【In 80 Betten um die Welt】

Jackie Onassis,In 80 Betten um die Welt the First Lady to U.S. President John F. Kennedy, has been kicking up a bit of a storm on Twitter in the past few months. So much so, that she's had her account suspended, blue tick and all.

All this, despite the fact she passed away back in 1994. Way before the social platform existed.

Apparently, she was sending out some very risque tweets about shooting capitalists and abolishing private property on her verified account.

Confused? Well, there's a ruse here. Jackie Onassis is also the name of an Australian rap duo.

They'd been on Twitter for "several years already," wrote band member Raph Dixon in a blog post explaining the incident.

Their account's verification left them in an "interesting and potentially unprecedented position" and as such, they saw an opportunity to have some "good times online."

"We changed our bio from 'Sydney based hip-hop duo and members of One Day' to 'Former First Lady of the United States of America' and went pro-communism," Dixon wrote.

Unsurprisingly, the band's rabble rousing tweets left people wondering how on earth the account was verified.

The band claims when members of the alt-right on Twitter got involved, things really "took a turn." The account was suspended in January, but not before they'd p*ssed off the entire internet.

"The only further correspondence we have gotten from Twitter is an email saying that we won't be getting the account back under any circumstances," Dixon told Mashable in an email.

"To the people who have gotten their panties in a twist about some harmless internet bants," he added, "there is an old Australian saying: Why be cut for?"

Twitter told Mashable they do not offer comment on individual accounts. However, the company is pretty clear when it comes to banning accounts for impersonation.

Tough break, Jackie Onassis. May your legacy live on.
