This might’ve already been addressed by the artist but I dont use social media so I wouldn’t know.

Reading through the wikipedia page on leetspeak because it’s a slow day at work and something caught my eye:

Am I tripping for making the connection to Charli XCX’s brat album from last year? Would definitely be on brand for the artist.

    It does seem to be a coincidence. Or, perhaps that was chosen as the starting point, and after several rounds of focus groups, they settled on what we ended I’ll with.

    I downloaded a copy of the album art, loaded it in GIMP, and used the color picker, and it considered that 89cd00. According to multiple sources online, it is officially 8ace00. Then, I compared those to a few possible 1337speak variations of the word “baddie”.

      Oh neat, what a nice coincidence to find then. I’m away from my desktop for at least 6 more hours or I would’ve double checked it on my own before making a post
