Speaker Knockerz tragically left this world twelve years ago, but his X account has stayed online since then. However, it seems a callous hacker is using the late talent’s account to try and get Plaque Boy Max to listen to their music.
What Happened With Speaker Knockerz Account?
On Thursday (April 16th), fans who follow the late rapper’s dormant account woke up to a peculiar surprise when the account posted it’s first tweet since 2014.
“In the booth???, the account posted. “hit me @plaqueboymax”
The post, which has now been deleted, was the first the account had put up since March 4th, 2014.
In the post, Speaker Knockerz, birth name Derek McAllister, promotes his single “Lonely,” which has gone on to become a cultural touchstone in rap music history.
It’s unclear at this time how the hacker got access to the account.

How Did Fans React To The Hacker’s Post?
Fans were rightfully outraged at the hacker using a beloved deceased rapper’s account to network.
“Hacking a dead person acc corny asf ngl,” said one user. “It’s crazy corny to hack a dead 19 year olds twitter tbh,” said another user. “Bet my 2 cents it wasn’t hacked, said another user. “Probably his homie using it for clout.” I’m tired of them hacking his accounts it’s so disrespectful,” said another user. “They did the same thing to his Instagram and Spotify.”
Speaker Knockerz would have been 31 this year.
His family maintain a second account where his family follows back fans and keeps his spirit alive.
