Rapper and Compton Sheriff Squash Twitter Beef

Last Friday, not so great rapper The Game tweeted a phone number that his followers should call about getting a music internship. The number was the Compton Sheriff's office, which was unsurprisingly bombarded with calls. After a little more shittalking, The Game decided to apologize on CNN: "My sincerest apologies to the Sheriff's Department.... It was a joke gone wrong." He then blamed the "mishap" on a friend and the L.A. County Sheriff's Department accepted. Oh God, is it still August?
