Hackers took over John Legend’s Twitter account unleashing an offensive rant against Hillary Clinton and President Donald Trump yesterday (February 24). The tweets have since been deleted, but Legend is speaking out to clear his name.
The Academy Award winning crooner confirmed that his account was indeed hacked, and although he’s not a huge fan of the president, he’d never wish any harm on him.
Someone just hacked my account.

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 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.

Aside from spewing “vulgar” rhetoric, the “ghost writers” changed Legend’s Twitter bio, and Legend’s wife, Chrissy Teigen, couldn’t help but laugh it off.
