KANYE: "My Instagram has been hacked and it’s following a fake coin."

Ye said his Instagram account had been hacked and was following a fake coin, while directing followers to the official YZY Money project account, @YZY_MNY. Reports said his Instagram was following only two accounts at the time: his wife, Bianca Censori, and a YZY Token/YZY TKN page that Ye said was unauthorized. The incident came shortly after Ye launched YZY Money, his Solana-based crypto project, which was presented as part of a broader financial ecosystem rather than a standalone meme coin. The episode mattered because it highlighted the risk of impersonation and account compromise around celebrity crypto launches, especially when projects can quickly attract speculation, copycats, and trading activity before trust is established.
