Kansas City Chiefs star Patrick Mahomes has made it clear that he won’t be paying for Twitter Blue’s monthly subscription as accounts will be stripped of their verified checkmarks.
Mahomes’ teammate, Marques Valdez-Scantling, was telling his quarterback to stick with the program and pay the $8 a month to keep the record verified. The two-time Super Bowl MVP had the perfect comeback.
«I can’t bro I have kids…» Mahomes said on Twitter.

Twitter reminded individual users on March 23 that their verification would disappear unless users signed up for Twitter Blue.
Mahomes was joined by Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James, who also said he would not pay the checkmark’s monthly subscription fee. James joined news organizations that said they weren’t going to pay for the subscription either.

Mahomes and James can still keep their verified marks if their respective organizations participate through Twitter’s Verified Organizations program.
That program, for a monthly payment of $1,000, offers gold checkmarks and other features to businesses and nonprofits, while governments get gray checkmarks, according to the company. Members of those organizations can be verified through the program for an additional fee per member.

“The Twitter account of any individual affiliated with a verified organization is automatically verified,” Twitter CEO Elon Musk said in a recent tweet.
