The impersonating account cleverly used a popular song's lyrics to mislead fans, suggesting Chapman was mocking Snell for his move to the Dodgers, which led to widespread confusion.
Giants spokesman Matt Chisholm and Chapman's representatives confirmed that the viral post was fake, yet it still garnered significant attention from fans and media.
Media outlets, including TMZ, initially took the bait and reported that Chapman was throwing shade at Snell, demonstrating how quickly misinformation can spread in today's digital age.
The incident illustrates not only the impact of fake social media accounts but also how easily the narrative can shift, influencing public perception before the truth is known.
