Reggae icon Beres Hammond revealed on Sunday that his official Facebook page has been hacked, resulting in the sharing of content that does not reflect his values, brand, or beliefs.
The veteran singer made the disclosure after becoming aware of posts appearing on the platform without his knowledge or consent. According to Hammond, the content circulating on the page is in no way aligned with who he is, prompting swift action from his team.
In a message shared via his verified Instagram account, Hammond assured fans that efforts are underway to resolve the situation. He also offered a heartfelt apology to supporters who may have been affected or confused by the unauthorized posts.
“My family! It has been brought to my attention that my Facebook page has been posting content that does not align with anything I believe in nor stand for. The page has been hacked, unfortunately,” Hammond wrote. “I’d like to take this opportunity to apologize to all my family for this awful situation taking place. My team and I are working tirelessly to get this problem solved.”
The singer further advised that, until the issue is fully resolved, Instagram will be his only active social media platform.
“This will be my only active social media account for the time being,” he added, while thanking fans for alerting him to the issue. “Thank you for all the messages you’ve sent to bring this to our attention. Love you my family!”
This follows a week of other issues on Meta platforms with many users reporting receiving fake “login notifications” prompting them to change passwords and other login credentials.
Despite the setback, Hammond’s musical calendar remains on track. The reggae legend is set to headline the highly anticipated Love & Harmony Cruise in April. The star-studded lineup also includes Busy Signal, Romain Virgo, Tanya Stephens, Max Priest, Pinchers, and Agent Sasco, promising an unforgettable celebration of reggae music at sea.
Fans are encouraged to follow Hammond on Instagram for verified updates as his team works to restore control of his Facebook account.
