A tweet from AME Choppa went viral after the user turned a negative into a positive on Wednesday. Turning the spotlight on Black Twitter, the person asked Black folks to post their favorite songs by white people that would make them go viral.
“Black People: Let’s flip the table. If you were at a party and they caught you on camera singing a White people song, which artist/song would make you go viral?”
“For me, it’s Linkin Park – ‘Numb.’”

And Black Twitter would be remiss if it didn’t mention Natalie Imbruglia’s “Torn.”
