Ok I back with last part of this two part saga. Now in part one, I talked about the dangers of mixing social media with personal information. Now I not going into detail on the post so if you haven't read it yet, then go check it out. If not then just tough. So in section b, I will talk about the most said phrase in these cyber streets after someone, mainly a famous person, says after they go on a massive social media vent session, well expect kanye. So can you guess thats world phrase? If you said my account got hacked, then you are correct.
Now after his semi world famous tweet rampage, Gucci did the typical thing and say that his account was hacked. Well he didn't actually say that, his brother said it and gucci retweeted it but that's besides the point. Gucci did what other famous be have done; used the hacked twitter account excuse, which no one believes anymore, to save face. Some people do this, and others just delete what they posted and pray the mo one saw that they posted and/or took a screenshot of their madness. Now instead of saying that the person is fake, the thing that has me thinking is why did that person post that tweet, picture, or status in the first place. After countless minutes of thing, I have come up with two possible reason for this epidemic.
The possible reason is they don't really mean for they posted in the first place. Now at one point or another we have all gotten hot head and said or done something in the heat of the moment. When that happened back in the day, we could get away with it if no one saw what we did or we could apologize what the actions that we have done. That is not the case anymore these days. With everybody recording their lives on the internet via social media, a hot headed moment can not be simply taken away. Once something is on the net, it is there forever, and then with the procession of screenshots, nothing really belongs to anybody anymore. Now something that a person probably didn't even mean is out there for the whole world to see.
The second reason I see this happening is for promotion for a movie, album, makeup, or anything that require people to buy it. Now lately I been seeing this trend happen quite often lately. A prime example of this would be what happened between Rhianna and Teyana Taylor a few weeks ago. Now I don't know exactly how this started but for a good hour, these two females were going at it on twitter. Now Teyana was really passionate about the issue. She was going all the way in. Now Rhianna on the other hand, not so much. At first, she was going in then she flipped the script and started to promote her new mac make up line. No only did she promote her make up line, she basically took advantage of Teyana. I guess what they say is true; there is no such thing as bad press.
As the need to vent via internet grows, this hot headed social media epidemic will continue to grow and get out of hand. If folks are going to keep during this, then at least own up to it. Don't back out and disown what you put out into the world. Just own up to it and move on because at the end of the day, no one really cares until you making a big deal about it. As much as i have talked about him, I have to give up to Gucci. After it was all said and down, he eventually owned up to his twitter rampage and apologized to everyone. So take a page from him in this case and keep it 100 at all times.
