Tweeting about making it, after signing a $47 million NFL contract, probably isn’t the best idea if you still owe people money. That’s exactly what DeSean Jackson recently did, and a celebrity jeweler had no problem publicizing that Jackson still needed to settle his balance.  Complex magazine has the story:

Damn! This is what happens when keepin’ it real goes very, very wrong. Yesterday, DeSean Jackson jumped on Twitter to offer up a tweet dedicated to the fact that he’s finally pulling in a pretty decent paycheck after signing a $47 million contract in the NFL offseason.

Innocent enough, right? Except that Jackson apparently owes a celebrity jeweler a significant amount of money. So, shortly after he posted that tweet, the jeweler was quick to @ him with a bunch of tweets about the money in question.
