The one and only meaning of being a "hater" is someone being jealous of the next person or their accomplishments.This slang word has been misused throughout the internet taking on a literal definition from the word hate. The proper use of the word has sadly diminished and needs to take its rightful place back. To the older audience this word has replaced the slang word "jell" or "jeal". The first known use of the word was in the 1999 single "Still D.R.E." by rapper Dr. Dre ft. Snoop Dogg. The lyrics “haters gon' hate” is believed to be the origin start of the word “haters". Comedian Katt Williams uses this slang word in its true meaning as a description of someone being angry about something that someone else has or has accomplished which its ultimate feeling stems from jealousy.
