MIAMI — In a sign of the times, rapper Bow Wow was caught — on Twitter — bragging about his inebriated driving in a Lamborghini after visiting a nightclub on New Year's Eve. After blogs picked up and posted the tweets widely, he took the messages down and posted an apology calling himself "stupid and immature."
The original message read: "Face numb im whippin the lambo. Tipsy as f*k. " It was followed by another one, seeming to indicate he was headed to other clubs, reading: "Im f**ked up!!! Ohhhh damn. Y I drive the lambo. Chris might have to drive after next spot." Earlier in the evening, he had posted: "Im saying sorry now for what I might tweet...Im young n rich im goin hard 2nite."
The apology, still visible on Bow Wow's Twitter page, reads: "Apologize for that tweet. it was stupid and immature. not a way i want to kick my #2010 year off. i got too much good stuff lined up. my bad."
In a video posted on YouTube earlier this year, Bow Wow is shown seated in his Lamborghini Gallardo, which he calls his "big-boy Lambo," and bragging about the car in extremely colorful language.
Inside Line says: Twitter messages aren't enough to trigger a drunk-driving arrest, but let's hope the negative publicity was a wake-up call for the young rapper. — Laura Sky Brown, Correspondent
