The rap group Bone Thugs-N-Harmony has such a varied and diverse style that they ended up creating a varied and diverse fanbase. This diverse fan base always end up in heated flame wars over what direction the group should take musically. The debates (or arguments) range from style,subject matter and whether or not to have guest features.The group even has a problem maintaining the small but loyal Broken Base that they do have do to the fact theres more fans of certain individual members than the actual group as a whole.
Also what added to the division is the fact that a popular member is no longer with the group. This also put more fuel to the fire because of the reason why he was ousted and the fact the group isn't quite the same without him. Though others would say he was on the decline due to his substance abuse issues,and his unprofessionalism when it comes to not showing up for video shoots and concerts. so his absence isn't really missed.
