Twitter Beef---Sept. 8, 2009

Many probably don't realize that Twitter is a great source of news because you can't get it in real time. Latest breaking story involves Brooklyn rapper Fabulous (@myfabulouslife) and singer Tpain (@darealerstTpain). Well according to Fabulous' tweet, Tpain made a comment dissing Jay-Z and himself. Here's the exact quote from Fabulous' page.

"Jus heard Tpain says Fuck JayZ & Fuck Fabolous too over Twitter... Ok, now me & my twiggas/Street Twitter Ditta Dam must go in on him!...Oh yeah Tpain??? i think i hav 2 go in on this nigga...."

Now Fabulous is attempting to start a trending topic on the site titled #tpainbetter where he is dissing the singer at this moment. Fans are outraged as well as they begin to diss the singer and support Fabulous. Although I went through all of Tpain's tweets, I could not find any evidence of Fabulous' claims he said. This leads me to the question of whether this is strictly based on hear-say. Well it turns out it is hear-say. Fabulouse discovered that it was not Tpain who said it, but a fake Tpain twitter page and he apologized saying he read a tweet and went with it before checking it out for himself. Have entertainers and twitter gone too far? It's not only celebs duking it out online, many everyday tweeters have confrontations on a daily basis. I mean is it that serious to have "Twitter Beef?"

You be the judge.
