Many woke up to memes on microblogging platform X (formerly Twitter) about Kylian Mbappe endorsing Cristiano Ronaldo over Lionel Messi and jabs at Manchester United. This dishevel is all because Mbappe’s X account was hacked.
The hack also sent crypto investors on a buying spree the target being a so-called $MBAPPE. This meme coin saw a sudden surge. It also fell hard. As such, a crypto investor reportedly lost over $1 million in just an hour. The hacker took hold of the star footballer’s social media account and used it to promote the dubious meme coin $MBAPPE. The cryptocurrency gained popularity, witnessed a surge in investors, and in time crashed.
This happened within minutes of the price surge. The hack also sent Mbappe’s followers and fans into a social media meme fest.

So far, he has played two games for Real Madrid and failed to score a goal. The Spanish media have put the spotlight on Mbappe in Real Madrid highlighting his poor performances and goalless games. Moreover, his debut has been described as ‘poor and sloppy’, way below expectations.
But Real Madrid boss Florentino Perez is confident that Mbappe will prove his worth. He believes that the 25-year-old Frenchman will get it right the next time.
