ADRIEN BRONER insisted he made an “honest mistake” after he was exposed for messaging 16-year-old rapped Bhad Bhabie.
The American, famous for her “Cash me out side, how ’bout dah” catchphrase, shared a screenshot of the 30-year-old’s message.

Broner, who has held world championships in four weight classes, messaged her: “Text me crazy girl.”
Bhad Bhabie, real name Danielle Bregoli, exposed the 30-year-old to her 17.2million followers on Instagram.
She posted a screenshot of the direct message and attached a video of the Akon hit “Locked Up.”
Fans jumped to her defence by calling out Broner and even tagging the FBI and Atlanta Police in the post.
But Broner, nicknamed “The Problem”, has insisted he was not aware of her age when he got in touch with her.
Speaking to the Shade Room, he said the incident was an “honest mistake.”
He added: “Nobody wants to date a kid.
“But I fault Instagram for not having people’s age on their profile.
“I thought she was grown the way she out here moving.”
It comes a month after he was ordered to pay over £600,000 to a woman who claims she was sexually assaulted by him in a nightclub.
And he hit the headlines in March when he threatened to shoot gay men “in the f****** face” if they touched him during a vile homophobic rant.
Broner last fought in a unanimous decision defeat to Manny Pacquiao in January, a bout he pocketed £1.92m for.
