Diplo, @diplo - Booty, booty, booty, booty, booty everywhere! From Kim K.'s to J.Lo's, this week was ripe with back talk, and Diplo couldn't be left out. He came at Taylor Swift's petite frame months after the "Shake It Off" video dropped (Did the Kendrick Lamar mash-up "Backseat Shake Off" remind him?).(Photo: Diplo via Twitter)

Lorde, @Lordemusic - Taylor hasn't replied (she's probably too focused on that No. 1 album). Besides, she has Lorde on her side. The "Royals" singer came to her bestie's defense and calls out Major Lazer producer Diplo on his own [alleged] shortcomings. #HatersGonnaHate(Photo: Lorde via Twitter)

Kanye West, @KanyeWest - When Paper dropped Kim K's controversial cover photo, a lot of people had something to say about it. Whether you like it or not, Yeezy loves it, and that's all that matters. #KanyeShrug #BreakTheInternet(Photo: Kanye West Via Twtter)

Kim Kardashian, @KimKardashian - If you take a look at the rest of Paper magazine's shoot, there's an image of Kim popping a bottle while balancing a glass on her behind. #NoMessInTheChampagneRoom(Photo: Kim Kardashian via Twitter)

LL Cool J, @llcoolj - On Tuesday, one of hip hop's pioneers, Big Bank Hank of Sugarhill Gang, passed. His contributions on "Rappers Delight" and beyond inspired many to touch the mic, including Uncle L. #RIPBigBankHank (Photo: LL cool J via Twitter)

Brendon Small, @_Brendonsmall - Nicki Minaj received her fair share of backlash for her "Only" video, and when she apologized and gave a nod to the video's inspiration, Metalocalypse and Sin City, the creator of Metalocalypse, Brendon Small, responded with some curt advice. #ThatWasDefinitelyShade(Photo: Brendan Small via Twitter)

Hit-Boy, @Hit_Boy - Super producer Hit-Boy tweeted that he's signing off from selling his beats. We assumed this was to focus on his vocals and label HS87, but label signees Audio Push later denounced his retirement in totality. #WhatTheF**kYouGonnaDoExceptHustle(Photo: Hit Boy via Twitter)

Azealia Banks, @AzealiaBanks - Azealia was also in defense-mode this week, this time using her shade powers for her bestie, Lana Del Rey, in response to Eminem, who looped the pop star into a lyrical domestic violence drama in his #SHADYXV #CXVPHER. #MissCamaraderie(Photo: Azealia Banks via Twitter)

John Legend, @JohnLegend - Sarcasm at its finest! John Legend is not here for Piers Morgan's opinion on the N-word. The former CNN host wrote an op-ed encouraging the Black community to take the same stance as the NFL — no tolerance — when it comes to its use. Legend reminded him that there's a lot we won't tolerate. #ThankYouPiersMorgan #PiersKnowsAll(Photo: John Legend via Twitter)

RZA, @RZA - Ten years after the passing of legendary MC Ol' Dirty Bastard, we still feel the pain. RZA wrote a beautiful message about his late, great cousin/bandmate. #RIPODB(Photo: RZA via Twitter)
