Chris Brown @chrisbrown - Is there anything Chris Brown hasn't tweeted? The R&B bad boy is a stereotypical artist, sharing his incredible talent and volcanic personality. This year, anything from pics of ex-girlfriend Karreuche to misogynistc insults thrown toward a female comedian was fair game for a post. The drama eventually caused Brown to delete his profile, but of course, he came back for #teambreezy.(Photo: Christopher Polk/AMA2012/Getty Images for AMA)

Action Bronson @ActionBronson - The Queens rapper should have a Rated R stamp on his timeline. Between Action Bronson's tweets about pimping and vulgar insults thrown toward his haters, Bronson is not one to hold his tongue.
