Fans also called out Ronaldo and Messi for having the most number of followers and yet not speaking up.
What makes me mad is why just Selena, what about Kylie, Ronaldo with the most instagram followers ever and Messi. Why just Selena needs to speak up when the others can be quiet and do nothing. Make it make sense. https://t.co/iBYqdXFC5J
