Country music star goes goes viral for social media rant, calling out at ‘friggin losers’
Darius Rucker went viral for slamming online scammers in an explosive social media rant after his name was being used to steal money from fans.
The country music star called those involved “losers” and warning his followers not to fall for fake accounts.
Rucker took aim at recent fraudulent activity attached to his likeness.
“Yo don’t you have anything better to do than try to scam people,” he posted on social media. U guys are the friggin worse. U are not me and have nothing to do with me. Losers man!!”
In a separate post, Rucker made it clear he only has a single social media account.
“Everyone, this is my only account,” he posted. “Don’t have a personal account or anybody who works for me, including my kids, will not have an account that will ask u for money. They are scammers.”
Earlier this month, the former “Hootie and the Blowfish” lead singer was giving fans a refund.
The country music star took to social media to apologize for his voice giving out just a couple of songs in to his Atlantic City show.
“I feel awful and I’m so sorry — I have never lost my voice in all my years of performing,” Rucker posted on his Instagram story Sunday.
