Kim may have had a point there, but that doesn't remove the controversy surrounding her braided hairstyle.
#5: Sharon Osbourne vs. the Jenners
Kylie and Kendall Jenner have faced a lot of controversy over the years, but they really riled up some people with one of their merch pieces in 2017. They decided to put their own faces over images of some of the biggest music legends, like The Notorious B.I.G, Ozzy Osbourne, and Tupac, and sold the “Rap vs Rock” t-shirts for over $100. While Biggie’s mother called the act “disrespectful” and his estate even suggested legal action, Ozzy’s wife Sharon chose a different method. She posted a viral tweet that read “Girls, you haven’t earned the right to put your face with musical icons. Stick to what you know…lip gloss.” The girls later apologized and pulled the shirts from sale, but the damage was already done - and not just with Sharon’s clapback.

Pink’s edgy persona makes it very clear that she has zero time for haters. And yet, some people still want to try her.

Pink saw the tweet and shot back with the retort that at least she sucks “while singing the national anthem,” while the poster “just suck[ed] by yourself on a dirty couch. #winning."
#3: When Someone Dared to Doubt Cher
Top 10 Times Celebs Clapped Back At Ageism
Cher definitely has her own style when it comes to tweeting and they’re all golden. But it’s even better when she puts a hater in their place, as she definitely knows how to state her opinion loud and clear.

A Twitter user replied that she’ll believe it when she sees it. Cher then made it clear that the tweeter clearly caught an L when the singer and actress wrote her back with this.
#2: Rihanna vs. Ciara
Top 10 Most Hilarious Rihanna Moments
The Rihanna versus Ciara feud started in the early 2010s when Ciara mentioned that Rihanna wasn’t the nicest when she ran into her at a party. RiRi blasted her on Twitter, saying “My bad Ci, did I forget to tip you? #howrudeofme.” It implied that CiCi was there as a waitress, not an invitee. Ciara fired back with “Trust me, Rihanna, you don’t want to see me on or off the stage,” but that couldn’t with RiRi’s “Good luck with booking that stage you speak of.” Though Rihanna ultimately apologized, this wasn’t the last time she let someone have it on social media. In 2020, she promoted her Fenty brand’s moisturizer with sunscreen on Instagram, and had a commenter remind her that “it’s winter now.” RiRi replied with, “it’s the ignorance for me” and reminded the poster that they’d get wrinkles if they thought “SPF is seasonal!” Before we unveil our top pick, here are a few honorable mentions.

Then, when someone told her that she’d peaked, Chrissy got them back by reminding the Twitter user that she has a best-selling book, a family she loves, and was “literally eating pasta on a lake in Italy” - as well as having “married rich”. She was also asked what exactly her job is, apart from being “a bully, rude, and married to John Legend.” Chrissy shot back with “You just listed 3 jobs. You want me to have more than 3 jobs?” Well, guess we can’t argue with that!
