Working with Swizz Beatz can get you a hit record and a lawsuit. The New York Post reports that the record labels of Sean “Diddy” Combs, Kanye West and will.i.am, amongst others, were not pleased when they learned the participated in a video promo for Megaupload.

Apparently it was Swizz, who is listed as Megaupload's CEO, who convinced the aforementioned artists, including his wife Alicia Keys, to participate in the clip promoting the file storign and sharing service. However, since sites like Megaupload make trading pirated music easy, they have drawn the scorn of the recording industry. Although Megaupload contends the majority of their users use their service legitimately, the Universal Music Group immediately demanded the video (see below) be taken down, citing that its artists performed without permission.

Megaupload has countered with a lawsuit of its own. “We have never received any word that any artist has [individually] filed a take-down . . . [we have] legally binding agreements with the performers that appear in the video,” a Megaupload rep told the Post. “They promised that they had the rights to enter into that agreement and it's not interfering with any third-party rights.”

Let's be honest, we've all gotten a little hype while at a concert of our favorite artist. If you're not excited to see said artist perform, why pay for the ticket? Controlled enthusiasm is always encouraged. But, you never want to be "That Person," that had a little too much fun and became a star on TMZ, MediaTakeout, and of course, Bossip.

In some instances we see fans that get so excited, that they decide to make an appearance on stage with their favorite performer. Sharing that moment with your new bff can go extremely wrong as seen in a recent report by TMZ when an overzealous fan jumped on stage to share a bond, hug, or some sort of WWE Wrestling move with DMX. Of all people DMX is probably the LAST artist you should attempt to jump on stage to greet. I guess X didn't respond to that kite he sent him, while locked away in his most recent prison stint. While it wasn't the smartest of decisions as you'll see, I doubt he'd attempt it again. In the words of Kevin Hart, "You Gon' Learn Today!"

Naturally, this made us think about some of the best & worst instances of Stage Crashing. Continue on to see what happens when fans decided to say hello to Weezy, Jay-Z, Kid Cudi, Snoop and more.
