The #unfollowdiddy Twitter Phenomenon

P. Diddy wanted over 1 million followers and asked people to follow him. And I am not clear why these celebs really care how many followers they have and who because it seems to me that if you're a millionaire then you should have better things to worry about and to tweet about-but guess not. Anyways, I am not sure exactly how the movement got started but a whole bunch of people started to tweet #unfollowdiddy and then give the reason why. I guess people just got sick of celebs begging for followers and then the celebs never follow people back or even make an attempt to interact with their followers and fans. He wants 1,000,000 but only follows like 126. Take that reason and pile it on top of the fact that Diddy is one of those celebs that makes it so easy for you to want to hate him anyways with his egotistical and narcissistic attitude, and you could have seen this coming from a mile away. The #unfollowdiddy tweets are too damn hilarious! But many of them are also very true too! It is number one on the trending topics list. He showed bitchassness that reigns supreme and got pissed and protected his updates lol! He even started a #luvfollowingdiddy movement that has hardly anyone. All this makes me thankful that I never ever followed him to begin with. =)

The reasons to unfollow Diddy ranged from everything from #unfollowdiddy b/c he needs to stop making the band and reunite the other artists and pay them, to #unfollowdiddy b/c no one wants to get signed to a label and then have the Executive CEO singing all over you and dancing in your video. LOL! One of my favorites was #unfollowdiddy b/c he thinks Proactive helps preserve his sexy. Damn fool! I loved that one! Another one said #unfollowdiddy b/c Grey Goose is so much better than his Vodka. #Unfollowdiddy because he sent the Da Band back to Da Hood. I totally agree with that last one.

I really don't care for him personally because I feel like he has forgotten where he came from. From his recent cattle call for only White, Hispanic, and VERY light-skinned African-American women for a promotional for his vodka (he always puts down dark skinned African-Americans. It's very clear that he has some serious self hatred issues), to his constant Making The Bands that never go anywhere because he doesn't promote them or give a damn about the people in them. Those are struggling people who have a real love of music and a dream to perform it just like he did, and then he takes advantage of that by forcing them to do crazy ass shit to try to earn his respect or whatever (like walking to Brooklyn to go get him some cheesecake). Most of the shit he makes them do has nothing to do with preparing them for the music industry. It's just to show how much power he has over them. He then winds up disbanding most of the bands he forms anyways so I don't know why he wastes theirs or his time. He sends them back to the hood, the projects, or wherever else they came from with nothing; to start from the bottom all over again. He's the epitome of disrespectful and everything Black power SHOULDN'T be.
