If you heard that Odd Future’s frontman passed away don’t believe it. No, Tyler The Creator did not pass away. The false new report was tweeted from ABC’s Twitter account. I guess a prankster thought it was funny to hack ABC’s Twitter account and tweet that Tyler died in a tour bus crash.
The hacked account also sent out some pro-Trump tweets, among other things, but they’ve since regained control of the account and deleted all of the damage. But once something hits the internet…..it’s out there forever.
.@ABC News, @GMA & @GMAPopNews Twitter accounts were hacked early this morning. We resolved the issue quickly & errant tweets were deleted.
