Kevin Durant debunks fake Tinder profile, mocks fans who fell for it
A parody account called ‘NBACentel’ on X recently created a fake Tinder profile for Kevin Durant, complete with a humorous bio that poked fun at his reputation. The post was convincing enough to fool many of his fans into thinking it was real, but Durant himself quickly debunked it on social media, mocking those who believed it.
The parody account is known for spreading false information about NBA players, and this latest prank was just another example of their work.
Despite the obvious red flags, many fans fell for the hoax, demonstrating the power of satire on social media. Durant has had to address false information about himself before, and this latest incident only adds to the ongoing joke about his use of secret accounts.
Durant’s past social media behavior has made pranks like this believable to some fans, but it’s important to fact-check information before accepting it as true. In this case, no credible sources or reputable NBA news pages had circulated the screenshot, and the origin of the post from a known troll account should have been a clear indicator of its inauthenticity.
