Golden State Warriors star Jimmy Butler’s official X account was reportedly compromised. The hacker took over the account on Tuesday and began posting politically charged and provocative content that deviated sharply from Butler’s usual basketball-focused posts.

The alleged hacker sent a direct message aimed at President Donald Trump and threatened the accounts of other celebrities and athletes.

"Since everyone too scared to speak up about it imma hack every celeb and athlete and tweet the truth,” the hacker tweeted from Butler's account.

Some of the posts were deleted shortly after being published, indicating that the account may have been partially regained by Butler or his team. As of now, neither Butler nor his representatives has issued an official statement about the breach.

Butler was acquired by the Warriors on Feb. 6 in a five-team trade that sent Andrew Wiggins to the Miami Heat. He quickly signed a two-year contract extension through 2026–27 and chose to wear “Butler III” on his jersey to honor his late father.

Jimmy Butler's debut game came against the Chicago Bulls on Feb. 8. He dropped 25 points, including a Warriors franchise-record 11 made free throws, as he helped spark a stunning 132–111 comeback, erasing a 24-point deficit.


Jimmy Butler responds to Carlos Alcaraz’s Cincinnati win

“I’m so sorry for Jannik! Nobody likes to win because their opponent retires, especially in a final like this," Alcaraz wrote. "Wishing you a speedy recovery! Very happy with my week in Cincinnati and feeling ready for the US Open!”
“VAMOS!" Butler responded on his Instagram story.

Carlos Alcaraz won the men’s singles title at the 2025 Cincinnati Open. Jannik Sinner retired while trailing 5–0 in the first set, as the final lasted just about 23 minutes, one of the few instances in which the title was decided by retirement.

Sinner appeared visibly unwell. He applied an ice pack to his head and later cited illness that worsened overnight. It was Alcaraz’s eighth ATP Masters 1000 title and his 22nd career ATP Tour title, as the match also snapped Sinner’s impressive 26-match win streak on hard courts.
