One day people are gonna look back on Instagram the way we look at the telegram. We'll struggle to explain to our grandkids that we once used this social media platform to post pictures of things we did and memes we saw as they wonder what the world was like before images were being shot directly into your brain (or whatever the wave will be in the future). But that's a long way off so for now, we're stuck explaining things like how Snoop Dogg now has "beef" with Iggy Azalea over a meme he posted on his Instagram.
It all started this weekend when Iggy was spotted leaving an airport sans makeup (pictured above) looking slightly less than her usually radiant self. Of course, social media just can't let celebrities live their lives looking less than perfect for even the briefest of moments so a meme popped up making fun of Iggy's looks. A meme which Snoop ended up posting on his Instagram.
Iggy has a history of taking her critics to task on her Twitter (including Complex when we gave a bad review of her album, The New Classic). So of course, later that day, an indignant Iggy shot back on her Twitter and fired off a couple of tweets directed at the Doggfather, though she later deleted them.

Blogs and news sites everywhere picked up the story and thus a "beef" was born. But both Snoop and Iggy seem bemused by the beef. Snoop took to his IG once again posting this with the caption, "This is news to me. I wish a bitch would !! Hahahahahahahah."
And Iggy got back on her Twitter to denounce TMZ's sensationalizing of the story with their typically TMZ headline, "Iggy Azalea FUMING MAD Over Snoop's Insta Slam."
lol, i wish writers exaggerated the positive shit going on in this world too. Im not "fuming mad" at anyone.

Well it turns out Snoop might actually be fuming mad. He took to his IG today and posted a series of images directed at Iggy and repeatedly referred to her as a "bitch."

Yup, it's 2014 and this is what "beef" is: A 42-year-old former gang banger threatening to slap a 24-year-old Australian woman because he posted a meme that she didn't like. Welp.
UPDATE: Iggy took to Twitter once again and fired a shot at Snoop.

and for the record i only had an issue with the meme in the first place because he acts another way to my face, he even follows me.
