Once upon a time, you would have to wait for a gossip magazine or a radio interview or a new hip-hop song to see which celebrities were feuding. But thanks to Twitter, now we get to see our celebrities insult each other in real-time!
We just told you about Nicki Minaj and Taylor Swift’s Twitter feud. A quick summary: Minaj made a salient point about popular culture (while complaining that she wasn’t nominated for video of the year at the VMAs, an award “Anaconda” should absolutely be nominated for and probably winning). Swift took it as a shot at her for some reason, Minaj got angry and made more good points, and Swift ended up looking petty and self-centered. Winner: Nicki Minaj.
Last night, Nicki’s boyfriend/fiancé/celebrity significant other Meek Mill started his own Twitter war, a one-sided affair against Drake. Meek Mill says Drake uses a ghostwriter.

Meek, apparently angry that Drake didn’t tweet out Meek Mill’s new album, went off on Drake about using a ghostwriter. (Well, he first went after Safaree Samuels, Minaj’s ex — a guy really only known for being her ex.)

Drake guested on Meek Mill’s newest single, “R.I.C.O.”
The Canadian rapper hasn’t responded yet, but obviously a Philadelphia rapper is going to win his beef with one in Toronto.
The two feuds in two days led to Bruno Mars playfully challenging Ed Sheeran, and WWE trying to sign a match. See, aren’t modern celebrity feuds fun?
