Cam Newton’s Twitter gets hacked

Cam Newton is an injured quarterback on a struggling Carolina Panthers team, and on Tuesday his Twitter account paid special tribute to that fact.

Unfortunately for Newton, his Twitter account was hacked while he was in practice, or at least that’s what Newton and the Panthers have put out on social media.

His account proceeded to tweet at Richard Sherman and post nonsense until eventually the person who hacked Newton’s account Tweeted out his Playstation Network gamer handle and a YouTube page that had a rap song.

I’m not linking it but it was kind of a banger.

Newton’s account was then suspended. No doubt he’ll have it back under his control soon.
