Wife of Ghanaian rapper, Sarkodie, Tracy Owusu-Addo, better known as Tracy Sarkcess has lashed out at a fan running a fake account on Twitter in her name.
The new trend of clout chasing on Twitter, is to create parody accounts in the name of celebrities in order to gain followers.
Most artistes, Institutions and even Presidents have parody accounts created in their names.
These accounts usually take issues on a lighter note and create humour in the name of the said celebrity, however, the names used by these accounts are very similar to that of the celebrity and one can easily mistake them for the actual accounts of the said celebrity..
Taking to Twitter to register her displeasure with the account that gave her and her family out when they returned to Ghana, Tracy Sarkcess said it’s high time those accounts are done away with.
Tracy’s concern is well-founded as many blogs and renowned journalist have carried the tweet from this account, as a tweet from Tracy herself.
To her, with time such people will start using her name to dupe people others of their hard-earned money; something she really dislikes in her life.
She said; “Can you stop with this nonsense and fake account please?! Impersonating someone is a crime! If it’s a parody account fine but let it be known and stop deceiving people. It’s my name your playing with. Thank you & good morning” while replying to the fake account which announced her return to Ghana saying ” Welcome to Ghana. @sarkodie and myself with Titi have arrived in Ghana. Thank God for traveling mercies”.
She added “Next thing you know, he/she will start asking ppl for momo as if it were me!”
