Hackers took over comedian Tanmay Bhat’s Twitter (now X) account last night to push meme coins. In the now-deleted posts, the account suddenly expressed enthusiasm for memes and Solana—a blockchain platform known for its SOL tokens. After learning that his social media account had been compromised, the comedian took to Instagram to warn his followers against clicking on any links.
“I love memes and Solana so I figured it was time for me to drop my own coin. Dev supply will be locked momentarily, I will be using YouTube revenue from streams and videos to support the coin and implementing it into my content,” the now-deleted post from Bhat’s X account read.
At 8:22 PM, hackers took over his X account, posting about a meme coin. Soon after, Tanmay Bhat took to Instagram to set the record straight. “My Twitter has been hacked. Please don’t click on any links. Working to fix it,” he wrote on his Instagram Story.
The posts promoting the fake coins have now been deleted from the comedian’s account which has a massive following of 6.6 million. The last post on his X account was made on January 26. It reads, “God tier coverage on Disney+ Hotstar of the Coldplay concert.”
His account also has a pinned social media post featuring a picture of a dog using a laptop, accompanied by text suggesting that the comedian has no idea what he is doing. He captioned the picture: “Please imagine this photo whenever you don’t like something I tweet, it might make you less angry.”
About Meme Coin
A meme coin is a type of cryptocurrency that originates from a meme on the Internet, a joke, or a pop culture reference. Unlike traditional cryptocurrencies, they often start as humorous projects with little intrinsic value. However, some, like Dogecoin (DOGE) and Shiba Inu (SHIB), have gained massive popularity due to celebrity endorsements and social media trends.
