Kendall Jenner’s tweet on Tuesday night in which she wished “things could be easier” set the Twittersphere alight, with followers blasting the 17-year-old for being ungrateful for all her good fortune.

Chief among the detractors was Frances Bean Cobain, 20, who sounded off with a series of tweets lambasting Kendall Jenner, calling her a “f***ing idiot” for being so “self-involved”.

Courtney Love’s daughter didn’t hold back with her harsh words, declaring: “I’d rather be a scumbag than a f***ing idiot. Praise high IQ’s, good taste & awareness about the state of the world.”

“Oh ya, not to mention, CANCER, famine, poverty, draught, disease, natural disasters, Death. F**k, Humans are so self involved,” Frances Bean Cobain added.

Not content to stop at that, Frances Bean Cobain wrote: “Oh shh. There are kids on earth abandoned&homeless who forcibly drink contaminated water because clean water isn’t accessible.”

The artist was obviously still stewing about the tweet, as she later wrote: “I’d like to thank my parents for providing me with a high IQ & I’d like to thank my grams for encouraging me not to be a self absorbed idiot.”

Kendall Jenner’s tweet received a slew of criticism from her followers, but she chose not to respond.

“Yeah I hate when I get lost in my closet too,” wrote someone.

Another wrote: “Did no one buy you your starbucks?”

“Just buy another range rover babes you’ll be fine x.”
