So here’s the background story…
About four hours ago, Kim Kardashian and Amber Rose, who the media has painted as rivals, posted the same photo of themselves at the same time on Instagram and it’s got everyone confused.
Those who have taken sides in the Kardashian versus Amber Rose battle are itching to read a good explanation on why the supposed enemies put up a picture together.
The obvious truth is that these guys pulled a stunt that no one thought possible, and it worked.
While bloggers, news feeds, fans, paparazzi are giving all the possible reasons why Kanye’s much discriminated ex-stripper ex-girlfriend and Kanye’s paparazzi-loving trendsetting wife have become friends, we simply want to share what this stunt teaches everyone.
- 1. Social media is 24-hour Reality TV show
If for once, you’ve ever thought that everyone is being real online, you need to rethink the thought. See, anyone can be anything and can do anything on social.
Look at social media this way: you’re the actor, social media is the stage and the audience includes those that care about you or have a common interest with you. You act a certain way, post certain things, share certain things to give off a certain impression.
You think Amber Rose and Kim Kardashian posted the same picture for laughs? Think again. There’s the need to stay relevant, hence the controversy and drama that surround these guys.
Smart right?
- 2. Taking sides could make you look stupid
If you’ve ever been in a heated argument about these two and you’ve outrightly condemned either of them, you must feel really silly and dumbfounded right now. LOL.
This reminds us of what Africans say about husband and wife fights. It is advised that you avoid getting involved because you’ll end up being the joke at the end of the day.
3. Understand your audience
Not all stunts get this much buzz. It takes proper understanding of your target audience to pull a stunt that gains talkability and social engagement.
Amber Rose is often viewed as the stereotypical bitter ex-girlfriend while Kim Kardashian is the woman that has it all. This is why girls and women with boyfriends and husbands are the ones that this stunt will shock the most.
