Kylian Mbappe's Twitter account was hacked, leading to controversial posts about Manchester United and a derogatory remark about Lionel Messi. The incident also promoted a new 'MBAPPE' token, which saw a brief surge in value before crashing. The football community reacted strongly to the hacked tweets.
Kylian Mbappe’s Twitter account was hacked on Wednesday night, causing a stir in the football community. The Real Madrid star's social media was flooded with provocative posts, including claims about a new 'MBAPPE' token that purportedly hit 90,000 sales, alongside inflammatory remarks about Manchester United and the ongoing rivalry between Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi.
The hackers utilized Mbappe's account to tweet, “Manchester is Red,” and praised the popular United social media account @UTDTrey, claiming it had “the best account on ft.” Among the most shocking statements was a post asserting Ronaldo as the “greatest football player of all time” and deriding Messi, calling him a “midget” and stating he was “NOT my goat.”
The surge in interest around the 'MBAPPE' token momentarily inflated its market value to tens of millions, but it quickly plummeted back to zero. Reports emerged of one user purchasing 2 SOL (approximately £216) and later selling it for a staggering profit of about 1,398 SOL (around $151,500).
While the majority of the hacked tweets were swiftly deleted, the incident drew sharp criticism from fans, with one user questioning the effectiveness of Mbappe's PR team. The scandal adds a new layer to the intense narratives surrounding the football star during this transfer season.
