Vinnie Hacker responds to backlash after posing with cigarette Instagram: vinniehackerTikTok star Vinnie Hacker was ready for backlash after posing with a cigarette in a recent Instagram post, despite claiming he was quitting smoking last year. 20-year-old Vinnie Hacker is an extremely popular influencer, boasting over 15 million followers on TikTok and 5.6 million on Instagram. Hacker was officially signed to esports and entertainment organization 100 Thieves last year, and also sports a Twitch channel where he occasionally plays video games with fans. The creator is known for having a somewhat edgy style and could be seen smoking cigarettes in some of his previous posts\u2026 but in November 2022, he claimed that he was finally quitting tobacco. Vinnie Hacker posts smoking photos despite quitting tobacco in 2022 \u201cTwo days without vaping so far,\u201d he wrote in a November 5 post. \u201cAlthough this isn\u2019t a huge milestone in terms of longevity, it is for me. The first step is to make a small one, and I hope y\u2019all can support me on it.\u201d \u201cThe thing that helped me the most was imagining my parents outliving their son,\u201d he added. \u201cAlso, who the f*ck wants to say they died to \u2018nicotine.\u2019 I ain\u2019t finna let that sh*t win.\u201d However, fans were quick to lash out at Vinnie after he posted a series of photos to Instagram on January 18. In the pics, Hacker is seen sporting some seriously vampy fashion, boasting a long dark coat, dangling earrings, and \u2014 most notably \u2014 a cigarette between his lips. He\u2019s currently vacationing with fellow influencer Noah Beck in Paris\u2026 and although Beck was happy to take some photos with his bestie, fans weren\u2019t too jazzed about the pics due to Hacker\u2019s cigarette. It looks like the influencer knew this backlash would happen, as he captioned the post: \u201cWho cares about the cig? Enjoy the post, will you?\u201d \u201cNah, I care about that cig big brother,\u201d another influencer said. \u201cPut that cigarette away right now,\u201d one fan commented. \u201cDidn\u2019t you quit smoking?\u201d another asked. Hacker is far from the first creator to come under fire for smoking. TikToker and singer-songwriter Nessa Barrett has also caught flak for posing with a cigarette in some of her Instagram posts \u2014 but unlike Vinnie, she had a far harsher statement for fans who took issue with the whole situation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
