Be clear: Curtis Jackson has had a Twitter account for awhile but today he finally found out how to use it himself. Right Broadway? Oh boy! Fuck a ghost twitterer, The Southside King went in hard body.

“She dated Slim Thug, but now she fuck with me. She finally made it to the biggest boss luckily…”

In the latest RESPECT mag cover story, Clifford chops it up with Datwon Thomas and reveals the concept behind the all-star video that never was. Damn shame! Issue’s on newsstands now. Gon’ get you some!
