Alexa Chung’s Twitter account appears to have been hacked by a collective of NFT scammers.
The TV presenter, writer and model seemed to tweet from her official account to her 1.3million followers this afternoon (February 1) with a giveaway on behalf of an NFT community called Azuki.
“GIVING AWAY THIS AZUKI NFT ($23,239) To enter – Follow me with [notifications on] – RT & like this – Tag 3 friends,” the post reads.
At the time of writing, two additional tweets have been posted from Chung’s account, one reading “Who has my notifications on?” and “Like if active, this is a test”, but it remains unclear whether Chung has regained control of her account.
The account later tweeted: “No bs, following everyone who likes and replies.”

Chung’s bio was also changed today, now reading: “simply a degen, marketing expert • DM For Promotions.”
Representatives for Chung confirmed she had been hacked after being contacted by Rolling Stone UK – although there has been no word from Chung herself, nor an admission from Azuki.
