Drake's X Account Hacked on December 15 to Promote $ANITA Memecoin, Generating $4.9M in Trading Volume with $12K Market Cap

Canadian rapper Drake's X account was reportedly hacked on December 15, 2024, and used to promote a fake Solana memecoin called $ANITA. The fraudulent posts generated approximately $4.9 million in trading volume before they were identified as scams and removed. The memecoin was falsely claimed to be associated with Drake's tour, leading many of his 39 million followers to invest. Following the exposure of the scam, the market capitalization of $ANITA plummeted to $12,000. This incident is part of a broader trend where high-profile social media accounts are exploited to promote dubious cryptocurrency projects.
