How Lurk detects this

Lurk continuously reads the publicfollowing lists of tracked Instagram accounts and stores each “A follows B” relationship as a follow edge, along with the date it was first and last seen. A repeated check promotes an edge to confirmedonce it's been observed consistently; a brand-new sighting is shown as observed until it re-confirms. This page reports the observed state of the X Lechu → Lionel Messi edge as of July 20, 2026.

Everything here is derived from publicly-visible Instagram data — no login, no private accounts, no direct messages. It reflects what Lurk last observed and is not an official statement from Instagram or from X Lechu. Because follows change often, the live answer can differ from this snapshot.
