Social media accounts belonging to Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo were hacked on Thursday afternoon.

More than a dozen tweets popped up in Antetokounmpo’s feed in the span of about five minutes, and they appeared to clearly be the work of someone other than the reigning MVP. The tweets included racial slurs, profane attacks on other players and a claim that Antetokounmpo had the coronavirus.

Giannis Antetokounmpo’s social media accounts were hacked this afternoon and have been taken down. An investigation is underway.“Giannis’ twitter, phone, email and bank accounts were hacked!” Los Angeles Lakers forward Kostas Antetokounmpo tweeted.

The tweets weren’t up for long before disappearing from Giannis Antetokounmpo’s account. The Bucks said in a statement that an investigation is underway. Octagon, Antetokounmpo’s agency, also confirmed the hacking.
