The Twitter account 'predicting the future'

A mysterious Twitter account is spooking the Internet as it's been accurately predicting the future.

The handle @BeyonceFan666 called the Brexit vote, Donald Trump’s presidency and even Beyonce’s pregnancy. The Twitter account which follows no one but has 61.7K followers, has a description which reads "ya'll knew. don't get it twisted".



The account, featuring an egg-shaped figure wearing a crown, lipstick and sunglasses, predicted Beyonce's pregnancy last year in July.

Okay so Beyoncé is gonna announce a pregnancy in February(2017)

On September 25 2015, the account tweeted that Lady Gaga will be performing at the Super Bowl halftime show -- four days before NFL made the official announcement.

Not long until NFL announce that Lady Gaga will be performing at the Super Bowl

The Brexit results may have surprised many, but @BeyonceFan666 had warned its followers of the result. Eight days before the referendum.

U.K. Voted to leave the Eu

And before the official results were out, it even declared the per cent by which ‘leave’ would win.

In the referendum 52% vote leave

The most astonishing prediction, however, remains that of Trump’s victory, when the entire world seemed to side with Hillary Clinton.

On June 15, 2016, in its very first tweet, the Twitter handle prophesied that Trump would win the US elections.

Unfortunately Donald Trump will be elected president :(

Four days before the elections, the account reminded everyone of its prediction.

Is yall ready for trump to become president :(((

And pushed for it again a day before:

I would tell you all to go and vote for Hillary but it doesn't matter because I already know that trump has won

As worrying as it is, the social media account had also forewarned that the Trump presidency was not a happy one.

hello from the future👋🏽 just to let you know america is currently crashing and burning under trumps leadership

While it’s true that the person(s) behind the account has been proven correct each time, the British newspaper The Guardian proposed a theory behind it after conducting an investigation.

According to the Guardian, the user “most likely posted the future tweets months ago and kept the account private”. And when the reality confirmed its prediction, the user simply deleted the tweets with opposing predictions, left the accurate ones and made the account public.



Considering that the replies to the tweets are of recent days, Guardian reasons that had the tweets been public at the time of posting there would have been immediate response to them.

However, all the tweets – accurately predicting future - had reactions from February 2, the day Beyonce announced her pregnancy. Besides the account didn’t say Beyonce was having twins – it only mentioned that she was expecting.
