From disses to ice-cream dates: Fans get things off their chest with new trend
#TellACelebritySomething
As if your tags and DMs weren't enough to grab the attention of your favs, a new trend has Twitter users reaching out to celebs to get some things off their chest.
#TellACelebritySomething hit the trends list like a wrecking ball this week, with people pouring their hearts out to their celebs.
It was like a flea market of emotions, with those crying over their celeb crushes right next those seriously angry about being snubbed.
Here's a little bit of what went down.
Reason and Cassper were both called out for ignoring tweets or picture requests, while NaakMusiq got an ear full from a heartbroken follower he called stupid.
Dear @CassperNyovest

Others weren't so sure about the trend and said it was like talking to a brick wall.
