7. M.I.A. vs. Anderson Cooper
The M.I.A. vs. Anderson Cooper Twitter feud is probably one of the least expected ones on this list. The Sri Lankan rapper tweeted out a link to a news program about terrorism in Sri Lanka, writing “someone should make @AndersonCooper watch it/film it and show the world what happens when respected journos get it wrong.” She was likely referring to an instance when the blog associated with Cooper’s CNN show posted an article about her, referring to M.I.A. as “Lady Tamil Tiger.” Cooper responded by tweeting “You are mistaken. I never called you a terrorist. I don’t even know who you are other than the lady who sang at the Superbowl.” Ouch.
