Following Twitter Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Elon Musk’s decision to do away with blue checkmarks verified accounts. Most celebrities both locally and internationally vouched not to pay the $8.00 to retain their verified Twitter accounts.

Media personality, actress, and now reality TV star Thando Thabethe is one of the few Mzansi personalities who still has a verified Twitter account. Even after claiming that she will not be paying to have a verified account, Thabethe is claiming that Elon Musk is actually paying for her account.

Even though Elon Musk claimed to be paying for only three Twitter blue checkmarks accounts and that is of Lebron James, Stephen King, and William Shatner. Other Twitter users who still have their blue checkmarks verification are paying the $8.00 from their own pockets.

When iconic blue checkmarks verification began to disappear two weeks ago when the company fully moved over to its new subscription service called Twitter Blue. Even celebrities with millions of followers immediately lost their blue checkmarks.

Last week Thursday, author Stephen King noticed his check mark was still on his account, despite promises from Twitter that all checkmarks would be removed if users aren’t paying for the subscription.

“My Twitter account says I’ve subscribed to Twitter Blue. I haven’t. My Twitter account says I’ve given a phone number. I haven’t,” King tweeted.

Tweeps started noticing that actually Thando Thabethe still has her blue checkmarks verification, even after she publicly claimed that she won’t be paying for the subscription.

“It’s the blue badge subscription for me. You said you won’t pay last time” wrote Cortana

Thabethe quickly responded by saying that she is not paying for her Twitter blue checkmark verification.

“I didnā€™t.” wrote Thando Thabethe

“Who paid for you sis.” wrote Cortana

Thando Thabethe then proceeded to elude that it is actually Elon Musk who is paying for her blue checkmark Twitter subscription.

“Elon Musk,” wrote Thando Thabethe

But according to Pop Base, celebrities will now regain their blue checkmarks without paying the $8.00 subscription.
