Shreya Ghoshal cautions fans about ‘strange’ Twitter advertisements featuring her AI-created images: ‘Numerous celebrities are experiencing this’

Singer Shreya Ghoshal disclosed last month that her X (previously Twitter) account had been compromised, and she was making every effort to reclaim access. On Sunday, she alerted her fans that she had successfully regained access to the account but cautioned them about AI-generated advertisements featuring her name and image on the platform.

She then warned fans about ads running on X with her likeness and name, writing, “Also, there are many weird ads that are running which are articles about me with very absurd headlines and AI generated pictures. These are click baits, which lead to spam/fraudulent links. Please keep reporting these ads. I have no power in putting them down. I have tried my best. These are X ad regulations, which allow such ads to run. Hope they solve these matters soon.”

Shreya also posted a video expressing happiness at regaining her account. But she warned fans against clicking on the X ads, writing, “There are some ads, there are some articles which keep running as ads which are clickbaits. These are ads which are running with breaking news or with something negative and sensational headline. When people click on it, there’s spam or fraudulent links in it.”

The singer asked fans to report these, adding that she has tried to get them blocked multiple times and has been unsuccessful. “X has to do something about it to ensure such ads don’t run. It’s not just me, many other celebrities are facing this. Please don’t click, you know they’re fraudulent and AI-generated,” she said.
