Summary: Drake’s official X (formerly Twitter) account got hacked, and scammers used it to push a shady Solana-based memecoin called “Anita.” The move cashed in on Drake’s upcoming tour and his crypto connections, but fans weren’t buying it for long.
Crypto Scam Hits Drake’s X
On Saturday night, hackers tookover Drake’s X account, with the help of his absurd 39M+ followers they promoted and hyped a fake token called “$ANITA. ” They claimed it was a collab with Stake, the crypto betting platform Drake’s been tight with since 2022. The name “Anita” wasn’t random—it’s tied to Drake’s cartoon alter ego and his “Anita Max Wynn” tour. Yeah, it was a clever play on “I need a max win,” but the whole thing was a total scam.

The posts included a contract address for the token and featured a cartoon mascot, making it seem legit. For a hot minute, people fell for it—trading volume hit $5 million. But it didn’t take long for the crypto-savvy crowd to call BS and bail. X even suspended the “official” Anita project account after the hack.
Celebs Stay Scam Magnets
