3. Larry Beyince @DragonFlyJonez Location: Unknown Followers: 51,000 Pick a day that Twitter is particularly buzzing about a topic or some celebrity has made a goof, you can expect that @DragonFlyJonez will be right in the mix cooking them up like nobody’s business.
4. Ice @OfficiallyIce Location: Unknown Followers: 75, 500 Ice is a wild dude, and even steps up on his soapbox to get serious, but this man clearly knows how to troll with the best of them and it’s mostly clever at that.
5. Ras The Destroyer @Smooth_Orator Location: Unknown Followers: 15, 2000 Anyone who follows @Smooth_Orator knows he has no filter and will speak his mind forcefully at all times.

6. Tweetgood Mac @SnottieDrippen Location: San Diego, California Followers: 14, 700 Snottie usually talks about the NBA, but he’ll also join in on slander when it’s proper. Plus, Snottie earned a spot in the Slander Hall Of Fame with the entire #MeetMeInTemecula debacle in 2014.
8. Crissle @Crissles Location: New York, New York Followers: 60, 300 Crissles puts in work as one half of The Read podcast with her partner @KidFury, but she’s also making moves on Apple Music’s Beats1 and generally being awesome to boot.

10. Lil Duval @LilDuval Location: Atlanta, Georgia Followers: 851,000 Lil Duval might have been one of the earliest slander slingers on Twitter, and has shown little signs in slowing that down.

11. Fresh B Pimpin @FreshSaga Location: Philadelphia, Pennsylvania Followers: 23,800 Fresh made his presence felt in a series of Vine videos that catapulted him to Internet fame, and he’s spread his zany comic flair onto Instagram and also Twitter.
