Several personalities, although deceased, received a blue certification on their Twitter account. A badge that now means that the user has subscribed to the Twitter Blue subscription, for about ten euros monthly.

Bob Marley, who died in 1984, obtained Twitter's blue certification over the weekend. Other celebrities, alive and well, have also been awarded the certification, such as the English comic book author Neil Gaiman. "For the curious, I'm not a Twitter Blue follower. I didn't give my phone number to anyone. What a sad and confusing place this has become," he wrote.
