Be safe though.
by 12/23/2016

You don’t need to fly to Miami to find some shade, honey, when every social media app is filled with it. Twitter and Instagram (Shoutout to The Shaderoom and Baller Alert) are hands down the greatest apps ever, (seriously, how are they free) because they’re literally hubs of celebs feuding with each other and more often than not their “fans”- more like haters. The time of taking it in silence is over as we seen this year people such as T.I, Skai Jackson, and Chrissy Tiegen are not here for it. Whether they’re playing out a beef with another celebrity or tired of that one user always coming out of their face, these celebs made sure everyone knows their @ button works.

We know, these celebs been checking folks for years, but trust and believe it’s levels to this. Check out our awards for the best clapbacks of 2016!

  • Most Silent But Lethal Clapback: Beyoncé and Jay Z.

    Well-deserved for this power couple for not responding to Kanye, but instead, rising above the pettiness. Silence is golden and duck tape is silver. Sometimes no response is the best response. Clearly, since it drove him to have a second rant. –By Soraya Joseph

  • Most Classy Clapback: Chrissy Teigen

    When it comes to tweeting clap backs, leave it to Chrissy to hit you with the one-hitter Twitter. The model, mommy and wife to singer John Legend was Queen Shade in all things politics, pop culture, and parenting. A perfect example is when a fellow mother told Chrissy to be mindful of swearing on TV when kids watch her show. Chrissy had the perfect response. By Soraya Joseph

  • Best Couple Clapback: Chrissy Tiegen + John Legend

    Double Diss Twins! Chrissy and John Legend are the real relationship goals of clapback! A perfect example is when the couple took to Twitter to tag team against Piers Morgan. Tag team off the roof! By Soraya Joseph

  • The Clapback Class of 2016: The BeyHive

    The BeyHive definitely won for trolling any and all suspecting “Becky’s with the Good Hair.” – By Soraya Joseph

    A round of applause- or rather, a round of claps – are in order for singer Solange! The songstress definitely earned the most woke female clapback of the year with her album, A Seat at the Table, when she revealed she was inspired by the hate of two white men. Yep! Solange revealed that after some disturbing comments were made about her during an interview, she used the hate to motivate her to write one of her most woke albums yet. Now make it clap!

  • Most Woke Male Clapback: TIP

    Troubleman vs. Tunechi? T.I. was all the way woke last month when he came for fellow rapper, Lil’ Wayne. After Wayne made some disturbing comments about the Black Lives Matter movement, TIP took to social media to set Wayne all the way straight. By Soraya Joseph

  • Best Clap Back with an Emmy in Your Hand: RuPaul

    After drag queen Phi Phi O’Hara publicly criticized RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars production and RuPaul himself, the veteran diva clapped back the only way a diva can, with an Emmy in his hand. Ru kicked off the All Stars reunion, saying, “If any of you are questioning my qualifications to host tonight’s reunion, I have one thing to say, ‘Talk to her.’ (flashes Emmy).” The Emmy winner then went on to say that if any of the contestants (including notably absent Phi Phi) wanted to blame the “edit” for their behavior on the show, he’d call bulls—t on that.

  • Best Clapback in a Yelp Review: Tituss Burgess

    Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt’s Tituss Burgess channeled his character Titus Andromedon when he went off on a shady moving company via Yelp and Instagram. After the company failed to show for their scheduled appointment, asked for a review before they even arrived, and called the actor a homophobic slur via text, the two time Emmy nominee took to social media to let these guys know “You messed with the wrong Queen.” By Heather Ricks

  • Clapback Rookie of The Year: Skai Jackson

    This just goes to show you should never underestimate the underdog! The truth is, someone was going to put Azealia Banks in her place sooner or later. But the irony in her getting dragged by someone who could literally be her little sister makes us chuckle with satisfaction every time we think about just how bad Miss Skai roasted A. Banks. Karma never fails! By Jasmine Grant

  • Most Romantic Clapback: Blac Chyna

    Blac Chyna and Rob Kardashian may have a tumultuous (or um, passionate? Yea let’s go with passionate) relationship. They may rag on each other on social media, but they will not stand for anyone else coming at their relationship. #Chyro had been a fixture on Wendy Williiams’s hot topics segments. But she jumped out the window when she said Chyna is using Rob as a come up. That’s when Blac Chyna went HAM on Wendy in retaliation. You know it’s real love when you’re not afraid to go toe-to-toe with one of the biggest personalities in media. By Jasmine Grant

  • Most Athletic Clapback: Floyd Mayweather

    It’s probably not a good idea to come at Floyd Mayweather with weak ass social media jabs. The undefeated boxing champ is a skilled counter-puncher who will gather trolls with the quickness. After being in the middle of another messy public spat between T.I. and Tiny, Mayweather had to give his haters 100 million reasons why they had to put some respeck on his name. By Rondell Conway

  • Most Likely to Clapback With Receipts: Kim Kardashian

    In 2016 Kim Kardashian had to pull some receipts on several big name stars, because she’s clearly not the one for long drawn out celebrity beef. Mrs. Kardashian-West put an end to the messy back and forth over the infamous “Famous” lyrics and she had to gather Bette Midler for being a petty fake friend. By Rondell Conway

  • Most Likely to Fail With a Clapback: Donald Trump

    Bless his cold, callous heart. Throughout 2016 the President-elect spent so much time making a fool of himself on Twitter he pretty much locked down this honor in early June. You can choose from a host of moments when he clapped back with factually inaccurate, offensive, and stupid tweets. His efforts to be a clapback king failed bigly. By Rondell Conway

  • Most Likely to Be Petty: Chris Brown

    courtesy of The Shade Room We all know Breezy can be in his feelings a lot, but in those moments we are sometimes treated to some peak level pettiness. Like that time he was trading social media shots with Kevin McCall and stunted hard on his former friend. Brown showcased his personal fleet of cars and offered to send K-Mac one of Ray J’s Skoot-E bikes. Wow. By Rondell Conway

  • Most Likely to Be Savage: Cardi B

    Cardi B has been poppin’ out here for a minute and one thing has been established; she’s a savage when it comes to her clapbacks. Even her “so-called” fans can get it. Cardi is a consistent comment creeper so be safe in these social media streets. By Rondell Conway

  • Most Likely To Clapback With A Low Blow: Azealia Banks

    Embedded from www.instagram.com.

    Azealia Banks was informed that Nicki Minaj’s new mobile game “Nicki Minaj: The Empire” had made a shady reference to her 2012 mixtape titled “Fan2Sea”. In the game shows a character having dialogue about Banks album stating that it sounds like a really loud and obnoxious screech that goes on for hours. Banks clapped back at Minaj insisting for her to lose some weight & decrease the implants a bit … followed by a multitude of palm tree shade. –By Brittany Blakes

There’s just certain people you can’t play with because they WILL come for you. Remember folks, internet receipts don’t delete!
