July 20, 2011

Yesterday morning I came across “up and coming” UK artist Rob Dem via Twitter and judging by our rather brief conversation the man clearly has issues. I responded to a tweet that somebody sent directly to me, and then up popped “singer” Rob Dem aka @BowEThree with this random remark, @BowEThree: @emilyyheartbeat ignor @madnewsblog she just wants 2B famous! Look at her! Shes a ugly black fool! & When I see her on road its a problem! And then went on to abuse some of my other black female followers, calling them “fat […]
