You would have recently got to hear that many of the Twitter followers of Justin Bieber are fake. If you haven’t, you would be more shocked to know that there are several such celebs who have been deceived by their fans and followers on their Twitter accounts. While nearly half of the fans of Justin Bieber are fake, the condition is even worse for other celebrities.
Socialbakers, an analytics firm based in Prague, has revealed these numbers for Bieber that were enough to shake Canadian pop. As a double check, there is data shared by Status People that was captured through their Fake Follower Check. Read on to check out what it says about celebs that have fake or inactive following.
Justin Bieber: This pop sensation seems to have become a real sensation for only 42% of his Twitter fans. The rest are either fake or inactive.
Katy Perry: Katy is not behind Bieber in the number of fake followers she has. There are about 49% of her nearly 35 million followers that are fake. While the number of fakes is more than 17 million, the number goes up to more than 27 million if inactive followers are included. So, that leaves Katy with just 22% of genuine followers.
Lady Gaga: Would you not get crazy to know that such a famous celeb is genuinely followed by merely 22% of her total fan base on Twitter? This is true as she has the recorded number of followers as more than 36 million, while the fakes compose about 37% of this number. If both her fake and inactive fans are calculated, the number goes above 28 million.
Barack Obama: Could you believe that such a supported public figure would only be having 21% genuine fan base on Twitter? Yes, it is true that out of more than 29 million followers that Obama has, nearly 15 million are fake. That means half of his fan base is fake and 29% is inactive.
Taylor Swift: This pop singer is also a part of the group with fake followers. She has the record-breaking 53% fake fan base on Twitter. Her total number of followers is seen to be over 26 million, while there are merely 19% of these that are good followers.
Britney Spears: Britney has a total of more than 25 million followers, while her real fan base is just 22% of these numbers. About 46% of her fans are fake and 32% are inactive.
Rihanna: Her faker score is more than 11 million out of a total of over 29 million followers. So, only 34% are left to be genuine ones.
Justin Timberlake: This famous actor is followed by merely 20% good fans out of his total fan base of more than 18 million.
Shakira: She has no different figures than those mentioned above. Out of about 20 million fans, there are only 26% who really appreciate her. About 8 million followers or 43% are faking on her fan page and 31% are inactive.
Thus, the story is about the same for several such celebrities. Is there no escape to faking?
