Wiz Khalifa and Kanye West in twitter battle


The trouble began when Wiz Khalifa tweeted some fairly benign thoughts about the new title of Kanye's upcoming album, WAVES, arguing that Max B — a hip-hop artist currently serving a 75-year sentence for murder — is the true "wavy one." Seven hours after that tweetstorm, Khalifa tweeted this:

Hit this kk and become yourself.

— KOE (@wizkhalifa)January 27, 2016

It's here that Kanye took objection — interpreting "kk" as a veiled reference to his wife, Kim Kardashian. He responded with his own long, angry tweetstorm, full of shots at Khalifa and his ex-wife, Amber Rose, who previously dated Kanye:

Like, oh that’s Ye and I can put his wife’s initials on my twitter @Wizkhalifa

— KANYE WEST (@kanyewest) January 27, 2016

Khalifa quickly responded:

KK is weed fool. Reason's why your not wavy. 

— KOE (@wizkhalifa)January 27, 2016

This might sound like an unconvincing dodge. But Urban Dictionary — surely the most authoritative source for such things — backs Khalifa up: The sixth most popular definition for "KK" is "Khalifa Kush." Khalifa Kush even has its own page on the marijuana review site Leafly, which calls it a hybrid with notes of "sour lemon and pine" that was bred specifically for Khalifa.

No matter. Kanye, perhaps sensing his mistake, pivoted by starting a hashtag for Khalifa's cool pants:

I went to look at your twitter and you were wearing cool pants

— KANYE WEST (@kanyewest) January 27, 2016

I screen grabbed those pants and sent it to my style team#Wizwearscoolpants

— KANYE WEST (@kanyewest) January 27, 2016

Kanye went on for another 19 tweets, and you can check them out here if you care, but trust me — it didn't get any better than that.
