All the other girls are doing the post-nicki minaj thing."Azealia Banks is definitely not new to Tweefing, but she may have just started World War Female MC with this one, especially since Nicki Minaj has been back in the booth lately.

J. Cole, @JColeNC - Tweet: "Unreal"Not only did J. Cole get to put on a hot show for his fans at Madison Square Garden on his birthday (Jan. 28), but he got a special gift from his mentor Jay Z. The rap king turned Cole World's concert into a chaining ceremony when he adorned the young MC with his original Roc medallion. #nowhesreallypowertripping(Photo: Kevin Winter/Getty Images)

Pharrell Williams, @Pharrell - Tweet: "Y'all tryna start a roast beef? '@Arbys: Hey @Pharrell, can we have our hat back? #GRAMMYs'"Before the 56th Grammys were even over, Pharrell's hat had several of its own Twitter accounts, and even the folks at Arbys couldn't resist joining in on the clown-fest. Apparently, however, Skateboard P needed that big hat for his ego, 'cause those jokes don't even touch him.(photo: Adriana M. Barraza/WENN.com)

Macklemore, @macklemore - Tweet: "My text to Kendrick after the show. He deserved best rap album... I'm honored and completely blown… "Even Macklemore was offended by Kendrick's major snub at the 56th Annual Grammy Awards. He uploaded a screenshot of the text he sent to the Compton kid expressing his shock over his unexpected win and Lamar's disappointing loss. #wegetitwegetit(Photo: Ilya S.

Phonte, @phontigallo - Tweet: "There's really gonna be a mass gay wedding at the Grammy's tonight during the performance of 'Same Love?'"Little Brother's Phonte experienced a mild case of "what-the-pluck" when word got out that a few same sex couples would walk down the aisle to the tune of Macklemore's "Same Love" at this year's Grammys. Pick up your jaw Phonte, it really went down.(Photo: Ilya S. Savenok/Getty Images for BET)

The Weeknd, @theweeknd - Tweet: "the hair stays... you can leave. XO"People have been coming at The Weeknd for his matted 'do since the beginning of his time in the spotlight. The "spider head" and "broccoli" top jokes keep pouring in, but it looks like he'd rather lose a few fans than chop off those knotty hair strands. #byeFelicia(Photo: Frazer Harrison/Getty Images for Coachella)

Russell Simmons, @UncleRUSH - Tweet: "Crazy how I praise maculamore saying he had one of if not the most inspiring song of year and some media interpret that as a diss..?"Maybe Uncle Rush's confusion as to how his words of kindness have been taken out of context pertaining to Macklemore and his music-making skills rattled his spelling abilities. #gotitalltwisted(Photo: Chris Weeks/Getty Images for G-Star)

Chase N. Cashe, @ChaseNCashe - Tweet: "N----s went from stealing Big Sean flow to stealing Ace Hood flow to stealing Meek flow to stealing 2Chainz flow to stealing Migos flow lol."Obviously hit-maker Chase N. Cashe is team "everybody sounds the same" because, according to him, rap cats like copying other people's steez.(Photo: Chase N Cashe via Instagram)

Ludacris, @Ludacris - Tweet: "What the hell is going on in ATL, GA! This type of weather is not suppose[d] to happen!!"Two inches of that white (we're talking precipitation) had folks in the A — and all over the South — sleeping in schools and stranded in convenience stores, and forced the Georgia National Guard to deliver food and water to helpless motorists. So like many other Southerners not used to the flurries, Ludacris thought the weather was nothing less than ludicrous. (Photo: Jason Merritt/Getty Images)
