While Twitter has been a platform for celebrities to directly interact with their fans as well as voice their personal thoughts, the social media site has proven problematic in some cases. From stars putting their foot in their mouths via tweet or beefing with other celebrities, Twitter hasn't always been the best celebrity environment. Though some embrace it and flourish, others have decided to call it quits altogether. With Nicki Minaj as the latest celebrity to say her farewells to the social network, she hasn't been the first and certainly won't be the last. Some find their way back while others are gone from the Twittererse forever. Check out a list of other artists who've chucked up the deuces to Twitter. --Jazmine Gray

Nicki Minaj

Chris Brown

Chris Brown deleted his @mechanicaldummy Twitter account back in 2009 after controversy surrounding his album release and a series of disgruntled tweets. In 2010 he returned to the scene where he now remains as @chrisbrown.

The Dream

The Dream left Twitter after angry Ciara fans thought that he dissed her and attacked him through the social media network. Of course, he too returned and even recently found himself engaged in Twitter beef.

Soulja Boy

When he couldn't take the heat from the trending topic #ifsouljaboysarapper, Soulja Boy deleted his twitter. Like many of the rest, he could resist coming back.
