DiGiorno Pizza has responded to Pizza Hut’s epic Twitter burn against Kanye West, adding to the already buzzed about digital crossfire since the Chicago rapper started tweeting about his legendary accomplishments and need for more money.
The Twitter (TWTR) battle started when West tweeted out a series of requests for more money to fund his creative endeavors, claiming that he is $53 million in debt. Along with the request came a stream of his accomplishments, which were put into a sort of visual resume. Pizza Hut entered the mix when the brand quickly let West know that he wasn’t up to its standards.

Now, DiGiorgno is stirring the pot with a response to Pizza Hut’s takedown. And it wouldn’t be a branded tweet if it also didn’t include a plug for its baked-at-home pizzas.
.@pizzahutuk We're positive Ye doesn't need references…or delivery.

As a fun fact, it turns out that resume was a gift from Ed Sheeran originally.
@AmyJoMartin @kanyewest We received the email last week. Apparently @edsheeran wrote it for him. Kanye loves #collaborating on everything.

And, it wouldn’t be a true Twitter brand battle if the fans didn’t get in the mix. The DiGiorgno response garnered its own collection of responses from fans and haters, alike.

West has yet to respond to either Pizza Hut or DiGiorgno.
