Have you ever wanted to see Meghan Trainor, Ricky Martin, James Taylor, Little Big Town, Common, Ed Sheeran, Kelly Clarkson, Charlie Wilson, Blake Shelton, Wiz Khalifa, Josh Groban, Demi Lovato, The Killers, Drake, One Direction, Lionel Richie, Rita Ora and Mumford & Sons read mean Tweets about themselves?

If you did then you’re in luck, as Jimmy Kimmel rounded up some of the biggest names in music to take part in his ‘Mean Tweets’ series.

Highlights include Drake reading out “Drake looks like a ferret with a baby afro” and 1D looking lost after reading “Don’t understand the world’s obsession with One Direction. What is attractive about little boys with gross hair and skinny jeans”. Watch below.

Another stand-out is the always brilliant Lionel Richie: “If Lionel Richie wants Once, Twice, Three times a Lady… Then he’s a picky Mother F**ker! Take what you get A**hole”.

Other celebrities to have read mean Tweets about themselves include The Rock, who previously appeared on Kimmel’s show alongside Liam Neeson.
