Bow Wow has lost control of his Twitter account to a rapper, who is using the account to promote his own mixtape. The issue started yesterday evening, when a 19-year-old hacker from Indiana took over Bow Wow’s account and began sending out messages, in addition to some of Bow’s business dealings. The hacker, who was impressed with the amount of ladies Bow Wow interacts with, then started tweeting out messages promoting a mixtape, “Code of the Streets Vol. 1.” That didn’t sit too well with Bow Wow’s 2 million fans, who dissed the mixtape. “Well you can hate me all you want. YOU PEOPLE are mad because I’m going to make it big. You people are childish. Go Get my mixtape,” the rapper tweeted. At press time, Bow Wow still does not have control over his Twitter account.

Philly rapper Beanie Sigel will also drop by RapFix Live to discuss his new album This Time, in addition to his pending prison sentence for tax evasion. Food & Liquor II: The Great American Rap Album Pt. 1. is due in stores September 25.

LL Cool Jay has been bad for a long time, but now it seems that he has proven it beyond being tremendously successful. According to TMZ, somebody tried to break into LL’s house and found this out first hand.

Last night, some idiot set off LL’s burglar alarm in his Los Angeles home and ended up getting apprehended by LL until the LAPD arrived to arrest the perp. Not sure what LL did to the man to make him chill, but I think its safe to say LL – not a small dude – put his paws on him. Shout out to Lil Scrappy! The man reportedly was bruised up.

Somebody musta forgot!!!!!
