140 Bars Or Less: Bow Wow's Twitter Held Hostage
Welcome to this weeks’Special edition of “140 Bars Or Less: Bow Wow’s Twitter Held Hostage”. The goal of this column is to bring you the most entertaining and outrageous tweets of the week from the world of hip hop, and this week nothing was more outrageous than when a 19 year old aspiring “rapper” hacked Bow Wow’s Twitter.
Truly a bizarre scenario, this was not the first time a rapper’s Twitter was hacked, but it was the first time the hacker posted demands on the artist’s timeline. Reminiscent of the 90s movie “Airheads” when a struggling band takes a radio station hostage demanding their demo gets played, the man would not relinquish the Twitter account until he received $10,000 and his online mixtape was heard by the masses. Later, the situation devolved into a full-blown “Stan” scenario, as he revealed himself to be a massive fan of Bow Wow. In the end the hacker/rapper/fan got emotional and felt hurt that Bow Wow’s followers were unfairly attacking him. Here's the tweet by tweet recap of Bow Wow’s Twitter being held hostage.
Starting out strong and threatening, the hacker feels powerful having Bow Wow’s Twitter page and gives his demand: $10,000 or else! He mentions he has all the direct messages Bow Wow receives from females, but not quite sure what he is threatening to do with them. He has already established that Bow Wow has lost control of his account. What’s he going to do, set up a date with Trina?
