Taylor Swift - When Kanye West jumped onstage to interrupt Taylor Swift's acceptance speech for "Best Female Video" at the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards, he faced much criticism. Taylor was a good sport about the whole thing, but did say that she was excited to see Kanye on stage...until she knew what he was there for. She also mocked the situation later on an episode of Saturday Night Live.(Photo: Christopher Polk/Getty Images)

50 Cent\r - This one can't be narrowed down to just one comment, as 50 Cent has been a longtime critic of Kanye. Although the rapper has recently stated that he'd like to work with 'Ye, 50 was known for his repeated Kanye jabs. He even went so far as to mock Kanye's "Love Lockdown" during one of his concerts.\r(Photo: Larry Busacca/Getty Images for The Weinstein Company)
