Example Starts Twitter War With The Whole Of Wigan
Wednesday, 07 November 2012
Written by Elliott Batte
English singer-songwriter and rapper Example managed to make front-page news in Wigan (perhaps not a massive achievement, actually) today - after becoming the town’s mortal enemy thanks to a tweet.
The star, who has a rather large Twitter following (1.5million people large), found himself amidst a war with Wigan after writing: “What Twitter needs is a block button for the whole of Wigan, most of the abuse I get comes from Wigan. Are there any nice people in Wigan?” on his page yesterday.
This lead to Example receiving thousands of retweets and favourites from non-Wiganers, and a bucket-load of abuse from tweets living in Wigan - as well as some funny posts from Example himself.
He wrote:
Tweeted earlier about how most abuse I get on twitter is from people in Wigan. Unsurprisingly this has resulted in more abuse... from Wigan
