🚨 THIS WEEK YOU WILL SEE THE BIGGEST CRYPTO SCAM!
Kanye X BarkMeta.
A crypto scammer bought Kanye West’s 𝕏 account for $17M.
Many will FOMO into a meme coin that will print insiders millions and leave retail wrecked.
Before you buy the token, open this thread. 🧵👇
A few days ago, Kanye's account suddenly started tweeting about a crypto token.
The posts looked nothing like Kanye’s usual stuff.
Then, rumors emerged that Kanye sold his X account access for $17M.
If you’ve followed Kanye, you know:
✦ He’s never been a crypto guy.
✦ His social media has always been unpredictable, but personal.
✦ Now, his posts sound scripted and ignorant, like they’re being written by a marketing team.
Multiple signs show Kanye isn’t behind his own account anymore.
✦ Kanye’s writing style changed.
✦ Inconsistent time formats – Some tweets use 12-hour format (AM/PM), others use 24-hour.
✦ Kanye’s account started following BarkMeta’s alt account (@Tall_Data)
✦ Crypto tweets deleted – After backlash, posts vanished, but not before people saw them.
And BarkMeta is now in control of the account
Who is @barkmeta ?
For those unfamiliar: BarkMeta (Christian Barker) is a serial scammer with a history of failed projects and rug pulls.
He started off in fashion before jumping into crypto in 2021.
He started in NFTs, engagement-farmed his way to influence, and has since made over $60M from rugs.
His past projects are all disasters:
✦ Metaluxe NFT – Launched, hyped, disappeared.
✦ DefiApes – Raised 22K ETH (~$40M), slow-rugged.
✦ Network Token – Raised $1M+, turned worthless.
✦ POX on Solana – Pump-and-dump with insider wallets.
Same pattern every single time
His ex-girlfriend, Leah, exposed him.
In December 2022, Leah posted a thread called "The Truth About Barkmeta," revealing:
✦ He paid $15K/month for others to run his Twitter account.
✦ He rugged Metaluxe, a 3D NFT collection that promised "private club access."
✦ He manipulated and dumped tokens on his own followers.
And after she exposed him, he moved to Taiwan to dodge allegations and debt.
This is the same guy who reportedly owns Kanye West’s X account now.
His scam model is simple:
1️⃣ Gain access to a high-profile Twitter account.
2️⃣ Build hype around a crypto project.
3️⃣ Insiders buy in early.
4️⃣ Retail pumps the price.
5️⃣ Team and influencers exit while retail holds the bags.
Barkmeta recently hosted an X-Space to create hype for the $YE token.
During the Space:
✦ He was vague, dodging real questions.
✦ The tension was obvious—people could tell something was off.
✦ He even faked a phone call from Kanye to hype it up.
Will this be the biggest rug yet?
BarkMeta has done this before, but never with an audience this big.
There are only two possibilities:
1️⃣ Kanye has no control over his account, and this is a full-blown scam.
2️⃣ Kanye is involved but doesn’t understand how this will play out.
The Kanye account has 30M+ followers.
If even 0.1% of them buy, that’s $100M+ of liquidity.
Either way, the result is the same:
✦ The coin pumps hard at launch.
✦ Insiders take profits early.
✦ The token collapses.
✦ Kanye’s team claims they had nothing to do with it.
If you think this is a real long-term project, you’re about to get wrecked.
But, if you want to gamble and snipe this for a quick flip, fine.
First, understand the risks.
✦ Track key wallets – Watch sniper & dev activity.
✦ Ignore the noise – Twitter will be flooded with fake hype.
✦ Exit fast – The first big dev sell might be the end.
This is not a trade where the average person wins.
