14 Times Celebrities Majorly Trolled the World With Their Merch
Gone are the days of celebrity merchandise that simply lists all the city stops on an artist’s latest tour. No, dear friend, now we’re in the era of “If it doesn’t have an inherent WTF factor, it’s not getting picked at the merch booth.” And if it happens to throw shade at another celebrity or a group of haters, even better. From thousand-dollar tears to extremely thirsty buttons, these are the most ridiculous and troll-ificent celebrity merch of late. Stock up while you can!

Cardi B skyrocketed to iconic meme status when her elementary school picture became the mascot for bad little kids with big attitudes everywhere. Clearly Cardi didn’t care that some people thought she looked like the type of child who bites other kids and so she gifted the world with these T-shirts. Thanks, Cardi.

Speaking of Cardi, following her beef with Nicki Minaj, Nicki released a line of merch with the phrase “Nicki stopped my bag” plastered across T-shirts and backpacks.
The merch was a direct and incredibly shady response to how Cardi accused Nicki of trying to mess with her bank account. In an Instagram post from September, Cardi wrote, “I let you sneak diss me, I let you lie on me, I let you attempt to stop my bags, f*ck up the way I eat!”
It was clearly all very LOL to Nicki because she trolled Cardi so hard with these items.

Harry Styles is so damn fine and he knows it. Yeah, this button is a reference to his “Kiwi” song that repeats the line “I’m having your baby, it’s none of your business” 22 times, and he’s definitely trolling all his thirsty fans. I mean, there’s no way he wrote this song and made this button without thinking about how millions of teens and 20somethings would shout it at the top of their lungs and proudly pin the accessory to their shirts. Clever guy.

When an aggressive photographer shouted at Ariana Grande for not looking his way, she epically responded, “And what about it?” Ariana seems to take this approach with pretty much anything that does not serve her. Drake and Kanye’s weird Twitter feud? What about it? Homegirl has a single to promote! She is not bothered, and everyone would do well to subscribe to this philosophy.
And she wouldn’t be Ariana if she didn’t say “thank u, next” to her original troll-y shirts and come out with something that exudes total Big Dick Energy. For her current Sweetener tour, Ariana thought it would be hilarious to put a blue stain on a sweater that looked way too similar to a penis for comfort. TBH, she was on to something because everyone thought it was so heinous that the Twitter reactions were gold. Never change, Ari.

You know how everyone jokes about how Zayn Malik loves to talk about sex and how much he has it and how much he likes it? He’s heard it all before and, nope, he doesn’t care because he’s too busy getting some and designing T-shirts to remind everyone about it! Guess the joke’s on us, though, ’cause he’s raking in $35 for each of these babies.
Bet the people calling for a Beyoncé boycott (LOL) never expected the deity to flip the script and make a bunch of money from their tired attempt to discredit her “Formation” video and Super Bowl performance.
If you were lucky enough to catch Beyoncé live and in person on her Formation World Tour, you might have snatched up one of these ironic bad boys. Sadly, Queen Bey isn’t selling them on her official site at the moment, so you’ll have to wait until she graciously decides to restock or buy from an unauthorized vendor at your own risk.

It’s been a while since we were thrown in the middle of Taylor Swift, Kanye West, and Kim Kardashian’s ginormous feud. After Kim labeled T-Swift a snake for allegedly throwing Kanye under the bus when he came out with his song “Famous,” Taylor embraced her spirit animal and splashed snakes across nearly every single piece of her merch. There are sweaters, sunglasses, sparkly rings-more s-s-s-stuff than you’d ever want or need. Looks like Tay was at least able to cash in on the feud.

“I feel like this year is really about, like, the year of just realizing stuff. And everyone around me, we’re all just, like, realizing things” is something that Kylie Jenner really said. And even though her epiphany was widely mocked on the internet for being, well, kinda dumb, Ky and her bank account definitely got the last laugh.

It is a truth universally acknowledged that Rihanna DGAF. As part of her Anti album and tour merch, BadGalRiRi didn’t even put her name on her shirts because she rightly assumed that everyone would be able to identify the brains behind “Most Likely to Not Give a F*ck.”

Not long after Noah Cyrus went through her very public and tearful breakup with rapper Lil Xan, she came out with a merch collab with Pizza Slime. In an attempt to turn her broken heart into a bank account full of cash (pretty genius, if you ask me), she literally collected her tears-12 per bottle-and sold them for $12,000. The tears were arguably her most ambitious and troll-ific merch drop, but she also debuted some sweaters for fans with more modest bank accounts. If you want to rep your Noah fandom, get yourself either a “Noah Cyrus Sucks” or a “Sry I’m Trash” sweater.

Oh, what? You thought this daddy shirt was for real-life zaddy Michael B. Jordan? Hah. Nah, girl. This is obviously an Ed Sheeran shirt. Apparently, “I’m the daddy” is something Ed’s security guard, Kevin Myers, says all the time, so Ed decided to pay homage to the quote with a shirt that makes us all scratch our heads.

As they say, the devil works hard, but Kris Jenner works harder and also takes a 10 percent cut of every crazy-profitable deal her kids make. This shirt exists so you never forget that-and also so she can take home a bit more moola from the American people.

Talentless? Scott Disick? How dare you lob such an insult. This year, Lord Disick founded the clothing company Talentless, which is pretty much just a line of plain T-shirts, some of which have the brand’s name emblazoned on them. Sure, it’s not exactly the most original idea, but Scott’s venture seems to be doing better than Arthur George, at least.
