With all the money and connections rappers have at their disposal, they still can’t manage to keep a lock on their social media accounts. So they say.
Getting hacked is either extremely easy, or it’s just an easy excuse. Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, all those social media forums are apparently easy picking for Internet pirates.
Ironically enough, rappers never get hacked for anything super serious. The stories always tend to involve marginally controversial comments, putting someone’s sexuality on blast, manufactured beef, or maybe freaky flicks. Perhaps the same pack of hackers are going around hitting everybody up.
Hit the gallery for 11 examples of rappers who got hacked.
