Chile One’s Facebook blue badge has mysteriously disappeared after an alleged failure to pay the US$11.99 verification subscription. 😱🙆
The claim is making the rounds on Zambian social media: that musician Chile One MrZambia lost his Facebook blue verification badge because an alleged US$11.99 Meta Verified subscription payment was not made. However, there is currently no public confirmation from Chile One or Meta explaining exactly why the badge disappeared.
What is known is that Meta’s paid verification service, Meta Verified, is tied to an active subscription. If a subscription is canceled or payment issues occur, verification-related benefits, including the badge, can potentially be affected. Meta’s help documentation confirms that verification status is linked to the verification program and subscription management.
So at this stage, the “failure to pay US$11.99” explanation remains an allegation circulating online rather than a verified fact.
If Chile One or his management team issue an official statement, that would provide a clearer answer as to whether the missing badge was caused by a subscription issue, a platform review, or another administrative reason.
