The Most Iconic Celeb Internet Clapbacks Throughout History
There’s absolutely nothing we love more than a celeb who loses their shit at trolls, famous alumni and gronky tabloids. And thanks to the internet, we can sit back, relax, and watch all of the drama, conflama, tomfoolery and buffoonery unfold right before our eyes.
I mean, it’s pretty great, right?
For your enjoyment, we’ve searched the internet for the best of the best celeb clapbacks throughout history. Ready? Let’s go.
Know Better Than To Disrespect A Gay Icon
Look. There are some celebs out there that — if we’re being real — deserve copping at least a little shit online for their problematic ways.
But don’t you ever, EVER, mess with the queen of Twitter herself, the legend, icon, star… Cher.
If you’re not following Cher on Twitter, do yourself a favour and jump on that ASAP. Then, in the words of Cher herself, keep your eyes open bitch (for some A+ content).
The One Direction Lost Connection
When Zayn left the band back in 2015 it wasn’t just thirsty pre-teens across the globe that were left shattered, the boys were for sure struggling to adjust to life as a quartet.
So much so, that Louis and Zayn got into a bit of a Twitter row after the former had a go at the latter’s producer.
@Louis_Tomlinson remember when you had a life and stopped making bitchy comments about mine ?

Damn Zayn, cold. He then called out Louis’ singing abilities, saying he should be thankful for the existence of auto-tune. OOFT.
#FingersInTheBootyAssBitch
Man, 2016 did not come to play. On January 27 of 2016, Amber Rose tweeted some info about her ex, Kanye West, that we really wish we could forget. But alas, it’s ingrained in our minds for eternity.
Awww @kanyewest are u mad I'm not around to play in ur asshole anymore? #FingersInTheBootyAssBitch☝
— Amber Rose (@DaRealAmberRose) January 27, 2016
It all went down after a heated Kanye Twitter rant aimed at Amber’s husband Wiz Khalifa, which also called out their infant son, Sebastian. It’s safe to say that Ye’s comments were a little below the belt.
Yeezy has come out and said they’re just rumours but hey, either way, we don’t judge. You do you.
Lorde’s Back In Town To SHUT IT DOWN
It’s pretty common knowledge not to fuck with Taylor Swift. She will either sue you, try to ~expose~ you, get her management to send a threatening email, or sick one of her mates on you. In this case, it was the option D.
The drama went down in 2014, after Diplo had words to say about Swift’s booty. It was not cool, and he was honestly asking for it.
Someone should make a kickstarter to get taylor swift a booty
— Diplo Uchiha (@diplo) November 12, 2014
To which our Lorde and saviour replied, but later deleted…
Honestly, I don’t care for T-Swift, but this clapback from our girl Lorde is honestly iconic and deserves to be hung on the wall of a gallery somewhere. Diplo’s wig is yet to be found.
Don’t Mess With Oprah
Trying to talk shit about Oprah Winfrey? Seriously? Do better. This Twitter user tried to have a go at our main girl back in 2012 and Ms Winfrey did not come to play.
@awalkdatalk when are u? I've put 500 African American men thru college . And u sir?
— Oprah Winfrey (@Oprah) July 30, 2012
Yass Oprah! Flex those receipts! Drag him. EXPOSE him. Fuck him up, Oprah!
Everyone knows you’re only allowed to call out Oprah if you’re Shaquille O’Neal and you’re just trying to help a girl out.
HI TWITTERS . THANK YOU FOR A WARM WELCOME. FEELING REALLY 21st CENTURY .
— Oprah Winfrey (@Oprah) April 17, 2009
@oprah ur caps r on, btw
— SHAQ (@SHAQ) April 17, 2009
Wow. 2009 was a much simpler time.
Chrissy Teigen Is Doing Just Fine
Last year Chrissy Teigen made the long, long Twitter block list of the President of the United States, Donald Trump. It was a pretty big deal at the time.
Twitter user @GorgonFreeman had some choice words to say to Chrissy, and she responded with what is maybe one of the most perfect clapbacks in history.
Where’s the lie though? Eat that pasta, Chrissy.
Who Is Lisa Stanley?
The greatest Kardashian sister (don’t @ me) Khloe was spotted in the comments section of a Hollywood Unlocked Instagram post that suggested that her and husband Tristan Thompson are working through couples therapy.
All of which was supposedly leaked by ~friend of Kris~ Lisa Stanley.
Who tf is Lisa Stanley though? We STAN a queen who exposes fake news.
The Queen Of The Clapbacks
Rihanna is truly the queen of clapbacks. Don’t you let anyone ever tell you otherwise.
For real though, the girl is seriously savage and just simply gives no fucks at all.
@MTV Yikes…. @rihanna ran out of fucks to give
— Rihanna (@rihanna) April 19, 2012
Most of her internet beefs are too zesty to showcase here, but I HIGHLY recommend Googling some in your own time. You’re welcome.
There you guys have it, some of the most iconic moments in modern history, TBH.
