Lady Gaga vs. Katy Purry
So what happens when the Little Monsters and the KatyCats go to war? Madness ensues. It all started when Lady Gaga’s “Applause” and Katy Perry’s “Roar” were pegged against each other in Summer of 2013 when the singles dropped on the same exact day — GASP! Mother Monster carried the drama into the next year when she performed in Austin, addressing the crowd with: “I don’t know what the f**k-all I have to do with Katy Perry. Our music is so completely different.” A few months after that she tweeted some snark about the singer’s Prismatic World Tour, stating “It looks like green hair and mechanical horses are the thing now.” Katy retaliated, making fun of Gaga’s fake-puking antics, as she exaggeratedly puked up paint during later performances at her tour. Clearly this was a tale of two icons, taking jabs at each other’s level of fame. Must be rough.
Ke$ha vs. Dr. Luke
Remember when Christina Aguilera released a diss track to Scott Storch titled “F.U.S.S.” (or “F**k You Scott Storch”) years ago? Well this next beef was reminiscent of that, only way way worse. Kesha filed a lawsuit against her former mentor, super-producer Dr. Luke, for sexual assault and battery. In the suit, Kesha explained that she was reportedly “emotionally, physically, verbally, and sexually abused” for over a decade. She claims he began his sexual advances once the pop singer turned 18. She then alleged that he would drug her, sexually assault her, and then give her “sober pills” to wake back up. Further, she claimed he threatened her and her family, and she asked the judge to release her from her contract with Dr. Luke. She also stated this level of abuse led her to develop an eating disorder, causing her to check into a rehab facility.
Dr. Luke swiftly responded with a countersuit for defamation and breach of contract. Then, things started to get messy. His lawyer dug up an old deposition from 2011 (from a lawsuit against Kesha/Dr. Luke and her former manager), where under oath said she never had sexual relations with Dr. Luke and was never drugged or assaulted. Kesha’s lawyer Mark Geragos called the evidence “pathetic” and explained that she lied under oath after Dr. Luke threatened her life. The singer’s mom has since gotten involved, suing Dr. Luke for PTSD and emotional distress. This situation is all bad, and Geragos is about to take it to the next level. He has unspecified evidence that suggests Dr. Luke was the producer who raped Lady Gaga. While Gaga’s rep denied the allegation, Kesha’s lawyer plans to bring Gaga into it. This is going to get even messier than before.
Iggy Azalea vs. Nicki Minaj

When Nicki Minaj blew up, she was under scrutiny by veteran female emcees like Lil’ Kim. Now that Nicki is the “O.G.,” she is rumored to be passing the shade torch onto the newbies. At the BET Awards this year, during her acceptance speech for the Best Female Hip-Hop Artist Award, she said: “What I want the world to know about Nicki Minaj is when you hear Nicki Minaj spit, Nicki Minaj wrote it.” The public reaction to this line was that it was a subliminal diss to Iggy Azalea, who has been using a ghostwriter for her rhymes. During Iggy’s performance of “Fancy” at that same award show, Nicki was awkwardly dancing in that “Guys, doesn’t she suck?” kind of way. That’s all that was needed to determine that there was a war budding between the two.
Nicki wasn’t pleased and took to Twitter as her podium, stating, “The media puts words in my mouth all the time and this is no different. I always take a stance on women writing b/c I believe in us!” She didn’t exactly say she wasn’t throwing shade at Iggy. Meanwhile the “Beg For It” rap diva hit Instagram with her reply, posting a graphic with a paragraph that closed with “Just let it go.” She even dropped some suggestions that the Illuminati was involved — wait, what? This beef was ultimately diffused when Iggy explained she never even met Nicki, but thinks they could be friends. Could they though?
Azealia Banks vs. T.I./Tiny
Another day, another feud involving Azealia Banks. This one is complicated, though. T.I. and Azealia Banks have had historical beef (primarily involving Iggy Azalea), but it was resurrected when the “Chasing Time” rapstress hopped on Twitter following the release of T.I. and I-G-G-Y’s collaborative track “No Mediocre” to offer commentary. This time, the rapper’s wife Tameka “Tiny” Cottle was thrown into it. “U want no mediocre but…Have you seen your wife?” Banks tweeted, later adding that Tiny had “meth face” and couldn’t read.
The tweets have since been deleted, but the sting didn’t settle, as T.I. posted a screenshot from Azealia’s “Atlantis” video with the caption: “U musty-mouthed-thot-bot-bad-body-syphilis-lipped-rectum-vomit-unimportant-ugggggly-monstrosity-of-a-maggot-ass BIIIIIIIITCCHHHH!!!!!! If u speak ill of my family again….. I WILL END YOU!!!!!! #OnPHIL #OnDOE #NoBuuullls–t people fall down stairs daily…. U better watch yo step,u ungly-ass Gremlin-baby #nerveofdisCretin #f–kouttahea.” He deleted that too, but also threatened to “end” her adding, “People fall down stairs daily.” This beef has since simmered, but don’t be surprised if it boils again.
Diplo vs. Taylor Swift/Lorde
So earlier in this list, you read about the never-ending feud between Katy Perry and Taylor Swift. Well toward the end of 2014, Perry’s boyfriend Diplo decided it was a good idea to get in on the action. Last month he tweeted, “Someone should make a Kickstarter to get Taylor Swift a booty.” Ouch. After some Swifties tweeted responses to the producer, he took it a step further and tweeted a link to an online crowdsourcing site Fundly, which has a campaign to raise money to buy Taylor Swift a booty (To date the campaign hasn’t broken the $100 mark). It seems like in this instance, Swift has more friends than enemies. But Lorde came to the singer’s rescue. After Diplo tweeted about T-Swift’s backside, Lorde tweeted to him, “Should we do something about your tiny penis while we’re at it hm.” Ruh roh.
Diplo retweeted the insult and tacked on a comment of “the moment u realize she’s a high school student.” The “Yellow Flicker Beat” singer explained in a FADER interview why she opted to join in the battle. “I love Wes and he’s a big brother to me and one of my first friends in the industry, and part of having a friendship with someone like that is not letting them say stupid s**t,” she explained. “Taylor’s my friend as well, and I’m a girl, and if I see some weird body-shaming on my feed I’m going to be like, ‘Hey man…’ We do still love each other, hopefully.” Lorde definitely made her point loud and clear. How’s that for a “high school student,” Diplo?
