Dril, who supported the “Block The Blue” campaign aiming to block Twitter Blue users, received a blue badge himself.

Dril is considered to be among the most absurd Twitter trolls who has been active on the social media platform since 2008.

Twitter revoked the badges of some prominent users, causing frustration among longtime users.

The association between Twitter Blue and Elon Musk fandom added fuel to the fire.

Dril became a prominent proponent of the campaign, engaging in a troll competition with Twitter chief Elon Musk.

Elon Musk acknowledged that he is trolling users who are engaged in blocking Twitter blue users by giving them blue ticks.
