Tyreek Hill is just as confused as the rest of us when it comes to Twitter Blue. On Thursday, Twitter rolled out its newest verification system. However, the most significant talking point was many losing their check mark. In order to keep your verification on the site, users must pay a monthly fee. Many athletes and celebrities have long expressed their displeasure with Twitter's decision to roll out the new verification system. One of the biggest names that were against the idea of Twitter Blue was LeBron James. However, on Thursday morning, it seemed that the Lakers star had decided to pay for the service. But that isn't the case.
Twitter owner Elon Musk stated on Twitter that he is footing the bill for James' Twitter Blue verification. Along with paying for other celebrities and athletes. Musk's announcement confused many in the Twitter world. Including athletes like Hill. Hill tweeted Friday his question of wondering why Musk could pay for James' verification but not Patrick Mahomes. Not shortly after that tweet, Hill sent out another tweet saying that his tweet on Mahomes was probably going to be interpreted incorrectly. Check out Hill's tweets below.
Tyreek Hill Having Fun With Twitter
Obviously, James and Mahomes are two of the biggest sports stars in North America. However, one has to wonder how Musk decided on which accounts to pay for. Recently, Mahomes and Hill were having a little fun with the Twitter Blue subscription plan. The former teammates shared a quick back-and-forth on Twitter, giving reasons as to why they couldn't pay for the subscription. It appears that Mahomes nor Hill are forking up the monthly 8 dollars to remain verified.
Twitter Blue seems to still be in its infant stages. However, it has already made a difference in the way users approach their time on the site. Without verification, there is fear that more fake accounts will be created, causing mass confusion among those on the site. Twitter has made many big changes since Musk purchased the company. However, Twitter Blue looks to be the biggest change yet. Tyreek Hill is just one of many athletes that are refusing to keep their verification. This has many wondering if Twitter Blue will actually be successful. For the latest sports news, keep it right here with HNHH.
