In brief
- Official Instagram accounts for Michael Jackson, Adele, and Future were apparently hijacked to promote a meme coin.
- The token, named after a clothing brand and record label attached to Future, reached a near $900K market cap before plummeting.
- The scammer made off with around $49,000 after dumping the majority of the tokens.
The Instagram accounts of superstar musicians Adele, Future, Tyla, and the late Michael Jackson were hacked to promote an unaffiliated Solana meme coin late Thursday.
The hacker used the celebrities’ pages to share now deleted posts of what appears to be an AI rendering of Future, holding an oversized coin inscribed “FREEBANDZ”—the name of a record label and clothing line connected to the rapper, as well as the Solana meme coin promoted in the posts.
The rapper’s account is no longer active on Instagram, and the cryptocurrency does not appear to actually be linked to Future or his apparel brand.
