Oh no, they suspended 's Twitter account! Wasn't it obvious he was doing a PARODY???
Readers added context
Daniel Radcliffe doesn't use Twitter and deleted his account in the past.

To everybody that's congratulating me right now on my new Kid Rock parody video, let me clarify - that's not me. That's actually Kid Rock.
Hey! Stay in your lane!

twitter.com/vegspice/statu…I'm not sure how comfortable I am with them using a parody of "Amish Paradise" in the Sonic the Hedgehog trailer.
Big thanks to the Library of Congress for loaning me Grover Cleveland’s accordion for the last month of my tour. 🪗
Humble beginnings: Did you know that prior to his career-defining role as “Weird Al” Yankovic, actor Daniel Radcliffe appeared in a number of movies about a boy wizard, in which he played the title character? #MovieTrivia
Congratulations to Paul Rudd on being named People Magazine’s Sexiest Man Alive of 2021.
See? Not so easy, is it?
I am profoundly sad to hear that after 67 years, MAD Magazine is ceasing publication. I can’t begin to describe the impact it had on me as a young kid – it’s pretty much the reason I turned out weird. Goodbye to one of the all-time greatest American institutions. #ThanksMAD
The time has finally come… On Aug. 27 at 11:30 AM I’ll be getting my very own star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame (6914 Hollywood Blvd., right across the street from the Chinese Theatre). The ceremony is FREE and open to the public, so come on down!!
Travel Tip: Next time you’re in Paris, be sure to try the FOOD!
Why is “dying penniless” considered a bad thing? That’s what I call perfect money management.
Look what just showed up in the mail!! Whew - FINALLY I can get rid of these dusty OLD ones!
One of the best days of my life. Thanks again to everybody who helped make this happen.
I just found out I’m getting a star on the HOLLYWOOD WALK OF FAME. Unbelievable!!
My daughter got her driver’s license yesterday. (Sorry, this is the most recent picture of her I could find.)
Finally... definitive proof that we aren’t the same person!
Sorry for screaming at the top of my lungs, but WEIRD: THE AL YANKOVIC STORY JUST GOT EIGHT EMMY NOMINATIONS!!!!
If you thought 2021 sucked, I’m afraid I’ve got some bad news for you…
Devastated to hear of the passing of my dear, dear friend, the lovely Miss Judy Tenuta. I can’t believe she’s gone. Earth has truly lost a goddess.
My current mental state has absolutely nothing to do with the fact that I just let my daughter dye my hair purple.
I realize this doesn’t make me any different from 80% of the people currently living in Los Angeles, but I just finished writing a screenplay and I’m pretty excited about it.
Just listened to this. Not a very faithful cover version, if you ask me.
RIP Little Richard - the architect of rock ‘n’ roll, an extremely cool guy and a formidable Wheel of Fortune contestant
#StrangerThings3 is the best season yet, and not just because Mr. Clarke is listening to “My Bologna” in episode 2 and Dustin is wearing a Weird Al T-shirt in episode 3. (Wait, no, that’s EXACTLY why.)
Just got back from dropping off my only child at college for her freshman year. Sorry, this is the most recent picture I could find of her.
Happy one-year anniversary to this tweet.

Yeah, no, sorry. Not gonna do "My Corona."
I’ve been a huge fan of since 1989, but in my completely unbiased opinion, I have to say this is the best couch gag they’ve ever done.
Might have to re-think my Halloween costume for this year.

Imagine. She's got her Avengers candy bag. She's dressed up as The Wasp for Halloween, escorted by her father, Paul Rudd, who played Ant-Man, in the actual blockbuster film, Ant-Man and the Wasp.
But he's decided to go as Weird Al Yankovic
Today marks the day my daughter legally becomes an adult. Sorry, this is the most recent footage I could find of her.
Thanks to , 1st AD on the set of Curb Your Enthusiasm - he just sent me this sweet video of the exact moment when and I both found out we were getting stars on the Walk of Fame.
This lady married me 20 years ago today. Thank you for the 20 happiest years of my life.
Roku's working on it. In the meantime there's VPN (Very Probably No) way to watch it legally. I'm sure you have a TORRENT of other questions, but I have to move along, sorry.
Hey you guys. Don't worry, we're cool. I pinky swear I won't destroy the world. twitter.com/mattyglesias/s
This Tweet is unavailable.
Yeah, I'm not gonna bother describing the context of this joke.
Now It Can Be Told: The gentleman who informed me and that we were both getting stars on the Hollywood Walk of Fame was none other than… Mr. Larry David.
Yes, I know there are a lot of horrible things going on in the world right now, but can we all just stop and take a moment to appreciate the fact that they’re finally coming out with an accordion emoji??
Whew! Now that I'm finally vaccinated, I can go back to washing my hands for only EIGHTEEN seconds.
With everything going on in the world right now, I figured it was the perfect time to upload this version of the "Fat" video with all the music stripped out.
Okay, you guys, I’m giving you a heads-up, but I still want you to act all surprised and everything when MY NEW SINGLE DROPS ON FRIDAY.
Nice day, thought I might mess around and participate in democracy.
Some of you might not be aware of this, but when you vote, they give you a FREE STICKER. Not even kidding, they JUST GIVE IT TO YOU. You’d have to be a real IDIOT not to take advantage of this. Just sayin’.
There are MANY reasons why I wanted to cast Daniel Radcliffe in my movie, but this is what really clinched the deal for me. (He’s going to absolutely kill this.)
I was hanging out with THIS guy when we both found out. Coincidentally, he’s getting one this year too!!
So… I’ve got COVID. Don’t worry, I’m fine - I’m vaxxed and double-boosted and the symptoms are very mild. But of course this means I unfortunately need to cancel the next couple dates on my tour (Saginaw & Detroit). I’m deeply sorry - we will reschedule those shows ASAP.
Today my album Bad Hair Day was officially certified Double Platinum by the RIAA, 23 years after its release. Going to the DMV right now to change my drivers' license to read: Multi-Platinum Recording Artist Al Yankovic.
In solidarity with the upcoming UPS strike, SAG-AFTRA is now delivering all of its packages in person.

See?? I’m not kidding about this!
Found it! Here's the note that Michael Jackson slipped under my door back in 1989 when we were both recording our albums at the same studio.
If you really feel compelled to insult Franken, Sharpton, Gore, Roker, or Pacino... PLEASE CHOOSE A DIFFERENT NICKNAME.
It’s 2022, people - can we PLEASE stop selling clothes by sexual orientation??
I was in the neighborhood, so I stopped by to visit an old friend last night.
RIP Super Dave and Mean Gene. Thinking maybe I better stay inside today.
Thanks to the friends and heroes who dropped by my show at the Greek last night!
It’s not that hard, people. If you’re going out in public, WEAR A PORCUPINE.
Streaming services typically don’t like to share data, but based on the online reaction I can only assume that EVERY SINGLE LIVING PERSON ON EARTH has now watched the movie. Over 8 billion views - that’s gotta be some kind of record!! Thanks, everybody! #WEIRDTheAlYankovicStory
In case you missed it, here’s a clip of me moderating last night’s Presidential Debate.
