"That's not cool!" - RiceGum responds after realizing his Twitter handle got hacked and posted a suspicious crypto scheme

On January 15, 2024, Rumble streamer Bryan "RiceGum's" official account on X/Twitter got hacked. The handle, which has over 2.5 million followers, advertised a suspicious cryptocurrency scheme in which a token called "$RICE" was for sale. Comments on the social media post were also disabled. Here's a screenshot from RiceGum's account:

During a livestream on the same day, fans informed RiceGum of the situation and urged him to review his profile. His response was:

"I got hacked? 'Check Twitter.' Oh, no! My Twitter did get hacked. Oh, no! Oh, no! (The streamer's friend asks, 'Is it the first time?') That's what my chat is saying. (The streamer's friend responds, 'They're probably trolling you.') Oh, no!"

Wondering if his Instagram account could also get hacked, the 27-year-old added:

"Does that mean that my Instagram is next? Dude, that's not cool! Bro, that is not cool! Wait, Philip, tell me what they're tweeting. (The streamer checks his hacked Twitter account) That's not good, bro, that's not good! That's not good, bro. Now what do I do? Oh, my god! Yo, chat, getting hacked live is not a vibe."
