Tom Hanks’ son threatened Howard Stern on Monday.

Rapper Chet Haze — yes, he is too a rapper and that’s his name — tweeted to the 61-year-old radio personality: “I am going to see you in person, and I am going to hurt you.”

Because all rappers have feuds, and everyone on Twitter has Twitter feuds, know that this one goes back four years, to when Stern caught wind of Haze’s (aka Chet Hanks) rap career and joked about how he supposedly leads the life of a gangsta rapper while living the privileged life as the son of Hollywood royalty.

Stern said the elder Hanks “must be so annoyed,” on his radio show in February 2011. “Where’d he grow up, Beverly Hills? What a (expletive) douche.”

When fellow satellite radio personality Rude Jude appeared on Stern’s show earlier this month, Haze’s name came up. Which caused the 24-year-old Haze to get on Twitter, of course, writing: “@HowardStern your time has passed … You’re old … Only old people listen to you … The young generation doesn’t know you.”

Stern responded Monday on his show, according to Radar Online, saying he would tweet to Hanks to cut his son’s allowance, and pointed out that Stern earned fame without having a celebrity actor for a father.

That pretty much set Mr. Haze off.

In a barrage of tweets, Haze wrote, “Let me come up on your show (expletive) … Come catch this fade … have me live on the air and we can go pound for pound see who looks like the fool you dried up old (expletive) … easy to talk (expletive) in a closed off room (expletive), have me up there in the studio with you let’s give the ppl what they want.”

I’m not sure the “people” even know who he is.

Anyway, when Stern didn’t immediately reply, the son of Hanks tweeted, “Stop ducking me behind closed doors invite me up there and I’ll (expletive) on your whole world you (expletive) Jheri curled (expletive) … if you keep ignoring me it only proves you a (expletive).”

Then he got really mad.

Haze posted an emoji (one of those little moving icon thingies) of a firing gun, and wrote, “You know I will (expletive) you up hahaaaa (expletive).

“Howie … Do you have any idea how badly I am going to assault you when I see you … You can’t run from me forever knock knees … Howie … Listen. One day, maybe tomorrow, maybe 10 years from now, I am going to see you in person, and I am going to hurt you … I hope you travel with security!!! PLEASE have me on the show.”

I’m pretty sure Howard’s lawyers have probably advised him to hold onto those messages.

And for the grand finale, Haze tweeted “THATS WHAT SEPARATES ME FROM YOU (expletives) … I DONT LIVE MY LIFE BY ANYBODYS RULES BUT MY OWN … SUCK MY (expletive) (expletive)!!!! LMAOOOO!!!!!”

I bet, if Tom Hanks saw that, he might just be annoyed.
