Hi, guys, and thanks for joining me for the latest edition of 10 Twitter Moments, We Are: The Guard's weekly column dedicated to the home of the #10YearChallenge, the Frasier theme song in the style of The National, and the cheese sandwich that brought down the entire Fyre Festival (Have you watched the Hulu and Netflix documentaries yet?!). It's also home to our favorite celebrities and their 280-character thoughts and feelings, the very best of which I've once again rounded up for you below *pointing-down finger emoji*. Stop whatever it is that you're doing for the next 10 minutes or so, then, as it's time to check in with the following tweets from Ja Rule, Cardi B, Halsey, and lots more!

JA RULE VS THE INTERNET

The most entertaining part of this whole Fyre Festival fallout has to be Ja Rule's Twitter page. It's been genuinely hilarious watching the, ahem, “rap mogul” trying and failing to defend his involvement with the event ever since the Hulu and Netflix documentaries came out. Meanwhile, Fiddy Cent is over here watching this entire thing go down like:

 

CARDI B DRAAAGS TOMI LAHREN

Cardi B took time out from getting it on with Offset over the weekend to straight-up ROAST Fox News commentator Tomi Lahren on Twitter. To say that the whole thing made for a truly tasty spectacle would be an understatement, with Cardi full-on ENDING Tomi with the greatest clapback in the history of clapbacks. No, really – “Leave me alone I will dog walk you” is hereby my new life mantra. #Cardi4Prez

 

JAMES BLAKE AND JAMEELA JAMIL ARE #RELATIONSHIPGOALS

James Blake is in LUUURVE with Jameela Jamil – or, for The Good Place fans out there, Tahani – and he wants the whole world to know about it on his stunning fourth album Assume Form. Move aside, Grimes and Elon Musk – there's a hot new indie power couple in town!

 

CHIEF KEEF IS THE UNLIKELY FACE OF BED BATH & BEYOND

And this is why you should never tweet while high. Jokes aside, can Bed Bath & Beyond PLEASE hook Chief Keef up with discount, already?! It's not like this is the first time that the man has posted about his love for the place and something tells me that he'd very much appreciate 20% off those dope Berkshire Sweaterknit Blankets.

 

MARIAH CAREY HAS THE MOST ICONIC RESPONSE TO THE #10YEARCHALLENGE

“'Time?!' I don't know her.”

 

 

SOULJA BOY IS THE INTERNET SENSATION THAT WE DESERVE

You already know that the Soulja Boy comeback is the greatest comeback of 2019. Following on from his appearance on The Breakfast Club, during which he called out “Drake?! Draaake?!” for copying his flow, the “Crank That” rapper has become a full-time Twitter meme, with everyone who's anyone getting in on the Soulja action – including Drake's former archenemy Meek Mill:

 

ST. VINCENT WOULD LIKE TO REMIND ALL WHITE MEN

Wait, did @st_vincent just subtweet @thekillers?!

 

@FUCKTYLER IS BACK

HALSEY CAN DO EVERYTHING

It's come to my attention that some people are just too talented for their own good. Case in point: Halsey. Like being one of the most incredible singer-songwriters of our generation isn't enough, it turns out that Ashley Nicolette Frangipane is an amazing artist too. This painting of YUNGBLUD is brilliant and it seems that I'm not the only one who thinks so. P.S. DROP THE COLLAB, GUYS!

 

CAMILA CABELLO IS VERY EXCITED ABOUT PERFORMING AT THE GRAMMYS

Camila Cabello is basically one big kid, isn't she?! Haha. And while I can't WAIT to watch the former Fifth Harmony star positively slay the GRAMMYs in February alongside the rest of these performers, what I'm REALLY looking forward to is more epic seat-dancing moments from Camila like this:
