LeBron James
LeBron James probably caused the most ruckus about his refusal to pay for his blue checkmark, partly because his response was funny and partly because he’s become known for being famously cheap. Back in 2017, his former teammate Dwayne Wade said James was a cheapskate. In response, James said: “That is so, so falsely true. I’m not turning on data roaming, I’m not buying no apps, I still got Pandora with commercials. I’m not paying for it.”
James evoked his famous words when he declared he was not paying for Twitter Blue to keep his blue checkmark.
“Welp guess my blue [checkmark] will be gone soon cause if you know me I ain’t paying the 5,” he tweeted on March 31.
