Many different well-known people are there. Meaning it’s a lot of things that are done or said that could go viral due to all the social media posts being made. One of the most viral ones this year has dealings with Kanye West. He wears a “White Lives Matter” shirt to the Yeezy Fashion Show. After social media saw this and Kanye received backlash, he also said that “Black Lives Matter” is a scam. The first interviewee on this topic, Nana Opoku (11th grade), states, ” Kanye West wearing the shirt he did was just Kanye being himself. Although many other people and I disagree with it, I think he likes being controversial and attention being on him. I just ignore it cause it’s just one of the little wild things he often does.” She also continues to explain her answer by saying, “Kanye West is one of those people that just talks and is not a reliable person to listen to as far as him saying that Black Lives Matter is a scam.” The other interviewee on this topic, Julian Brown (12th), feels totally different about this situation. He states, Kanye West is just further, and nobody should be criticized for being different. I feel like he just has a bad way of displaying his messages. Kanye West is really a genius with the way he thinks. I think we just take it the wrong way. As far as Kanye saying Black Lives Matter is a scam, I feel like the slogan is not a scam, but the website itself is.” Many people can agree or disagree with these two statements made about the dealings with Kanye West.

Although the bold and looks that are worn may cause controversy at times, people still look forward to this event with high hopes to see something they may love that is unique and speaks out to others.
