WASHINGTON, July 22 (UPI) — Bruno Mars put a satirical spin on the controversial post-VMA nomination “feuds” when he called out fellow entertainer Ed Sheeran on Twitter Tuesday.
The “Uptown Funk” singer tweeted, “Yo I want in on this twitter Beef!! VMAs is the new WWF!!” before choosing his target. “@Edsheeran [expletive] You!”
Later that night, Sheeran tweeted a terse response, writing, “any way we do dis you gon’ come up short.”
Mars shot back with a clever pun (“I can’t believe we’re Sheeran this in public”) which prompted an interesting attempt at out-rhyming by his opponent.
@BrunoMars but all my crew know that Bruno has eyebrows dat be uno. And plays Cluedo with SuBo, but you lose coz you blow— Ed Sheeran (@edsheeran) July 22, 2015
The cleverest part of Mars and Sheeran’s Twitter feud was the “Smack Down” poster made by a fan, which Mars retweeted with the message, “SHOW YOURSELF!!!”

Ed Sheeran’s “Thinking Out Loud” music video is pinned up against Mark Ronson and Mars’ “Uptown Funk” in both the Video of the Year and Best Male Video categories.
The artists are also competing with Taylor Swift’s “Bad Blood” and Beyonce’s “7/11″ for the top spot.
