Twitter: home of Lil B curses, the occasional Kanye West rant and where trigger fingers turn to … you know the rest. Over time, rap has made its presence known on Twitter while providing artists with a platform to directly connect with countless fans now at 280 characters at a time. Our favorite artists, entertainers, and influencers use the site as an outlet to vent without a filter, as well as to promote their latest work. With 330 million monthly active users to interact with, feeds can sometimes get overwhelming, which is why HipHopDX curates a list of the week’s best and most memorable tweets from the Hip Hop world.
This week’s installment of Tweets Is Watching includes Zaytoven taking back his words and the mannequin meme.

The tweet about having a 100k followers before you get signed was misinterpreted statement from my Intern. They were just saying a lot of labels look for numbers now. BUT U KNOW IM LOOKING FOR THE REAL TALENT #Beilvedat
— Zaytoven (@zaytovenbeatz) August 15, 2018
Earlier in the week, Zay tweeted that a large social media following is necessary to catch his attention when considering which artists to work with. He later took it back, saying his intern misinterpreted his words — but not before his mentions went to shambles.
