After social media users noticed that American singer Usher’s Twitter account had been wiped clean, he has come forward to claim that his account was “hacked.” On September 22, 2024, Usher took to X (formerly Twitter) to address the situation, stating, “Account got hacked and damn, y’all ran with it! See you tonight at Intuit Dome.” However, many social media users expressed skepticism regarding his explanation.
Comments flooded in from users doubting Usher’s claim, with one user suggesting, “Nobody’s buying that dude. You better find yourself a nice non-extradition island to go to and stay there for a while.” Another user pointed out the oddity of a hacker deleting posts rather than posting something controversial, especially in light of recent events surrounding his connection to Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs.
Usher’s account purge occurred against a backdrop of controversy involving Diddy, who was arrested on September 17, 2024, facing serious charges including racketeering and sex trafficking. This scandal has led to speculation about Usher’s involvement, particularly after an old interview resurfaced where Usher recounted stories of living with Diddy at age 13.
As the drama unfolds, Usher’s attempts to clarify the situation have not alleviated the public’s curiosity and skepticism surrounding the circumstances of his account’s disappearance.
