Gucci Mane @gucci1017 - Tweet: "ASAP whoever calling his mixtape trap lord n----s need to get off my d--k and let they momma get on it."Guess imitation isn’t the best form of flattery since Gucci Mane is not taking too kindly to A$AP Ferg naming his new mixtape Trap Lord after Gucci’s recently released Trap God 2.

Gucci Mane Melts Down (@gucci1017) - Who could forget how Gucci Mane set the Twitterverse ablaze when he unleashed a wicked rant bashing a slew of fellow rappers and name-dropping a list of industry chicks he popped — allegedly. Ice Cream Mane's meltdown reaped responses from the large number of people he attacked. He later apologized and attributed his bizarre behavior to a lean addiction. #prayforGucci(Photo: Prince Williams/FilmMagic/Getty Images)

Rihanna (@rihanna) vs. Teyana Taylor (@TEYANATAYLOR) - It all started when Rih Rih decided to post a video of her hairstylist — allegedly — mocking Teyana Taylor's rendition of Anita Baker's "Caught Up in the Rapture" while donning TT's signature curly weave and snapback steez. TT caught wind and threw all kinds of threats and diss-bombs. The Harlem singer even went as far as posting a pic of Rihanna's bruised face after the 2009 Chris Brown assault. The result: another Twitter war under the belt for Rih, and bye bye to an Adidas shoe deal for T. #s--tbeenreal(Photos: Stefan Gosatti/Getty Images; Stephen Lovekin/Getty Images for BET's Rip The Runway)

K. Michelle (@kmichelle) vs. Tamar Braxton (@TamarBraxtonHer) - The war between these two has been one of the richest sources of entertainment for the latter half of this year, and it all began with a blonde wig. Once Tamar accused K. Michelle of stealing her look, it's been "muppet" town versus "K-Mart" city, round after round after round ... after more rounds. And despite two attempts to silence the put-downs on K's end, it doesn’t look like these two will be friends anytime soon.   (Photos: Cindy Ord/BET/Getty Images for BET; Bennett Raglin/BET/Getty Images for BET)

Amanda Bynes Courts Drake (@amandabynes) - Amanda Bynes also had her own celebrity-bashing meltdown this year and it included a wishy-washy one-way love affair with Drizzy.

Drake's response: he called her behavior "weird and disturbing."(Photos: JGM, PacificCoastNews.com; Jason Merritt/Getty Images)

MVP of the Year: Jay Z - No new rules here, but Jay Z made it hard for us to judge him among his peers. The music mogul bucked tradition in the way he released his No. 1 album, Magna Carta Holy Grail, and he put the pressure on others to catch up or top that.  (Photo: Paul Zimmerman/Getty Images)

Jay Z Tweets Fans (@S_C_) - Anyone who's familiar with the mechanics of Shawn Carter knows that he's not really into social media (#factsonly). All that changed in July when he decided to entertain his fans with a full-blown Twitter Q&A. He addressed an array of topics from his favorite cereal growing up as a kid to Magna Carter Holy Grail and Miley Cyrus' twerk skills before he chucked the deuces. #untilnexttime(Photo: Paul Zimmerman/Getty Images)

Keyshia Cole Slams Destiny's Child Super Bowl Performance (@KeyshiaCole) - Beyoncé's Halftime performance at the Super Bowl not only turned the lights off (we kid?), but it also doubled as a reunion show for Destiny's Child.

She blasted the singer for killing the vibes and called her out for being "WACK." #andtheBeyHiveattacked(Photo: Bennett Raglin/BET/Getty Images for BET)

Rihanna Responds to Amanda Bynes (@rihanna) - Amanda Bynes gained a bad rep this year for bullying celebs on Twitter, but she threw shade at the wrong one when she decided to come for Rihanna.

Bad Gal's response: "Ya see what happens when they cancel intervention?" #yougonlearntoday(Photos: Devone Byrd, PacificCoastNews.com; Neilson Barnard/Getty Images)

Azealia Banks Takes on Perez Hilton (@AZEALIABANKS) - No stranger to Twitter feuds, Azealia Banks directed her wrath at popular celebrity blogger Perez Hilton after he made a few derogatory comments in regards to her beef with fellow femcee Angel Haze. The Harlemite caught a mean wave of backlash from the Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD) when she called Perez a "messy f----t."

Lupe Fiasco Quits Twitter (@LupeFiasco) - It seems Lupe Fiasco is not really 'bout that Twitter life. In 2001, he resigned from the site, handing over his handle to singer Nikki Jean to promote her album Pennies in a Jar. This year, the Chicago rhymer was back at it, responding to "Control," tweefing with Childish Gambino, and announcing a delay to his Food & Liquor sequel, before closing his account. But no worries, he’s back yet again … writing "Afro-Futurist" Twitter novels and stuff. (Photo: DJDM/WENN.com)

Katy Perry, @katyperry - Tweet: "Mr. Keef! I'm sorry i I offended you. I heard a lot of people guesting on the song & didn't even know it was you in particular. Actually... I'm a fan of your "Don't Like" video tbh. I was really just having a general opinion on our generations desire to be constantly intoxicated.""I Kissed a Girl" singer Katy Perry explains why hearing Chief Keef's "I Hate Being Sober" featuring 50 Cent and Wiz Khalifa made her "have serious doubt for the world."(Photos from left: Johnny Nunez/WireImage, Brendon Thorne/Getty Images)

Chief Keef and Katy Perry Bond (@ChiefKeef) - Things got ugly between these two after pop star Katy Perry tweeted her displeasure with Chief Keef’s "I Hate Being Sober" track. When the "I Don’t Like" rapper threatened to lay hands, promised to deliver a diss song, and made a sexually suggestive comment, Perry took the high road and apologized for upsetting the young buck. The result: a mush moment for the young Chicagoan, who ended things with a peace sign and a thumbs up. #collabcomingsoon?(Photos: Johnny Nunez/WireImage/Getty Images; Brendon Thorne/Getty Images)

A Rant Skit - When you think of the word "rant," Kanye is sure to come to mind. He's known for his unequivocal, extended monologues almost every time a mic is in his hand. 'Ye first went on an unscripted side note at a 2005 benefit concert for Hurricane Katrina live on NBC, during which he claimed President George Bush doesn't like Black people. Since then, the list of 'Ye rants have been endless. We'd like for him to give it to the paps and the fashion industry in one good angry rant track (something like "Pinnochio Story") over one of his classic soulful beats.(Photo: Ralph, PacificCoastNews.com)

Twitter Reacts to Ray J's "I Hit It First" (@RayJ) - More hilarious than the awkward "I Hit It First" declaration that Ray J released in regards to his famed sex tape with reality star Kim Kardashian were the tweets that fans dished out in response.

Rappers' Old Tweets Exposed - A couple of Twitter users thought it'd be a good idea to dig up some old tweets by some of today's hottest MCs, revealing what they had to say about their peers — and for some, their current bosses. It wasn't so pretty. Meek Mill fawned over 50, French Montana called Kanye "gay," Kreayshawn went on a "n---a" spree and Travis Scott faded Jay Z, and that’s only the beginning.Most of the exposed rappers backtracked and deleted the tweets, while hard-bodies like Action Bronson stood by his words, even though he claimed he had a change of heart after saying A$AP Rocky was trash and Drake looked like a "butch d--e."(Photo: Phil Knott/RCA Records)

Twitter Reacts to Drake's NWTS Album Cover (@drake) - Once Twitter got a load of Drake's latest album cover, Nothing Was the Same, some fans made fun of the artwork's simplicity. (Some going as far as dogging Drizzy's baby picture for being a bootlegged Blue Ivy.) Others took shots at his snapshots (for looking like styles you'd see posted up in Black barbershops). But it's safe to say that none of that stopped fans from buying the album, which has already sold more than a million copies to date. #nonewfriends #holdonwegoinghome #allmemes(Photo: Courtesy of Young Money Records)
