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."
