Instagram Accounts Get Flooded With ‘Nah He Tweakin’ Comments

Read about the meaning behind the viral phrase

If you are an avid Instagram user, you might have recently noticed users commenting ‘Nah he tweakin’ on posts from popular celebrities and accounts. At first, it was thought that the comments are coming from bots. What are bots you asked? Bots are third-party automation software for internet users. Social media bots can answer polls, follow new profiles, make comments, send direct messages, and like posts.

Funnily enough, even Instagram does not exactly know what “Nah he tweakin” is all about. Regarding that, the company just recently Tweeted a statement while addressing a glitch.

Nah he tweakin

After a lot of digging, it turned out that the “Nah he tweakin” comments originated from a beef between Tony Hawk and Lil Nas X.

When Lil Nas X’s devil-themed “Satan Shoes” were released ( it was said that these shoes contained a drop of human blood), all pairs were sold out within a minute of their online release but the rapper received backlash from some people. And just recently, Tony Hawk announced the Liquid Death Skateboard that is infused with his actual blood but did not receive negative feedback.

In response to that, Lil Nas X vented out on Twitter against the public outrage that he received over the human blood “Satan Shoes”. In response to a Rap page’s post about Tony Hawk’s skateboards, Lil Nas X stated, “Nah he tweakin.”

now that tony hawk has released skateboards with his blood painted on them, and there was no public outrage, are y’all ready to admit y’all were never actually upset over the blood in the shoes? and maybe u were mad for some other reason?
