MC Hammer’s “Cousin Marv” (Marvin Turell Grant) who has appeared on his A&E reality show was arrested for allegedly raping a 40 year old woman he met on Twitter.

He has been bailed out by his famous cousin, (who, by the way, has over a million Twitter followers).

Supposedly, Marvin arranged to meet this woman for dinner subsequently went back to a hotel in Livermore, California where the assault would have taken place.

Hammer occasionally offers up words of encouragement for Marvin via his Tweets. In one, he even welcomes his cousin to FAME.

Big Marv thanks his followers
