Rihanna

When Rihanna speaks?or, more precisely, ?grams?the world listens. In March 2018, she posted an Instagram story denouncing an ad that appeared on Snapchat that used her image to make light of domestic violence, of which she is a survivor. Soon after, Snap Inc. lost $800 million in value. In May, she posted photos of herself in swimwear with visible stubble on her legs, inspiring a wave of online declarations that shaving, for this summer at least, is no longer required. But part of what makes the 30-year-old singer and entrepreneur so successful on the Internet is her own ability to listen. She listened and heard that there was a large segment of the population that felt underserved by the beauty and fashion industries, and she responded with her wildly successful makeup line, Fenty Beauty, and lingerie line, Savage x Fenty. Both were instant hits, thanks in part to Rihanna?s savvy use of social media to market them. The money?and the followers?are pouring in, with no signs of slowing. ?Eliza Berman

Kanye West

West once called his own tweets a form of ?contemporary art.? And to some, his musings on Twitter?erratic, unfiltered, controversial?are just that. To others, however, they?re more problematic, if not downright offensive. Since returning to the platform in April after a nearly year-long hiatus, many fans have been alternately baffled, angry and saddened to see the same artist who, in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, accused President Bush of not caring about black people, call President Trump his ?brother,? post an image of a Make America Great Again Hat, and defend his comments about slavery being a ?choice.? But despite calls for West to be ?cancelled,? his recently released album, Ye, debuted atop the Billboard 200. No matter what, his online persona?with 28 million followers?keeps him squarely in the public eye.?Eliza Berman

Shaun King

King first rose to prominence alongside the Black Lives Matter movement after using Twitter to share details about the death of Michael Brown, the 18-year-old who was fatally shot by a police officer in Ferguson, Mo., in 2014. At the time, King, a former pastor turned journalist and activist, had 100,000 followers; now he counts more than a million. But his mission remains the same: to raise awareness about the plight of marginalized communities?even as critics liken his methods to mob justice. ?How people feel about me doesn?t affect the work that I do,? King says. ?I care about the people and causes I?m fighting for.? In the past year, King amplified stories about racism at Starbucks and the Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville, Va., as well as one about a police officer?s sexually assaulting a Texas woman during a traffic stop that proved to be false. More recently, he asked his followers to identify a white man recorded on video screaming and threatening to call ICE on Spanish-speaking workers at a New York restaurant. Within hours, the case made national headlines and the man?s name was trending on Twitter. ?Hey Aaron Schlossberg, You are now famous,? King tweeted. ?You will be known for your overt bigotry and harassment for a very long time.? ?Cady Lang
