2024: the year of the celebrity feud
Every year has their Family Circle selection box of celebrity fights and unexpected feuds. This year was no exception. Thank God. Celeb petty spats keeps the world spinning and the Daily Mail journalists in a job.
Blake Lively VS Justin Baldoni
Everyone suddenly seemed to be hook line and sinkered to an author called Colleen Hoover and her book 'It Ends With Us'. Apart from seeing the cover plastered over every micro-influencer's Snapchat stories, it was announced that the book written by the world's third most famous Colleen was becoming a 2024 film. Propped up by Hollywood's very own iron curtain of a couple that is Blake Lively and her hubby Ryan Reynolds (who were both heavily involved in the production of the film) the film resembling a Channel 5 daytime movie, quickly became hugely anticipated. However the cast rivalry became the main event. Rumours flew from all directions: accusations that Baldoni fat-shamed Lively when he wanted to know her weight before picking her up in a scene, to none of the cast mentioning Baldoni in the press tour, Hoover unfollowing Baldoni on Insta, to the alleged rumour of creative differences. The metaphorical she/it hit the fan with the writer's room drama. Appaz, both Lively and Baldoni directed their own cuts of the film and when shown to audiences, the latter's cut was a standout fan fave. But with the allure and power of Ryan Reynolds along with his buttering up of Hoover, Lively's cut (and her version of the film poster) won the race. Peak
Sabrina Carpenter VS Camila Cabello
This drama was so powerful it literally birthed Carpenter's song 'Taste'. The disheveled will they/won't they couple, Camila Horse in Spanish and Shawn Mendes faced the wrath of the other woman, Miss Sabs Carpenter. It's a messy love Isocoles, with Shawn supposdely having a brief fling with Sabs, before shortly being seen with his (now ex-again),Camila very soon after. It's been an ambush of indirects, shady song lyrics and sneaky sneaky wordplay. Say what you will about miss senorita, but strong points were made when she purposely a finger over her lips instead of finishing the line 'but friends don't know the way you..' (guys the final word in this lyrics is 'taste'! aka the title of Sabrina's song that discusses the somewhat messy overlap of the fling). Exhausting
Drake VS Kendrick Lamar
Not really my stratesphere but I did see a lot of this fued against my will. I realised the depth of this drama when I saw a joint tip jar in Joe & The Juice that had one side for Team Drake and one for Kendrick. Dirty money talks. Apparently a big part of rap culture is diss tracks and huge racks (made the last chunk up becasue the ABAB rhyme scheme was there on a paper plate). So after years of diss tracks and i'm better than you lingustics, Drake appaz took it too far (there's always one) and slagged of Kendrick's long time, behind closed doors girlfriend (the number ONE sacrilige of diss tracks). Then King Kenny fired back with some lyrical genius about Drake: 'tryna strike a chord and it's probably A Minor' (allbeit, a hefty lyric loaded with explosive accusationss). Drake denies these accusations obv. Plus Millie Bobbeh Brown is married off now so what's the point. Jk jk xxxxx
why was 6 scared of 7? because millie bobby brown was Drake's 11/10 |
