Bow Wow Deletes Melania Trump Tweet Amidst Threats5 min read

Shad Moss known as Bow Wow is now stepping back from a potentially serious showdown with federal authorities.
He is now attempting to step away from a potentially ugly situation after the Secret Service and federal authorities have now become involved. Last week, the rapper blasted an aggressive tweet against Melania Trump, one that threatened to forcefully ‘pimp’ the first lady in retaliation for disrespect shown to Snoop Dogg.
The tweet picked up intense media attention and could be a felony. A threat of violence or kidnapping against the spouse of an active president is considered a felony offense under US law.
At least one rapper has been confronted by the US Secret Service officers over lyrical death threats against Trump.
That means there is the possibility of greater intervention and charges in the current dispute.
Present, there is no concrete evidence to suggest that US agents have been in contact with Bow Wow or other rappers. However, the tweet was removed and the bigger dispute seems to have calmed down.
Bow Wow’s involvement follows a bigger blowup between Snoop Dogg and Donald Trump. In a video released last week which has nearly 7 million views on YouTube (and counting), Snoop staged a ‘mock assassination’ of president Trump , using a clown-faced version of him. The video, was created for the track ‘Lavender,’ and drew an angry rebuke from Donald Trump himself, who demanded ‘jail time’ for the rapper.
Currently federal authorities may be ‘actively monitoring’ the situation but charges have not been filed against Snoop Dog.
