LeBron James claimed he was too cheap to keep his blue checkmark, but his account showed otherwise on Thursday — the Lakers superstar’s page is now officially subscribed to Twitter Blue.
Thursday marked the end of legacy verified accounts on Elon Musk‘s app — with the majority of users losing their badges unless they ponied up $8 a month to keep it.
As we previously reported, the King made his stance on the move crystal clear last month … saying, “Welp guess my blue ✔️ will be gone soon cause if you know me I ain’t paying the 5. 🤷🏾♂️”
But someone on Bron’s team must not have gotten the memo … ’cause as superstars like Giannis Antetokounmpo, Russell Wilson and Aaron Judge said goodbye to the verify, his still has its badge.
The 4-time champ didn’t get any special treatment — his account’s check says he subscribed to Twitter Blue just like everyone else who wanted to keep it.
Tom Brady, Klay Thompson, Conor McGregor and J.J. Watt are on LeBron’s side — their accounts are all subscribed to Twitter Blue as well.
There are now two teams on Twitter — check and no check — so, pick a side and tweet away, folks.
