The Internet won Kanye vs. Wiz Khalifa battle

We were so totally here for the Twitter beef between
Kanye West and Wiz Khalifa.
Allow us to catch you up on what happened
Wednesday in a way that's as family-friendly as
possible, as it got pretty profane.
West took offense to fellow rapper Khalifa discussing
the title of West's forthcoming album, "Waves." The
ever-chill Khalifa said he was off to smoke some "KK,"
which West took as a reference to his wife, Kim
Kardashian.
West unleashed a series of tweets directed at Khalifa
that discussed everything from his "cool pants" to his
child with West's ex, Amber Rose. But in a revelation
that might shame any rapper who claims the streets,
Khalifa let West know that "KK" is in fact a type of
marijuana.
Oops.
Then Rose stepped in with a tweet and a hashtag that
shut the whole thing down. (We leave it to you to look
that one up.) West announced that he was deleting
his tweets and keeping it moving.
By this point, the Internet was all over it, because it
was pretty epic. Think that's hyperbole? Check out
West's tweets read in a Shakespearean style.
The meme machine was also on overload.
Remember that discussion on how a dog should
wear pants? Of course that was revised to fit Khalifa.
Even Forbes got in on it, with a story about who earns
more (for the record, it's West).
West claimed that Khalifa lost 2 million followers as a
result of their "beef," but according to Twitter, Wiz
actually gained more than 61,000 Twitter followers by
Wednesday afternoon.
In the midst of it all, West doesn't want the world to
forget that his new album should be the focus.
