Issa Rae is setting the record straight about a viral tweet promoting a cryptocurrency token from her official X account.
Issa Rae, the multi-talented actress, writer, and producer, has once again found herself in the spotlight. But this time, it wasn’t for her latest creative project.
Over the weekend, a tweet promoting cryptocurrency from her verified X (formerly Twitter) account went viral, leaving fans confused and concerned. Issa Rae quickly took to Instagram to clear the air, confirming that her account had been hacked and that she does not endorse cryptocurrency promotions.
The now-deleted post claimed that Rae was launching a cryptocurrency called $BARBIE on Solana, describing it as “more than just a token—it’s a symbol of female empowerment, glamorous living, and limitless possibilities.” However, the suspicious nature of the post immediately sparked confusion among her followers, leading many to question its legitimacy.
“I’m proud to launch $BARBIE on @Solana!

In response, Issa Rae made it clear that she does not endorse cryptocurrency promotions, especially scams targeting her loyal fan base.
In her Instagram post, she clarified that the tweet was not from her, stating, “I don’t do crypto promotions, y’all. My account was hacked.” The tweet, which has since been deleted, reportedly encouraged followers to invest in a cryptocurrency scheme—a standard tactic hackers use to scam unsuspecting users.
However, Issa Rae didn’t provide details on how her account was compromised.
While the hacking incident was undoubtedly frustrating, it’s just a tiny blip in the extraordinary career of Issa Rae. The Insecure creator and star is a true multi-hyphenate with an impressive portfolio that spans industries. Issa Rae has proven herself to be a savvy entrepreneur, from her audio production company, which produces podcasts and music, to her prosecco brand, jewelry line, and natural haircare products. She also owns a coffee shop, a restaurant, and a TV production company, solidifying her status as one of Hollywood’s most dynamic and creative forces.
As for the hacker? They may have temporarily disrupted her Twitter account, but they’ll never overshadow Issa Rae’s incredible legacy and impact.
