If running iOS 13 or earlier versions, check: Settings - Passwords & Accounts - Accounts - Any rogue entries here? If so, delete the rogue account.

If running iOS 14, check: Settings - Calendar - Accounts - Any rogue entries here? If so, delete the rogue account.

Your Apple ID has not been hacked. You have added a SPAM calendar.

In your Calendar app, tap Calendars at the bottom, and find the calendar that does not belong and delete it.

Alternatively, go to:

Settings -> Calendar -> Accounts. Check if there is an account you do not know if YES delete it immediately.

No rogue entries. Deleted the spam entry on the calendar and looks good. Thanks so much for the quick replies and help.
