Touchline’s YouTube Channel Hacked And Taken Down. Shock rippled through the South African hip-hop community this week after it was revealed that Touchline’s official YouTube channel has been hacked and completely removed.
The breach occurred on Saturday, 17 May 2025, when the email linked to the artist’s channel was compromised by unknown cybercriminals.
A statement from Touchline’s team confirmed the incident, noting that all the content hosted on the channel, including music videos, freestyles, live performances, and exclusive behind-the-scenes footage, has vanished. The loss marks a major blow to the rapper’s digital presence and a critical platform that helped him connect with fans around the globe.
“We regret to inform fans, partners and supporters that Touchline’s email… was hacked… and as a result, his official YouTube channel has been taken down along with all his content,” the statement reads.
Touchline’s team is actively working with YouTube and cybersecurity experts to regain access and restore the content. The statement assures fans that all efforts are being made to resolve the matter swiftly and securely.
Supporters are urged to remain alert during this period. “We urge all fans to remain vigilant and avoid interacting with any suspicious content or links that may appear to be from Touchline’s YouTube account,” the team warned.
Social media has since been flooded with messages of support from fans and fellow artists, many expressing frustration over the vulnerability of creators’ online platforms.
