Media agency takes responsibility for Virgin’s naughty Kanye tweet

Media agency takes responsibility for Virgin’s naughty Kanye tweet

Media agency Carat has tweeted saying an employee was behind the Virgin Australia’s tweet to Kanye West telling him “EAD (eat a dick), you douche.”

The original tweet accidentally posted from the Virgin Airlines account, which has over 210,000 followers, came after Yeezy complained that Pitchfork should have rated his album 30/10 instead of 9/10.

The tweet was quickly deleted, with Virgin Australia tweeting: “A recent tweet on our account was not published by a Virgin Australia employee and we are investigating the matter. We apologise for any offence caused.”

The social media rumour-mill kicked into overdrive, with some people claiming Virgin had been hacked or aren’t big Yeezy fans. Turns out, an employee at media agency Carat is behind the oopsie:

“The staff member responsible is still working with us and we are assessing a suitable course of disciplinary action with them,” a Carat representative told Travel Weekly‘s sister publication B&T.

In all fairness, West has been a bit of a douche with the promotion of his latest album The Life Of Pablo, including starting an Twitter argument with Wiz Khalifa after the rapper attacked Yeezy’s new album title.
