When Amber Rose roasted Kanye West: Twitter showdowns we'll never forget

On a seemingly regular Wednesday in January 2016, Kanye West decided to unleash a barrage of tweets – a whopping 25 of them – aimed squarely at rapper Wiz Khalifa. But amid the stream of messages, two stood out. Yeezy jabbed at his shared history with model Amber Rose, who had been in relationships with both Kanye and Wiz. The stinging barbs? Well, let's just say Kanye suggested that Wiz had been trapped by their shared ex, culminating in a potshot at Wiz and Amber's child. Ouch.

However, Amber Rose, a force to be reckoned with, wasn't one to sit back. Her clapbacks came swift and fierce. "Awww @kanyewest are u mad I’m not around to play in ur a--hole anymore? #FingersInTheBooty--B-tch?" she tweeted, with a follow-up zinger: "Now u wanna delete ur tweets cuz Muva has arrived? #TwitterFingers #UrGettingBodiedByAStripperN-gga." Mic. Dropped. 

Echoes of past tweets

Like a post-party hangover, Kanye seemingly regretted his actions, deleting all the tweets that referenced Rose and Khalifa. With a then-upcoming album, Waves, set for a February release, Mr. West appeared eager to shift focus. Yet, digital footprints linger, especially when they're as spicy as this feud.
