All that tough celebrity talk gets put to a screeching halt when it’s time for some hand-to-hand action.
They may or may not still be cashing checks, but these 15 famous people who caught vicious fades definitely found themselves on the business end of a career-threatening beatdown.

Lil B
The Based God caught a rough two-piece sans the biscuits and coleslaw, followed by a standing eight-count in 2010. Lil Nico administered the fade on camera, and he later apologized for his surprise ambush.
Kimbella Vanderhee
If you watch Love & Hip-Hop even once, you’re bound to see someone catch a fade. Sure enough, Chrissy Lampkin put those hands of God on Kimbella back in November of 2011.

Geno Smith
As if Jets starting quarterback Geno Smith didn’t have enough problems to deal with, his former teammate IK Enemkpali broke his jaw over a seemingly trivial $600 airplane ticket. Somebody should’ve used those bonus miles.

Suge Knight
The public tide turned against Suge Knight back in 2008 when a dude named “Greg The Barber” coldcocked him and laid Suge down like a doo-rag in some grease.
Melyssa Ford
We don’t know exactly how it happened, but former video vixen Melyssa Ford caught the business end of a bottle from her Blood, Sweat, and Heels co-star Geneva Thomas.
Bethe Correia
Bruh…it only took 34 seconds. Ronda Rousey served Bethe Correia the fade in less time than it takes to heat up a microwave burrito.
Yung Berg
There was a time when smacking Yung Berg and yapping his chain seemed like a rite of passage. Trick Trick and Maino definitely joined in on the fun.
Joe Budden
August of 2009 was just one time where Budden’s mouth seemingly wrote a check his jaw couldn’t cash. After making some unflattering remarks about Raekwon, Budden was stung by the fists of a few Killah Bee affiliates.

Steve Stoute
Whatever transpired between Diddy and Stoute back in 1999 sure set Diddy off. He and two bodyguards allegedly cornered Steve Stoute in his office and administered a fade that left Stoute cowering under a desk fearing for his life. Don’t sleep on Sean Combs’ gangster.

Fabolous
It appears Fab barked up the wrong tree when he clowned Ray J for serenading Floyd Mayweather on camera, and in return, that tree swung on him several times. Who knew Ray J was hardbody like that?

Mistah F.A.B.
DJ Mustard’s friends weren’t having any part of Mistah F.A.B. attempting to address their homie in a crowded club. What seemed to be an innocent, man-to-man conversation quickly ended with F.A.B. getting knuckled down before cooler heads prevailed.
Aubrey O’Day
There’s no footage to speak of, but in a battle of Aubrey O’Day versus Dawn Richard, our money is on Dawn. That’s what allegedly led to the August, 2014 breakup of Danity Kane.
Consequence
It didn’t take a fade, but the mere fact that Cons put himself in a position to get snuffed by Tahiry more than justifies his place on this list.

Leona Lewis
There was nothing funny when a mentally ill man who was defeated by Leona Lewis on X-Factor years ago sought revenge by duffing the singer out at her 2009 book signing.

Frank Ocean
The forces of good and evil in R&B battled over a parking spot in 2013, with many accusing Frank Ocean of embellishing his battle wounds against Chris Brown.
