9 of the best celebrity Twitter comebacks ever

Skip navigation!

Since Kanye and Wiz Khalifa’s epic break-up last night we've been left with a few questions. Like, um, ‘Does Kanye really wish he was “tall and skinny”?’, and, ‘Does Kanye really own Wiz’s child, and if so, how?’ The only question that the mega Twitter spat actually answered was ‘who is the baddest b*itch of them all?’ The answer, of course, is the suede-headed Amber Rose (alias: Muva), the doyenne of the shut-down comment, who chirped in right at the last minute with this sensational one liner:

Awww @kanyewest are u mad I'm not around to play in ur asshole anymore? #FingersInTheBootyAssBitch☝

Gary Lineker In what potentially could have been one of the most boring Twitter fueds in the history of Twitter, Piers Morgan VS Gary Lineker actually had more legs on paper.

Gary, approaching on the left hand side of the pitch...

@piersmorgan I think the 2 world cups I played in probably edged that

Back o' the net. Av it. Rob Delaney When David Cameron posted a very earnest picture of himself on a call to Barack over at the white gaff (could he have been on hold with BT?!), American comedian Rob Delaney joined in on the conversation, quite literally.

I've been speaking to @BarackObama about the situation in Ukraine. We are united in condemnation of Russia's actions. pic.twitter.com/7Rk2k8iOIK

Then Patrick Stewart chimes in. That's when you know it's time to bow out.

T Boone Pickens We didn't see this one coming. And neither did Drizzy we bet, when 89-year-old American business tycoon T Boone Pickens gave Drake his two cents. Snap.

The first billion is a helluva lot harder RT @Drake: The first million is the hardest.

Frankie Muniz If you thought Malcolm In The Middle was Muniz's moment in the sun, think again. He also penned this in response to a member of the public tweeting about how awful his acting is...

@iHeartMtnDEW Yeah, but being retired with $40,000,000.00 at 19 has not been awful. Good luck moving out of your moms house before youre 35.

Gabourey Sidibe The Empire actress took to Twitter to address fat-shaming comments she received after a particularly raunchy sex-scene aired and pretty much shut the whole internet up. #goals

To people making mean comments about my GG pics, I mos def cried about it on that private jet on my way to my dream job last night. #JK

Hugh Hefner That one time Hugh did something we can get down with. Kind of.

@bazooka_Jroe I have a lot of girlfriends because I don't call them bitches, Jroe. A little respect will take you a long way.

Zayn The crown prince of social media fall-outs, Zayn Malik, had a few things to say to Max George after he gently ribbed him for no apparent reason. Ok so this one's a little childish, but, you know, effective. Highlights below.
