Soulja Boy vs. Chris Brown:

A Timeline of Their Beef

 

We can thank Chris Brown and Soulja Boy for starting the first celebrity feud of 2017, which–of course–started over something petty! Complex has done a great job of chronicling the social media beef between the two artists, which began after Soulja Boy left flirtatious emojis under a photo posted on Instagram of Brown’s ex-girlfriend, Kaurreche Tran. Apparently, the beef has since escalated  into a celebrity boxing match scheduled to take place later this month.

Online, Meek posted a picture of the same sneakers on Instragram, along with a caption that read, “If you walk out don’t wear these they [sic] wack.” That’s just petty!

Political Analyst Tomi Lahren Responds to Wale’s ‘Smile’ Diss, Twitter Reacts

 

Earlier this week, Wale released a new record that fired shots at conservative commentator Tomi Lahren. However, rather than getting upset over his lyrics, Tomi had more of an issue with the fact that Wale had mispronounced her name in the song, tweeting:

 

In response, Wale got extra petty, tweeting:
