The YouTube channels of Ranveer Allahbadia, popularly known as BeerBiceps, have been restored after being hacked at around 11:30 pm on Wednesday, September 25. Following the breach, all videos were deleted, and both channels were given new usernames by the hackers. One channel was renamed “@Elon.trump.tesla_live2024” and the other became “@Tesla.event.trump_2024,” with content featuring world’s richest man and Tesla boss Elon Musk, and US Presidential candidate Donald Trump. Initially, YouTube deleted both channels, leading users to a “404 not found” page with the message, “This page isn’t available. Sorry about that. Try searching for something else.”

Ranveer Allahbadia YouTube hacked: What the podcaster said
After both his YouTube channels were hacked, Allahbadia put up stories on both his Instagram accounts. In one the Instagram Story he asked, “Is this the end of my YouTube career?” while sharing a picture of himself wearing a cat eye mask. He added, “Was nice knowing y’all.”
In another Instagram Story, he wrote, “Celebrating my two main channels being hacked with my favourite food. Vegan burgers,” adding: “Death of BeerBiceps met with death of diet.” He wrote this text on a picture of burger and fries that he was enjoying at Singapore’s Changi Airport after recording several podcasts for his YouTube channels.
On his personal Instagram account, Ranveer Allahbadia shared two Instagram stories addressing the hack. In one, he wrote, “Me after seeing that my channel got hacked,” paired with a video of himself running into the woods. The video, which begins in color, slowly fades to black and white.

‘No jokes. No PR’: Ranveer Allahbadia YouTube hacked
A few hours ago, Allahbadia said that his two main YouTube channels getting hacked are not a PR stunt. “No jokes, no PR. Working on next steps.”
“Just feeling calm right now. Life always shows you the next doorway,” he further expressed and completed the post with a folded hand emoticons.
Viraj Sheth, who co-founded talent agency Monk Entertainment with Allahbadia, and who manages the YouTuber joked that they have started “selling Tesla cars” and “endorsing Trump” for the November elections in the United States.
He expressed that he has “full faith in YouTube” and believes the company will assist him in recovering the hacked and deleted accounts. “Most hands-on team I’ve worked with,” he further added.
And just like Allahbadia, he also dismissed claims that the channel hack was a PR stunt: “Unfortunately, some people believe the channel hack is a PR stunt because we are not panicking. To put it on record, this is not a PR stunt. Both channels were hacked last night around 11:30 pm. We are calm because we have full faith in the YouTube team to help us retrieve the channels as they were before the hack.”
