Man, listen. Trying to slide into someone’s direct messages for a little, ehem, private discussion without being seen is hard enough on Twitter. But when you’re a married celebrity it’s even more difficult. Just ask Mike Epps.
When the comedian tried to holla at a young woman and take the conversation somewhere a little more private, his wife stepped in and she wasn’t pleased.
Things began innocently enough. Twitter user @CeciCitra made a remark about spoilers, and I guess that was the opening the comedian needed to say hello.
ppl really get angry about "spoilers" lmfaoooo

Everything seemed above board until Epps asked if @CeciCitra was on Instagram so he could, presumably, peruse her pictures, and well, Mrs. Epps jumped in.

Soon after Mrs. Epps put the kibosh on her husband’s creeping, @CeciCitra was mysteriously blocked from any further interactions with Epps.

Can we talk about how the unsung line in this whole Mike Epps saga is "Wasn't getting the likes I deserved?" Jesus Christ.
