Twitter Dispute With Rapper Ice-T
Most recently, Mann has been involved in what appears to be a dispute with rapper Ice-T. On April 8, 2010, shortly after midnight locally, Mann made a comment through her Twitter account which read: "Christ, there is no reason in the world anyone should ever have cast Ice T in a television show."http://twitter.com/aimeemann/status/11811247020 Her twitter account—@aimeemann—appears to have the default settings in place, meaning her comment that night was posted publicly and available for viewing by anyone.
Ice-T, upon reading her comment, fired back at Mann at 9 AM the same morning. Under his Twitter account @FINALLEVEL, Ice-T said, "Hey @aimeemann stop worrying bout my acting bitch, and worry about your WACK ass music. In the mean time.. Eat a hot bowl of Dicks! Ice T".http://twitter.com/FINALLEVEL/status/11830397783 He made this post just nine hours after Mann's original tweet.
Mann then posted the following three messages on twitter:
- "Oh NOOOO!! Someone just told me that Ice T responded to my tweet about him!! THIS CAN'T BE GOOD!!!"http://twitter.com/aimeemann/status/11883703361
- "Plus, I do not like to hurt people's feelings. I forget that twitter is not just me and four other dorky friends, ragging on TV stars."http://twitter.com/aimeemann/status/11883835616
- "He's out there doing his job. He doesn't need any heckling from the peanut gallery. So, I am sorry, Mr. T! You get out there and DO IT!"http://twitter.com/aimeemann/status/11883942683
In reply to these posts, Ice-T eventually declared the feud over by posting: "OK. Homegirl apologized....... Say no more. FLTG Cease fire! "Once again there's Peace in Twitterland." Ice T"http://twitter.com/FINALLEVEL/status/11890205406 Before posting this, however, Ice-T did mention that he and his Twitter followers—which he seems to refer to as "The Final Level Twitter Gang"—do not ever attack, but "WILL RETALIATE".http://twitter.com/FINALLEVEL/status/11888576866
