Burna Boy, Davido, and Wizkid Regain Verified Status
The world of Twitter is buzzing with news of the return of the verification badge to high profile accounts with over one million followers, and the Nigerian music industry is not left out of the conversation. The likes of Burna Boy, Davido and Wizkid were stripped of their blue tick verification badges last week after the implementation of Elon Musk’s new verification feature called Verification Blue. The new feature required a monthly payment of N3,684 ($8) every month to keep the verification badge, and it led to the removal of the badges of over 400,000 notable people around the world.
However, it appears that the stars have been re-verified, and their blue ticks are back. This news comes hours after they were stripped of their verification badges, causing an uproar among their fans and the entertainment industry as a whole. Fans of the stars were quick to notice the return of the badges on their Twitter accounts, and they took to social media to express their joy and excitement.
According to reports, it looks like most of these celebrities did not have to pay to get their badges back. Elon Musk is allegedly restoring verification badges to high-profile accounts, including those of Burna Boy, Davido and Wizkid, among others. This news has come as a relief to fans of the stars, who have been anxiously waiting for the return of the blue ticks to their Twitter accounts.
The CEO of Twitter, Elon Musk, previously announced that the final date to remove the free blue badge was April 20, 2023. However, it is unclear if this move to restore the verification badges to high-profile accounts is a permanent one or if it is a temporary measure. For now, fans of the stars are basking in the joy of the return of the blue tick, and they hope that it remains that way.
It is noteworthy that the verification badge is a badge of honour on Twitter and other social media platforms, as it signifies that the account is authentic and belongs to the person or organization it claims to belong to. The return of the blue tick to the accounts of Burna Boy, Davido and Wizkid, and other high-profile individuals around the world is, therefore, a welcome development that has put a smile on the faces of their fans.
The return of the blue tick badges to high-profile accounts has caused quite a stir on social media, with fans of the affected celebrities expressing their delight and gratitude to Elon Musk for allegedly restoring the badges. Many fans took to Twitter to celebrate the return of the blue tick to the accounts of their favorite celebrities.
Some fans also expressed disappointment and frustration with Twitter for removing the blue tick badges in the first place and for implementing a paid verification system. Many felt that the blue tick was an important symbol of legitimacy and credibility on the platform and that it was unfair to make users pay for it.
The restoration of the blue tick badges to high-profile accounts also raises questions about the role and influence of social media platforms in shaping public opinion and discourse. As social media continues to play an increasingly important role in our lives and in the public sphere, it is important to consider the impact of these platforms on the way we communicate and engage with each other.
Overall, the return of the blue tick badges to high-profile accounts on Twitter is a welcome development for many fans and users of the platform. Whether or not Twitter will continue to offer free verification badges to high-profile accounts remains to be seen, but for now, it seems that the blue tick is back and here to stay.
