Rapper J Cole was threatened on the Twitter by a fan who posted a photo of a gun pointed at a little girl. The fan tweeted the picture to J Cole demanding for the rapper to respond, TMZ reports. Along with the crazy photo was the caption "@JColeNC retweet me and I'll buy Born Sinner. Don't retweet me and I'll kill my lil sister."
Reportedly Justin Bieber was also the victim of a Twitter blackmail last year. According to The Stir, Bieber vented on Twitter that his laptop and camera had been stolen and it had "personal footage" stored on there. Later that same day, a nude photo of what was supposed to have Bieber however a lot of people didn't believe it was actually him in the pictures. Then an anonymous person from a Twitter account started tweeting the pop singer and claimed they had the "personal footage" Bieber was looking for and if the singer didn't meet his demands he would start posting the footage.
Bieber exchanged some words with the secret user but nothing major was leaked except a few videos of the "Boyfriend" hanging out with some friends. Many people thought the Twitter blackmail was a hoax because not long after that happened Bieber and Minaj released the video for "Beauty and the Beat."
