The cover-up is always greater than the crime. That is one of the first things they teach you in journalism school, but it still happens to this day.
The easy thing to do would be for Donte to say he was 13 and he was tweeting like a dumb 13-year-old who liked Meek Mill, didn’t know anything about girls and was annoyed at his parents. Conceptually you see he wasn’t being racist with his tweets, just being 13 he probably never thought any of this would matter 7 years later.
But, it is a good lesson for everyone that social media doesn’t care, if you become a star or an overnight celebrity they will start digging for dirt.
Nova lied and said he was hacked (he wasn’t so they had to delete that tweet) and Donte said he didn’t even remember which is likely true.
Flip the pages for all the deleted tweets.
