In your weekly reminder that the Internet is a great place for doing dumb things you'll regret later, Snoop Dogg, Iggy Azalea and Nick Young were waging a social media war over an Instagram picture.

This weird saga began in earnest Friday when ETOnline posted a picture of Azalea without makeup. Snoop Dogg responded by posting a picture of a person with cornrows to his Instagram account.

The beef is officially squashed.

Snoop Dogg posted an Instagram video Wednesday afternoon saying he spoke with Iggy Azalea's manager, the rapper T.I., and that he apologizes for the "bad talk" toward the Australian recording artist.

Fighting over pussy.

I honestly have no clue as to whom Nick Young or Iggy Azalea are.

Is Azalea a woman? Because it sounds like a womans name. Notice how the article carefully avoids any gender pronouns when talking about he/her/xor...

You guys are to old and cool to be gossiping about a twitter beef between these celebs.

[Kingsley Davis]

Gone from "bitches ain't shit but hos and tricks" to twatter beef and apologizing to a....bitch?

Not to mention too male.

Most celeb "feuds" are works of fiction engineered by publicists to get both parties front-and-center in the news. I assume there is something either of them will be promoting soon.

Here's an old story from MSNBC that looks behind the celeb feud concept. It quotes media types like Perez Hilton and Michael Musto who come right out and say it's usually BS: "Welcome to the Thunderdome: Celeb Feuds are Hot."

Pettiness aside it's pretty funny.

Snoop scored a critical hit with this one



Nick Young's support was pretty weak. The "midlife crisis insult" is damn near cliche when going after someone older than you.

But overall, good stuff on Snoops end.

I've always thought Iggy looked like a glazed doughnut...

This bitch is going to be the face of hip hop!

What a joke.....

Why would Snoop even care about this person.

Damn, she's skimping.

A G-class Benz with Kumho Solos KR21 tires?

Nice car but those tires are killing the G-class vibe. They're okay on a Camry or Civic though.

Her rap career consists of one Gold album, so she hasn't really made any money yet. That whip is at best a lease, or better yet, someone at the label signed for it and she's just getting to drive it around.

It's not easy making money in the rap game, one Gold album isn't going to get it done.

The thing is though that she's marketing like a pop artist only with a "hip hop" sticker attached. Her publicity and massive(and probably fake) ass are getting her lots of money.

Most of these people are on what are called "360 Deals". They're slaves; someone else is getting rich off that chick, she gets to walk around just looking like she has something.

If fake ass was getting chicks rich, then urban models would be swimming in money; they're not.

Like I said, one album doesn't get a rapper paid.

I've done some biz in that world, so I know a little bit about it.

Wendy Day broke the rap game down a long time ago, she wrote a piece called something like "Rappers Don't Make Real Loot", you'd be surprised, guys you think are banking because they have a bunch of videos and are always on the radio, don't really have money like that -- remember, they were staging MTV Cribs.

^What do you mean by urban model?

[Roosh]

Serious question: what's her race?

She is white, but with a fair amount of Australian Aboriginal admixture.

Urban modeling is a euphemism for modeling within the hip-hop/rap niche. There's very little actual money in the industry rather those "models", try to get featured in magazines like King or Straight Stuntin', as a way to publicize themselves and eventually get sponsored by rappers or athletes. They also use Twitter and IG for this very reason broadcasting their "booking information" on these sites as well. You'll also find that a lot of these girls will get flown out to very exotic locales like Dubai or Gabon, usually solo, which means that they are basically escorts for the rich and famous around the world, including oil princes in the Middle East. They are usually characterized by cartoonish measurements, including huge asses that many get through sucking fat out of their stomachs and injected back into their asses.

Theres no money because there is too many of the same things. And the vultures have the power all locked down.

When the majority of a bands/singers followers are sheep just following the IN thing you're looking at a bleak spot in the wilderness should you choose to not use any of the mainstream media outlets.

I agree but she's still definitely making money. I had a pretty good marketing professor in the last year of my undergrad and he had worked with some big names in the music industry. He said musicians don't make money from albums because most of them are locked into shit deals with the record companies. Musicians make their money from concerts, worldwide tours, promotions, sponsorships, and merchandise etc. While I agree that the album itself hasn't made her rich but she's definitely raking in some dough from all of the above.

My professor also made the point that artists WANT YOU to download their music for free. They don't make much money from albums sales and singles anyway as you alluded to. They hope that you like their music and go listen to them live in concert. That's where they make their money. This is also the reason that most big name artists end up opening their record labels and production companies. Then they get to sign young up and coming artists and make money from their music. The cycle continues.

Look again... Are we sure that's not Val Kilmer?

No. I will not be your huckleberry.
