Wednesday night, Lil' Kim called Nicki Minaj a "stupid hoe" during her appearance on Bravo's "Watch What Happens Live."
"If you have to make a song called 'Stupid Hoe,' you must be a stupid hoe," Lil' Kim told the late night show's host, Andy Cohen.
And while we were shocked by Lil' Kim's bluntness (as they say, imitation is the highest form of flattery, after all) the rapper's comments were nothing compared to some of the jabs celebrities have traded in the past.
From diva bashing between Elton John and Madonna to a decades-long rivalry between David Letterman and Jay Leno, we take a look back at 20 of the top celebrity feuds of all time.
Kanye West v. Taylor Swift
"Imma let you finish..."
This event was not so much a feud as it was... strange. It all started when Kanye West interrupted Taylor Swift's acceptance speech after winning Best Female Video at the MTV Video Music Awards. He just had to let the whole world know that "Beyonce had one of the best videos of all time. Of all time."
After the huge backlash, West went on "The Jay Leno Show" and made a heartfelt apology to Swift stating he was he was ashamed that his "hurt" over his mother's death "caused someone else's hurt." He also made another apology to Swift on his blog.
Swift wrote a song about the event and performed at the VMA's the following year. So did Kanye. As of now, looks like things might be settled.
Kings of Leon v. Ryan Murphy
When Kings of Leon said no to letting the "Glee" co-creator Ryan Murphy use their songs on the hit show, Murphy retaliated to the rejection by saying, "F*** you Kings of Leon. They're self-centered a**holes and they missed the bigger picture."
The band's frontman Nathan Followill tweeted quite the response: "Dear Ryan Murphy, let it go. See a therapist, get a manicure, buy a new bra."
Followill later apologized for the message and Murphy apologized to Kings of Leon, "I completely understand when artists don't want a show or another artist to interpret their songs. In fact, I respect it."
Daniel Craig v. The Kardashians
In the January issue of British GQ, Daniel Craig trashed the reality family by saying, "You see that and you think, 'What, you mean all I have to do is behave like a f--king idiot on television and then you'll pay me millions?'"
Kris Jenner, aka Mama Kardashian, retaliated by telling Heat Magazine, "crossed the line. It's not made him look like the world's nicest guy. The right thing for a real man to do now would be to issue a public apology."
He has not.
