Move over, Kylie Jenner. You have been dethroned of the most-liked picture on Instagram. Jenner is a young entrepreneur of a makeup line Kyle Cosmetics. On Jan. 4, 2019, an Instagram account was created for a picture of an egg trying to get more than 18 million likes to beat the world record. Jenner’s most-liked picture is her announcement of her baby girl Stormi Webster.
The egg currently has 50,755,677 million Instagram likes with 2,962,315 million comments.
Many people did not know about the famous egg Instagram page or how its dethroned Jenner’s world record.
Tyler Norris, senior exercise science major, was one of the few who did not know about the famous egg picture.
“I did not know about the egg picture posted on Instagram. I was surprised to see a picture of an egg claim the world record for most likes over Kylie Jenner’s picture,” Norris said.
Alexandra Pizzi, sophomore education major, was another who did not know about the egg Instagram picture.
“I honestly did not know about the egg and how it broke the record of the most Instagram likes,” Pizzi said. “I wonder why and how the creator of the Instagram page thought of this.”
Once Jenner found out about the egg taking her title, she took to Instagram to post a video of her smashing an egg with a caption of “Take that little egg.”
With the egg claiming the world record and Jenner fighting back, there came a mixed emotions about the battle of the two internet stars.
Angela Selverian, sophomore psychology major, was not a fan of the feud of Jenner and the egg.
“I think people are just really bored and will do anything at this point for attention,” Selverian said. “Even if it’s an egg that’s getting attention instead of focusing on what’s more important in the country.”
Users of Instagram and Twitter posted photos of Jenner’s face on the egg and creating a famous meme that spread all over social media.
The Ellen DeGeneres Show created a meme of Jenner’s face on the egg. Curology, an acne solution brand, made a commercial using the egg to promote their acne solving products.
Also, there are more Instagram pages being created, but instead of an egg, a carrot is being used.
It is only a matter of time before Jenner takes back her title or another Instagram page will dethrone the world’s famous egg.
