When looking back at some of 2014’s most heated celebrity feuds, an argument can be made that this was a banner year for infighting among celebrities.

Conflicts both real and imagined manifested themselves on reality shows, in elevators and via social media, and no type of celebrity was immune. Hit the jump and weigh in on how you felt about 2014’s most heated celebrity feuds.

Jay Z vs. Solange Knowles

We’ll never know exactly what happened in that elevator back in May, but whatever it was got Solange quite upset. Her close quarter swings and kicks made this feud one of 2014’s best.

Taylor Swift and Katy Perry

Taylor Swift vs. Katy Perry and Diplo

There were a lot of subliminal shots exchanged between Perry and Swift before Diplo hopped in and suggested a Kickstarter to enhance Swift’s derriere. We all stopped caring around the time Lorde jumped in the fray.

"Freeway Ricky" Ross and Rick Ross

“Freeway” Ricky Ross vs. Rick Ross

As long as William Leonard Roberts is rapping under a name inspired by former L.A. cocaine kingpin Ricky Ross, there will be no end to this feud.

50 Cent and Floyd Mayweather

50 Cent vs. Floyd Mayweather

Over the years, we’ve learned that 50 Cent is not the one to beef with. But Fif putting up $750,000 for charity if Floyd could read one page of a Harry Potter book was just a friendly reminder.

Orlando Bloom and Justin Bieber

Justin Bieber vs. Orlando Bloom

The image of Legolas from all those Lord of the Rings movies duffing out Bieber for making snide remarks about Bloom’s ex-wife Miranda Kerr is hilarious.

Iggy Azalea vs. Everybody

So far, 2014 saw Iggy Azalea drawing the ire of Snoop Dogg, Azealia Banks, Nicki Minaj, and to a much lesser extent Q-Tip and Solange Knowles. Call it cultural appropriation or a lack of self-awareness, but few Grammy nominees get this much grief…not even Macklemore.

Wendy Williams and NeNe Leakes

NeNe Leakes vs. Wendy Williams

Wendy Williams has seen her share of beef, but for Leakes and Williams to be essentially beefing over how a purse looks is a plotline right out of middle school homeroom.

Stevie J vs. Benzino

All you have to do is watch the September Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta reunion show to see how quickly these two turned from friends to enemies.

Bette Midler Ariana Grande

Bette Midler vs. Ariana Grande

In a case of old diva versus young diva, Bette Middler accused Ariana Grande of “slithering around” and admonished her, “You don’t have to make a w***e out of yourself.” There was a bit of back and forth on Twitter before the world collectively moved on.

Adrienne Bailon and Kim Kardashian

Adrienne Bailon vs. Kim and Khloe Kardashian

When Bailon made an offhand remark about her ex-boyfriend Rob Kardashian in a September issue of Latina magazine, the Kardashian clan struck back. Kim and Khloe sent out some Twitter shade, and to her credit, Bailon took her digital fade in style.

Chris Brown vs. Drake

Break up to make up. After Breezy and Drake finally squashed their old beef over Rihanna, Brown accused Drake of smashing his ex-girlfriend Karrueche Tran. Someone should probably start hiding Brown’s phone when he gets heated.

Azealia Banks vs. T.I.

Clearly don’t like each other. With Banks calling T.I. a race traitor for backing Iggy Azalea, and Tip calling Azealia a “musty mouthed thot,” this won’t end anytime soon.

James Franco and Seth Rogen

Seth Rogen and James Franco vs. North Korea

It takes a special kind of beef to anger an entire nation, and with The Interview, Seth Rogen and James Franco did just that. Their Kim Jong-un spoof was ultimately responsible for an estimated $70 million in damages when North Korea allegedly hacked Sony and caused The Interview to be pulled from theaters.

Diddy vs. Drake

There’s no photo or video evidence, but all signs point to Puff going “0 to 100” on Drake real quick for allegedly jacking a Boi-1Da beat and making it his own.
