Last week, the singer/actress Rita Ora took to Twitter to announce that she would release new music from her forthcoming US debut album if a message she posted on the website received 100,000 retweets.
An easy task when one considers the star’s 4 million followers, right? Wrong.
For, after said message only scored 2,000 retweets, it soon emerged that Ora hadn’t been behind the original message at all, hacked by a someone who seems to have hoped to leak hew new material…with her own account.
Today, the entertainment website ‘BuzzFeed‘ have revealed just why the hacker had been an unsuccessful in his or her leaking endeavours.
Details below…
After a number of Twitter users mocked claims that she had actually been hacked, Ora soon found her account thrown under the microscope by ‘Buzz’, who uses ‘Twitteraudit’ to reach the following conclusion:
Many celebs buy fake followers to boost their numbers, and Ora may be guilty: Twitteraudit.com says she has 1.3 million spam followers.
However, should one make their way to ‘Twitteraudit‘ now, they’ll find that though 1.366,326 of the singer’s followers are in fact spam accounts, 2,582,593 are real, giving her a positive score of 65%.
This, according to the website, makes her follower count more “real” than it is “fake.”
