Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James has vowed to never pay for the Twitter Blue subscription.

Twitter owner Elon Musk recently announced that as of April 1st, 2023, the social platform will begin removing legacy verified checkmarks. For a user to keep a blue checkmark on Twitter, they must sign up for Twitter Blue at a cost of $8 per month.

Musk's new policies have caused a stir ever since he bought Twitter in October last year for $44 billion, per NY Times. Moreover, the billionaire wants organizations to pay $1,000 a month to get verified.

Since buying the platform Musk has implemented several sporadic and sweeping changes, sparking heavy criticism from users.

However, given his persona as a troll, the whole thing may be a spoof considering it is set to be implemented on April 1st.
