Hate Me Now! 10 Non-Rapping Celebrities Who Have Taken Shots at Kanye West
The Celebrity: Pink
What She Said: "Kanye west is the biggest piece of s--- on earth," she wrote on her Twitter account during the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards after Kanye jumped on stage and stole the spotlight from Taylor Swift. "Quote me. Beyonce is a classy lady. I feel for her, too. Its not her fault at all, and her and taylor did their thing. And douche bag got kicked out. HA."
Did Kanye Deserve It? Yes. After the whole Taylor Swift incident, 'Ye deserved to get some shots thrown his way. And we could understand why someone like Pink might be upset about what he did.

The Celebrity: Katy Perry
What She Said: Pink wasn't the only one who was pissed at 'Ye after the Taylor Swift. Katy Perry also took to Twitter to cuss him out. "F--- u Kanye," she tweeted. "It's like you stepped on a kitten."
Did Kanye Deserve It? Yes. And we promise that all of these shots won't revolve around the Taylor Swift thing. Ha.

The Celebrity: President Barack Obama
What He Said: During an interview in September 2009, the President called Kanye a "jackass" during a segment that he thought was off-the-record. However, an ABC News reporter tweeted about it and, before long, everyone knew what the President really thought about 'Ye.
Did Kanye Deserve It? No. And we're pretty sure that, had President Obama known that the whole world would find out what he said, he would have chosen his words a little more wisely. Being that both he and Kanye are from Chicago, we're sure he doesn't actually have any animosity towards the guy.

The Celebrity: Former President George W. Bush
What He Said: "He called me a racist," the former President told Matt Lauer during an NBC special in November 2010. "And I didn't appreciate it then. I don't appreciate it now. It's one thing to say, 'I don't appreciate the way he's handled his business.' It's another thing to say, 'This man's a racist.' I resent it, it's not true, and it was one of the most disgusting moments in my presidency."
Did Kanye Deserve It? Sort of. Dubya deserved a chance to respond to what Kanye said when he proclaimed, "George Bush doesn't care about black people," during a 2005 Hurricane Katrina relief special. But, did he deserve to have President Bush say that that was the low point of his Presidency? Er, probably not. And, even if it was true, he probably shouldn't have said it.
Celebrity 5
The Celebrity: Amber Rose
What She Said: "He was an a------," Kanye's ex told Complex in November 2011. "He was. I feel like he gets that now, and he's remorseful about being an a------ to me."
Did Kanye Deserve It? It sure sounds like it! Over the course of the last few months, Amber has said some nice things about 'Ye, some really mean things, and...well, we're not sure if those two will ever be on speaking terms again. But from the sound of things, they had a very volatile relationship and this won't be the last shot she takes at him.
Celebrity 6
The Celebrity: Stephen Colbert
What He Said: "We did it!" Colbert said on The Colbert Report in December 2008 after the comedian got his fans to push his A Colbert Christmas album above 'Ye's Graduation. "We humbled him!"
Did Kanye Deserve It? Not really. But it was funny. Especially after Kanye took to his Twitter account and wrote, "Who the f--- is Stephen Colbert." C'mon, dude: How do you not know who Stephen Colbert is? Maybe you did need to be humbled.
Celebrity 7
The Celebrity: Trey Parker and Matt Stone, the creators of South Park
What They Said: Nothing. But they did make a mockery of 'Ye by parodying him on an episode of SP called "Fishsticks" that poked fun at Kanye's sexuality.
Did Kanye Deserve It? Probably not. But this was even funnier than what Stephen Colbert did to him! And it got 'Ye to go on an insane, all-caps Twitter rant that made it even better. Well done, fellas.
Celebrity 8
The Celebrity: Britney Spears
What She Said: After Kanye joked around with her on Twitter—"Yo Britney, I'm really happy for you and I'mma let you be #1, but me and Jay-Z's single is one of the best songs of all time! LOL," he tweeted—Brit's manager Adam Leber responded on behalf of her by tweeting, "Thanks for 'letting' us be #1. Much appreciated."
Did Kanye Deserve It? Yes. He sent out a smart tweet and got one back in return .We realize dude was just making a joke. But, hey: If you're gonna dish it out, you've gotta be able to take it. Thankfully, he did take it and he clarified his tweet later by saying that he really was happy for Britney. But, by that time, we think she'd moved on.
Celebrity 9
The Celebrity: Lily Allen
What She Said: After Kanye unleashed several tweets about groupies getting pregnant on purpose to collect checks in February 2011, the UK songstress—who suffered a miscarriage in October 2010—tweeted: "Never has a tweet put me in such a bad mood. This is wrong on so many levels."
Did Kanye Deserve It? Yes. We're sure 'Ye didn't mean to offend people with his tweet. But he did. And he deserved for someone to call him out on it.
Celebrity 10
The Celebrity: Rosie Perez
What She Said: On Kanye West's song, "Good Morning," he rapped, "You got D's, m-----------, D's, Rosie Perez." So, in August 2008, Perez came out and said, "I'm a woman of a certain age and if you're gonna mention me in a song, have a little respect. He mentions my breasts. When you walk down the street and you have 15-year-old boys...and they're like, 'Yo, Rosie, D's, D's, Rosie Perez,' it's no good."
Did Kanye Deserve It? Yes. She's got a point. Not that 'Ye lost any sleep over her concerns. He's gotten pretty good at handling shots from all directions—from rappers or other celebs—and deflecting them. It sort of just comes with the job.
