alright number eight beyhive mistakes
Rachael Ray for Rachel Roy the beyhive
is the one fandom that doesn’t play
after Beyonce dropped lemonade in April
2016 fans started speculating wildly
trying to figure out who Becky with the
good hair was from sorry Becky with the
girl there had been rumors that jay-z
cheated on Beyonce with designer Rachel
Roy and that’s rumor Roy herself fueled
by posting a pic on Instagram with the
caption good hair don’t care
fans began spamming her account with
lemon and B emojis but the real kicker
came when fans confused Rachel Roy with
Rachel Ray the celebrity chef yeah when
does it get explosive poor Rachel Ray
took things in stride making light of
the situation by posting a picture of a
chicken recipe with a caption telling
fans to make it a family affair he
better call Becky with the good hair
number 7 Jesse Hughes in November 2015
tragedy struck when the bat Oakland
theater in Paris became the target of a
terrorist attack leading to the deaths
of 89 people at the venue at the time of
the attack the band Eagles of Death
Metal had been performing none of the
band members were harmed but fast
forward a few months to win frontman
Jesse Hughes made headlines by publicly
claiming the attacks were an inside job
out of respect for the police still
investigating it I won’t make a definite
statement but I’ll say it seems rather
obvious that they had a reason not to
show up
he said he’d felt that something was not
right with security inside the venue
that night and that he’d seen Muslims
celebrating the attack in the streets
his comments were not well received and
he was barred from returning to the
battle an on the anniversary of the
attack number 6 Kid Cudi’s beef with
Drake and Kanye back in September 2016
Kid Cudi took to Twitter to sound off on
rap artists who use ghost riders he
named checked Kanye West and Drake in
the process and said that they don’t
care about him his supposed mentor Kayne
fired back during a concert saying I
birthed you but later backtracked and
wished Cudi the best
[Applause]
Drake on the other hand responded with a
brutal diss track two birds one stone
and made low blows attacking Cuddy’s
mental health you would a man on the
moon now you just go through your face
life with a hangry of fails
unfortunately that turned out to be
oddly prophetic as Cuddy later checked
into rehab for depression and suicidal
thoughts from rehab
Cuddy clapped back urging Drizzy to say
it to his face we’ll certainly be
watching in 2017 to see if this feud
continues I got enemies got a lot of
enemies got a lot of people trying to
dreamy a synergy number 5
Cory Feldman’s Today Show performances
if you know if you try to stop us a vamp
out in any way then I’ll stake you
without even thinking twice about it in
the 80s he was known as one of the two
Coreys

has faded in 2016 he tried to make a
comeback by taking a stab at a music
career releasing his fifth studio album
angelic to the core
he appeared on NBC’s Today Show in
September to promote the album by
performing the song go for it with
special help from his angels
polishing your buddies until

an understatement and the video of
course went viral with Corey taking to
Twitter to defend himself to capitalize
on his notoriety the show invited him
back to perform take a stand a month
later I would name down my bag just to
give the world watching
right now
number four iphone goes wireless we
believe in a wireless future one thing
everyone loves about their iPhone is
having your whole iTunes collection
right there in your pocket Apple made it
harder for us to enjoy the simple
pleasure in 2016 when they announce that
the new iPhone 7 would not have a
headphone jack rumors about this had
been swirling for quite some time before
the September 7th release date but
consumers worst nightmares came true
when it was confirmed and of course the
new wireless air pods deliver incredible
sound instead of the traditional Jack
iPhone 7 users have to use wireless
headphones or Apple’s lightning port and
just like the phone neither option is
cheap considering how iconic Apple’s
white earbuds have become we’re still
scratching our heads about this move but
maybe we’ll get over it it is a
breakthrough design the air pods deliver
truly an apple magical experience number
three Kesha’s legal dispute with Sony
[Music]
since 2014 Kesha has been involved in a
legal battle with her record label Sony
and dr. Luke one of the biggest pop
producers around alleging that he’d
sexually and emotionally abused her over
the course of their working relationship
Kesha sue dr. Luke and later filed a
lawsuit against Sony asking to be freed
from her recording contract so she would
not have to work with him anymore
curb unless they look like mick jagger
2016 saw Kesha face several setbacks
with the judge denying her request for
an injunction and dismissing most of her
claims against dr. Luke leaving her
career at a standstill
of course Kesha was supported by fans
with the hashtag free Kesha trending on
social media and pop Giants like Kelly
Clarkson Taylor Swift Adele and Lady
Gaga also offering their support number
to Kanye 2016 was a rough year for Yeezy
starting with a push back he felt due to
the delays on the life of Pablo he
stayed in the headlines pretty much all
year whether it was due to his feud with
Taylor Swift over a lyric and his song
famous I feel like me and Taylor my
still has sex why I made that bitch
famous god damn his Twitter fight with
Wiz Khalifa and Amber Rose hashtag
fingers in the booty ass bitch and for
the rats he spouted over the course of
his saints Pablo tour a tour he canceled
altogether in November
his Tourette’s ran the gamut he claimed
jay-z had hired hitmen to kill him and
admitted he would have voted for Donald
Trump had he voted at all

a mental hospital perhaps explaining
some of his erratic behavior politics
