Angel Haze - Last week, rapper Angel Haze took to Twitter to respond to Raven’s comments on the Spring Valley High School assault when she suggested the shocking incident wouldn’t of happened if the student was following the rules.

Ann Coulter - In mid-October, political commentator Ann Coulter visited The View to promote her new book, Adios America: The Left’s Plan to Turn Our Country into a Third-World Hellhole, and had a few words to exchange with Raven-Symone. When Raven called her out as a mud-slinger, Coulter was quick to respond,  “Well, I’m at least talking about policy. You have a position on what people’s names should be. ‘Watermelondrea!’ You’ll insult people for their names, I’m talking about a government policy that affects all Americans, and immigrants, and people living here, and it’s harming our country. So you don’t follow it.” Ohhh...snap? (Photo: Stephen Lovekin/Getty Images for TIME)

Wale - During a recent interview with The Breakfast Club, Wale joined the chorus of people calling Raven out for her comments on “ghetto” names. “You got d*ckheads like Raven-Symoné making fun of [names like] ‘Watermelonisha.' If you weren’t lucky enough to be on the Cosby Show, you would be struggling to get a job too, and you looking down on your own people because of their name?” The rapper, whose real name is Olubowale Victor Akintimehin, said that because of attitudes like Raven's, he missed out on opportunities growing up.   (Photo: Bennett Raglin/Getty Images for Sprite)
