Twitter has already announced that they will begin removing blue checks from verified accounts who haven't signed up for a Twitter Blue subscription.
Following Elon Musk's takeover, the billionaire decided to introduce an eight-dollar monthly fee for people who want to get a blue check next to their names on Twitter.
The famous social media platform introduced the verification system back in 2009 after they were sued by former St. Louis Cardinals manager Tony La Russa for impersonation.
Celebrities tend to have verified accounts, but it is doubtful whether they will decide to pay in order to retain the blue tick after April 1. Several high-profile users have already declared that they are not willing to pay for their account to be verified.
"Welp guess my blue tick will be gone soon cause if you know me I ain't paying the 5," Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James stressed with a post on Twitter.
Meanwhile, NFL star Patrick Mahomes wondered when it Twitter "taking away our check" before jokingly stressing that he can't pay the monthly fee because he has to feed his kids.
Dallas Cowboys linebacker Micah Parsons has made clear that he has no intention to pay for the blue check and joked that he would "start making troll accounts now".
Former Chiefs superstar Tyreek Hill joined the movement, indicating that "for $8 bucks y'all can have this blue check mark , I don't need no kind of plan."
Country music singer Jimmie Allen is another celebrity who declared that he won't pay for the blue tick.
"I am NOT!! Paying for blue check on twitter. I'll just be blue check-less. I know it's me," he tweeted.
