00:00New York City is throwing virtual hands at Chicago after the Empire State Building compared the Chicago Bean to a trash can.
00:08Trust us, two of the United States' most loved monuments having Twitter beef was definitely not on our
00:132024 bingo cards either. The saga started on the morning of July 3rd when the official Empire State Building ex-account, formerly Twitter, shared this tweet,
00:21writing,
00:22How do I fit this as my banner? With a photo of the Chicago Bean, also known as the Cloud Gate, attached.
00:28Just a few minutes later, the Empire State Building responded to its own tweet, writing,
00:32Never mind, got it. After this, ex-users were shocked to find a picture of a trash can as the account's banner,
00:38meaning the Empire State just threw some serious shade at the Chicago Bean.
00:43Ex-users shared mixed reactions to the insane scenario, with this user writing, Mom,
00:48come pick me up. The tall building and the metal bean are fighting again.
00:51Another user thought the NYC landmark must be a bit insecure,
00:55writing, The Empire State Building is just jealous because the bean is shinier and more photogenic. To which the Empire State Building
01:01actually responded, writing a simple, wrong. The Chicago Bean has yet to respond to the Empire State Building's diss,
01:08but both Chicagoans and NYC residents are eagerly waiting for its response.
