For today’s edition of “Decade Nostalgia,” we’re reflecting on some of the best savagery from celeb social media. And no, this list isn’t all Chrissy Teigen…but it totally could be, she’s the clapback queen.

Anyway , let’s get into it.
Frankie Muniz vs IHeartMtnDEW
The original tweet was deleted, but the internet is forever.
“ur acting is just, awful. sorry but, it is.” User @IHeartMtnDew tweeted, to which Frankie clapped back:
“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.”
50 Cent vs his grandma.
This has to be one of the most iconic celebrity tweets of all time, right?
“I can’t belive my grand mothers making me take Out the garbage I’m rich [expletive] this I’m going home I don’t need this [expletive]”
Gabby Sidibe truly doesn’t care about anyone’s opinions.
The Oscar-nominated actress has been living the life since her film debut in Precious in 2009.
She’s been a series regular on Empire since 2016, as well as American Horror Story .
Also, she’s funny af.
Kanye vs airlines.
Just kidding about 50 Cent’s tweet, this is one of the most iconic celebrity tweets of all time.
“I hate when I’m on a flight and I wake up with a water bottle next to me like oh great now I gotta be responsible for this water bottle.”
Caitlyn Jenner wrecked Jimmy Kimmel.
She rightly confronted him about some weak af jokes he made mocking her transition.
“We didn’t know what was going on. Sorry about that,” he nervously laughed.
” Now he’s gonna apologize!” Caitlyn quipped.
When comedy punches down, it can’t be surprised when its targets punch back.
Rihanna was the queen of subtweeting.
Ciara really tried it.
“Trust me Rihanna you dont want to see me on or off stage,” she tweeted.
Rihanna didn’t even bother replying. Instead, she separately tweeted on her account: “Good luck with bookin that stage u speak of[.]”
I miss Rihanna on Twitter.
Kim Kardashian had NO time for Lamar Odom.
Lamar Odom apparently forgot one crucial thing about the Kardashian family: they’re ride or die for life.
Kim took to Twitter to slam Lamar for daring to speak publicly about Khloé. Lamar was found passed out in a brothel in 2015.
Cher carried her feud with Madonna to Twitter.
I can’t overstate how much Cher and Madonna do not like each other.
It all started in 1991, when Cher said in an interview that she thought Madonna was “mean,” and a “spoiled brat.”
Omg.
Cardi B was NOT pregnant.
THIS is why you don’t comment on other people’s weight.
“Is there maybe a Kylie Jenner secret that we need to know lol. Just asking,” a fan wrote.
Cardi was not into it. “no [expletive] I’m just getting fat. Let me fat in peace.”
Ciara shut down a homophobe down QUICK.
“Ciara. You shouldn’t be doing this. We respect u too much, Being at a gay wedding is one thing and joining them together is even more a greater sin. We love you but this is wrong,” Lucas wrote in responsible to Ciara appearing in Taylor Swift’s “You Need to Calm Down” music video.
“Firstly, Christians don’t judge. Secondly, #YouNeedToCalmDown,” Ciara wrote in response to his homophobia.
Louis vs. Zayn.
After Louis Tomlinson accused a music producer of riding on Zayn’s coattails, Zayn snapped.
“@Louis_Tomlinson remember when you had a life and stopped making [expletive] comments about mine ?” he Tweeted his former One Direction band member.
Oprah sets the record straight.
After Oprah referred to the late Maya Angelou as “Maya,” one Instagram user decided to come for her. Big mistake. Huge .
“Ms. Angelou to you Oprah. You have no license to call her Maya. She will always be Ms. Angelou.”
Oprah politely replied, “She actually gave me permission after the 2nd or 3rd visit to her home to call her “Maya”. Believe me I’ve witnesses when other folk did NOT have that permission!”
Imagine being bodied by Oprah. Oof.
Nick Jonas schooled a disrespectful fan.
Zak posted a picture of he and Nick on Instagram and captioned it, “u need a few more inches bruhh.”
Nick was not happy. “You need some manners ‘bruh’ I didn’t need to stop to take that picture with you. Just rude. Very rude.”
Kate Beckinsale tried it with a meme account.
I’m not sure who came out on top here. Memes aren’t about the people in it, but the composition of the subjects.
Kate, meanwhile, was upset at the implication that Antoni might be straight.
Subpar meme, meet confused celebrity.
Now Kylie is a 22 year-old billionaire.
People assume the Kardashians aren’t self-aware. The fact is, they know exactly who they are and what people think of them — that’s part of their act.
You can call them any name you want, as long as you’re prepared for the consequences.
Kourtney wishes Stormi a happy birthday.
A “fan” commented: “the most touching birthday wish for stormi.”
Kourtney countered with: “she doesn’t have Instagram yet, but Stormi if you’re reading this Happy 1st Birthday!”
I truly laughed out loud.
Chrissy Teigen knows exactly what she’s about.
Topher, you went and messed up big time.
When he decided to say she’d peaked, Chrissy decided to flex big time.
“I have a best selling book, great boobs, a family I love, am literally eating pasta on a lake in Italy and I married rich.”
Pink and the purple troll.
I can’t imagine ever trying it with Pink.
“Wow Pink looks so old that should be named Purple instead,” a Twitter user weakly joked.
Pink was ready. “You must be from la. Well, there are a few people left in the world that choose to age naturally. And I’ve earned every [expletive] minute of my 38 years. How you lookin though? Cause I never heard of ya til you put my name in your mouth. I shall call you little purple troll.”
LeBron James vs Donald Trump.
A lot of celebrities dunk on Trump, but LeBron took it to a new level.
“U bum” is such a succinct phrase. And obviously, neither LeBron or Stephen Curry ever went to the White House.
The Rock ends DJ Khaled.
DJ Khaled may think he’s the king, but let’s be real: it’s really the Rock.
When DJ Khaled admitted to some straight-up nonsense, the Rock was quick to clarify that real men reciprocate.
Lorde destroyed Diplo on behalf of Taylor Swift.
Diplo decided to attack Taylor Swift, starting a fundraiser to “get her a booty.” Because that’s what classy guys do, of course.
Lorde came to Taylor’s defense: “should we do something about your tiny [expletive] while we’re at it hm”
Chrissy Teigen vs Donald Trump.
Donald Trump indirectly referred to Chrissy Teigen as John Legend’s “foul-mouthed wife.”
Chrissy decided to show him how foul her mouth could be. “lol what a [expletive] [expletive] [expletive]. tagged everyone but me. an honor, mister president,” she wrote.
The phrase trended worldwide for hours.
Cher left no man alive.
Cher was passionately defending the DACA program when a fan decided to come for her.
“Sure you will Cher.. I’ll believe it when I see it!”
Cher was ready. “Then keep your eyes open [expletive].”
Anna Kendrick knows she could get it.
Someone wasn’t a fan of Anna Kendrick’s outfit.
“Not the most flattering picture,” they commented.
“Yeah but I could still [expletive] your girl tho,” she replied.
She’s right, and she should say it.
Finn Wolfhard almost ended James Charles on the spot.
“Ok five minutes in and IT is already awful stay tuned for updates,” he said.
The film’s star, Finn Wolfhard, saw it immediately. “What are you on your phone in the movie theater? Rule 1.”
That kicked off a fierce feud that persists to this day.
Rihanna made herself a legend.
When a Twitter user asked Rihanna why her hair was “so nappy,” Rihanna replied: “cuz I’m black [expletive].”
In 2018, Rihanna named one of her Fenty eyeliners, “cuz I’m black [expletive].”
Hillary vs. Donald: The social media edition.
At the height of the 2016 election buildup, Donald Trump took to Twitter to attack Hillary Clinton’s endorsement by former President Barack Obama.
Hillary made the now-iconic tweet: “Delete your account.”
Taylor Swift took on sexism.
When asked why she only wrote songs about boyfriends, Taylor succinctly shut that idea down.
“[…] I think frankly that’s a very sexist angle to take. No one says that about Ed Sheeran. No one says that about Bruno Mars. They’re all writing songs about their exes, their current girlfriends, their love life, and no one raises the red flag there.
Rachel Bloom educated Neil Patrick Harris.
This was…so embarrassing. When Neil failed to recognize the writer and star of Crazy Ex-Girlfriend , she took to Twitter to set him straight.
“I’m a big fan of yours. We’ve met numerous times and my husband, Dan Gregor, wrote for “How I Met Your Mother” for 5 years. Notably, he wrote the episode where your character finally meets his father.” OOP.
Never accuse Kim of not knowing who she is.
Funny Kim is the best Kim, and no I will not be taking other opinions at this time.
Thanks for joining us on this celeb clapback journey. Here’s to another decade of iconic-ness!
