Twitter owner Elon Musk has finally removed almost all 'legacy verified' accounts from the social media platform, but despite LeBron James ' previous comments the blue tick has remained in fact for the four-time NBA champion
The famous 'blue tick' is now only displayed on accounts that have subscribed to Musk's Twitter Blue service, meaning that thousands of accounts no longer have their verification status. Famous athletes such as Patrick Mahomes, Cristiano Ronaldo and Aaron Rodgers are no longer verified, causing mayhem on the platform.
When Musk warned users that they'd lose their blue tick if they remained unsubscribed, James made a vow to his fans that he wouldn't pay for the service. But now that the changes have been made James remains verified, suggesting that he may have dipped into his pockets after all.
