button. And it's all thanks to Jeffree Star who posted "dear Twitter, we need an
edit button on our tweets. - sincerely, everyone." To which Twitter replied "Dear
everyone, noted." People were shook with Twitter's response like @minksmish who
said "OMG did Jeffree just change Twitter forever?" or @camzCabello_s who said "oh my
god it's happening the power of Jeffree." And @seasonal_flu who said "wow, if this
happens Jeffree is super powerful. We've all been
bitching about this for years!" It's true, Twitter users have been lamenting about
the inability to edit their tweets for a long time. The verge even wrote an essay
in 2017 titled "the case for editing tweets" which argued that humans are
fallible creatures and if God can forgive,
why can't Twitter? And let's face it, most of us have probably done a type over a
tweet then has it deleted and then do the repost of shame where all of your
followers see the same tweet twice. I'm sorry followers. So, why won't Twitter
just have the feature? Well, edit opposers argue that users
might manipulate highly shared tweets by editing the original information to say
something completely different. Opposers also argue that any changes to
the platform that might help mitigate that problem will probably make the
platform a little too difficult. And people like their twitter simple, okay?
But other platforms like Facebook and Instagram have figured out how to do it
and it didn't seem to have a cataclysmic effect. So many users have advocated for an
edit button for years. Even Kim Kardashian the og of twitter has been
planting seeds for a while. When Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey showed up at Kanye's
birthday party this summer, Kim reported "I had a very good convo
with Jack this weekend at Kanye's birthday and I think he really heard me
out on the edit button." Dorsey replied "now I see why I was
invited." All joking aside, that bug in Jack's ear might be why Twitter is
responding to Jeffree Star. And it's the first sign that Twitter is actually
working on the problem. Eagle-eyed users even spotted hints of an edit button
test shortly after Kim and Jack's chat. Though
it was clarified that this option was only available on the third party
platform tweet deck and did not make its way onto the main platform. And Twitter
responded to this user with a clever clarification. When investigating further
users discovered the plugin does in fact fully delete the original tweet and post
a new one. Bummer. Such a bummer. But users are reignited with the promise of
Jeffree's new tweet. Jeffree is an incredibly influential internet celeb
made famous by his makeup skills. Which has attracted over 11 million
subscribers and 1 billion views. So now that influencers are starting to be more
vocal, Twitter might finally make the change. But keep your eyes open people
because the Twitterverse is shaken and a change is-a coming. But don't go
anywhere, we've got another crazy Jeffree star story.
Jeffree Star is throwing some serious shade at Huda Kattan. Welcome back to
what's trending, I'm Martine Beerman. Make sure to subscribe for more stories that
expose the ugly side of beauty. Infamous for fierce makeup and even fiercer drama,
Jeffree Star is at it again and this time he's calling out another hot member
in the beauty world. Huda Kattan is a blogger turned reality star turn makeup
guru who you may have seen on her Facebook Watch show Huda Boss. The 34 year old
makeup artist and entrepreneur has based her beauty company in Dubai and is worth
an estimated 550 million dollars. Holy crap. What the heck is she doing with
five hundred and fifty million dollars? If you need some help deciding how to
that money, call me. Huda was born in Oklahoma City to Iraqi immigrants and is
now the majority stakeholder of Huda beauty which is valued at 1 billion
dollars. Okay, so then why is Jeffree Star picking a fight with this beauty
blogger? Jeffree Star has its own cosmetic line with a cult-like following
and over 11 million subscribers on YouTube.
So when makeup artist Cole Carrington tweeted this "I got PR emails today from
Tatcha, Huda Beauty, Lancome and NYX and it's only 3 p.m." So then Jeffree took
the opportunity to throw some major shade at Huda. And I'm not talking about the
shade in the Beauty variety. He said "tell Huda Beauty to f*** off and use products
from someone with a soul. shoooow. Tell me how you really feel. Cole then fanned the
flames because it's on now with his own comeback saying this "Oh trust me, that
package was going straight to a giveaway hashtag sorry not sorry."
So what is it with all this feuding and ugliness around beauty? Last July Jeffree
accused Huda of stealing the packaging and marketing concepts for easy bake
setting powder from a small independent makeup brand called Beauty bakery. He
tweeted "well, it's safe to say Huda beauty is a f***ing embarrassment to the
makeup community. Here's our conversation where she won't admit or speak about
stealing from Beauty bakery. I will never support her again." He then attached
screenshots of the conversation he had with Huda where he accused her of
stealing and he also included her very piecey responses. Huda said "I don't
communicate like this. I genuinely just wanted to clarify things between us, but
it seems you have other needs and/or intentions.
Nonetheless, wishing you the best in your future." And as you'd expect from him,
Jeffree was not shy in his response. He said "you're a horrible person.
You also have issues with people of color and the lgbtq+ community so you
have a lot more problems to worry about." Huda hasn't responded to any of
jeffree's accusations and she's just merrily continued on with her business.
Billion-dollar business owner that she is. Holy crap, I go back to five hundred
and fifty million dollars and a billion dollar company. Huda was even recently
featured in the fashion and beauty industries revered trade magazine
Women's Wear Daily in a flattering article and video highlighting her
strengths and achievements. Starting out the business we really didn't know what
was gonna happen, I didn't start as a blogger hoping to
achieve this. I think ultimately it was just a passion that I was really
pursuing like wholeheartedly. You know and things just kept happening and
snowballing before you know it you have a business and it's a it is a great
journey. I feel very grateful to be on." So what do you guys think about these two
feuding moguls? Are you team Jeffree or you team Huda? Let us know in the
comments and don't forget to check back because we are gonna be covering more of
the story as it develops. And for more trends head to what's trending com
