Try to using legacy bitcoin address (starting with 1...) since segwit address can't be verified.

For your reference

-snip- BTW, I found that Bitcoin Core cannot sign using native segwit addresses (bc1...). Somebody should implement that. -snip-
You cannot sign messages using the SegWit address on Bitcoin Core. I've also tried it.

I have also asked about this issue. Here's the answer from achow101:

There is no solution and you cannot sign a message with a segwit address. This has been the case since segwit was introduced. See https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues/10542


I have tried to verify your sign message many time from brainwallet and https://tools.bitcoin.com/verify-message/ but it didn't work
