The Social List
Instagram:
Kanye West, you know the husband of Kim Kardashian, is a bit controversial at times. He feuds with celebs, tweets about how bad other companies are, and of course (since he is Kanye, and Kanye will do what Kanye always does) boasts about he’s the greatest artist of all time. So if you like seeing an entire thread of tweets at once on your timeline. Than @kaneywest is the perfect account.
Twitter:
While on the topic of the Kardashian’s, Kylie Jenner is the Queen of social media @kyliejenner. Especially instagram. She has posts between her daily life, herself, and updates/new additions to her cosmetics line! Sure, a couple pics might be a bit racy, but atleast they do surprise you.
