This is a scam. The BBC News article pictured here does not exist and the quoted interaction never happened. These celebrity-related crypto scams are becoming increasingly common. https://www.aol.co.uk/news/worrying-rise-crypto-scams-claiming-085501372.html Note needed as the OP is not especially clear about this being a scam, and some may be fooled.

Original Tweet

Tweet embedding is no longer reliably available, due to the platform's instability (in terms of both technology and policy). If the Tweet still exists, you can view it here: https://twitter.com/foo_bar/status/1876929098460573899

Please note, though, that you may need to have your own Twitter account to access that page. I am currently exploring options for archiving Tweet data in a post-API context.
