Twitter takes the Blue Verified Tick from users who don't pay.

Twitter has taken away the traditional blue verified badges from accounts that do not have a Twitter Blue subscription.

These celebrities, including Amitabh Bachchan, Virat Kohli, and SRK, no longer have the blue tick on Twitter.

Following Elon Musk's takeover of Twitter in late last year, Twitter initially announced intentions to launch a revised Twitter Blue subscription.

Musk's plan to include the blue badge with the Twitter Blue subscription has drawn criticism from a number of celebrities and media organisations.

Some Twitter accounts, while not being Twitter Blue subscribers, are nonetheless verified. LeBron James, an NBA player, and author Stephen King are examples of this.
