Taylor Swift v Kimye
The bad blood between Taylor Swift Kimye shows no signs of stopping anytime soon, as the feud over Kanye’s Famous song erupted again after Kim Kardashian posted Snapchats of Taylor’s videoed telephone conversation seemingly giving her blessing to his lyrics.
Taylor has now been at the centre of feuds with Katy Perry, Nicki Minaj and ex beau Calvin Harris. But she’s not the only celeb to take the ill-advised route to wall-to-wall publicity.
We take a look at the 7 biggest celebrity twitter feuds.
Taylor Swift v Kim Kardashian
Kim Kardashian recently defended husband Kanye West in GQ magazine against Taylor’s denials that she was aware he was going to mention her in his track Famous. In the track Kanye jokes about sleeping with the Shake It Off star and calls her a b**ch, and on Sunday night (17Jul16), things took another turn as meddling Kim posted Snapchats of Kanye’s telephone conversation with Taylor on social media. Taylor is heard replying: “Umm, yeah go with whatever line you think is better. It’s obviously very tongue in cheek either way.” She later hit back with a post on Instagram asking to be left out of the narrative, and still denying she gave consent to being called a b**tch. But this is one celebrity feud that is set to run.

Amber Rose v Khloe Kardashian
Amber has had a series of run-ins with Kanye and various members of the Kardashian family. She and Khloe came to blows on Twitter after she commented on Kylie Jenner’s relationship with Tyga – the babyfather of her friend Blac Chyna on a radio show in February 2015, calling the 18-year-old a “baby” who “needs to go to bed at 7 o’clock and relax”. Khloe hit back dragging down Amber for stripping at 15 to provide for her family. But Amber fired back reminding Khloe that her older sister Kim wasn’t exactly squeaky clean and alluded to her sex tape by posting: “@khloekardashian I’ll be that lil whore to support my family like ur older sister is a whore 2 support hers.”
Drake v Meek Mill
Meek Mill’s ill-advised shots at Drake caused him all kinds of problems through Summer ‘15. Meek accused the One Dance singer of using a ghostwriter on social media that year, after Drake didn’t tweet support for his new album, Dreams Worth More Than Money. “Stop comparing drake to me too…. He don’t write his own raps!… He ain’t even write that verse on my album and if I woulda knew I woulda took it off my album….. I don’t trick my fans! Lol,” he wailed. Drake never responded to Meek on Twitter, but he released two diss tracks, Charged Up and Back to Back which made Meek a laughing stock and ultimately ended the feud.
Zayn Malik v Louis Tomlinson
Following Zayn’s departure from One Direction, he went head-to-head with former bandmate Louis after music producer Naughty Boy posted a filtered-up photo with the newly-solo singer in the studio in May 2015. Louis tweeted some man shade, “Remember when you were 12 and you used to think those Mac filters for your pictures were cool haha ! Some people still do HA!” Naughty Boy responded, and when Zayn got wind of the feud he chipped in with a tweet of his own, posting “Remember when you had a life and stopped making bitchy comments about mine?” Gentlemen please! Zayn and Naughty Boy also fell out long after.
Iggy Azalea v Azealia Banks
After Iggy received a nomination for Best Rap Album at the 2015 Grammys in December 2014 Azealia slammed the rapper saying she “isn’t better than any f**king black girl that’s rapping today” during an interview with Hot 97. Iggy, no stranger to online beef took the bait, tweeting Azealia, “There are many black artists succeeding in all genres. The reason you haven’t is because of your p**s poor attitude… you created your own unfortunate situation by being a bigot and don’t have the mental capacity to realise yet.” Azealia, never one to back down from an online brawl fired back with her own string of tweets and posted: “Dear LordT, I Pray for this Clueless White Girl…None of this will make sense to her until she herself has children
Rob Kardashian v Rita Ora
Before retiring from life as a reality TV star, Rob Kardashian had his heart broken by singer Rita Ora. He posted and deleted a stream of angry tweets in December 2012, accusing the Hot Right Now singer of cheating on him with “nearly 20 dudes”. Raging Rob added: “How can a woman who is so busy trying to start her own career have time to be with so many dudes all while in a relationship?!” Rita came back equally hard tweeting: “Rob’s d**k was wack, I had to go get it somewhere else,” before swiftly deleting the post.
Nicki Minaj v Taylor Swift
Nicki and Taylor butted heads after the rapper railed against her lack of nomination for Anaconda in the Video of the Year section at the 2015 MTV Video Music Awards. She tweeted “If your video celebrates women with very slim bodies, you will be nominated for vid of the year.” Taylor Swift-ly responded to the Truffle Butter rapper saying: “I’ve done nothing but love & support you. It’s unlike you to pit women against each other. Maybe one of the men took your slot.” But Nicki responded: “Didn’t say a word about u. I love u just as much. But u should speak on this. @taylorswift13.” Taylor soon backed down, but not before Katy Perry added her two cents worth. “Finding it ironic to parade the pit women against other women argument about as one unmeasurably capitalizes on the take down of a woman…”
