John Legend didn’t need a hacker to overtake his Twitter account to post some vehemently anti-Donald Trump content, but goddamn, Legend got one anyway.
This afternoon, after skewing the Bowling Green massacre debacle, the prodigiously talented muso and Arthur The Aardvark lookalike announced someone had gained access to his profile.
Our president is too preoccupied with the crises in Bowling Green and Sweden. He can’t speak out against hate crimes by white supremacists. https://t.co/QUC7MJ4QUN

Quick fact check on the Liar-In-Chief: These particular news outlets are doing extremely well right now. https://t.co/uZW2TFyCw5

Someone just hacked my account.

The NSFW messages have since been deleted – obviously – but the fine folk over at The Hollywood Reporter had the presence of mind to screenshot ’em while they were still out in the wild.
I’m back. My hacker was vulgar and kinda hilarious. I’ll try to be funnier from now on so he won’t feel the need to ghost write for me.

I would never threaten violence to the President. No matter how much I wish he would go away.

I wouldn’t call him a Cheeto because I enjoy Cheetos.

I did call him Liar-In-Chief. Then my hacker took over to do the Angrier John version of it all.

My hacker’s assessment of my endowment was confusing. Big in the tweet about Hillary. Small in the bio. Make up your mind, hacker.

Oh, that “bio” thing? Legend’s partner and actual Twitter royalty Chrissy Teigen has you covered on that one.

It’s not the first high-profile Twitter hack in recent months, and look, it probs won’t be the last. However, it’s likely the only time you’ll ever see Hillary Rodham Clinton inserted into Bad And Boujee.
