The All-Time Funniest Celebrity Tweets That Were Promptly Deleted
Just because any A-list celebrity can tell millions of strangers exactly what they're thinking about Kanye West at any time, doesn’t mean they should tell millions of strangers exactly what they’re thinking about Kanye West at any time.
It’s one of the most important lessons that everyone learns when they get their first smartphone — the internet is forever, and anything you put on there, no matter what little reassuring “delete” button rests in the bottom corner may have you think, will live forever, too. However, if our parents’ warnings weren’t enough to stop us from posting cringeworthy pictures on Myspace back when social media first invented the embarrassing but hilarious viral post, all the media training in the world can’t stop some of entertainment’s biggest actors, singers, rappers and athletes from saying some outrageously out-of-pocket nonsense that will live forever in oh-so-many saved screenshots.
Don't Miss
Right now, Twitter is reflecting over the fact that deleting a hilarious and slightly controversial tweet makes that post even funnier, and so many of the biggest names in music, movies and sports have proven this point to be true so, so many times over:
These are just a few of the screenshots that have come out during the beginning of this ceremonial receipt-checking, but more fans and haters of every celebrity who foolishly started a Twitter account in the early 2010s dip into their treasure trove of screenshots with each passing day and remind us of what the most glamorous and celebrated really think about on a daily basis.
In fact, speaking of Kanye West, his old tweets (from before he became a full-on Nazi) are some of the more foundational outrageous posts in the site's history, and a wealth of screenshots is out there saved in various folders labeled “Kanye Is Crazy.”
Crack open the vault, Kanye fans — the world needs to remember the time he tweeted, “I no longer have a manager. I can't be managed.”
