Since his imprisonment, over ten years ago, news about Ian Watkins has been sporadic but a handful of stories have made the news. In 2019 he was caught concealing a mobile phone in his rectum, landing him a further 10 months on his already daunting sentence. And another recently in 2023 where he was held hostage and tortured by fellow inmates for several hours. But there is another lesser known Watkins story that briefly made the news a few years ago and it’s to do with an incident... that occurred on Twitter.

This was actually my account that got tweeted out. To this day, I still have no idea why. I was a massive fan of Lostprophets when I was younger and funnily, every single quote that apparently came from me in the news wasn't actually from me, the entire thing happened while I was at work.
Every few years something comes up about it like some weird distant memory that once I finally forget about it, it pops up again. As far as I'm aware his SoundCloud account was hacked though.
Edit: Also regarding the username, I had that from about 2009 and eventually changed it some time after this event as I'd never heard about the 'it was just megalolz' incident. Also cheers for not plastering my face in the video, appreciate it!
