-date=April 12, 2023|title=Nelly Tells Chingy To Calm Down And Pay Him More Respect|website=[[MTV]] }}</ref> Angered by the song, Chingy leaked a song in response taking aim at Nelly entitled "We Got" on January 7, 2005.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.mtv.com/news/1oytvn/chingy-fires-back-at-nelly-and-luda-drops-new-dis-track|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230403042037/https://www.mtv.com/news/1oytvn/chingy-fires-back-at-nelly-and-luda-drops-new-dis-track|url-status=dead|archive-date=April 3, 2023|title=Chingy Fires Back At Nelly And Luda, Drops New Dis Track|website=[[MTV]] }}</ref> Later on in December 2005 at the [[Radio Music Awards]] in Las Vegas, Chingy alleges he approached Nelly to end the feud but claims he refused to discuss in private but was ignored repeatedly.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://allhiphop.com/news/nelly-chingy-has-a-problem-being-a-man/|title=Nelly: "Chingy Has A Problem Being A Man"|date=January 14, 2005 }}</ref> However; months later Chingy would approach Nelly's cousin who allowed both rappers to put an end to the feud in 2006. During an interview in November 2022; Chingy would also claim Nelly's sister had also approached him at an airport, diligent for both to resolve the feud prior to her death due to cancer complications in March 2005, claiming "At that point, she said she had a wish, and that wish was for me and him to come together... When I heard that, I had to end this; for her. This can't go on. She had a wish for this to happen, she really wanted me and her brother to be cool."<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PzvgX2_inZ4|title=Chingy on Nelly Beef: His Sister Wanted Us to End Feud Before She Passed Away|website=[[YouTube]] |date=November 4, 2022 }}</ref>
