The hip-hop world got hit with a bombshell when Timmy Bandsome, a transgender influencer, dropped a TikTok confession that flipped the script on their accusations against rapper BossMan Dlow. After sparking a firestorm by claiming Dlow slid into their DMs with flirty vibes, Timmy now says it was all a lie, cooked up with AI and some slick editing for clout. This drama, which had fans buzzing and Dlow’s name in the mud, is finally getting some clarity, but why is the truth coming out now?
Back on May 19, 2025, Timmy Bandsome, with a hefty 313K Instagram followers, posted what looked like incriminating screenshots of Dlow hitting them up. The alleged messages showed the Port Salerno rapper, whose real name is Devante McCreary, complimenting Timmy’s pics and trying to set up a private link-up, supposedly using Instagram’s Vanish Mode to keep it lowkey. The posts blew up, with social media splitting down the middle: some called Dlow out, while others smelled a setup. The accusations threatened to derail the 26-year-old’s rise, fresh off his 2024 Billboard Hot 100 hit “Get in with Me” and debut album Dlow Curry.
Dlow wasn’t about to let the rumors slide. On May 20, he hopped on Instagram Stories, firing back,
“I ain’t tryna beat nobody on the internet…ion even play them games. Just keep st in the streets when you decide you wanna play with a real street n*a.”
He also hinted at new music, keeping his focus on the bag rather than the beef. In other posts, he called out Timmy’s motives, saying,
“I can see now you jus do people any kinda way,”
and
“I’m jus sayin u not genuine [for real] u jus bout money f— a bond a real friend vibe.”
The message was clear: Bossman Dlowwas denying the claims and ready to move on.

Fast forward to now, and Timmy’s dropped a bombshell confession on TikTok that’s got the streets talking.
“I’m coming on TikTok to address the Bossman situation. Bossman D’Lo never messaged me. It was AI. It was edited. It was photoshopped,”
They said in the video. Timmy admitted to using a friend’s phone to fake the DMs, even creating a
“fake thread of me texting myself back.”
Why’d they do it?
“I know it sounds crazy and I just did all this stuff on the internet for attention but a bitch was bored and I thought it was funny,”
They confessed. But the tone shifted when they realized the stakes:
“Now I know it’s not funny because I’m really fking with this man’s career and his money. I’m sorry you guys. Y’all can bash me. Y’all can hate me. I really don’t give a fk.”
So, why spill the beans now?
Timmy’s confession points to a mix of guilt and pressure. After the accusations went viral, the backlash likely hit hard, with Dlow’s fans and the hip-hop community calling foul. The realization that they were “f**king with this man’s career” seems to have pushed Timmy to come clean, especially as the controversy kept Dlow’s name in messy headlines. The use of AI to fake the DMs also raises eyebrows about how far some will go for clout in the social media age, where a single post can make or break a rapper’s rep.
