The Tallest Jenner-Kardashian offsprinmg, Kendall Jenner, aged 20 has come under a bad spotlight following an advert campaign she excitedly and perhaps ignorantly (or just for the love of money and portfolio) shot for Pepsi. After the Ad was released online all the black and brown skin colored men and women plus their friends and well wishers took to their social media handles, Tv shows, Radio stations, Barber's shops, Salon even coffee shops to tear her and Pepsi down over what they termed 'Trivializing Black Lives Matter'.
Here is a break down of the entire crime committed by Pepsi and Kendall..first of all Kendall is White, bear that in mind as you digest the whole story;
In the advert, Kendall was seen participating in a photo shoot and became distracted by a group of protesters. So she joined them and towards the end, she came face-to-face with a police officer, who was there to engage with the protesters and offered him a can of Pepsi, which he excitedly accepted and drank with a smile. That is to say that the Black Lives Matter movement could be easily resolved with an ordinary can of Pepsi, not even the 50cl as we have here in Naija ...Aru!
This pissed the black folks up as they accused the brand of appropriating the Black Lives Matter movement and using social justice to sell soda.
Their second crime was that, of all the pictures and angle to shoot Kendall while she handed the can to the officer, they chose the one very similar to when one of the protesters of Alton Sterling, Leisha Evan was being cuffed and arrested by the Police (These people pay attention to so much details..don't ever mess with us over there). So it's an attempted mockery if not a full blown mockery!
Few comments of angry Blacks;

Martin Luther Kings' daughter tweeted.
Meanwhile, PEPSI has apologized for their ad, they wrote;
"Pepsi was trying to project a global message of unity, peace and understanding. Clearly we missed the mark, and we apologize," the company said in a statement. "We did not intend to make light of any serious issue. We are removing the content and halting any further rollout." 'We also apologize for putting Kendall Jenner in this position'.
Some other people are also blaming Kendall for accepting the job at the first place, questioning her ability to make right decisions over money. They claim she was aware of the implcation of shooting such ad but went ahead for the moola! At the moment Kendall has not said a word over the drama!...she may be cruising on a Yacht now with Pepsi money! Lol
