Twitter Blue Check has been trending for a while now, and you know why. Elon Musk, the new owner of Twitter, has taken the decision to remove the Legacy verification tick on many accounts. 

The purge started yesterday, and Nollywood Times broke the news of how Beyonce and Pope Francis were to lose their checks.

However, Nigerian celebrities, too, are having their share of the purge. Some notable celebrities were yesterday stripped of their verification badges, among whom include Burna Boy, Davido, Wizkid, and Peter Okoye.

Elon Musk, in March, in a tweet accompanied by links to subscribe to the premium program, hinted at plans to commercialize verification tick.

He said, ”We will begin winding down our legacy verified program and removing legacy verified checkmarks on the 1st of April. To keep your blue checkmark, individuals can sign up for Twitter Blue.”

Announcing the final date for the free Blue badge removal on his verified Twitter handle, Elon Musk wrote: “Final date for removing legacy Blue checks is 4/20.”

The removal of the Legacy Blue Tick of the Nigerian superstars may be connected to the non-payment of their verification subscription fee announced by Musk.

Reacting to his Blue Tick removal, in a tweet on Friday, Peter Okoye said, ”Elon Musk is a business man period.”
