Taylor Swift is pretty well-known for dissing exes in songs, from Harry Styles to John Mayer. In 2010, Taylor wrote "Dear John" after her split from John Mayer. He later told Rolling Stone about the song, "I didn't deserve it. I'm pretty good at taking accountability now, and I never did anything to deserve that. It was a really lousy thing for her to do. I was really caught off-guard, and it really humiliated me at a time when I'd already been dressed down. I mean, how would you feel if, at the lowest you've ever been, someone kicked you even lower?"

Big Sean released "IDFWU," which was a pretty curse-ridden song about being happy about leaving a relationship and finding someone new. He released it shortly after his relationship with Naya Rivera crumbled. Big Sean later told Complex that his breakup with Naya inspired these lyrics, especially the line, "And every day I wake up celebrating sh-t, why? / Cause I just dodged a bullet from a crazy b-tch." That's got to sting!

Lyrics included, "I tried to become all/ That you expect of me/ And if it was a failure/ I don't give a bleep." "Don't speak/I know just what you're saying/So please stop explaining /Don't tell me cause it hurts/Don't speak I know what you're thinking/I don't need your reasons /Don't tell me cause it hurts."
