Kanye West and Kim Kardashian-West - Kanye West and Kim Kardashian-West are arguably the most — collectively — criticized celebrities at the moment. The world's opinions of them only intensified when they made their romance public, with many calling the reality star a gold digger for dating and marrying the successful MC. Setting the record straight at the 2015 BET Honors, Ye put those pesky rumors to rest. "I used to hear people always talking about, 'Man you know when an entertainer get on, of course you know he gon' go and get a white girl... and a white girl gon' get a rich Black dude.'... I wanna say that my wife has dated broke Black dudes. It got nothing to do with money." Whatever you say, Ye.(Photo: Larry Busacca/Getty Images)

Nick Young and Iggy Azalea - Everyone remembers the moment Nicki Minaj threw major shade — "No shade... No, no, no, no shade" — at Iggy Azalea during the 2014 BET Awards. Since she was saying pretty much what many were already thinking, social media trolls invaded the "Fancy" rapper's accounts, ripping her to shreds. Luckily, her fiancé was there for moral support and even had some words for her peers: "You know what? Iggy is doing big things and it's scaring a lot of people," he said.(Photo: Jason Merritt/Getty Images)

Tank and Zena Foster - Tank is known as one of R&B's original heartthrobs, so it's no surprise that some women are still salty that he's taken. The singer, excited about becoming a second-time dad, posted a tastefully nude photo of his girlfriend Zena Foster carrying their unborn child to Instagram, but not everyone shared congratulatory comments. When one particular commenter said that she looked like a man, the "Stronger" crooner clapped back, making fun of the commenter's hair, calling it a Chia Pet wig. Ouch!(Photo: Alberto E.

Omari Hardwick and Jennifer Pfautch - Many fell in love — and lust — with actor Omari Hardwick, watching him break hearts in BET's Being Mary Jane and the Starz series Power. However, things got ugly when those same fans learned that he is a happily married man. After photos surfaced of Hardwick and his wife walking the red carpet together, some began criticizing her appearance, calling her "ugly." Like a true gentleman, he poetically defended his lady: "I thought it was ugly losing my son. I thought it was ugly losing my brother at 45 & sister at 33... Ugly of HATE is a portion of cancer immeasurable," he tweeted.(Photo: Ralph Notaro / Splash News)

T.I. and Tiny - During summer 2014, notoriously outspoken rapper Azealia Banks had a lot to say about T.I.'s wife Tiny. After he released his single "No Medicore," Banks took to Twitter to explain mediocre was exactly what Tip's wife is. Once word got to the Atlanta MC that his wife's name was being dragged through the mud, it was on. He immediately clapped back at Banks, calling her a "thot bot" and much worse names that probably shouldn't be repeated. He even physically threatened her. Needless to say, Banks has been pretty mum about the couple ever since.(Photo: Jason Merritt/Getty Images)
