A fan of rapper J. Cole
threatened to kill his own sister if Cole didn't re-tweet him, posting the
terrifying image you see below on his feed. He is now the subject of a
police investigation.
A rep for the New
Braunfels, Tex., police say the message and photo were brought to their
attention and prompted officials to look into the matter.
The rep says the teenager
in question was using an unloaded BB gun, "is cooperating and it seems
this was just a bad lapse in judgment."
The department notes that
"this is still an open investigation," but "for the time being
no charges are being filed." The kid is also very, very sorry.
"I'd like to
apologize to America for the photo and to put J. Cole in that position. It was
all a joke," he told TMZ.
"It was an unloaded BB gun."
"My sister was in on
it. I only tweeted it because I didn't expect a response."
"Mr. Cole please
don't sue me. I want to formally apologize more to J. Cole and yeah my mom made
me delete my twitter until I fixed it.”
Well, that's good at least
... but seriously kids. Please, do us all a favor and think before you Tweet
and/or make jokes pertaining to gun violence.
No word on whether he'll
still buy J.'s new album.
