They sure do love a good tweet...

More Azealia Banks More Azealia Banks

Beefs, nude photos, oddball rants and inspired musings - the social media giant that is Twitter has become less of a networking site and more of an entertainment arena for us general folk since its inception. Musicians especially have provided some great entertainment over the years on this global forum.

Here's a few prolific musician twitterers - the internet tells us that this is a real term by the way - for your entertainment. Warning - you may be a tad confused and definitely amused by some of these tweets. Enjoy...and hey, you may learn a thing or two.

AZEALIA BANKS

Where do we begin with the feisty Harlem rapper? Banks - or YUNG RAPUNXEL as she calls herself, doesn't like to hold anything back on her Twitter account. She loves a good feud - taking on the likes of UK pop singer Rita Ora, rock legends the Stone Roses, celebrity gossip kingpin Perez Hilton and our very own Iggy Azalea. Her latest beef was with Brit Lily Allen - the latter calling out Banks for being a one hit wonder, which did not go down well at all with the rapper - branding Allen's kids "ugly" and having multiple digs at her lack of a recent career.

But it's not all slanging matches with AB. She's really just like the rest of us. Likes wine, hates bugs…

COURTNEY LOVE

The world according to Courtney Love is an interesting one to say the least. The one-time wild child of rock is as known for her controversy and knack for being tabloid fodder as she is for her musical talent. But Twitter it seems has provided Love an avenue to spread her always unique preachings, wisdom and perspective to the world. Let's just forget that one time when she unloaded on Dave Grohl on her private account, accusing the former Nirvana drummer of trying to crack onto her daughter Frances Bean Cobain...

PHIL JAMIESON

The Grinners frontman seems to love a good tweet. Now he's certainly not on the Banks or Love level of tweeting. We just love his little musings on modern world problems, which we can totally relate to.

And considering Jamieson always has a great answer for the hard questions thrown his way in interviews, we love that he too can ask his followers the important questions.

TYLER, THE CREATOR

We've already covered Tyler's most recent Twitter rant, which featured some not so nice words TYPED LIKE SO. But, we couldn't have a list like this and leave him out. The below tweets from the Odd Future rapper can be filed under the WTF category. Seriously Tyler - WTF?

AMANDA BYNES

Yes, we are very aware that Amanda Bynes is NOT a musician, regardless of her budding rap career (ugh) or her appearance in the movie Hairspray. It seems though that the recent headline grabber and semi-retired actress has an issue with some of music's biggest names. Sadly for us, a lot of the best tweets have been deleted by Bynes - although she's adamant the account is being handled by an imposter. So, here's a little rundown for you...

The Hollywood starlet attacked Rihanna in a series of tweets in which she said "you look so ugly tryin to be white" and "Chris Brown beat you because you're not pretty enough" to which the Umbrella singer simply replied:

Bynes also professed her love, then hate, then love again for rapper Drake in another random and seemingly continuous rant session, at one point branding him "ugly" - we can't keep up with this shit, but something tells us she won't be winning him over anytime soon.

Maybe Bynes should take our wisdom bearer Courtney Love's advice...
